[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE slot-lambda

[ducis]

Thanks. [s|_0 + _1|] = \x y->x+y is supported. I simply like [s|_+_|] better personally. And [s|_+_ı|] is for \x->x+x. I have to admit that 'ı' character is not very recognizable though. Any suggestions of another 'Letter, Lowercase' unicode character that no one would use as a variable name and can be easily input in vim are welcome.

In order to give a more constructive feedback, why not simply indexing arguments by position and use the `_N` syntax?


The second example would be:

_0 : _1 : _1 : _2 : _2 : _2 : _0 : []
One could just use `_` if there is only one arg:
_ + _ (which mean what Kim thought it would mean)
and use:
_0 + _1 (for the case you wanted to support)
Cheers

I just want to add that I find the syntax extremely confusing and counter intuitive.


I thought it was just me, or that I was missed something. But it looks like I'm not the only one.

It lets your write lambdas with 'slots' without inventing names for the parameters.

[s| ı + ı |]  =  \x y -> x+y


I have no background in this 'slot lambda' and a search reveals this package as the only hit.


Which may explain why I find the example given confusing. Why would [s| 1+1 |] not be equivalent to \x->x+x ?
