Re: [Haskell-cafe] If you'd design a Haskell-like language, what would you do different?

Quoth Hans Aberg, ...

For example, I set one entry so that typing x |-> a becomes x ↦ a, the TeX \mapsto, in Unicode ↦ RIGHTWARDS ARROW FROM BAR U+21A6.

It might be tedious to make a lot of entries, though, but something to start with.

Something to finish me with, too. I wouldn't be able to do much in a programming world that used glyphs like that. My vision isn't perfect, but I think it's within a fairly normal range, and it isn't good enough to decode a lot of hieroglyphics at normal font size at reading speed. The ASCII limit of 100 or so normal characters may be a barrier to expression, but it's a boost to comprehension. Donn
