2024-11-19 13:34:55 +0100 <Leary> bwe: Proxies and TypeApplications are the usual options. If you're fine with being limited to GHC 9.10 or newer you can use RequiredTypeArguments instead.

2024-11-19 13:31:26 +0100 <bwe> I'd like to define some instances for a type class without the member of the class as argument, like `f :: Int` instead of `f :: a -> Int`. Reason: Before `a` gets constructed, I need some functions that are specific to the variant of `a`. Which approaches do you recommend?

2024-11-19 13:21:34 +0100 <dminuoso> kuribas: Structural subtyping captures some, but not all commonly mentioned, ideas of duck typing.
2024-11-19 13:20:41 +0100 <dminuoso> It mostly arises from the idea of smalltalk object orientation, where if some object behaves as if it was a duck, you can just call it a duck.
2024-11-19 13:20:17 +0100 <kuribas> looks like structural subtyping to me: https://peps.python.org/pep-0544/
2024-11-19 13:20:04 +0100 <dminuoso> Well, the "if it doesn't" is not something that duck type proponents really worry about.
2024-11-19 13:19:47 +0100 <dminuoso> Duck typing is nothing that you can sensibly annotate with formal names, because its a very loose abstract idea.
2024-11-19 13:19:40 +0100 <kuribas> "if it works out". If it doesn't, you get an unpredictable error.
2024-11-19 13:19:10 +0100 <dminuoso> In duck typing, rather than formally (via a type system) asserting that you have some sort of impedance match between componets (say the function signature with the passed arguments), if it works out at runtime, thats just as good.
2024-11-19 13:19:06 +0100 <kuribas> For example anonymous records.

2024-11-19 13:18:42 +0100 <kuribas> Well, if duck typing is structural typing, then idris doesn't have it, but it's possible to emulate it with dependent types.

2024-11-19 13:17:25 +0100 <dminuoso> Id say not really.
2024-11-19 13:16:15 +0100 <kuribas> Isn't duck typing the equivalent of type classes?
2024-11-19 13:15:48 +0100 <dminuoso> If it type checks like a duck, we shall make it a duck.

2024-11-19 13:15:28 +0100 <dminuoso> Sounds like the type system way of duck typing. :-)

2024-11-19 13:14:30 +0100 <kuribas> instance resolution corresponds to proof search.
2024-11-19 13:14:20 +0100 <kuribas> Leary: no, that's just type checking, implicit resolution and proof search are different features.
2024-11-19 13:12:56 +0100 <Leary> Sounds evil. Isn't that just IncoherentInstances?
2024-11-19 13:11:57 +0100 <kuribas> geekosaur: rebindable syntax will use the (>>=) in scope, but in idris it will try every definition of (>>=), and pick the one that typechecks..
2024-11-19 13:10:52 +0100 <kuribas> geekosaur: It's not the same. In haskell you must have a non ambiguous way to resolve (>>=), but in idris it's overloaded, it will do a search.

2024-11-19 13:01:09 +0100 <dminuoso> As you can see, it's from other packages. I think hoogle always lists `base` references first.
