2024-04-28 12:30:46 +0200 <ski> (atm i just rebooted $GRAPHICAL_BROWSER, since it was lagging and not responding. only just done so that i can check out the page in it)
2024-04-28 12:30:12 +0200 <tomsmeding> ah!
2024-04-28 12:30:05 +0200 <ski> it would be useful, sure, tomsmeding. i very commonly open pastes in terminal browser (without Javascript)
2024-04-28 12:30:04 +0200 <tomsmeding> my playground example works back to 8.4.4 :p
2024-04-28 12:29:43 +0200 <yin> ski: right
2024-04-28 12:29:24 +0200 <ski> yea, i tested in GHCi (just before i asked lambdabot), and concluded it worked (also testing whether `map' here was actually polymorphic, by applying it at different types), and so concluding it must not have worked at some point, and later got fixed

2024-04-28 12:28:56 +0200 <tomsmeding> and indeed, there's no raw link at that page; would you want one ski?
2024-04-28 12:28:26 +0200 <tomsmeding> you _do_ bind a and b that way
2024-04-28 12:28:25 +0200 <ski> that would be impredicative, not existential, yin
2024-04-28 12:28:16 +0200 <tomsmeding> so ski your last "that's a separate issue" parenthetical seems to be false
2024-04-28 12:28:07 +0200 <lambdabot> Unknown command, try @list
2024-04-28 12:28:07 +0200 <yin> @(forall a. a)
2024-04-28 12:27:55 +0200 <tomsmeding> in fact, if you change the called function (in the body) to foo2 everywhere, all cases work, even foo0
2024-04-28 12:27:35 +0200 <ski> yes, yin
2024-04-28 12:27:29 +0200 <ski> hm, there's no raw link at that page ?
2024-04-28 12:27:28 +0200 <yin> do we need existential type applications? :p
2024-04-28 12:26:59 +0200 <tomsmeding> ah no I'm not surprised about foo3
2024-04-28 12:26:26 +0200 <tomsmeding> and I'm even more surprised that foo1 works but foo3 doesn't
2024-04-28 12:26:13 +0200 <tomsmeding> to be honest I'm kind of surprised that foo3 doesn't work; I'm not sure what to expect with foo0

2024-04-28 12:24:35 +0200 <tomsmeding> in your last parenthetical
2024-04-28 12:24:27 +0200 <ski> i'm pretty sure the former (or another example that also tested the same thing) also didn't work, at some point
2024-04-28 12:24:21 +0200 <tomsmeding> ski: were you talking about the foo0 behaviour?

2024-04-28 12:21:13 +0200 <ski> hm. maybe they changed it so it works, now ?
2024-04-28 12:20:29 +0200 <tomsmeding> I guess it only does if the body already inferred to the annotated types?
2024-04-28 12:19:54 +0200 <yin> also news t ome
2024-04-28 12:19:47 +0200 <tomsmeding> wait it doesn't?
2024-04-28 12:19:24 +0200 <ski> (i'd also like the above to be able to bind tyvars `a' and `b', without a separate type signature. as, iirc, `PatternSignatures' originally allowed, but the current `ScopedTypeVariables' doesn't. but that's a separate issue)
2024-04-28 12:19:22 +0200 <tomsmeding> you're right, for functions with many arguments it would sometimes be nice to be able to interleave the types with the argument names

2024-04-28 12:18:02 +0200 <ski> iow, i'd prefer to be given the choice of using the usual type signatures, or a more C-style mixed definiendum & type ascriptions. (or both, or neither)
2024-04-28 12:16:55 +0200 <ski> (otoh, the MLs doesn't have separate type signatures, interleaved with implementation. you can only put those in signatures (/ module types))
2024-04-28 12:16:02 +0200 <yin> i see
2024-04-28 12:15:46 +0200 <ski> unlike in the MLs, where this works just fine
2024-04-28 12:15:35 +0200 <ski> yea, but that only works for pattern bindings, yin
2024-04-28 12:15:23 +0200 <ski> yea, but i'd rather have the option to express a full signature in this style, in addition to the usual separate type signature. rather than *almost*, but not quite, being able to do this
2024-04-28 12:15:21 +0200 <yin> e
2024-04-28 12:15:16 +0200 <yin> foo :: Bool = True -- works just fin
2024-04-28 12:14:41 +0200 <yin> we can't do that anymore?
