Is there a reason for closing the issue without even giving a comment?
I closed the issue because you were commenting on the coding style rather than reporting a defect.
Polymaps is not being actively maintained by anyone at the moment. I may take another look at slippy maps in conjunction with D3 (read this thread), but I don't know when.
Re. the style: While you are right that it does risk being misread, it's also valid JavaScript, correct, and shorter than writing it some other way. Occasionally I like to write code as concisely as possible, sometimes at the expense of readability simply because it is fun. You may disagree with that for good reason—taken too far, it's a bad habit. But within reason, it's also good to have JavaScript libraries as small and fast as possible.
There is an assignment used as a condition at https://github.com/simplegeo/polymaps/blob/master/src/Cache.js#L15 which might cause hard to spot syntax issues.
