oh man
<alexgordon>
this is cool.
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: sup
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
alexgordon: what is cool
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: my algorithm for near-optimal memory management
<alexgordon>
this should be a master's thesis or something
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: I can explain it, if you're having trouble sleeping
<devyn>
ELLIOTTCABLE: I think the solution I like best is to add an "identity" alien to infrastructure. Specifically similar to Haskell's `id :: a -> a`.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
devyn: only reason I see for doing that is "'cuz Haskell does" :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
got any other use-cases?
<devyn>
no no, going to explain:
<devyn>
basically,
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
void, I can actually see some uses for
<devyn>
well it's simpler than void
<devyn>
and it has more use cases I think, now that we have semicolons
<devyn>
because:
<devyn>
let's say I want to combine against a subexpression
<devyn>
if I were to do: [foo bar] [baz widget]
<devyn>
[foo bar]'s result would be combined against locals
<devyn>
so what if I infrastructure identity[] [foo bar] [baz widget]
<devyn>
then that does what I want
<devyn>
not sure really what to call it though
<devyn>
but anyway it allows you to do comments, and it doesn't introduce a meaningless return value
<devyn>
infrastructure identity[] "comment";
<alexgordon>
hi devyn
<devyn>
hi alexgordon
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Why would you ever want to juxtapose against a sub expression instead of simply popping that first part out of the sub-expression?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
that's the point of indirection :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
tires has been on my mind a bit lately, btw
<devyn>
yep, thought about that after, but hey, I don't know, maybe you do
<devyn>
lol
<purr>
lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
miiiiiiight actually implement some random crap
