They claim that it's not what others are doing, but coffeescript is doing it, and it's quite possible that ECMAScript will get it in the future.

Haskell does it, apparently choosing \x -> y from Miranda's type signatures over ML's fn x => y. Of course, Haskell proceeds to x <- y -< z and then starts to go a bit peculiar.
