Sad given that reduce is probably the single most important operation in parallel programming. My thoughts exactly, even though it was partly me that pointed out the breaking changes... I still think we should add fold[lr]? just to fix the ordering.

Curses, if no-one had pointed out it was breaking maybe no-one would have noticed, and just made the change? > I still think we should add fold[lr]? just to fix the ordering. Whatever happens in std.algorithm must also happen in std.parallelism. reduce in std.parallelism was constructed to be in harmony with std.algorithm and not UFCS. -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

In which case the reduce parameter list is wrong, this is a bug and should be fixed.
