Why aren’t “alternate syntaxes” a thing? You can pretty easily just write code to convert between C-like and Python-like syntax. Why aren’t there IDE extensions that let you write in python syntax and automatically commit the standard syntax.
Transpilers are actually pretty popular in js land, Typescript is a good example. You can even transpile a really different syntax if you wanted to. For example, I use squint which lets me write Clojure syntax and produces js as output.
