Indeed. The difficult question is, what would the syntax be?
What about the simper:
x.dot(y)
I don't like symmetric operations with an asymmetric syntax.
Better: dot(x, y)
Even better: dot_product(x, y)
Funner: sum(x .* y)
Weirder:
x · y
I vote obscure unicode character \u2743: heavy chevron snowflake
x ❆ y
or why not: x ♣ y;
no wait that would delete y and assign x to it.
Before we solve the difficult problem of naming the thing could we first
go through the trivial part of optimizing it under its current name.
