-# Chapter 18: Functions
-
-Some thinking on function syntax:
-
-Function Types:
-```
-{ argtype, argtype, ... -> rettype }
-```
-
-Leading `{` character denotes the start of a function or function type.
-
-Functions are normal variables and assigned the same way:
-
-```functiontype var = function-typed-expr```
-
-Functions themselves using the same syntax with as types, but filled in:
-
-```
-{ int x, int y ->
- sqrt(x*x+y*y);
-}
-```
-
-Used in a declaration statement:
-```
-// TYPE VAR = EXPR
-{flt,flt->flt} dist = { flt x, flt y ->
- sqrt(x*x+y*y);
-}
-```
-
-Because it gets clunky to write the function type, and because it can be
-directly inferred from forwards-flow analysis (not even HM) which we're already
-doing at parse-time, we add a new variable declaration syntax: "var" - for
-auto-inferring variable types. Not allowed in function headers.
-```
-var dist = { flt x, flt y -> sqrt(x*x*,y*y); }
-```
-
-`var` can be used for normal variables as well:
-
-```
-// Newtons approximation to the square root
-var sqrt = { flt x ->
- var guess = x*x/2;
- while( 1 ) {
- var next = (x/guess + guess)/2;
- if( next == guess ) break;
- guess = next;
- }
- guess;
-}
-```
-
-When inferring pointer types, it will use the `glb` of the initial expression
-type, which may not be what you want:
-
-```
-struct LLI { LLI? next; int i; };
-var head = LLI(); // Want this declared not-null, but GLB will allow null
-head = null; // Allowed
-``` \ No newline at end of file
