(e.g. shorter code) automatically equals simpler to understand.
In my opinion, this syntax adds more confusion for a number of reasons:
- As Andrea mentioned, including type definitions in the function header
very likely

Other responses have addressed various aspects of your proposal, including:
- maintaining stability in this version of Elixir
- ways to get the proposed behavior using a macro

Hi Andrea, thank you for your response.
Understood. It was just a suggestion, which in my humble opinion would get rid
of duplication in the source code and eliminate obvious derived maintenance
burden thereof.
Simplification like this pays off in the long run, but causes obvious
disruption
Hey Fridrik,
this might improve the language for some and it might not improve it for
others, but that's not the most important point. Introducing features like
this (that are supposed to have a noticeable impact) to the language is
something that try be careful about. One focus of Elixir is to
Hi Louis
Thanks for your reply, but I was more thinking of the benefits of having
