As a general rule of thumb, I'm in favor of preferring syntactic characters to English words because words force my brain to read it and process it. For example, I think { and } are better than BEGIN and END. However, I'm a bit worried that => will temporarily confuse my brain into thinking this is a closure parameter (->). Really nitpicking, not sure it would be a big deal in practice
