why do people use this syntax?
if val == someVal
or
while val != someVal
it makes editing the code harder then if you use if(val == someVal).
The theory goes:
A. "less syntax => easier to read".
B. "There's no technical need to require it, and everything that can be
removed should be removed, thus it should be removed".
Personally, I find the lack of parens gives my brain's visual parser
insufficient visual cues to work with, so I always find it harder to
read. And regarding "B", I just don't believe in "less is more" - at
least not as an immutable, universal truth anyway. Sometimes it's true,
sometimes it's not.
