2024-05-16 10:25:53 +0200 <ski> (i may be missing some detail, or getting some details wrong, but that's my impression, from reading some papers about it, semi-recently .. still need to play around more in the implementation, though)
2024-05-16 10:24:19 +0200 <ski> (they have unification of lambda terms, up to alpha-, beta-, and eta- conversion. but lambda terms are rather weak, can't compute on sum types, and no recursion. you do computation not with functions, but with predicates/relations, iow logic programming, searching for proofs/values of propositions/types)
2024-05-16 10:22:36 +0200 <ski> aiui, this is because (a) they purposely want a rather weak theory, to not assume too much, when representing object systems (logics, type systems, operational semantics, &c.); but also (b) in order to keep unification and type checking decidable
2024-05-16 10:20:54 +0200 <ski> yep
2024-05-16 10:20:24 +0200 <kuribas`> right, no type 1, type 2, ... as in idris2
2024-05-16 10:20:15 +0200 <ski> it's a fairly conservative/restrictive theory
2024-05-16 10:19:44 +0200 <ski> bu there's no infinite tower of sorts
2024-05-16 10:19:35 +0200 <ski> no, LF is dependently typed to begin with
2024-05-16 10:19:22 +0200 <kuribas`> Twelf is dependently typed Elf?
2024-05-16 10:19:01 +0200 <ski> (in LF, the Logical Framework system, that Elf is based on, and of which Twelf is an implementation of)
2024-05-16 10:18:19 +0200 <ski> there are three levels, values, types, and kinds
2024-05-16 10:17:40 +0200 <kuribas`> ski: so types are not values then?
2024-05-16 10:16:46 +0200 <ski> kuribas` : aiui, no parametric polymorphism, types only depend on values, not types; iirc, in original implementation, they had that, but they didn't include it in the reworked implementation (yet at least), because the theory for it was unclear

2024-05-16 09:46:51 +0200 <kuribas`> perhaps offtopic, but I looked at twelf, and I am surprised you need to reinvent equality (refl, cong, ...) for each datatype.

2024-05-16 09:33:31 +0200 <tomsmeding> but true
2024-05-16 09:33:02 +0200 <tomsmeding> with slightly more overhead
2024-05-16 09:32:35 +0200 <c_wraith> and a TVar-based approach lets you write much more obviously-correct code that works under the write-light conditions.

2024-05-16 09:30:46 +0200 <tomsmeding> hence the "write-light" observed above
2024-05-16 09:30:38 +0200 <tomsmeding> of course
2024-05-16 09:30:31 +0200 <c_wraith> in practice, an MVar-based implementation will perform way better with heavy writes.
2024-05-16 09:29:30 +0200 <tomsmeding> and observing that this cleverer implementation does not have stronger preconditions than the MVar-based one
2024-05-16 09:29:28 +0200kuribas`(~user@ip-188-118-57-242.reverse.destiny.be)
2024-05-16 09:29:12 +0200 <tomsmeding> I'm looking at an idealised implementation in terms of `MVar (Map Key Value)`
2024-05-16 09:28:37 +0200 <c_wraith> You're adding extra semantics. I'm looking at the type. :P
2024-05-16 09:28:09 +0200 <tomsmeding> I that would be a requirement from the interface of getRefForKey anyway, regardless of the implementation
2024-05-16 09:27:45 +0200_bo(~bo@198.red-83-56-252.dynamicip.rima-tde.net)
2024-05-16 09:27:07 +0200 <c_wraith> Ok, it works on the assumption that the value you want to insert doesn't depend on whether there was already a key there or not (or depends trivially, with some sort of commutative operation)

2024-05-16 09:22:25 +0200 <tomsmeding> write-light, then
2024-05-16 09:22:17 +0200 <tomsmeding> :D
2024-05-16 09:21:41 +0200 <Axman6> actually that's not true, since things were only read when a uses used the webservice, which no one ever did =)

2024-05-16 09:21:05 +0200 <Axman6> yeah - which my one use case for this particular design was =)
2024-05-16 09:20:44 +0200 <tomsmeding> also needs a read-heavy workload
2024-05-16 09:20:31 +0200 <tomsmeding> but if that's enough, it's nice
2024-05-16 09:20:27 +0200 <tomsmeding> gets you a limited interface though, to the map
