I’m immensely happy that we have a final proposal. I was a big fan of postfix sigils, especially foo()
~
, but I am sure everyone will adapt to foo().await
just fine.
I just find it amusing how different the preferences shown in the straw poll are from the final proposal. But this is well explained in this blog post: people want new features to stand out, because they are afraid of them. Instead, their syntax should resemble Christopher Alexander’s buildings: perfectly normal and completely “in place”.
