C syntax is awful. So much crap just to call a function. a(b, c);

in some languages it's just a b c (Haskell)



Blasphemy! Languages can only be criticized for not looking like C, and if they actually are C, they can only be criticized for using pointers and allowing memory management.

Downvoted to oblivion.


if i see:

a b c

1 2 3

g a b

what is that? sudoku? complete the phrase? too little syntax.. it doesnt say what it does..

besides f(x) is is math for centuries ;)


a(b)(c) which is then curried to a(b, c) if a is a function that takes two arguments

(1)(2)(3) since they are literals it's probably an argument list to a function, but not valid by itself

g(a)(b) etc.

remember, in Haskell pretty much everything is a function
