Yes, please. In fact I would like that the last expression in all
functions and delegates to be automatically returned.
When we're talking about improving the delegate syntax I would like to
have these two syntaxes for delegates:
foo(x => x * x)
and
foo(x) {
x * x
}
I personally don't like number one but that's subjective.
The second has a serious problem: it makes the grammer context
sensitive. You can't distinguish such a call from a local function
definition.
Therefore I suggest:
foo(x) do (...){
...
}
How is that? A function definition requires a type and a name, not just
a name. BTW, it works find in Scala, but that might be because functions
start with the "def" keyword.
'do' is already a keyword but only once ten years used for a do...while
loop. If the functions are named correctly it reads perfectly:
when!SomeEvent do (ev) {
}
where when is:
void when(T : Event)(void delegate(T) reaction) {...}
I would rather not have the "do" keyword there.
