On a related note, if there isn't already, it would be nice to have a
page in the wiki that gives good ways of vocalizing the operators and
vocalizing them in simple code snippets. I might get round to doing
this sometime, maybe just a table something like this :
Got idea, please go ahead! I suggest categories "Style" or "Syntax".
Operator Formal Informal
-------- ------ --------
:: has type
-> maps to to
example
f :: Int -> Int f has type Int to Int
Is a symbol-by-symbol translation sensible? What about "f maps from Int to
Int", "plus maps Int to a function, which maps Int to Int"
Thank you. I've put a primitive page up here
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Pronunciation
under category syntax. Obviously it needs more work, but maybe it
will act as a bit of grit in the oyster.
Richard.
