preprocess / pre-short-closures Goto Github PK

I noticed that in your most recent macro, you are using ~> as the symbol for short closures. I am interested in the reason behind this choice. Is it for technically reasons, as it may be difficult or impossible to just use => as symbol? Or could it be that you are anticipating that PHP will be using ~> for its own short closure implementation in future, so it is an attempt to be consistent with the language itself? Just curious.

Is it possible to edit/add a macro that parses a arrow function that omit's the accolades?
ie.

($t, $k, $v) => { return str_replace("{" . $k . "}", $v, $t ); }

would become

($t, $k, $v) => str_replace("{" . $k . "}", $v, $t )

and when there is only one parameter the ( and ) can be omited, i.e.

$key => str_replace(' ', '', $key)

It seems that short closure without braces aint working for me. This code cannot be compiled into the correct syntax in PHP:

$result = array_map($x ~> $x * 2 * ++$y, range(1, 10));

Instead it has parse error: 'syntax error, unexpected '~', expecting ',' or ')''. Apparently the issue is with expression() identifier which doesnt seem to work, its a bug with Yay library. I wonder if you have a workaround for this issue, or we may have to wait a response from marcioAlmada to fix Yay. Or if you dont have the same problem as I do, lemme know too.
