Hi, Maybe it could be possible to allow operator-like characters to be included in the methods names? Like:
Math.> It seems clear and readable. I believe it could be parsed easily, too. Transpilers could just change it to Math['>']. Or, maybe allow to use some kind of new syntax (easy to parse for transpilers), to explicitly inform the parser we want to use operator as a function? Say: myArray.sort(:>) I think both propositions fix the problem Waldemar mentioned.
