I like the lambda syntax (I don't recall seeing exactly this syntax before):
() -> alert("lambda")
(() -> alert("lambda")) () # to call it -> alert 'lambda'
(-> alert 'lambda')() # to call itI mean:
map x -> xx seq
might be readable ..
but:
map x -> xx seq seqs
is less clear.. while:
(map (x -> x*x) (seq seqs)) is more readable.
I'm thinking out loud, mainly because I tend to use the simplest syntax possible when coding in languages that allow for multiple syntaxes (i.e., Ruby). Most of the time, my decisions (at least) work out for me, and I don't have to go back and (say) add parentheses.
print("Hello");
print "Hello"
() => expression
arg => expression
arg, arg2 => expression
arg => { statement; expression }
