F# – not on german keyboards

07Jun09

Whoever designed F# did certainly not have a german programmer in mind. Or how would you explain this

(* Print even fibs *)
[1 .. 10]
|> List.map     fib
|> List.filter  (fun n -> (n mod 2) = 0)
|> printlist

The pipe on a German Mac keyboard is <Alt> + <7>, which in itself ok; but directly followed by a ‘>’ – which is &ShiftAlt> + <the key right next to <shift> is absolute nightmare for anyone with delicate bones in the left wrist. RSS: you nearly got me, but I still prefer other functional languages.
