Re:Writing Prettier Haskell with Unicode Syntax and Vim by WJW on Thursday June 22, 2023 @05:09PM (#36439044)
I have to respond to this with a resounding "meh" tbh. ∀ is a pretty unique symbol, it is very readable even if you don't know what it means. Programming forces you to learn new words constantly anyway. It's not like "object instance", "monad", "recursion" or even "while loop" are all that intuitive to beginners yet all programmers learned them anyway. (feel free to ignore any terms you're not familiar with, they're just examples)

∀ might be just as incomprehensible as OOP for a starting programmer, but for anyone taking even a small amount of time to learn it is not difficult at all.
