11:31 <SeanTAllen> A new "Last Week in Pony" is out. Did you miss anything that happened with Pony last week? If yes, you can catch up with "Last Week in Pony": https://www.ponylang.org/blog/2017/08/last-week-in-pony---august-6-2017/

14:20 <autodidaddict> So I started using the new promise functions. Join is spectacular.

14:21 <autodidaddict> But I think it's forcing complexity on the caller. If I build a promise array in a for loop that I want to join, I then need to head/tail split it so I can call join. If there was a primitive that let me do a join on a single array it would simplify my code quite a bit

14:23 <SeanTAllen> autodidaddict: i'd suggest writing such a primitive yourself then opening an RFC showing how it improves thing and it can get included in the standard library.

14:23 <autodidaddict> That was my plan 😀

14:41 <theodus> autodidaddict: Could that be solved using Promises.join? (https://stdlib.ponylang.org/promises-Promises/#join)

14:42 <theodus> It's does the same thing without depending on an existing promise

14:42 <autodidaddict> That's exactly what I wanted

14:42 <autodidaddict> I didn't see that when I went looking in docs

14:43 <autodidaddict> I was even going to call my primitive Promises

18:19 <autodidaddict> blog post that includes some 0.17.0 `Promises.join` action :) https://medium.com/@KevinHoffman/modeling-non-blocking-interactions-with-actors-in-pony-fae59151246a
