The syntax is inherently > ceremonious; why trouble to elide an extra token at > the head? and i would prefer to keep that syntax available if at some point in the future we decide to allow classes (or perhaps just record) to be initialized in a literal way. record Person(String name, int age) {} var person = new Person { name = "Ana", age = 31 }; Person person = new { name = "Ana", age = 31 }; which is more readable once you starts to have more than 3 or 4 components (and avoid builders).
