Major 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.
