So why not {"hello": 1, "there": 2} ?

I can't see the context of the beginning of this thread, but I've always
found:
fromList [("hello",1),("there",2)]
to be a relatively simple syntax, and still checked at compile time.
Anonymous sum + product types plus lists are a pretty good approximation
for lots of concrete syntax, and they're type checks.
(Anonymous sum, Either, is slightly more syntactically heavy than you'd
like, though...)
