David,

Thanks for those clarifying points, much appreciated.

To be honest, # always seemed weird to me, but I welcome a shortened syntax

Since there's a call for developer feedback, I'll give mine.
Brendan once said "JS is a curly-brace language and it always will be". I think 
the -> looks works very nice with a pythonic-like forced indentation like 
Coffeescript has. However, I believe # looks better with curly braces, so I'd 
keep #(x) { x * x }.


I also think familiarity should be considered and that #(x) { x * x } would be 
more familiar to the casual JS programmer.
