Any of these usages (at least for the more widely used languages) are fairly new so I don't know that they establish that strong of a precedent for ES. The starting premise for considering -> is that we are not likely to use it (or =>) for a lambda shorthand. Block lambda seems to be the direction that how the most momentum.
