| 2026-02-09 01:54:35 +0100 | <lambdabot> | AlanPerlis says: The string is a stark data structure and everywhere it is passed there is much duplication of process. It is a perfect vehicle for hiding information. |

| 2026-02-09 01:54:19 +0100 | <ski> | (cf. using a `String' as an error message, vs. a data type. with the latter, you can e.g. localize it to different languages, portray it differently for different UIs, &c.) |

| 2026-02-09 01:53:12 +0100 | <ski> | EvanR : with the former, you can do alternative analyses/semantics (perhaps sending the command to a different process, or pretty-printing it, or analyzing commands for potential trouble interaction, &c.) |

| 2026-02-09 00:33:34 +0100 | <dolio> | If you're going to write multiple interpreters for one, then it might be worth it. But you want IO to be as low overhead as possible, bascially. |
| 2026-02-09 00:32:11 +0100 | <geekosaur> | tbh I've always considered that approach to be more useful conceptually than implementationally |
| 2026-02-09 00:30:49 +0100 | <dolio> | IO specifically, that is. |
| 2026-02-09 00:29:56 +0100 | <dolio> | Most likely the opposite. |
| 2026-02-09 00:29:33 +0100 | <dolio> | I'm sure there are ways to do it, but the question is why you would, when being a free monad is likely not valuable at all. |
| 2026-02-09 00:27:44 +0100 | <geekosaur> | although I can think of ways to make it work, especially given that FFI already doesn't really handle varargs |

| 2026-02-09 00:27:18 +0100 | <geekosaur> | that too, yes |
| 2026-02-09 00:26:55 +0100 | <dolio> | There's multiple problems with it. What about FFI? |
| 2026-02-09 00:24:24 +0100 | <geekosaur> | also I think it doesn't extend nicely to threads? |

| 2026-02-09 00:11:27 +0100 | <EvanR> | the IO system predates free monads being popularized by the blogosphere |
