My plan was to have two possible argument formats for the rgba function: rgba(r, g, b, a) and rgba(color, a). I think this is the most intuitive input format, and more importantly is easily discoverable. It was what Charles originally thought, for instance. In most cases, it would be used with an RGB hex value; I'd consider the fact that it works with color names and variables a bonus.
OK, good points. I did originally think that, didn't I.
I don't like the idea of introducing a new syntax for alpha colors on our own. A CSS-based syntax already exists, and with the new rgba() form it will definitely be easy enough to choose specific alpha values. I don't want to risk potential incompatibility with future CSS syntax additions and make the language diverge more from CSS unnecessarily.
That's a very good point indeed and one I was thinking about as I was driving home. I definitely see the point regarding not wanting to introduce unnecessary new syntax, whether that be a hexa() "function" or new hex colour notation.
So all good points well argued guys. That kind of wraps it up for me and I'm happy with your decision. Good debate. :)
