Hello there.

I am new in Fantom.

I just want know is Fantom support named arguments for functions like Python?

Or maybe it is realized in different way?

I think Python named arguments is very useful ability.

Ruby's way:

def image(opt={})   
  default_opt = {:height => 25, :width => 10}   
  default_opt.merge! opt
end

There is no language support for named parameters. However, the work around is similar to the Ruby example above using a Map literals:

Void doIt(Str req, Str:Obj opts := [:]) { ... }


doIt("required", ["something":3, "another":true])
