it should be very easy and obvious

[Raoul Duke]

how to pass ceil vs. floor unapplied functions to another function that wants to optionally use that operation if given. 

[Raoul Duke]

or to apply ceil etc. to a struct's relevant fields in some super concise ergonomic fun way. 

[Mike Austin]

floor and ceil have the same type signature, don't they? Are you talking C/Obj-C?

[Raoul Duke]

in a super statically typed language do they easily correctly automagically support all numeric types? :) swift ux.

Oh, I thought you were comparing just ceil to floor. Yes, the different signature with float, double, etc. are not compatible without generics.

and then swift makes it a nightmare to get to work because of how all
the protocol stuff works, and has cryptic error messages because of
other syntax "flexibility" that gets in the way so the error messages
end up being - as i like to describe swift - akin to a zen master
pointing a finger at the fart.
