// Prototypical ideas for syntax improvements

// Range loops
for x in [1..10] {
  console.log x
}

// List comprehensions
const evens = [x * 2 for x in [1..100] if x % 2 == 0]

// Pattern matching
match value {
  case 0 => "zero"
  case 1..10 => "small"
  case n if n > 100 => "large"
  case _ => "medium"
}

// Pipeline operators
const result = data 
  |> filter(x => x > 0)
  |> map(x => x * 2)
  |> reduce((a, b) => a + b)

// Guard clauses
guard user.isValid else throw "Invalid user"

// Async do notation
const data = do {
  user <- await fetchUser()
  posts <- await fetchPosts(user.id)
  return { user, posts }
}

// Object spread pattern matching
const {x, y, ...rest} := point

// Optional chaining existential operators with defaults
const name = user?.profile?.name ?? "Anonymous"
