I noticed the same thing, I don't see anything remotely resembling a consensus in the votes.
yes, this is concering. I wondered about putting C1 for the good reason that there obviously is not a good solution. But then I decided to put trust in the voting system, i.e. if an option will beat C1 by a majority, then that option hopefully is better than rejecting.
Just out of curiousity Joachim, does the Schulze method have any metric of how close or far from a consensus the votes are? If so, I'd be very interested to see what it says about the votes here.
No hard metric, but we will see how “close” the winner will beat each other option.
Let me also take a moment to explain why I voted for C4 as my first choice, since it seems to be particularly polarizing. The two factors that pushed me to favor C4 are its simplicity and its consistency with the rest of Haskell's record syntax.
After making my score, I noticed that the three options I put before C1 are precisely the three options that (I belive) are “simple and consistent”, and which could be explained by a short “just like” reference to an existing language feature: * C4: Just like record construction/update * C5: Just like function application * C2a: Just like module-qualified names. Ah, I see Iavor has more or less the same. It always feels good to not have a solitary opinion. Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/
