it seems that caml light has an #infix directive that would make any function infix
<pattern_>
ocaml does not seem to have that feature
<pattern_>
infix functions have to be called stupid things like "+" or "++" or "+++", etc
<stepcut>
i need to define a lot of infix operators, things will get confusing if they are all called stupid things
<stepcut>
:)
<pattern_>
i totally agree
<pattern_>
but i didn't write the language, i just use it :P
<pattern_>
:)
<stepcut>
in haskell, you can take any function, stick it between `backticks` and use it as infix
<pattern_>
makes perfect sense to me
<stepcut>
I thought ocaml might have something similar
<pattern_>
caml light did... but ocaml apparently does not
<stepcut>
hrm
<pattern_>
but i'm just a beginner, and am only passing on what others wiser than myself have told me on the topic
<pattern_>
so i could well be wrong
<stepcut>
well, I have not found anything different than you, and I looked....
<pattern_>
i feel your pain :)
<stepcut>
it hurrrrrts...
<pattern_>
hehe
<stepcut>
I like ocaml, but I find the ommisions interesting
<stepcut>
omittions?
<stepcut>
hrm, I have never spelled this word before
<pattern_>
ommisions, i think
<Riastradh>
Omissions.
<stepcut>
m-w.com agrees, omissions
<Riastradh>
Omit -> one m. emit <-> omit. Emission -> two 's's.
<pattern_>
at least that word wasn't omitted from the dictionary ;)
<pattern_>
ocaml's omissions don't bother me as much... since this is my first functional language the features it does have are keeping my hands quite full
<stepcut>
hehe
<stepcut>
I program in ocaml, haskell, and elisp. Its interesting to see the different paths you can go down
<stepcut>
the difference between static and dynamic typing, or pure functional vs functional w/side effects
<pattern_>
learning some of the other functional languages would be cool too
<stepcut>
i thing you mean "will be cool too" :p
<stepcut>
err, s/thing/think/ :)
<pattern_>
not if ocaml is my last language, as everyone says ;)
<stepcut>
hehe
<stepcut>
i like the haskell syntax a lot
<pattern_>
there was a thread on the ocaml list about adding a haskell syntax to ocaml
