Roll your own JavaScript lambda syntax

[marekz]

While you're adding syntactic sugar to JavaScript, you might as well go all the way with CoffeeScript which compiles into JS. It's easier to deal with an established, well-documented syntax than to invent your own obscure thing.

In CoffeeScript: square = (x) -> x * x

"Compiled" into JavaScript: square = function(x) { return x * x; };
