for better or for worse, I finished that XP farm.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
at least, the functional parts.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it's GINORMOUS.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
got some aesthetic shit to do.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and miiiiight just tear down half of it, anyway, 'cause I left a bug in there.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>

ELLIOTTCABLE: awesome

glowcoil: lol English

<devyn>
possessive and accusative feminine pronouns should totally be the same
<devyn>
that makes so much sense

<devyn>
let's just do away with nominative and accusative case differentiation
<devyn>
it's not like English normally does that for nouns
<devyn>
"I like she"
<devyn>
"She like I"
<devyn>
hell even get rid of "I" and use "me" instead
<devyn>
"Me like she"
<devyn>
"She like me"
<prophile>
hell, do away with first and second person all together
<devyn>
that would be unusual
<devyn>
and no where is second person used there anyway
* prophile
crush devyn wixh shoe
<devyn>
japanese often avoids second person though. feels kinda gossipy.
<devyn>
sorry thinking of something else but they do that too
<devyn>
japanese avoids third person pronouns because they feel gossipy
<devyn>
second because it feels rude
<devyn>
second less so than third though
<devyn>
third person pronouns are super rare
<devyn>
except in like, gossip, or music
<devyn>
first can be alright if necessary but it's usually dropped too
<devyn>
basically, Japanese hates pronouns
<glowcoil>
devyn: also they're an open class whereas verbs are a closed class
<glowcoil>
right?
<devyn>
glowcoil: which are
<devyn>
?
<devyn>
pronouns?
<devyn>
I'm not sure
<devyn>
huh wikipedia says so
<devyn>
I'm trying to think of instances in which new pronouns are formed though
<devyn>
maybe in slang / yakuza speech?
<devyn>
I'm also not entirely sure that verbs are closed, because there are quite a lot of obvious compound words that are ichidan or godan verbs in Japanese
<devyn>
er, always godan*
<devyn>
don't think a compound could ever be ichidan

ELLIOTTCABLE: I don't know how to read nest or you're measuring in Kelvin?
<whitequark>
it's internally the same thing as nodejs but with none of the syntactic garbage
<alexgordon>
glowcoil: but that's bad because I can't tell that the setTextViewContent function happens at the different time to the setUpLineNUmbers() function!
<glowcoil>
alexgordon: and that's a job for formatting
<alexgordon>
lol
<purr>

<glowcoil>
it's understood that every list of statements is executed in parallel so that's not unclear
<alexgordon>
the code will be really brittle
<glowcoil>
on the contrary
<glowcoil>
it's idempotent/commutative
<glowcoil>
so it's far less brittle
<alexgordon>
glowcoil: ok but what when you need stuff to happen sequentially (i.e.... most of the time)
<glowcoil>
you can specify ordering yourself
<glowcoil>
but it woudln't look like
<glowcoil>
a; b;
<glowcoil>
it would look like, a -> b, or done: a; b when done; those are awful syntaxes
<glowcoil>
alexgordon: so when a compiler can mechanically transform from an easy-to-undersatnd form of code to CPS for you, you prefer to do it youreslf
<alexgordon>
glowcoil: also what are you going to do about the fixed costs of running stuff concurrently?
<alexgordon>
whitequark: that's... interesting
<alexgordon>
glowcoil: saying everything runs in parallel is all well and good but... starting parallel computations is not free
