Scala has overloading, currying not-by-default, optional and named parameters. Some similar stuff exist*, but they interfere with those Scala features, which I value more.

I know the Haskell operators, but the Idris syntax are new to me.

BTW * has to be escaped with a \.

I see that scala(z)'s operators are adapted from haskell which seems to make it quite nice, although I don't know the finer details.

Also thanks for letting me know about the escaping, sadly I can't edit the comment anymore
