OK I back up. I justed wanted it to happen for a moment :) You're right, ambiguity in parsing and a lot of whitespace-dependency are things to avoid. Best, On 4 June 2010 14:25, Ketil Malde <ketil@malde.org> wrote:

Then people would need to put spaces between those things, right? What a horrible consequence!
I like to think that Haskell is a language where aesthetics matter. So, in my opinion this is indeed a horrible consequence.
I find mixing of symbols and letters in identfiers to be in itself aesthetically inferior, and there's already more than enough whitespace-dependent parsing warts in Haskell.
