change lambda syntax from -> to =>

Description

Please consider changing the lambda syntax from -> to =>. I understand that there is plenty of precedent for -> in other langs, but the primary other language that CFML developers work with is JavaScript and its new lambda syntax uses =>. As someone who goes back and forth between the two languages constantly it would greatly reduce friction.

+1, happy to support this change.

I can see the arguments for matching JS syntax (even tho' I work more with languages that use ->). Micha's right that we should pick one syntax and JS makes more sense for CFML / Lucee.

Go the JS way!

NB / FYI: I have requested same functionality for ColdFusion (12?): https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=4020372

I have recommended to them they just implement it the way JS has.
