Re: [Haskell-cafe] Line noise

Quoth Andrew Coppin : ... | As one experienced C++ programmer put it, "there is no clear flow from | left to right or right to left". Personally I found that a little ironic | comming from the language that gave us | | while (*x++ = *y++) { } | | which is every bit as non-linear! ;-) Well, to be precise, C++ got that from C. What C++ adds to it: fy(a.fx(b), c) (in Haskell, fy (fx a b) c) I wouldn't worry too much about one letter identifiers and so forth. Many programmers will secretly be rather attracted to this kind of thing. Donn Cave, donn@avvanta.com
