Make back slash darker

[pamu]

Back slash appears too light.

[tonsky]

Is that Haskell? What does backslash mean here?

[Moulick]

@tonsky Yeah man, that thin backslash in the latest release is not easily visible.

[miniBill]

@tonsky it's Haskell, and \a -> b is a function taking a as argument and returning b as result.

[leopiccionia]

Haskell uses \ as the lambda (anonymous function) operator, supposedly due to similarity between \ and λ (Hasklig considered a \->λ-like ligature, but rejected it because λ is a valid identifier in Haskell).

[code4t2]

That looks like it's interpreting them as the escape character(s) in Java/C#/others ( \n \t \r etc.) This behavior is actually useful in these languages, so I'm not sure this would be a bug.

[unclechu]

@tonsky it's "black" slash (not "back").

[tonsky]

@unclechu what are you talking about? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backslash

[unclechu]

@tonsky I'm talking about the title of the issue, please read it carefully.

[tonsky]

thx, fixed the title

[pamu]

Is anyone working on it?

[tonsky]

Should’ve been fixed in 1.206 #577
