base-unicode-symbols copied to clipboard
added ⪼ and ⪻
I added ⪼
and ⪻
symbols to Control.Monad.Unicode
to replace the monadic bind operators >>=
and =<<
. Everybody uses these a lot in the "point-free" programming style, same as symbols for Arrow and Applicative.
Different fonts I tried in my editor all look pretty good. This small font on github makes it hard to tell ≫
from ⪼
and ≪
from ⪻
. I don't think people use the small proportional font so much when coding, but maybe people do. The unicode characters look really close to ASCII versions.
Names of symbols seem backwards, like PRECEDES is really SUCCEEDS, and that might confuse people who think the name is important.
I looked on hackage and nobody else has claimed the symbols yet.
