New syntax for arguments proposal #1044

Open askucher opened 6 years ago

askucher commented 6 years ago

Currently we have 

func = (arg1, arg2, arg3)-->
   ....

or

func = (arg1) -> (arg2, arg3)-->
   ....

I think it is good to have 

func = (arg1 | arg2, arg3)-->
   ....
hmaurer commented 6 years ago

I think it would also be good to have

func = (arg{1..3})-->
 ...

Like the range syntax in Haskell, to avoid having to write arg1, arg2, arg3. It's a waste of characters methinks.

@hmaurer, if this is a serious proposal, would you create a new issue for it please? (Also, do you know about &0, &1, etc.?)

hmaurer commented 6 years ago

@rhendric Sorry, I was trolling 🙄

rhendric commented 6 years ago

:dart: You got me!

(For the future, though, please don't; given the quality of ideas that get proposed around here sometimes, I kind of have to assume that they're all sincere.)

I don't understand what is the objective of this proposal. Is for currying some arguments ?
