Can .. be used instead #10

Closed kenchris closed 8 years ago

It looks more similar to . and Dart uses it as well.

Though it might be a problem with 1..toString()

zenparsing commented 9 years ago

Technically we could use "..", but I don't think it's visually distinct enough. We want it to look pleasing, but obviously different from property lookup.

.. more interesting as cascade operator (forced return this) like in Dart or LiveScript.

[2, 7, 1, 8]
  ..push(3)
  ..shift()
  ..sort(); // => [1,3,7,8]

Just remember that ... is the spread operator. Consider this:

[..other_fn_that_is_iterable]

vs

[...other_fn_that_is_iterable]

Would have loved to use & over either of these but since that one's out my vote's for sticking with ::

Too much potential for confusion and I'd prefer to see .. reserved for ranges 1..10

zenparsing commented 8 years ago

Agreed, let's stick with ::.
