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)
People often call this "destructuring" or "unpacking" to avoid
confusion with destructors.
