| Subject: | why is the forward pipe operator (>|) so little used? |
hi Reading a few introduction F# articles and presentations I made the observation that the forward pipe operator is widely popular. Its also a language feature that, when it comes up on blogposts or on stackoverflow, its presented as a special F# feature. In the Ocaml world the pipe doesn't have a special place. I doesn't come up in any of the Ocaml Books (print or pdf) and hardly any internet articles or blog posts. For example Jon Harrop mentions the pipe in one of his F# books but not in the Ocaml for Scientists book. Looking at the mentioned F# code, I think the usage of the pipe has an ( imho positive) impact on the style and the readability of the code. But obviously the proficient Ocaml folks don't use it - could someone may explain the reason(s)? thanks ben
