I've moved from PHP to JS and I found this confusing. I don't any
more, but I was used to saying I wanted an array by using the Array
keyword (makes sense - no shortcut - no confusion).
I still say Array() and Object() as they explicitly declare my
intentions and others that would find [] and {} confusing (at least
initially) don't have to struggle with my code.
[] is fine for accessing an array. That's very common in many languages.
{} was confusing as that is that is used to wrap a function's code.
I don't see any real benefit in using $a = [] over $a = array()
So, for a userland developer (rather than a core developer) -1.
