No one liked my suggestion of ~> ? Too similar to -> ? Other ideas:
'foo' :> 'bar'
'foo' @> 'bar'
'foo' #> 'bar'
'foo' &> 'bar'
'foo' *> 'bar'
'foo' +> 'bar'
'foo' > 'bar'
'bar' <= 'foo'
I actually like :> pretty well. It looks more like =>, and has nice correspondence to := for named function params.
Hey, why not Unicode?
'bar' ➡ 'foo'
;-)
