Since it seems there are many supporters for "arrow-like" symbols pointing
in either direction, and both of these groups seem to think the symbol
points in the "wrong" direction if it isn't the direction they imagine it
pointing to, perhaps it's better to look for more alternatives of
direction-neutral operators instead. Here are some suggestions:
let obj = proto \\ {
prop: "test",
foo: 10
}
let obj = proto #: {
prop: "test",
foo: 10
}
Another "direction-neutral" symbol that has been proposed is `<>`. I think
operators without a sense of direction would see less opposition.
