Currently, if you want to add spec to functions, you have to use @spec with a function name to define all argument / response types:
defmodule StringHelpers do @spec long_word?(word()) :: boolean() def long_word?(word) when is_binary(word) do String.length(word) > 8 end end I think, it would be nice to reduce "visual noise" of spec definition by allowing to omit the data we already know. defmodule StringHelpers do @spec word() :: boolean() def long_word?(word) when is_binary(word) do String.length(word) > 8 end end With this syntax, we can define argument and response types and automatically treat it as spec for following long_word?/1 function. What do you think? Also, in case of multiple arguments we can either wrap it in parentheses or just use a comma for separation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
