You may be stuck with your IDE:

  JavaScript: fu<tab><shift-)>
    function(){
      <cursor>
    }

  Python: la<tab>:

The remaining characters should be filled in by most modern IDE / IDE plugins.

Those are both still more work than ->, and you could make a shortcut for the arrow as well if it's so difficult. Anyway, my point is that I don't see why the arrow should give anyone with a normal keyboard layout an inordinate amount of trouble compared to similar constructs in other languages.
