One question I don't remember seeing resolved. Will we still be able to use the old data constructor syntax and (fully applied) type constructor syntax? These are used a good bit in the wild.

OK great, thanks.  Solo# is it.  Adding ghc-devs: would someone like to make a patch?

Argh. Not another color for the bikeshed. We were so close to a nice universal consensus given your +1 on the thread. =)

 

Let's end this and just go with Simon's Solo# as it had already achieved a reasonably wide consensus on the thread and we can put this to bed.

 

Simon: I'd replied a couple of weeks ago on the trac ticket to try to end this, but apparently didn't visibly weigh in in a fashion that obviously carried the full force of the committee.

My vote is for Single/Single#.

 

Also, in case there is any confusion around this, I was not a member of the CLC when this issue was originally raised, but the committee has accepted me since then.

Dear Libraries Committee

Some time ago Andrew Martin asked you what the name of the unary unboxed one-tuple type and data constructor should be.  The thread ran for a while, but you never came to a conclusion.

Can we nail this one?   You’ll see on Trac #14673 that chessai wants me to decide 😊.  But it should really be you.

To me, there seems to be something of a consensus around Solo#.

Simon

PS: actually I think Andrew may have addressed libraries@ rather than core-libraries-committee@ by mistake.
