Hi Rowan I see. I still think a simple poll would be useful to choose the least controversial syntax. Otherwise I fear that the RFC might get rejected out of superficial reasons. Regards, Ilija On 7 Feb 2017, 21:07 +0100, Rowan Collins <rowan.collins@gmail.com>, wrote:

And also, have you considered letting people vote for their preferred arrow function syntax? I kinda don’t think we’re gonna find an agreement as there are so many different opinions.

The problem with voting on alternative syntaxes is precisely that there *are* so many different options. Designing a vote with multiple options that gives an answer people are happy with is a whole science in itself. I think the best we can do is have a "without prejudice" vote on a single proposal - if it is declined, a new proposal can be made after a suitable period of reflection. This has already happened once with this very topic, this RFC having emerged from a previous one being rejected. That doesn't mean we can't discuss other syntaxes, but just opening up all possible options to a vote doesn't really help IMHO.

My suggestion for a vote would be: - Vote about the feature. - Vote about syntax if no consensus can be reached. My suggestion would be to both have a short and long version: - |params| => expr - lambda(params) => expr An example where one have two syntaxes for same feature is the jQuery library, i.e. $() and jQuery(). I plan to read up on the RFC once more this week regarding the feature itself. Any plans to go with this for 7.2? Regards //Björn Larsson
