Postfix Notation #44

Open keean opened 5 years ago

keean commented 5 years ago

If IDE tooling, and autocomplete is so important, should functional languages use postfix notation?

((3, 4)add)print

In a way the . is used for this in most OO languages, but with multiple-dispatch, which arguments go before and which after the function name? Perhaps this syntax is more readable?

(3, 4).add.print

Dot notation as syntax sugar only.

First argument is always the the one applied by dot notation.
