Yes, block lambdas are awesome and will nearly eliminate the "dynamic this
versus lexical this" quirk from JavaScript.
var obj = {
foo: function () {
console.log("hi!");
},
bar: function () {
// block lambdas = lexical `this`
// = picks up `this` from surrounding function
window.addEventListener('load', {||
this.foo(); // "hi!"
}, false);
}
}
