I wish Kotlin had support for custom operators like F# lol.

What are you looking for beyond infix functions?

It's cool being able to have custom operators that support monad transformations. Or I guess at least

flatMap

I built my own parser combinator library in Kotlin and using infix functions like

_AND  _AND_  AND_

vs

.>>  .>>.  >>.

is not as nice and can get verbose.

I wish I could understand hieroglyph 🗿

I actually think it encourages the creation of nonsense APIs. for libs, leading to less discoverable libraries i.e. you can’t google for documentation on the scala

++=-

function. And even if you could, isn’t a function that imparts some semblance of what it does actually better? With a lot of this stuff, less is more.

@spierce7 When you stumble across this function first time, maybe it looks mystical. But when it is a part of a library with nice algebraic design you start writing this as a breeze. My suggestion would be to always provide some kind of real name and apply custom operator only via some kind of annotation
