10:59 <CcxWrk> Kicking out crypto definitely makes sense as you really want that to be updatable individually without worrying about language features other libraries changing.

11:59 <vaninwagen> SeanTAllen: then, following this logic we also need to kick net/ssl

14:20 <strmpnk> A standard library without net/* is entirely possible. Everything could be an add-on but Pony gains a lot in making things work well together. Breaking things out will allow decoupled workflows but when was that the actual problem? It seems like a problem of its own that people want to tackle but the issue with cryptographic primitives is that library compatibility on the host becomes an issue (compiler host vs runtime host

14:20 <strmpnk> being another problem as it’s solved right now). Solving this right seems completely orthogonal to breaking up the stdlib.

19:08 <patroclos> just discovered a bug in String.concat after spending 20 minutes debugging my code

19:10 <SeanTAllen> do you have a minimal example that can demonstrate the bug patroclos ?

19:10 <patroclos> String(1) .> concat(Iter[U8].repeat_value('A'), 0, 1)
