- scrollaway 7y agoFWIW I use binary literals a bunch in python, either when working with binary file formats or with bitfields.
- natefaubion 7y agoYes, I'm not saying there aren't usages for them in general, but PureScript currently occupies a niche that doesn't get down to the level of binary file formats. This change is more about "only supporting what we need to right now", rather than "we don't like binary literals". As noted elsewhere, it's not difficult to add support for them when we need to.
