The issue may not be undiagnosed upset-ness, rather ASI.
Leaving out () in front of => in a language such as CoffeeScript, which
has significant newlines, is easier than making the empty arrow formal
parameters optional in JS. True, a parenthesized expression statement
usually won't be mistaken for a parameter list, and an arrow usually
won't start a statement.
But code generators and machine or human editors might manage to produce
( a, b )
=> c
( d );
I'm not very worried about this biting anyone, but it's a potential
objection and one I suspect blenching TC39ers near me would make.
and separately consider making an empty body-block optional.
Sorry if I missed this, but: What would this be used for?
Just a short-hand for returning undefined, for a stub function.
