Subject: Immediate recursive functions
Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2005 16:32:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4214B8F1.7010402@barettadeit.com> (raw)
I sometimes feel the need for a mu operator. I'm thinking of something
like the following:
# (rec f x -> if x <= 0 then 1 else x * (f (pred x))) 5
- : int = 120
as opposed to
(let rec f x = if x <= 0 then 1 else x * (f (pred x)) in f) 5
- : int = 120
This is not really a feature wish so much a bit of insane curiosity. Is
there any specific reason for not having this in the core language syntax?
Alex
