In my opinion, because it is a point of contention, there should be no
special support for statics. It would be written exactly as you have it
above, or you could do
Foo.{
Bar() {
return new Foo("bar");
}
//potentially more here
};
I will reiterate the goal here of a *safety syntax*. Right now, my goal is
to just get some agreement on a class syntax where the future options are
open in case we can't find something better. I would still be happy to use
my minimal proposed class syntax because it gets past the hard part and
nails the 80% of code that's annoying. Some support for statics could be
added later if agreed upon but I'd hate to see it stop classes from
happening.
