Closed waneck closed 11 years ago

[Google Issue #1379 : http://code.google.com/haxe/issues/detail?id=1379] by back2dos@gmail.com, at 2013-01-14T11:44:53.000Z Could we allow these:

 {
      @foo;//EMeta({ name: 'foo' }, null);
      bar @foo;//EMeta({ name: 'foo' }, EConst(CIdent('bar')));

}

When creating EDSLs with metadata, the former makes it easier to be consistent and the latter would allow to create a more fluid and readable syntax in some cases.

[comment from ncanna...@gmail.com, published at 2013-01-14T11:53:32.000Z] @meta is an defined as an annotation, which can be used before a field, type, or expression.

I think this would create too much alternative syntax, drifting too much from the Haxe core syntax.
