Syntax poll

[Pavel Minaev]

Since the cat is out of the bag already, I feel the need to correct the
below (I did so privately to Brian, but it seems that the new poll has
quoted the old descriptions verbatim with no changes).

BGGA syntax is used by Groovy. It's not used by Scala - the latter uses
Redmond syntax pretty much exactly as in C#, except that "type name" becomes
"name: type" in parameter declarations with non-inferred types
(corresponding to general Scala syntax). Here are some Scala lambdas:

(x: Int, y: Int) => x + y
(x, y) => x + y // inferred types
x => x + 1 // can omit parens for unary lambda with unary types
() => { println("hello"); println("word"); }
