When I forget a multiplication sign * between two parentheses, I receive this error:

julia> (1/2)(3+4)
ERROR: MethodError: objects of type Float64 are not callable

This error is confusing for beginners. (A colleague was just stuck with that error and asked for help.) Could you add "Maybe you forgot a multiplication operator * after a number?" to it?

It should be noted that it currently applies to all of the existing packages.

This comes up when rearranging or deleting elements of a list. I can't see any reason not to just allow ignored optional commas. The current UX is you get an annoying or cryptic parse error. Once the code gets added to the codebase, it will get nicely formatted with the proper number of commas but it's okay to have some sloppiness at parse time.

You can check out Parser.seq in Parser.hs whi

Motivation

After discussion at https://scsynth.org/t/terminology-question/3372 it came to my attention there's a couple uses of ableist language in our project that we could easily replace with more inclusive language -- specifically "crazy" and "idiot". This would be really easy to do, so let's do it!

Description of Proposed Feature

Replace with better words :)

Plan for Imple

Should suppress --strict warnings.
