I'd like to see DIP88 (Named Parameters) revived. Was this
proposal rejected or is it just stale and needs a refresh?
Named parameters can be implemented in a library, however, in
my opinion they are useful enough to warrant a clean syntax
with language support. I'd be willing to refresh the DIP so
long as I know the idea has not already been rejected.
DIP reminds me of object destruction.
/* extracts success & message from returned type. Could be tuple
or structure, etc. May even eliminate use of tuples for multiple
return
*/
auto {success, message} = callVoldermortFunction();
This is concept is used in Kotlin. JavaScript es6 takes it even
further (function parameters and arguments support object
destruction)
