Julia uses the curly brackets for type parameterization.

I much prefer the D template syntax even though I'm way more used to '<>' from C++, Java, and Rust. If I were going to make a change in syntax to D3 I'd make variable declaration syntax postfix, like Go, Scala, Kotlin, Rust...

Tell us more. I've thought about this one but haven't been able to determine if either method is objectively better. How do you think each method would affect a language in general?
