I'm changing method definition syntax in my language: // old fun (this: Int) inc(): Int { this + 1 } // new method inc(this: Int): Int { this + 1 } The original syntax was inspired by Go, but the new syntax is more grep-friendly and perhaps more readable. Not sure about the verbosity though. Thoughts?
