Well, you are kind of using my comment to vent your frustrations about AI while it has barely anything to do with it -- but you tried to link the two, unsuccessfully. Which is not fair as you have no clue of my stance on AI and are extrapolating a bit too much.
Syntax does not matter simply because it's an extremely leaky abstraction of the runtime below, is my point.
Of course syntax must be high signal/noise ratio, I believe every reasonable programmer will agree. But many are making entire careers in PLs where that's not the case. Hence, in practice it does not seem to matter much, for the better or the worse.
RE: runtime, try and pay attention to the parameters given in my comments. I specifically acknowledged that the JVM is a great and mature runtime but it's lagging behind on STM / actor capabilities. Tearing down a straw man is not impressive and it comes across as you trying to gain visibility by deliberately misrepresenting your discussion opponent's arguments.
