Functions
always(a: a, b) -> a
A function that always return its first argument. Handy in folds and maps.
let always_14 = always(14, _)
always_14(42) == 14
always_14(1337) == 14
always_14(0) == 14
flip(f: fn(a, b) -> c) -> fn(b, a) -> c
A function that flips the arguments of a function.
pub fn titleize(left: String, right: String) {}
titleize("Hello", "World") // "Hello, World!"
flip(titleize)("Hello", "World") // "World, Hello!"
identity(a: a) -> a
A function that returns its argument. Handy as a default behavior sometimes.
not(self: Bool) -> Bool
Like !
, but as a function. Handy for chaining using the pipe operator |>
or to pass as a function.
