Sad given that reduce is probably the single most important operation in parallel programming. My thoughts exactly, even though it was partly me that pointed out the breaking changes... I still think we should add fold[lr]? just to fix the ordering.

I guess coming from Clojure I was less worried about Lisp-style code. I'll try to be more Python/Java/Scala-ish ;-) -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder

Curses, if no-one had pointed out it was breaking maybe no-one would have noticed, and just made the change?

Whatever happens in std.algorithm must also happen in std.parallelism. reduce in std.parallelism was constructed to be in harmony with std.algorithm and not UFCS.
