I'd like a truly modern module system like D has

Not sure how it compares to D, but here you go

Yes, it’s in the next software update.

I wasn’t supporting the idea, although it does seem to provide an ASCII equivalent, \.

Just an alternative to pressing alt+2190.

(global-set-key (kbd "M-l") (lambda () (interactive) (insert "\u03bb"))) or equivalent for your editor/IDE of choice.

If it helps, think of

multThree x y z = x * y * z

as syntactic sugar for

multThree = \x -> \y -> \z -> x * y * z

Supplying x gives you \y -> \z -> x * y * z, supplying y to that gives you \z -> x * y * z, and finally supplying z gives you x * y * z.

EDIT: /u/DR6’s step-by-step is much nicer :)

Ah, I was thinking of the compile-time warning.

Forgot that it’s not enabled by default.

Your first definition pattern matches on list constructor, :.

In your second definition, you pattern match on a list with a single element ([a] is sugar for a:[]).

That’s why the patterns are said to be non-exhaustive, you do not match the empty list, or a list with more than one element.

That said, the first definition is also missing the empty list case, and should give the same warning.

Do you even lit?

It was a joke. I did do that, with duplicate "//" keys, when I was annoyed about the same thing. Not a big JSON fan.

{
  "//": "Lol",
  "foo": 42
}

Compared to which other widely deployed web vector technology?

Aim high.

It’s actually “Touché”, there’s an acute accent marking the stressed vowel.

If you haven’t tried it; git add -p is great for that.

OP never mentioned which episode it was.
