I'd like to see the justifications for some of these, particularly 3.5 which I see as only obscuring that the current context is a function.

- arxpoetica 11y agoAgreed. That's pretty obscure.
- savanaly 11y agoMajor advantage: fewer characters to type and parse (parse with your eyes, that is). Major disadvantage: in the short term it might be difficult to parse. Possible additional major disadvantage: programmers may never adapt and find it difficult to parse for ever more.
- atinoda-kestrel 11y agoYeah, I'm not sold on "fewer characters" as a win. 'cause then we can have the code golf arguments that inevitably get into the nutty realm. For visual parsing, consistency matters. In an object literal dec I expect: name : value That's easy to parse visually. Not good is when suddenly we get: nameandvalue(){ in the space that our brain expects the former.
