I've been casually following this discussion, and I can't help but rail
against the inherent limitations of ES's C heritage.
>From the control abstraction standpoint, although {||...} gets close to
that goal, the discrepancy from "true" {...} control syntax stands out
like a sore thumb to me. And others have already pointed out the rest
params issue. I think it would be best to just stick with the functional
standpoint - lambdas as lightweight functions. Solving the control
abstraction should be dealt with in another less "hacky" way. There are
languages that can integrate lambdas easily with control abstraction;
unfortunately, ES is not one of them.
(As a side note, sometimes I wonder if all this talk about sugar is
moot, because I suspect more and more languages will start compiling
down to ES.)
