David,
Thanks for those clarifying points, much appreciated.

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

Since there's a call for developer feedback, I'll give mine.
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.
