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 say pause with a simpler design and digest, ruminate, prototype,
user-test.

Cool. I also have a
feeling that every paren-free lambda after the first one should have
some kind of preceding keyword or name, but I don’t know how one could
make that happen. Brace-free object literals? (only half joking)
