It's shorter to write, sure. But we can come up with special-purpose ways to shorten code all day. This proposal is not consistent with the existing shorthand syntax, or the object-destructuring syntax it also somewhat resembles. It's unique, while looking very similar to existing syntax, and for a relatively small case (extracting a subset of the properties of an object into another object, with the same key names). That's usually not a recipe for success. :( ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
