Re: [Haskell-cafe] Looking for a paper [Dijkstra-Dot]

This is one of the notational issues where I venture to disagree with the Master. It's on a par with arguing that a number like 1234 would be easier to read as 1`2`3`4 where the semantics of x`y is x*10+y.

Thanks Richard, and more to the point/dot: If dot means function application then `3.14` must be `3` applied to `14`. Or perhaps the Master expects Floats to be written European-style with commas? Good luck with that in Haskell. Let's also use Euro-style space as thousands separator! Or perhaps Dijkstra as more mathematician doesn't dirty his hands with Floats. Meta: all the above is tongue-in-cheek. AntC
