Virtually everyone agrees `=>` is a much clearer delimiter/separator. `in` is too textual and not easy enough to distinguish from following code.
Also, other languages (e.g. C#) have no problem with the `=>` symbol, as anyone with even a little experience programming knows greater-than-or-equal to is `>=`. However, if we adopt the new function type specifier syntax (replacing `->` with `:` for the return type), then `->` could be used in place of the `in` keyword, to make you happier. > On 23 Dec 2015, at 04:11, Ricardo Parada <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I think "in" is slightly easier to type in than "=>". > The => may be interpreted as equal or greater than. > > > On Dec 22, 2015, at 9:52 PM, Andrey Tarantsov via swift-evolution > <[email protected]> wrote: > >>> And yes, I certainly would prefer `=>` rather than `in`. >> >> It seems like the community can actually agree on this. >> >> Does anyone know if it has any parsing problems / grammar implications right >> now? _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
