Re: Proposal: use ampersand expression with anonymous functions

[Fernando Tapia Rico]

You can simply pass the function in that use case.

f = fn x -> x*2 end
Enum.map([1,1,1], f)

It is possible to add support for using local defined functions in ampersand notation?

Example:

f = fn x -> x*2 end
Enum.map([1,1,1], &f/1)

It would really simplify those

&f.(&1)

calls, especially with functions passed as function arguments.

Thank you, it simplified my code a bit.

Can somebody remove this topic now?
