I wholeheartedly agree with not obsessing about the token count. I’m very
sensitive to context in this regard: in some contexts, I don’t mind or even
welcome additional tokens, in other contexts I hate them.
However, avoiding repeating the same identifier several times seems worth it to
me (this kind of redundancy goes beyond dropping a token or using shorter
tokens).
Java:
class Point {
public int x;
public int y;
public Point(int x, int y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}
JavaScript:
class Point {
constructor(this.x, this.y) {
}
}
Java is even more fun if you have getters and setters for x and y.
