functional programming - What are some intuitions that support calling the Maybe constructor in Haskell "Just"? -
the intuition of optional type maybe int
either there no int (thus, there's nothing
there) or there some int; there there.
it makes sense me call type constructor "negative" case nothing
, since means -- there's no int
there. why use word just in case emphasis on actually being there?
to me, word "just" carries connotation thing it's describing less alternative; opposite of being there; example,
a: doing tonight?
b: no; i'm just gonna stay in , watch tv.
a: did investigate creepy ghost sounds around house?
b: yeah, turns out just owl.
clearly i'm lacking whatever intuition naming choice based on. it? because me, word just means opposite of how it's used in maybe
type.
