-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I see this come up every now and again, and now, like always, I'm at a strong -1. First of all, I don't like magic built-in stuff. And this certainly is just that. It requires a higher precedence than you can possibly give in regular code, and it is an exception to how all other operators work with regards to requiring no spaces (note that this is different to "not requiring spaces") -- this is reserved for module namespaces per now. Furthermore, it's confusingly similar to regular functional composition. Second of all, we already have `x & f = f x`. Lastly, (and I don't want to argue this one too strongly) it is another thing like `return`, that makes imperative/OOP programmers confused. Semi-related, I'd be interested in proposing the inclusion of a new fixity level, 10, that was never used by base. *I* would certainly find it useful every now and again. - -- Alexander alexander@plaimi.net https://secure.plaimi.net/~alexander -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJWOeOgAAoJENQqWdRUGk8B8PMQANQgXECx+FiFu5hpFGu1VAQ/ AUeLaDL9ZTdksRp17qxt59FQuieJ2Lx0fSCBjMYT1ZWvqivU9CRzlaJuHMcSpDen a3Te7aYBqpaUCRAfKrIjkx7HRneW/0ckkeyP9r3rxIOeTPdXMtqVoqmVzkuHUgKk 0N9+H2li6BirLj/w77y/x3+y2yK+rXuiCMFhZOp/frqhBo5uWQhM4fY5LAi5dcln lT8pjAWjjnBtyYIsZTFrKSF1GhEE/oAYr4C9EvL56yKNkuXBcbaaUNpwqnDEXVAW kcsAagiCCnfIC2ex/U7uyMixRGdV4ph853BP/8Rk6MG4WufJHNkV8glmDNjvI+5E H93PydpNtZwldCTawvidYPFQC1MO03HqThaND3wE5/zwjoiu4pdmx8oX5ZdYlmlx e7hUmr+trbVLi9cv/cBF6ewvtLQX0rLPljx0GuDawhTc17f+KK6WpmiOeCZcN9EF S4QA+9cB0Zxu2lwqu6s1wT9ss2Zt7DXlO/DDwV218+oCI+lKs1LdUEVDJptH8pbF XYr5K54jwfe5PxVHuZz6OwRbg/DtxEvynBljMuiFK2Fddf1W4TjZGFl3iT4x8LYk twD0hXwXpftH9Ew4JSli1XS//oqJ8auegP9mm6BhwscXbG/QuYpz1mqIrleY3+p0 2w8+2gu1JfQWUuQEXc2H =T3c6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
