Hi Anders,
The syntax you proposed is not backwards compatible.
Anton has directed you to articles on destructuring, which is the ES6 way to
accomplish what you want.
Let me elaborate. Your examples can be accomplished as follows:
function foo() {
// We return an array of values.
return [ 1, 2, 3 ];
}
let [ a, b, c ] = foo();
let [ a, b ] = foo(); // c is ignored
let [ a, ...b ] = foo(); // a is 1, b is [ 2, 3 ]
I believe if you are using Task.js, you can additionally use the asynchronous
form in like manner.
