@BrendanEich @awbjs @littlecalculist my point: people FUDed about blocks, held up arrows as simpler. Arrows have more complex rules.

@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 -

@wycats Again,@awbjs & I supported. As@littlecalculist noted, return-throws hurt. Luke cited 'return' hazard. Several hits to battleship.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BrendanEich@wycats@littlecalculist It's sad that block lambda a poor fit to JS. But very happy with arrows. We made the right choice.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@awbjs@BrendanEich@littlecalculist this sentiment is what I am arguing against. Can live with decision but not this retcon.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@wycats@BrendanEich@littlecalculist simply my opinion after working hard to make block lambdas fit then doing arrow semantics1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@awbjs@BrendanEich@littlecalculist easily believe arrows easier to spec. Fewer lexical things to handle. Not nec simpler programming model1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@wycats Remember when I gave a block-lambda special sneak peek just for you at txjs? http://vimeo.com/27911873 (https://brendaneich.com/2011/08/my-txjs-talk-twitter-remix/ …)1 reply 1 retweet 3 likes
