This is more or less the same argument as what I stated in a previous post: the issue is a different, incompatible, format for func defs, compared to ordinary expression. The possible name prefixing the definition breaks the pattern. More precisely, "def" (or "function"/"method") should come just before the parameter list to allow a func def be used like any other expression.
This won't change... but what about an alternative, like in Lua?
