FWIW, I like the semi colon. However, I prefer
| function(x,y):safe(z) { ... }
and
| (x,y):safe(z) => ...
because it enables further markdown annotation to functions, and I'm pretty
sure we will want some more in the future.
I don't know, crazy things like
| function(x,y):tail(...)
for tail-recursion-desired functions, or
| function(x,y):local(...)
for functions that can run on the same callstack because they can only get
called during their closure lifetime (they throw otherwise).
----
The brackets syntax looks reasonable, too, with an optional prelude:
| function(x,y)[z] { ... }
and
| (x,y)[z] => ...
Extensible to:
| function(x,y)[tail(...)]
for tail-recursion-desired functions, or
| function(x,y)[local(...)]
for
functions that can run on the same callstack because they can only get
called during their closure lifetime (they throw otherwise).
