So far, the only decent proposal I've seen here is the keyword operator idea. It looks operator-y, and it actually reads like what you expect. Few nits about the general idea, and most of these would probably keep TC39 from considering them:
1. `neq` is better than `noteq`. 2 fewer characters for a common operation. 2. JS is a weakly typed language, and coerces nearly everything. It normally calls `.valueOf()` (if it exists) and coerces the result to numbers for the comparison operators. Strong type checking has generally only been reserved for scenarios that can't be optimized well otherwise (like the length of typed arrays) or that require specific guarantees that coercion prevents (like uniqueness for weak collections). 3. TypeScript and Flow both literally don't have this issue at all, and several members of TC39 actively use these in mission-critical code. 4. JS has historically *avoided* keyword operators, electing to remain close-ish to its curly brace and punctuation-driven roots. Consider `=>`, `&&` and `||`, `function *`, etc. Up to date, the only keyword operators have been exclusively unary, such as `typeof`, `await`, and `yield`. So this would face a potentially steep slope to acceptance. Just a bit of pessimistic pragmatism here. ----- Isiah Meadows [email protected] On Fri, Apr 14, 2017 at 5:33 PM, doodad-js Admin <[email protected]> wrote: > I prefer the idea of keyword operators, like : > > > > a lt 1 // strict < 1 > > a lte 1 // strict <=1 > > a gt 1 // strict > 1 > > a gte 1 // strict >= 1 > > ... > > > > That’s easier to understand and memorize. > > > > From: Dawid Szlachta [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, April 14, 2017 5:12 AM > To: Jordan Harband <[email protected]> > Cc: es-discuss <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Re: Strict Relational Operators > > > > [...] > > > > The =@=@= operator is probably easier to add and won't break the web.
