Deviating from conventions to avoid footguns is so misguided. I've been writing C family languages for like 15 years and never once accidentally done a if (foo); whatever;

The convention itself IS the thing that stops you from fucking that up. It's the kind of thing you do once 2 days into a 30 year career and never again.

I still think it's dumb in Javascript, where you could be using the language on day 2 of learning programming. But in a GPU shader language that it would be almost impossible to understand with no programming experience? It's actually insane.

Having said that everything else about this project looks pretty good, so I guess they can get a pass lol.
