I Had that reaction at first also, however I don't mind so much now cause you do see map2 appear in other core packages (e.g Task), so the change must be for consistency. Much as I dislike function names with numbers in them like 'map2', 'zip' doesn't work well everywhere.
In other words, it seems value has been put on function names being consistently 'meh' rather than peculiar and descriptive. I guess it depends if you are one of those people who can remember loads of different function names or not! On Wednesday, 25 March 2015 11:23:45 UTC, Luis G.
