Too confusing imo. I'd like to retain the fat arrow that effectively 
communicates the callability:

let f(x) => y;

It would work fine without parameters as well:

let f() => y;
let f => y;

Alternatively just use a single equals sign with a parameter list:

let f(x) = y
let f() = y

(which almost looks like Haskell, hehe).
