True but, as @jiyinyiyong says, if contributors can keep the relevant features onto it it may be worth it, I'm not a fan for brackets and the syntax they use is nice.
I'm afraid this is just a part of sharing the specs put forward by a wider community - there are going to be some bits here and there we don't individually like. I wouldn't put much stock into an increasingly irrelevant compiling language because of a couple of characters you don't like though. :) Embrace the new and I promise you'll get used to it. Who knows, maybe brackets will become optional in the future??
