@aartaka I want to know what you have to say on naming - for me a function should be named with a noun whenever possible -> then an adjective -> then a verb - but always understood as a noun, as if computation is already complete
"sum" not "add"
"product" not "multiply"
I would still write "permute" but in my mind I think of it as a noun

@66 to me, there’s a separation of values and functions, like in #CommonLisp. Values (+ structures/classes) are nouns, while functions are verbs. So whoever uses my stuff does actions onto the world. And thus needs verbs.
I am relatively inconsistent in that though, naming some functions “fields” or "description", let alone the predicates and type conversion functions. But the aspiration is with the verbs.
