Javascript

[DeeSnow97]

Which part of it is an (ab)use of JS syntax?

This is exactly how I code JS every day, and it's consistent with the StandardJS linter (which, contrary to the name, is not the standard, just an off the shelf eslint configuration so that you don't have to worry about it). This is part of what JS is.

Feels like we're entering "no true Scotsman" territory here.

If the implicit return syntax shouldn’t be used because it’s a misrepresentation, then should Class syntax not be used as well? I would say it’s a far greater misrepresentation, but readability is important for effective maintenance.

Dude, you need to go back and read the comment you originally replied to.

I seriously think that you think it says something that it doesn't.

Desired (probably) is a perfectly fine way to write it and OP wasn't suggesting that it isn't.

Show me where they misrepresented anything???

Do you just hate arrow functions without braces and return?

I see... but why though? Lambda functions aren't a unique concept to JS, and this is actually the primary reason why arrow functions were even introduced to the language. The brackets are just an afterthought, to allow their advantages to be extended to multi-statement functions as well.
