If it's possible in JavaScript to have `:`, and enable significant spacing, that would be great. ________________________________ From: es-discuss <[email protected]> on behalf of Ed Saleh <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 3, 2019 3:34:09 PM To: Bergi <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Optional Curly Braces in JavaScript
Why you don't *want* to? I didn't force you to like my proposal. I am just posting my ideas for feedback, not see who wants and doesn't want to like it. ________________________________ From: es-discuss <[email protected]> on behalf of Bergi <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 3, 2019 3:17:11 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Optional Curly Braces in JavaScript Hi Ed! > Update to the proposal: > > Since we can't make spaces in JavaScript, the best we can do is use '_' > instead. You misunderstood. We *could* make use of significant whitespace in JavaScript (enabled by the `:` instead of a brace after a statement) - we just don't *want* to. That said, `_` is not a workable solution - apart from _ (and any repetitions of it) being a valid identifier already, *chaining* it like you described doesn't work with nested blocks: ``` for (const x of [1,2,3]) _ if (x % 2) _ console.log('odd') _ console.log(x) ``` would be indistinguishable from ``` for (const x of [1,2,3]) _ if (x % 2) _ console.log('odd') _ console.log(x) ``` (and no, please don't suggest repetion of whatever token you come up with for signifying nesting level) kind regards, Bergi _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
