Description
Notice by @rricard: This issue is now only open to discuss the following alternatives: #{ }/#[ ], @{ }/@[ ], {| |}/[| |]{| }/[| ]
Original issue text:
Most people I've talked to are pretty positive about @const in two ways:
- Since it applies deeply on the data structure, it's not too wordy to have these extra letters at the beginning. And a terser syntax (like
#{ }/#[ ]) might be too cryptic and confusing. - The name
@constmakes sense, since it's just like declaring a variable const, but it goes deeply through the data structure.
It'd be good to continue collecting feedback to understand if these intuitions are widely shared.
