Re^2: meaning of =()=

Interesting link. What the prolific Peteris Krumins has dubbed the turtle operator I called Baby Cart in my recent golf article, following BooK's original suggestion.

I guess whether @{[]} more closely resembles a turtle or a Baby Cart is a matter of personal taste. Maybe we'll end up with synonyms for this operator. I prefer BooK's Baby Cart because I find it more amusing for some reason, perhaps because this term is not in common usage, at least not in Australia, where we call it a pram.

When I invented `@{[]}`, I neglected to give it a name. Maybe I should have asked Heidi (Larry Wall's daughter), like I did to come up with `<=>` as "spaceship", which has apparently stuck (having been even in the text of an error message for a while). -- Randal L.

What about the "Saturn" operator looks very much like it in some images.	[reply]
