10		Aleksei Magusev	X
11		Robert Virding			Asked about interspersing field puns and normal key values being messy.
12		Dmitry Aleksandrov			Asked whether variable name being meaningful was a problem.
13		Ramon Snir			Mentioned SML also has the feature
14		Vincent Siliakus			Mentions previous discussion
15		Josh Adams		X	Concerned variable names being meaningful will cause problems. Worried about magic.
16		Peter Hamilton		X	Sees it as useful, but thinks it should be done as a macro.
17		Andrea Leopardi		X	Sees it would shorten code, but worried it is too implicit. Implemented short_maps ~m. https://github.com/whatyouhide/short_maps
18		Drew Olson		X	Prefers explicit
19		Saša Jurić	X (Above)		Argues it's not implicit and improves readability
20		Bruce Tate	X		Wants for string keys
21		José Valim			Expressed concern about atom and string keys being confused
22		Eric Meadows-Jönsson			Suggested improvements to short_maps
23		Johan Wärlander			Substantially expanded short_maps with additional features
24		Jaap Frolich	X
25		Hassan Zamani	X		Built a macro to do something similar: https://github.com/hzamani/synex
26		OvermindDL1			Would want version included in Elixir to be more feature complete and consistent than current implementations
27		Wiebe-Marten Wijnja	X

38		José Valim		X (Above)	Concern around similarity to tuples. Concern about map creates and updates. Concern about string vs atom keys.
39		Martin Svalin			Mentions previous discussions
40		Justin Wood	X		Mentions Haskell, OCaml, and Rust support it. Wants only for structs.
41		Parker Selbert			Mentions OCaml and Rust
42		Andrew Timberlake			Mentions library written to provide similar functionality https://hex.pm/packages/shorthand
43		Allen Madsen	X		Argues against a particular syntax proposed. Suggests a prefix operator.
44		Kelvin Raffael Stinghen	X		Suggests pulling short_maps into core
45		Dmitry Belyaev	X		Argues to use original proposal
46		boris kotov	X		Suggests using tuple to wrap field puns %{{foo, bar}, baz: 1}
47		Connor Rigby	X		Suggests supporting structs as well
48		Christopher Keele	X		Asks clarifying question about something that would meet José's constraints
49		Yevhenii Kurtov		X	Concern about confusion. Concerned clarity of atom vs string keys.
50		Amos King	X
