Yes, you will come across it if its added. I find the Javascript syntax confusing to read as well. However more importantly I do not see the point in adding this sugar to save 5 chars.

Nested arrays become very unreadable with the current PHP syntax. I think killing those 5 chars per array would actually make thing more readable.

I don't find:

$a = [1 => ['pears', 'apples'], 2 => ['juice', 'oranges']];

any less readable than:

$a = array(1 => array('pears', 'apples'), 2 => array('juice', 'oranges'));

Quite the opposite actually :)

Me too - I go beyond Edin on this one, as I find the array() version actually
quite UNreadable and I have difficulty picking out what the individual arrays
are; conversely, the [] version I take in at a glance.

Cheers!
