Update uiuisms #480

Closed ariymarkowitz closed 4 months ago

ariymarkowitz commented 4 months ago

I think that ∵⋕ is a nicer pattern than -@0, it's immediately clear what it does and is shorter. It also verifies that the user actually input a number.

For the Fibonacci number uiuism, it's a small change but I think :⟜+ is a bit easier to read than +⟜:, since there's less nested stack manipulation.

For converting a string of digits to an array of those digits, -@0 is much faster than ∵⋕. Character arithmetic is meant to be part of one's Uiua repertoire. ⟜: is an established pattern I want to promote as the primary way of doing the transformation AB -> ABA, so +⟜: is preferred. In the future, if by ⊸ is stabilized, there may be cases where ⊸+: is preferred. I'll update that Fibonacci example to be what I would consider more idiomatic though. Thank you for this contribution! I'm going to reject this though.
