This is a list of cute operator names that I have generally seen in scala code-bases.
One letter operators such as ! (exclamation) or * (star) are easy to communicate verbally.
But when it comes to multicharacter operators, dictating each letter one by one turns out to be very inefficient.
(In fact, I have often used hand gestures 🖖🤏🤙 to describe the operator I would want to use).
So finally I decided to have a list of cute names which are easier to remember for most commonly used Scala operators —
| Operator | Common Name |
|---|---|
*> |
Ice Cream |
<* |
Reverse Cream |
<> |
Diamond |
++ |
Fence |
+++ |
Wide Fence |
>=> |
Fish |
=> |
Fat Arrow |
-> |
Thin Arrow |
~> |
Squiggly Arrow |
>> |
Forward |
<< |
Back |
>>> |
Fast Forward |
<<< |
Rewind |
:: |
Cube |
::: |
Cuboid |
If you think you have a better name or if you want to add another operator please send a PR 🙌
- Ensure the names are cute 🐥
- Should not leak implementation details 🙅
That's all 🙏
Give it a ⭐ if you like it!
