I've noticed lately that a lot of heavy syntax proposals [1] [2] [3] have lately started appearing here that would only appeal to a small niche audience (and not likely garner general use), and are more like a "it'd be nice if we could write this instead" without much other benefit. I would like to note that JavaScript is already starting to feel a bit large, and we should definitely take greater care on realizing the added complexity of new language features, applying a much higher bar than this.

(If you really want features like those, check out Sweet.js, or maybe write an Acorn plugin or a Babylon/Esprima fork.)
