Currently the way you do ranges (like, say, to create the list [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]) is this:
[ 1..5 ] This comes up super infrequently, and whenever it does, it's hard to Google for - when you want to know things like "can I use variables in there?" "is [1..5] going to give me 1,2,3,4,5 or 1,2,3,4?" etc. I'd rather drop this special syntax in favor of a simple function: List.range : number -> number -> List number It'd make for one less piece of syntax to learn, would simplify the compiler, and personally I'd find it more convenient to use than the special syntax. This way when I want to know how it works I can look it up in the List docs like normal! Thoughts? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
