I would like to suggest an alternative function declaration syntax rule : http://pastebin.mozilla.org/4258633 That will lead to a way shorter function declaration (like Array [...] and Object {...} does ) : long story short : <...> will be equivalent to function(...) Which mean : ```js var print = <name,age>{ //eq. to var print = function(name,age){... console.log("my name is " + name + " " + age + "y old.\n"); } Human = <name,age=0>{ this.age=age; this.name=age; this.toString=<>{ return ... }; } ``` And so, will work with anonymous function declaration (which was my main goal). ```js my_list.map(<val>{return val<0?-val:val;});//return absolut-ified array content ``` I may could be even shorter if expression-only function result were implicitly returned and it statements treated like "while" and "if" are (optional braces on single statement) : ```js var list=[{name:"Johnny",age:36},{name:"Mary",age:35}]; list.map(<e>e.name;); //equivalent to : list.map(function(e){return e.name;}); ``` I've implemented and tested this new rule. * No conflict with any current rules. * Backward compliant (previous "old-long" declaration still work) * JS scene could be pleased Do you think it could be submitted to the next ES draft ?
