Yeah, 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.
