Let’s say I want to write a lambda function with no arguments that’s connected to a button in GUI coding, will blabla.connect(()=>print(“clicked”)) be used or will blabla.connect(=>print(“clicked”)) be used? Sent from my iPhone

I like arrow operators :-)
But I fear that it will be too easy to misread `=>` as greater than or equal to, especially when skimming code.
Assuming that they need to be different arrows, how do you feel about `->` for types and annotations, and `-->` for lambdas? Or `->>`?
JavaScript uses => for functions, and the confusion with ">=" doesn't seem to be a major problem with it. C# also uses "=>".
