Description
From the spec:
The Unicode operators \u21D2 ‘⇒’ and \u2190 ‘←’, which have the ASCII equivalents => and <-, are also reserved.
And from the standard library:
def →[B](y: B): Tuple2[A, B] = ->(y)
While they're very cute, they're all likely to confuse users for very little benefits. And people who like symbols can simply use a coding font with special ligatures such as Fira Pro which does a much better job at solving this problem.
(It's also worth noting that → in particular is problematic because it doesn't have the same associativity as ->
