@awbjs @littlecalculist @BrendanEich Will let it rest, but I think this was an extremely unfortunate decision. Predates me by mere months :(
@BrendanEich @awbjs @littlecalculist This argument is ~ "blub".

@wycats ISTM you're doing the "blub" thing as a recovering Rubyist. Look at if-else-value nest vs. if-return case.@awbjs@littlecalculist -
@BrendanEich@awbjs@littlecalculist ISTM that committee did not consider `continue` or something like it as "return from block" a la Ruby -
@wycats Of course we did; we're not idiots, we looked at Ruby. JS has no next v. continue. You're "blubbing" here.@awbjs@littlecalculist -
@BrendanEich@awbjs@littlecalculist "we're not idiots; we looked at ruby" does not comport with my experience on TC39 -
@wycats More Ruby-informed discussion links: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aesdiscuss.org+ruby+block ….@awbjs@littlecalculist -
@BrendanEich@awbjs@littlecalculist let's duke this out in person. Will likely be more productive. Want to win the twitter debate? Fine. -
@wycats No, I want you to read and search the archives for the stuff I remembered and trivially found. Gist next.@awbjs@littlecalculist -
@BrendanEich@awbjs@littlecalculist I concede to your superior Twitter debate skills.

@wycats No, "blub" is not my fave other-than-JS lang. if-early-return is JS (from C) native idiom. Deep precedent.@awbjs@littlecalculistThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
