@stablejoy:matrix.org | In reply to @toonn:matrix.org I think the point is more that "to assign" is more commonly understood than "to bind." Can one say then you assign a value to a variable and you bind an expression to a variable. The second is said in nix repl help. Also binding functions vs assigning values? | 16:05:27 |
toonn | You bind to identifiers rather than values. | 16:52:22 |
toonn | In most languages functions aren't first-class values so a different term is useful to distinguish what you do with them. | 16:52:54 |
