<ELLIOTTCABLE> grumpiest
<ELLIOTTCABLE> devyn: oh, valid point, strings *outside* of the void-flow
<ELLIOTTCABLE> idk tired bye

<alexgordon> 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
