arrow syntax unnecessary and the idea that "function" is too long

[Rick Waldron]

David,

Thanks for those clarifying points, much appreciated.

>From an academic perspective, I'm also curious about the change from # to ->

To be honest, # always seemed weird to me, but I welcome a shortened syntax regardless

Brendan once said "JS is a curly-brace language and it always will be". I think the -> looks works very nice with a pythonic-like forced indentation like Coffeescript has. However, I believe # looks better with curly braces, so I'd keep #(x) { x * x }.


I also think familiarity should be considered and that #(x) { x * x } would be more familiar to the casual JS programmer.
