"Nothing is going to match Smalltalk on this. Keyword parameters are not even on the map because object literals suck the oxygen out of the room. And then you'll want to get rid of the || for empty block parameters."

Sorry for this question, it is more a meta one. The paragraph above seems too dense for me to digest (and I thought my English is pretty good). Would it be possible to explain a little more? Like what is meant by "going to match"

"be as good as" Smalltalk.

and what is "this" in "on this;

"on keyword selector syntax".

and things like "not in the map"

No strawman or even idle chatter about adding keyword parameter passing to JS.

, "o.l. suck the oxygen out of the room", and the last sentence, too.

We have discussed here and in TC39 how {key: val} actual parameters in the language already (object literals) remove most of the justification and almost all motivation for adding key: val parameter syntax to call expressions.

Thank you, Herby

Hope this helps.

I'm using a new mail user agent and it does tend to overcite. Sorry, will try to fix.
