Prefix

Prefix functions are symbols written directly in front of another term (without space). The term gets applied as an argument to the prefix function. Use mixfix functions if the function has more than one argument.

They are defined by the ‣ suffix.

Example:

# defines a negation prefix function called '-'
-‣ [(+0) - 0] ⧗ Number → Number

# returns 0 - 10 = -10
:test (-(+10)) ((-10))

You can use them as normal functions by writing the identifier literally:

:test (-‣ (+10)) ((-10))

Allowed characters

Prefix functions can use any characters of !?*@:;+-_#$%^&<>/\|{}~= as well as mathematical unicode operators and arrows. They must be at least 1 character long.
