Thank you for your reply. Something could be said for the creation of rational numbers being an 'alternative mathematical division', and using </> in the future. But of course that is not possible in Elixir today, so it is not something that could be migrated towards right now.
Maybe the best way forward is to rely less on the operator (any particular operator for that matter) for the construction of structs (nor for the `Inspect` implementation). Again, thank you. ~Marten / Qqwy On Friday, September 30, 2022 at 12:06:58 PM UTC+2 José Valim wrote: > Our goal, at the moment, is to introduce <*>, </>, <+>, <-> which could be > used by projects which need to provide alternative mathematical operations. > In this case, <|> would look out of place, because it would resemble one of > such operators, but it is not.
