Jordan, The sentiments in that link discuss the wisdom of having the StringLiteral definition include NoSubstitutionTemplate, a question about which I am agnostic, and wouldn't provide the full functionality I'm asking about, anyway.
And I also understand that the spec currently only allows computed property names in square brackets. My suggestion was that ComputedPropertyName *could* be changed to include TemplateString (without square brackets). Whether this is worth doing or paints JS syntax into a corner is a fair question, but I don't see that adding TemplateString to ComputedPropertyName would create any syntactic ambiguities and wouldn't seem to present daunting implementation issues. But maybe this last assertion is incorrect and ambiguities would arise or implementation would be a nightmare?

Thus, no change is possible. On Thu, Nov 7, 2019 at 10:00 AM Alex Kodat <mailto:ako...@rocketsoftware.com> wrote: Thanks Gus, Good stuff. Though I think I’d take a different tack on the discussion at that link, especially as I think the template literals should allow substitutions (why not?): let obj = { `${Date()}`: 1}; I guess the tack I would take in the spec would be to add TemplateLiteral to ComputedPropertyName and not worry about whether or not it's a NoSubstitutionTemplate.

Is there a reason template literals are not allowed as property names in object literals? I can do: let obj = {'foo bar': 1}; and let obj = {"foo bar": 1}; but not let obj = {`foo bar`: 1}; It doesn't seem that allowing the latter would present any syntactic problems and seems like almost an oversight that it's not allowed. The main reason I ask is that we've gone completely over to using template literals for all our literals (why not?) and was surprised that we can't use a template literal as an object literal property name. Obviously, we can do: let obj = {[`foo bar`]: 1}; And given that square brackets allow arbitrary expressions for propery names, it wouldn't seem that supporting template literals for object literal property names would not present any daunting implementation issues. I guess I'd argue that the Principle of Least Astonishment and/or completeness suggests that JS should support this. Sorry if this has been asked before but couldn't find anything in the archive.
