Timothee Cour:
* better way to define default constructors:
class Point {
num x;
num y;
num z;
// Syntactic sugar for setting z and x before the constructor
body runs.
Point(this.z, this.x){...}
}
This is more explicit and flexible than D's way for default
struct
constructors, which can only allow to set all fields in order,
without
skipping some, and doesn't allow to do anything else in the
ctor.
A variant of this idea was discussed, and I think it's a good
idea.
* distinguish integer divide (~/) vs divide (/), so that 5/2=2,
5~/2=2
* shorthand function declaration with => (used not just for
lambdas)
Both good. But for the first you need a different syntax in D.
* optional named parameters arguments (with simplest possible
syntax)
* import all except specified symbols:
import 'package:lib2/lib2.dart' hide foo; // Import all names
EXCEPT foo.
Probably both good, if well designed.
