  • vectorflow

  • I don't disagree that it can be useful (eg. from one of the other projects mentioned in the thread: https://github.com/Netflix/vectorflow/blob/master/src/vector...), and I definitely saw plenty of people that liked it. I think it existed in the same realm as a feature like lisp macros which are incredibly useful but when overused can turn the code into an inscrutable mess. The question for me was always how much the community would use or overuse them. When talking with other people it seemed like their own use of UFCS was obvious, but then again they wrote the code so of course they were going to understand it.

    Without knowing any of the associated types and members how many interpretations could the prior expression 'a.b!c.d' have with UFCS and parens-less calling conventions (and any other feature that might contribute to different semantics)?

    b!(c.d)(a)
