Too hard to show on twitter. Have to get into guts of forEach, etc. to show how they compose. My pdf was a start.
The arguments against block lambdas weren't persuasive to me, but between committee members blubbing and good enough arguments, yolo.

-
Just to be clear, I (a Smalltalk expert) convinced myself that block lambda with break/continue would be a bad for JS
-
Smalltalk's block-based control flow might have been seen as a diff, but ruby has traditional if/while/etc. Blocks bad for ruby?
-
Didn't mean to imply that I limited my investigation to what Smalltalk could do. See up thread pdf link
-
To be clear, I believe that you and
@BrendanEich arrived at this conclusion in good faith and after a great deal of thought. -
I do not mean to imply otherwise. I've read the PDF and this thread is just me bemoaning missing the window to debate as a committee member.
