Me too, but is it really worth breaking language consistency for something that can be done as a library? Just xs = stripPrefix "prefix" On Mon, Jun 28, 2021 at 08:22:00PM +0200, Jaro Reinders wrote:
I have definitely wanted this for strings:
"prefix" ++ xs = string
Is much better than:
'p' : 'r' : 'e' : 'f' : 'i' : 'x' : xs = string

how so? `x : y : z : zs`
I don’t mind the existing either, but it would be interesting if this worked:
[x, y, z] ++ zs = list
It is far from clear why this or any similar pattern would be more ergonomic than:
x : y : z : zs
