A good, comprehensive design has the potential to make tuples
easy to use and understand, and hopefully clear up the
unpleasant situation we have currently. A summary of what has
been discussed so far:
- (a, b) is the prettiest syntax, and it also completely
infeasible
- {a, b} is not as pretty, but it's not that bad of an
alternative (though it may still have issues as well)
- #(a, b) is unambiguous and would probably be the easiest
option. I don't think it looks too bad, but some people might
find it ugly and noisy
What about:
!!(a, b)
? Yes, is long, but is type-able quite fast.
Alternative would be:
??(a, b)
.
