Currently, the "extensible literal syntax" for this isn't that bad: const bar = 43; const map = Immutable.Map([["foo", 42], [bar, 44]]); It's a little more verbose because the entries have to be surrounded by [], but hey. ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
