| 2026-03-04 01:01:35 +0100 | <chromoblob> | cool... |
| 2026-03-04 01:01:33 +0100 | <EvanR> | are supposed to look like xD |
| 2026-03-04 01:01:28 +0100 | <lambdabot> | -6 |
| 2026-03-04 01:01:27 +0100 | <chromoblob> | > let x ☉ y = -(x * y) in 2 ☉ 3 |
| 2026-03-04 01:01:23 +0100 | <EvanR> | it's fine because obviously variables like x y and z |
| 2026-03-04 01:01:17 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it's kinda stuck without constructors |

| 2026-03-04 01:00:55 +0100 | <EvanR> | but then I guess chinese would be stuck without variables |

| 2026-03-04 00:59:31 +0100 | <EvanR> | if you write out some computer text containing latin, green, chinese, arabic, and hebrew, some of these scripts will appear "big" and some "small"... that's how it should've been divided between types, ctors and variables xD |
| 2026-03-04 00:59:17 +0100 | <int-e> | EvanR: The Haskell 2010 report assumes a dichotomy with language like, for example, "Names for variables and type variables are identifiers beginning with lowercase letters or underscore; the other four kinds of names are identifiers beginning with uppercase letters." So this is technically a GHC extension? Hehe. |

| 2026-03-04 00:56:30 +0100 | <geekosaur> | ":" is treated as an "uppercase" symbol character |
| 2026-03-04 00:56:11 +0100 | <geekosaur> | initial upper for constructors, lower (or neutral) for variables |
| 2026-03-04 00:55:52 +0100 | <geekosaur> | yes and always has been. one of the annoyances with Haskell given scripts that lack the distinction (kanji, katakana, hangul, Arabic, Hebrew, etc.) |
| 2026-03-04 00:55:35 +0100 | <EvanR> | the plot thickens |
| 2026-03-04 00:55:04 +0100 | <EvanR> | lower is not required for variables |
| 2026-03-04 00:54:56 +0100 | <EvanR> | so it's like, yes upper is required for constructors |

| 2026-03-04 00:52:31 +0100 | <int-e> | EvanR: I guess this makes it "lower case" |

| 2026-03-04 00:52:04 +0100 | <EvanR> | it's pretty big so seems like a constructor |
| 2026-03-04 00:52:03 +0100 | <yin> | EvanR: I mostly blame the Num typeclass itself |
