I know this isn't applicable to the authot, but... what the hell is up with so many people being averae to just WRITING CODE. 18% fewer characters, are there seriously people who think that's meaningful?
It used to be pretty meaningful when autocomplete was not as powerful as it is today. Only very serious emacs users could achieve fast and flexible static completion before LSP forced everyone to step up their game.
Now that everybody and their grandparents have LSP available (or even more powerful tools if you're using Very Professional IDEs), it's not nearly as much of an issue, just hit tab and never type close brackets again.
It's not that folks are averse to writing code, it's more-so averse to actually typing out a shitton of boilerplate and feeling the slog until you actually get to the juicy bits where you have to think.
