I think this is a decently interesting consideration in programming language design. When you have things flowing from left to right, not only do you get better autocomplete as per the article, but it’s probably also easier to read, and very likely easier to edit (your cursor can simply go in its natural direction instead of having to jump around).

Though this comment on Lobsters points out that left-to-right code under one way of thinking is not necessarily left-to-right code if you approach it with a different way of thinking.
