It's strange that they sometimes use [] to specify a type, other times they use (). That doesn't look very consistent to me.

I like the use of [] though, it reminds me of Scala, which I liked before they did the scala 3 fork.

Square brackets do not indicate "this is a type". Instead they indicate "these things were deduced from their context"
