Juxtaposition (`foo size()`) is a serious contender I think. In fact, I consider it is one of the most undervalued syntactic choices.


In HS I built a toy language where it was `foo's size()`, if you want to play even further down the English-like rabbit hole, even trying to stick to BNF-ish CFGs. `'s` is actually a surprisingly unambiguous token in a language without a "char type" and that sticks to double quotes only for strings.
