Hi-- I was reading about the proposed shorter function syntax on the wiki and want to comment on it.
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:shorter_function_syntax I do not see how it is advantageous to using a special symbol, '#'. Taking the example. [0, 1, 2, 3].map( #(x) {x * x} ) If the goal is just to be more concise, what is wrong with 'f' as an abbreviation of 'function'? [0, 1, 2, 3].map( f(x) {x * x} ) Or 'fn', if it seems a little clearer. [0, 1, 2, 3].map( fn(x) {x * x} ) Heck you could even use 'y' as an upside down lambda if you wanted. [0, 1, 2, 3].map( y(x) {x * x} ) Any of these seem a much nicer choice than '#', IMHO. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
