Suggestions: Functions declarations

[btwael]

by Hector Virgen on Google+ Very cool! Two suggestions:

Using = to declare functions makes it look too much like the function is being assigned to a variable. You may want to try a different syntax, e.g.:

square: (x) -> return x * x

Or more simply, use -> as a hint that a function is being defined:

square(x) -> return x * x

Additionally, you can borrow some ideas from coffescript and ruby by automatically returning the last statement:

square(x) -> x * x

I believe your idea of a php preprocessor has a lot of potential. Php syntax, although C-like, is pretty terrible for rapid development. Something like Mammouth can really clean things up.

I agree, especially since functions can be assigned to variables in php:

$square = function($x) {
    return $x * $x;
};

echo $square(2);
