Changes like this I think make sense if it is part of a more general effort - i.e 'Elm is going to be known as the language with proper function names"i.e it sounds like a BDFL call. Has that every been stated by Evan or is it just something that appears to be in the same line of thinking as removing primes etc?
Not saying it's a bad idea BTW - especially since some people new to Elm won't be familiar with the terse style functions you see commonly in FP languages -'foldr' 'cons' etc if they haven't used one of those languages On Thursday, 20 October 2016 15:12:57 UTC+1, Robin Heggelund Hansen wrote: > > In Elm 0.18, primes are being removed as valid characters in a > variable/function name.
