$ for variables. I know that this is just based on how the language grew. But god do I hate having to type it. It is not an easy to reach letter and just breaks my typing flow the whole time. You get used to it but still.

I'm assuming you're not using an English keyboard..? Shift+4 is an extremely key combination for me lol
