Subject: OCaml infix function-composition
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 1998 11:26:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199810021026.LAA27738@byrd.sharp.co.uk> (raw)
Dear caml-list,
We are in the process of converting our Caml code into OCaml, and
have a problem choosing an infix syntax for function composition
(right to left, as in (fun f g x -> f (g x))). Previously we used "o"
for this, but I believe we cannot make "o" an infix operator in
OCaml, nor ".", which was our second choice. We are considering "<<"
and "$" now.
What do other OCaml people use for function composition? Is there a
standard emerging? If we choose an operator, how can we be sure that
our selection won't be upset by the next version of OCaml?
Thanks
