I wrote this on another thread, but I think you might be interested in this view
On the balance of probabilities, I would imagine that most software engineers would prefer the identifier of a so-called “first-class” function object to be just the function’s name (like it is in Haskell), rather than “function space underscore”.
I think a functions first-class object name should be just it’s name.
Somebody, somewhere, thought that Uniform Access Principle was so cool, that it should trump the obvious, That is sad.
As one of the compiler gurus, how do you feel that, in scala, a 1st-class function object is not simply it’s name?
