Last time I asked, it was the "#" char that was wanted for private names. If
"#" has been replaced by "@" in private names, then we can replace "@" by
"#" in my proposal, and return to the original proposal of #functions. If
private name uses both @ and #, I raise *severe* concerns about it. Since
special ASCII chars are scarce, as you said, it seems unappropriate to use
two of them in a single module of Harmony, removing to all other modules
(and future proposals) the possibility to use these symbols. Beside that,
private names are great but not necessary.
BTW, you could use -> for private names. If I remember correctly my C
lessons, the -> operator is used to access members. You could use it for
private names, it would fit very nicely.
function setPrivateProperty(obj, value) {
private prop;
myObj->prop= value;
return private->prop;
}
var obj = {};
private prop = setPrivateProperty(obj, true);
obj.prop // undefined
obj->prop // true
Regards,
François

@ is wanted for private names.
There's no need to go a bikeshed- or snipe-hunt for coveted, scarce single
ASCII characters.
