Re: [RFC] Arrow functions / short closures

Hi, it's nice to see this going on again :) while reading the rfc I was wondering, why do we need the "static" keyword, couldn't static function be detected automatically ? I guess this apply to the existing closure syntax as well so to get more on this topic I'll share my preferences on the syntax: I like the ==> or ~> version because it also allow to drop the parenthesis when there is only one argument and it's closer to what I'm used to in javascript I wouldn't mind having the rust syntax too but yeah, it would feel a bit odd in PHP thank you for your work on this !
