I really like the idea of having more unicode in the language, but I feel
these should be fairly limited.
There are times I feel that more operators (especially, as has been
mentioned, opCross and opDotProduct) would be nice to have, but it's just
sugar, really.
As an example, while I'd enjoy seeing code like this, I'm not sure I'd
enjoy writing it (Note that I am prone to exaggerations):
int a = ∅; //empty set, same as "= void"
int[] b = [1,2,3,4,5,6];
a = readInt();
if (a ∈ b) // Element of - "in"
{
float c = 2.00001;
float d = readInt();
writefln(c ≈ ⌈d⌉ ); // Approximately equal, ceil
myClass c = getInstance();
if (∃c) // c exists, i.e. "!is null"
{
writefln(√(c.foo)); // I thought this should work in D today, using
"alias sqrt √;", but it seems the compiler chokes on it. :(
}
∀element∈b // New foreach syntax!
{
element *= ¼;
}
}
