Hi Daniel,

I assume Jochen's suggestion is coming from JavaScript/Kotlin, where the type of a function (method) is given after the colon.
there are many more than just those.
I think its readability is inferior to the C/C++/Java/... approach, and is only therefore suitable for often-not-typed languages such as JavaScript.
actually from several Pascal style languages like Modula2 or Ada. I think the C(++)/Java works well with a function name in between, but with just types and without the name it works better for me in the colon style.
Apart from it feeling alien to me in the Java/Groovy world, I fear next thing someone would suggest we introduce it into Groovy, which makes sense, "since we already use it in the Closure argument syntax"...
to be frank everything about generics is alien. It is just that people got used to it
bye Jochen
