Fair enough. I still like the other syntax better because it is very
common, and the form below implies something else to me. Seeing that I
immediately think I should be able to do:
[ { 'a', 'b', 'c' }, { 'a', 'b', 'c' } ]
Where ':' (or even the dreaded =>) more clearly implies mapping.
Is there a language that uses a syntax like the below?
