So in one swell foop they manage to confuse C and Java people (printf), Go 
people (Printf), Pascal people (writeln), C# people (WriteLine), Python 
people (print), Javascript people (log), Fortran people (write) and 
probably other languages I'm not familiar with. 

Then there is fn, function, func, def, and a few others. I hate languages 
that are sort of like other languages but not quite. At least JavaScript 
doesn't get its knickers in a knot over semicolons, altohugh its casual 
approach to ' and " burns me when I use not so casual languages.
