Clearly, we need to be rid of variable shadowing, then all that remains is subjective readability which can be addressed with generic annotations or tooling (syntax highlighting, linting etc). Other scoping improvements can be made as well. The pinning operator opens the door for rebinding variables at a later date. And that is a fundamental language change.</div> <div> </div> <div>This is all rehashing everything that was said the last time around. And because the EEP process does not provide a mechanism for capturing feedback and iterating to a conclusion, this repeated discussion is not beneficial.</div> <div> </div> <div>Regards,</div> <div>Chris</div></div></body></html>
