Re: [Haskell-cafe] Call to arms: lambda-case is stuck and needs your help

Personally I don't see why everyone appears to prefer the syntax with \ in it over just the obvious case section syntax which was originally proposed. case of { ... } looks much better to me than \case of { ... } and the former makes sense to me as a simple extension of operator sections to another part of the syntax. Does anyone else agree? On 6 July 2012 20:40, Chris Smith wrote:

Whoops, my earlier answer forgot to copy mailing lists... I would love to see \of, but I really don't think this is important enough to make case sometimes introduce layout and other times not. If it's going to obfuscate the lexical syntax like that, I'd rather just stick with \x->case x of.

Hi.

After 21 months of occasional arguing the lambda-case proposal(s) is in danger of being buried under its own trac ticket comments. We need fresh blood to finally reach an agreement on the syntax. Read the wiki page[1], take a look at the ticket[2], vote and comment on the proposals!

+1 for "\ of" multi-clause lambdas

It looks like binding "of" to me, which it ain't, but it is nicely brief...
