For the most part I can completely agree with the sentiment that all new syntax imposes some mental load on all language users but my question is how this applies when syntax RESTRICTIONS that seem counter-intuitive impose their OWN mental load. I think the inspiration of this thread and the few before it comes from the fact that destructuring syntax and object literal shorthand syntax seem to share in a root syntax yet the two features are incompatible which makes the mental load of the restrictions more obvious. - Matthew Robb
