Some notes for beginners on how to pronounce those strange Haskell operators etc.
This is just a rough start to this page. Obviously needs more work.
This can be a table with formal and informal ways of saying various operators and code snippets such as
-> maps to, to
-<
= equals
=> is a witness for, implies
. dot (could be used anywhere, but especially in, for example, Data.Char.ord), ring, compose (for example, negate . (+1)), (silent) (for example, forall a. (Num a) => a)
<- drawn from, from
++ append
+++
>>= bind
>>
f :: Int -> Int f has type Int to Int
\ lambda
should we add informal, possibly bad suggestions like "then", "is", "gets"?
