Description
Referring to the purescript book issue 259
search for readFloat returns nothing, because Global is deprecated
To be more specific searching
readFloat
which returns nothing
and the searching for
readFloat()
(I added the brackets thinking, maybe search only work on functions if you add brackets)
return a lot of irrelevant results
I think the search behavior should be more reasonable
And it should not return nothing
I think ideally it should return the correct result but clearly flag it as deprecated
