I would have to agree with Mark on this one. I have yet to find anything compelling for an exponentiation operator. I know multiple things that would be more interesting, such as the proposed bind operator.
Several languages have it, but I don't think "it's in several other languages, so it has to be in this language" is enough to merit an addition to the language. And in my honest opinion, it doesn't look nice, either. On Tue, Aug 25, 2015, 18:43 Mark S. Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > When the costs were minor, it was ok that the benefits were minor.
