Re: An implementation of a short syntax for closures

Hello, >> $add = | $x |=> | $y : $x |=> $x+$y; > Not sure that it's really readable. This is not the most trivial example. In my blog, there is a small sub-section where I explain why this is more readable than an implementation with the current syntax. See under "Readability" and "A more complicated example". http://linepogl.wordpress.com/2011/08/04/short-closures-for-php-an-implementation/ :-) Lazare INEPOLOGLOU Ingénieur Logiciel Le 4 août 2011 10:50, Frédéric Hardy <frederic.hardy@mageekbox.net> a écrit : > Hello ! > >> I've always thought that just supressing the "function" keyword could work >> as a shorthand, i.e. having ([param1 [, param2 [, ...]]]){...}.
