Tangentially.. this is one of the things I don't like about a lot "newer" languages, like Rust and Zig. They seem to really love adding these single character sigils to the language that drastically change the meaning of a line of code or maybe an entire function.
As I get older my eyes strain more and all of this power packed into a single character really just puts me off. It seems like a strategy to emphasize writing code quickly rather than correctly, which is odd, given that this is opposite to the value proposition these languages purport to bring.
