## Modifications

### New Syntax

In the previous version of the language, the type would always come before the name. For example:

```fsharp
// Old Syntax - <type> <name>
fun getGreeting(String fullName)
```

in this new version, this aspect been reversed: the type will now always come *after* the name, seperated by a colon:

```fsharp
// New Syntax - <name>: <type>
fun getGreeting(fullName: String)
```

### New Pipe Operator

The pipe operator has been changed from `=>` to `|>`.
