I’m wondering why we don’t use any type and definition-aware IDEs that could render the first line as a proper table (especially once there is a list of items of the same type involved). With headers and aligned fields. Similar to how Word would do it with inline tables.

Ideally of course with a switch to change to the second, more verbose definition.




Rider (and probably all JetBrains IDEs?) have inlined parameter names and types as hints.

That would tie languages to language tools and IMO be a downgrade from having a slightly more verbose language that is independent of tooling.
