Why didn't you make the circle constant a circle in your manifesto? I'm not sure but it seems the function composition symbol could be safely reused without confusion or perhaps a larger circle with a drawn radius. Wouldn't a circle have avoided some of the Tau criticisms?
- sesqu 13y agoThe major problem is that a circle is too ambiguous a symbol; you'd need to add a notch or line or something to make it clear that you're referencing a constant. And when you do that, it becomes harder to write. I always favored a variation on ◷, something like ◯̶ or ◯̵ or ○̵. Unfortunately, combined glyphs are representationally very unstable.
