Hi, I am in the process of learning Elixir, and let me first say I am
astounded at how polished the language and build tools are. A grand
applause is well deserved to everyone who has helped Elixir get this far!
I have only a minor suggestion. It seems to be easy to do, so here it goes.
The `with` clause is excellent. This works, for example:
msg =
with {:ok, data} <- read_line(socket),
{:ok, command} <- KVServer.Command.parse(data)
do
KVServer.Command.run(command)
end
However, I'd like to write it in this style, in effort to reduce line width
(and, IMO, increase readability):
msg =
with \
{:ok, data} <- read_line(socket),
{:ok, command} <- KVServer.Command.parse(data)
do
KVServer.Command.run(command)
end
But, as you can see, I need to add a backslash after the `with` keyword for
it to compile.
Is there a technical reason for the backslash requirement? Or could perhaps
Elixir be updated to support this style of formatting, without the
backslash? :)
I am using Elixir 1.3.2
Thanks for reading,
Gilbert
