Hello folks! I just not understand why "function" should be abbreviated. It's about "how less character better"? I don't see it too much on PHP. I guess that is more simple keep what exists current "function", that all knows about (that should be better than the next example):
$mapped = array_map(function($x) => $x + $y); // vs current: $mapped = array_map(function($x) use($y) { return $x + $y }); Or even, I too don't know why just ($x) => is an issue. There some possible conflict why that? 2017-02-03 16:21 GMT-02:00 Michael Morris <tendo...@gmail.com>: > On Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 12:53 PM, Levi Morrison <le...@php.net> wrote: > > > > > To that end, I'd like to gauge interest in a pure syntax based > > > alternative that is similar to Rust and Ruby. > > > Instead of: > > > > > > fn(params) => expr > > > > > > What about: > > > > > > |params| => expr > > > > Looks great to me from up here in the peanut gallery. > -- David Rodrigues
