@wycats FWIW I prefer the switch too here but I don't like decisions "because of n00bs" they can learn @BrendanEich @awbjs @littlecalculist

@WebReflection "They can learn" too low a bar. Kitchen-sink languages incur outsized learning & impl. cost.@wycats@awbjs@littlecalculist2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BrendanEich@WebReflection@awbjs@littlecalculist arrows are a very complex feature. Not just "shorter functions".1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@wycats So are block lambdas. This is why I wrote that it's either one or the other in the proposals.@WebReflection@awbjs@littlecalculist1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BrendanEich@awbjs@littlecalculist my point: people FUDed about blocks, held up arrows as simpler. Arrows have more complex rules.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@wycats Arrows not *that* complex. Both have bespoke complexity, but block-lambda 'return' TCP alien to C-ish langs.@awbjs@littlecalculist2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BrendanEich@awbjs@littlecalculist arrows are partial TCP. Have to memorize when TCP and when not. Blocks have one rule you learn once.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@wycats New rules either way. I'm saying sum of both is too much. Agreed?@awbjs@littlecalculist2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BrendanEich@awbjs@littlecalculist extremely disappointed that arrows are not just "shorter functions" leaving space for more exploration1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@wycats Yet 'function' is too long. Lexical |this| wins, modulo new rule to learn. Partial, path-dependent progress.@awbjs@littlecalculist1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@BrendanEich @awbjs @littlecalculist truth. Original |this| broken (along with binding on extracted method). Arrows better in first regard.
