Pronunciation

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

Symbol	Pronounciation
->	maps to, to
=	is
==	equals
/=	not-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
>>	then
\	lambda
!	bang; strict (in patterns or data definitions); index (in expressions)
:	cons
[]	nil
()	unit
(,)	2-tuple, pair
(a,b,c)	[3-]tuple [of] a, b, and c

Example	Pronounciation
f :: Int -> Int	f has type Int to Int

should we add informal, possibly bad suggestions like "then", "is", "gets"?
