14:11 <discocaml> <axelfan_92090> hi

14:33 <discocaml> <faldor20> I think it's a weak example. I cannot personally think of a single time that the provided performance example occurred in my own code. I do however, have super weird currying related error messages appear constantly. Which I'm very used to ignoring and recognising their true meaning.

14:33 <discocaml> <faldor20> I think the underscore system used by some other languages is significantly better

14:37 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> When I said SML-like I meant passing everything as tuples

14:37 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> Syntactically anyways

14:37 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> So I see it as a plus

14:38 <companion_cube> as it stands, not using tuples will be faster in OCaml

14:38 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> Hm that's also fair, I also haven't ever used this partial computation approach but maybe there are some people who do 🤔

14:38 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> companion_cube: I assumed SML just unpacks the tuples as well but I might be wrong

14:42 <discocaml> <faldor20> Stuff 'em I'd say, it's a niceish feature that's just super awkward and painful for beginners

14:44 <discocaml> <faldor20> But if you wanted to fix the Ocaml syntax I'd start some other places (whoever thought solving nested pattern matching ambiguity by wrapping them in parentheses was a good idea, they have a lot to answer for!

14:45 <discocaml> <faldor20> Some French software Dev from the 90s deserves to have his frog legs and baguettes taken away forever!!

14:49 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> It simplifies the parser if nothing else

14:49 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> I know it mostly has no benefit for the user, but I appreciate simple parsers

14:49 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> Or rather simple grammars

15:55 <discocaml> <ada2k> at least there’s begin and end, but i rarely ever use them and prefer parens

16:19 <discocaml> <deepspacejohn> What would be the best alternative to (...)/begin...end?

16:22 <companion_cube> having `end` on match

16:36 <discocaml> <ada2k> match is the only place where i really get caught up on nesting

23:02 <discocaml> <darrenldl> +1

23:02 <discocaml> <darrenldl> i like currying otoh
