Given the recent go at finding alternative syntax for the <| operator, I thought about it and decided to split the functionality between creating "instances" using alternative prototypes, and the other side of the fence making reusable extended objects easier to make.
Its a little long so I threw it in a gist: https://gist.github.com/2056771 Summary: In the case of creating what I would call an instance (not meant to create further instances) I have small, tight syntax: //using : instead of <|, shorten Email.prototype to just Email let email = Email:"russell.legg...@gmail.com"; if(email.isValid){ email.sendMessage({ subject: "Hello!", body: "you won't find this on a normal string, dude" }); } and in the case of extension, rely on some class syntax getting approved: class Email extends String { get isValid:function(){...} ... } There even an added bonus of a simple short-function syntax let f = Function; [1,2,3].map( f:(num){return num * 2;} ); where : is in place of <| and the 'function' keyword can get dropped on the RHS. - Russ
