Replace Comments about BMI
The syntax-in-functions
page includes a BMI example that may benefit from being rewritten. The two options I'm aware of would be:
- Keeping using BMI as the example, but change the messages for different categories
- Change the example to something else that uses division, perhaps calculating speed from distance and time, and then it would be possible to provide silly messages that aren't about a sensitive issue.
I prefer the second option because I think it would just be best to avoid discussing BMI. I am happy to put together a PR if the maintainer agrees.
@andrewthad Thanks for pointing this out! Yes, please feel free to fork and submit a PR. Pull requests are always welcome. ( and preferred 😇 )
one case here: https://learnyouahaskell.github.io/syntax-in-functions.html#let-it-be
@andrewthad you mentioned you were interested in submitting a PR. I think it would be a great improvement. I just bumped into another SO question about this terrible example.
I'm leaning towards your option 2 (do away with BMI altogether).
