In JavaScript, it might be more natural to take the chain block -> function -> object literal one step further and add class literals.

And if we keep object literals minimal, that won’t go away. -- Dr. Axel Rauschmayer [email protected] twitter.com/rauschma home: rauschma.de blog: 2ality.com _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
