4I would guess they explicitly wanted the if/then/else syntax which they can't get without mixfix functions like they have in agda. The function you refer to is structured as a ternary, which you could implement yourself though I presume they gave us if/then/else sugar (it's likely just sugar over a case) just because they could and it's harmless.. But I have nothing to back me up here, which is why I'm writing this in a comment.Jimmy Hoffa– Jimmy Hoffa2013-04-22 14:12:20 +00:00Commented Apr 22, 2013 at 14:12

10This might be obvious to most of the readers, but I would like to point out that having îf/then/else as a function would not be a good solution in an eager language (e.g. scheme or sml) while it is reasonable in a lazy language like Haskell.Giorgio– Giorgio2013-04-24 17:00:29 +00:00Commented Apr 24, 2013 at 17:00

How to Edit
- Correct minor typos or mistakes
- Clarify meaning without changing it
- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
How to Format
-
create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
``` -
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible)
<https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
