2025-09-03 17:25:19 × marinelli quits (~weechat@gateway/tor-sasl/marinelli) (Quit: marinelli)
2025-09-03 17:26:33 <__monty__> I do wonder why the `Str` type has `Zero`, `One a` and `Two (Str a) (Str a)`. It looks so much like `data Str a = One a | Many [Str a]`.

2025-09-03 17:38:57 <tomsmeding> two fewer pointers if (<>) is dumb and just produces `Many [a,b]`?

2025-09-03 17:39:26 <tomsmeding> three fewer pointers even -- to the list, to the second cons cell, and to the nil

2025-09-03 17:51:53 <__monty__> But it saves pointers whenever you do have a list-like sequence of children, no/

2025-09-03 18:05:15 × jmcantrell_ quits (~weechat@user/jmcantrell) (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
2025-09-03 18:05:52 <Enrico63> Hi there! I've just created a pull request (https://github.com/haskell/haskeline/pull/207) for some fix to the haskeline library (that mimics the famous readline library), but the repo has no actual maintainer, but simply a custodian, so my PR can't be reviewed by them :(
2025-09-03 18:05:52 <Enrico63> I've posted the code on https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/298044/augment-vi-editing-mode-in-haskeline-by-implementing-the-and-commands so you can look at as an alternative to github.
2025-09-03 18:06:44 × cherryramatisdev quits (~cherryram@user/cherryramatisdev) (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
2025-09-03 18:06:59 <Enrico63> I would really be greatful if somebody could help me get that reviewed. Not because the feature is a big deal, but I'm without a job, and I want to get better at Haskell to eventually target some haskell job
2025-09-03 18:07:14 <Enrico63> And doing open source seems a way to learn, I suppose

2025-09-03 18:23:18 <__monty__> Fair warning, if your priority is landing a job, focusing on Haskell is probably not the way.
2025-09-03 18:24:19 × divlamir quits (~divlamir@user/divlamir) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
2025-09-03 18:24:25 <[exa]> (otoh don't get demotivated, saying "I can do haskell" helps :D )

2025-09-03 18:25:31 <chromoblob> you are right
2025-09-03 18:26:02 <[exa]> Enrico63: just from the point of the reviewer, could you separate the commits into formatting changes and then actual changes by topic? (not part 1,2,...; these are kinda very anonymous)
2025-09-03 18:26:28 <[exa]> OTOH I have to say that some of the formatting changes there are for a very good reason :D

2025-09-03 18:29:17 <[exa]> Enrico63: anyway the PR is open for literal 5 hours now and you got feedback already, I'd say wait a day or so and it's gonna get attention

2025-09-03 19:01:51 <tomsmeding> __monty__: no it doesn't save pointers
2025-09-03 19:02:11 <tomsmeding> __monty__: https://paste.tomsmeding.com/LCpzehi8 even with a dumb Zero at the end, it's one pointer less
2025-09-03 19:03:22 <tomsmeding> (because the Two is like (:))
2025-09-03 19:03:46 <tomsmeding> if you had Many [a], then that would save some pointers
2025-09-03 19:07:35 <int-e> you kind of save the pointer to []: https://paste.tomsmeding.com/EC4Txwvi
2025-09-03 19:08:20 cherryramatisdev joins (~cherryram@user/cherryramatisdev)
2025-09-03 19:08:30 <tomsmeding> that's if you sensibly don't use Zero, yes
2025-09-03 19:09:51 <int-e> you'd save more if `One a` gets unpacked but that doesn't work with polymorphic types
2025-09-03 19:10:25 <int-e> and sure, you can "waste" pointers if you keep using `Zero`.
2025-09-03 19:13:21 × cherryramatisdev quits (~cherryram@user/cherryramatisdev) (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
2025-09-03 19:14:46 <int-e> Oh wait my second example is missing the `One` constructors.

2025-09-03 19:43:07 pavonia joins (~user@user/siracusa)
2025-09-03 19:46:05 <__monty__> I guess the real question is why do we even have [] and (:)? We should have Zero, One, Two : >
2025-09-03 19:47:13 <tomsmeding> because [] has O(1) head :p
2025-09-03 19:48:01 <tomsmeding> but if all you do is build a sequence up using Monoid operations and then fold over the thing once, that's unnecessary and something like Str works better
2025-09-03 19:48:12 <tomsmeding> I typically call this Bag
2025-09-03 19:49:34 × zarakshR quits (~Thunderbi@host5-81-134-212.range5-81.btcentralplus.com) (Quit: zarakshR)

2025-09-03 19:50:17 <int-e> __monty__: add Three and maybe Four and some inside-out zipper and you might get a finger tree
2025-09-03 19:50:57 <__monty__> They're called finger trees because they have a constructor for each of my fingers? : O
2025-09-03 19:51:27 <tomsmeding> (see also https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/koen-claessen/finger-trees.pdf )
2025-09-03 19:51:29 <int-e> I like to explain it as them having a huge middle finger.
2025-09-03 19:51:40 × ubert quits (~Thunderbi@178.165.187.121.wireless.dyn.drei.com) (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
2025-09-03 19:52:10 <int-e> Anyway, what I said isn't too accurate... but there are some parts that actually fit.
2025-09-03 19:52:51 <Enrico63> [exa], you mean I should keep the fractioning of the change as I have done it?
2025-09-03 19:53:10 <Enrico63> ... just read your "oh wait" message.

2025-09-03 20:03:32 <monochrom> We should have Zero, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, ... ad infinitum. Deeply magical built-in.
2025-09-03 20:04:10 <int-e> monochrom: it's called Array
2025-09-03 20:04:20 <monochrom> :( :D
