1.- There are not quasi literals in the language yet 2.- quasi literals could as well use something else (the acute accent ?) instead 3.- a shorter function syntax is almost at the top in the programmers' wish list for ES.next (unlike quasis) Isn't it -perhaps- too soon to reject ` for functions in favor of quasis ? -- Jorge. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
