Subject: [ruby-core:54759] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8361] Alternative syntax for block parameter


Issue #8361 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


It's unacceptable to distinguish two semantics of "[ ]" by a token following *after* it.

Feature #8361: Alternative syntax for block parameter

=begin
I propose an alternative syntax for block parameters:

  p = lambda [x] {
    # do whatever you like with x here, but be sure to return the result
  }

instead of

  p = lambda { |x|
    # ...
  }

This would be consistent with the syntax of procedure call: (({p[a]})).

Also, compare:

  a_bunch.each [element] do
    # ...
  end

with:

  a_bunch.each do |element|
    # ...
  end

=end
