Y'know what? I gotta learn Kotlin. A single glance to it rendered it to seem better than C#.

oh huh GHC has or patterns now
cool
why on earth they use ; is beyond me, but hey, rather have them than not
oh, | is taken for guards isn't it

Yeah, this is actually a really big problem with extending Haskell lol, all the symbols are already taken and it’s not really a language that easily admits just shoving keywords in instead
I think in some ways the syntax is legitimately a little too perfect because it makes it impossible to add anything new to the language

@AlexisKing perfect might be stretching it, but I get where you're coming from haha
it's one thing to do language development where you control everything; it's another entirely to work on something big and old and established
speaking of: bag delimiters for type arguments 
fun foo ⟅a b c⟆ (x: a) (y: b) (z: c) = ...
it's horrible and I like it

@blueberry opinion of dubious popularity: bag delimiters look reversed to me
like, i get that "bag" implies that they should look like a bag drawing
but i guess i'm used to seeing ∫ at the beginning of things

Q: What design choices inform whether a whole-program optimizing compiler is possible?

aproposWhat design restrictions inform a language having / having a useful whole-program optimizing compiler? I'm aware that Standard ML has a whole-program optimizing compiler implementation in MLton. I have heard that this is an impressive feat of engineering, and I have heard that the ability to do t...

@RubenVerg hm, so you would want like 
fun foo ⟆a b c⟅ (x: a) (y: b) (z: c) = ...
i don't like that, but you do you
@UnrelatedString i mean, with appropriate built-in editor config, they wouldn't be
you could rig emacs up to type these with \[ and \] really easily
and I have to imagine the same is true for vscode or whatever

But the real question is, do they monospace correctly?
