I'm not convinced with the general usefulness of this construct vs making code less readable (and maintainable) -- this is an additional syntax burden on "accidental programmers" where using Julia...

> In `->g(_, a, h(_), _, f)` as opposed to `(x,y,z)->g(x,a,h(y),z,f)` I, to be honest, find the first case way more readable. You've chosen to bind `_` to different inputs...

How about unicode circled numbers, e.g. ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ ⑦ ⑧ ⑨. They could be given a nice shortcut `\o1` == ① . `-> printer(①,②,③ > 0...

> (To me, `filter(-> ①.age > 50, ①)` is confusing.) I agree; and so are the other implicit options.

`->f(2_)+_` What would this mean?

Following Aaron's observation that the interpretation of multi-argument lambdas are in #24990, I've [commented there](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/24990#issuecomment-751877737) instead of here. The skinny is, I think that using the Nth underscore for the...

So, if you are writing applications that normally work with the terminal, ANSI colours are rather obvious thing to do. Converting pre-formatted text + ANSI colours to HTML, like Jupyter...

How is this proposal different from https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/1251? It might be more scalable to have each set of glue be their own full-fledged package? I guess this is attempting to be...

@StefanKarpinski @KristofferC Thank you so much for working on conditional dependencies, I think for usability and not polluting the namespace, it's a great idea. How would implementation dependencies of glue...
