Re: [pure-lang-users] Proposed syntax changes

OMG $$++

Regarding tuples, I've always thought of tuples as representing
structures with a fixed number of slots, and that this was a perfectly
valid thing to do. My Pure abilities are still weak, so somebody help
me out – I assumed tagged tuples would be useful for representing
algebraic types in a dynamic language like Pure, since they are good
for matching on. Is there a better way?

Best,
