New overloading operator methods

Language Design
6

I’d like to have the possibility to override basic operations as following

a = b + c

operator fun addition(a: Vec2, b: Vec2): Vec2 {
    x = a.x + b.x
    y = a.y + b.y
    return this;
}

in order to save result in a without creating any intermediate garbage result…

According to Perry Nguyen, this is possible in Scala:

[quote=“Perry Nguyen, post:6, topic:2007, full:true”]it would end up being something like a := b / c, where := would be defined as def :=(ops: Vec2Op) = a.append(ops.calculate) and b / c would evaluate as a Vec2Op
