That hash symbol

As a simple matter of taste, I find the # symbol to be quite ugly and have
been thinking of alternatives for shortening function expression syntax.
In working with my own wonky version of promises, I continue to make the
same typing error over and over again. This is something like what I mean
to type:
obj.doSomething().then(function(val, err)
{
...
});
But I find myself typing this instead:
obj.doSomething().then(val, err)
{
...
});
The problem isn't so much the extra typing of the "function" keyword, but
the profusion of parens. I'd like to suggest the following form instead.
obj.doSomething().then(<val, err>
{
...
});
Correct me if I'm wrong, but since expressions cannot start with "<", this
shouldn't present any problems for a top-down parser. Is that right?
Thanks,
khs
