01:18 <SeanTAllen> not sure what you mean foofighterbar

01:18 <SeanTAllen> could you provide example code of what you are trying to do?

10:06 <Candle> SeanTAllen: I think I know what foofighterbar is on about; my example had a fun (tag?) function in the same class as the lambda is declared. If the function is declared after the lambda, it fails with a "function not defined" error; if it is declared before the lambda, then the error message is more complicated. In my case, I was able to move the function to a separate primitive.

11:38 <Candle> SeanTAllen: http://playground.ponylang.org/?gist=7cb67fa246a1e0871a7a0cca054c72b9

12:30 <SeanTAllen> Interesting. That seems like a bug but I'm not sure @Candle

12:56 <Candle> SeanTAllen: It certainly limits what you can do within a lambda.

13:40 <krig> interesting.. this variant compiles but prints nothing: http://playground.ponylang.org/?gist=fe124610c9d0b55e6b563b2c32df760b

13:42 <krig> this one prints foo: http://playground.ponylang.org/?gist=39bc9eded209a55179fa22f8bcfb0396

20:13 <vaninwagen> krig, yeah seems confusing at first. with https://playground.ponylang.org/?gist=fe124610c9d0b55e6b563b2c32df760b your lambda returns a partially applied function, it is not actually calling _do_something

20:14 <vaninwagen> this one https://playground.ponylang.org/?gist=39bc9eded209a55179fa22f8bcfb0396 takes the partially applied function an passes it as a callback. nice examples.

20:14 <vaninwagen> patroclos skimming through the irc logs, i have to admit that i am pretty excited about your language server! is it written in pony?

20:17 <SeanTAllen> i believe he said he was going to do TypeScript

20:17 <SeanTAllen> vaninwagen: ^

20:19 <vaninwagen> ahhh!

20:29 <krig> vaninwagen: yeah, it's not entirely relevant to the question about lambda, but I managed to confuse myself.. I got this train of thought down to a smaller version: http://playground.ponylang.org/?gist=074823676b940782cc3be01958b34f24

20:35 <vaninwagen> yeah, i fumbled something along those lines too :)

20:37 <vaninwagen> i need to play more with partial functions

20:38 <krig> I've been trying to figure out how the code generated for a partial function application compares to an explicit lambda, but the LLVM IR output is quite verbose..

20:43 <vaninwagen> krig, you could take your minimal example and compile it with --astpackage

20:43 <vaninwagen> this will output the ast after all desugaring - also a lot, but less verbose than LLVM IR at least

20:43 <krig> ah, interesting

22:24 <patroclos> vaninwagen: actually atm its a mix of typescript for the vscode part and c++ for the actual language/ast specifics
