Some interesting ideas, I quite like the uniform assignment syntax. Haskell and other functional languages define functions as: ``` x = 1 f x = 1 ``` It just means...

Should we allow no brackets for a single argument function? ``` f = x => x + 1 ```

Okay, that makes sense to me, so it has to be: ``` f = (x) => x + 1 ``` Presumably we are happy with all sorts of variations on...

I quite like the `_` syntax, but there is probably quite a lot of other uses for it too. If we use it I would suggest we use it as...

I find it hard to distinguish `_` and `__`, and it gets even harder with `___` and `____`. I think I prefer the Scala way where each slot is simply...
