2024-11-19 18:26:51 +0100 <guy> Leary, seems to be talking about returning Proxies from a "varient", and suggests the Variant datatype contains the disambiguating type annotation, itself as a proxy. dont do this, instead use the TypeApplication as the syntax for the disambiguating argument
2024-11-19 18:24:39 +0100 <guy> i dont think its iffy at all. @args are just as valid as regular args and the user can branch on choices easily like this
2024-11-19 18:23:26 +0100 <guy> so its a datatype that makes use of the `a' annotation internally
2024-11-19 18:23:15 +0100 <Leary> bwe: I don't know about that, but producing proxies from a variant is always going to be iffy in a standalone function. Making the variant the proxy itself is my recommendation.
2024-11-19 18:22:40 +0100 <bwe> guy: no, HasFoo is not my proxy
2024-11-19 18:21:37 +0100 <guy> but that said, so should your proxy remove the need for the existential quantifier, since it brings it into scope via an input argument
2024-11-19 18:21:04 +0100 <guy> that machinery i think makes proxies essentially redundant
2024-11-19 18:20:41 +0100 <guy> and it *is* ambiguous, so you just use that extension
2024-11-19 18:20:20 +0100 <guy> this is basically why TypeApplications was introduced, it saves having to use the proxy as an input argument, when the polymorphic variable appears in the return type
2024-11-19 18:19:28 +0100 <guy> because if thats the case it can be ommited, but then `a' only appears in the rhs, so it requires the forall and AmbiguousTypes
2024-11-19 18:18:44 +0100 <guy> is HasFoo your proxy?
2024-11-19 18:18:16 +0100 <guy> you need to pass the proxy, or the equivalent typeApplication in that case
2024-11-19 18:18:01 +0100mvk(~mvk@2607:fea8:5c96:5800::2d42) (Client Quit)
2024-11-19 18:17:55 +0100 <guy> but only as long as it doesnt just appear in a return type
2024-11-19 18:17:40 +0100 <guy> like if it were in a class that had `a' in its header, then you wouldnt need to resolve `a' via a forall

2024-11-19 18:16:50 +0100 <guy> HasFoo should stop it being ambiguous if its on the lhs of the *> *depending on what that is*

2024-11-19 18:16:07 +0100 <bwe> Leary: ok, so there's no way getting around type level data constructor?
2024-11-19 18:16:02 +0100 <guy> whats *> btw?
2024-11-19 18:15:16 +0100 <guy> idk if you need to put it in a continuations like that
2024-11-19 18:14:57 +0100 <Leary> bwe: It's existential regardless, because you don't know statically which type you're producing. You could write `withFoo :: Variant -> (forall a. HasFoo a => a -> r) -> r`.
2024-11-19 18:14:52 +0100 <guy> yeah you need a forall a. if your going to use typeApplications it requires RankNTypes
2024-11-19 18:12:55 +0100 <bwe> Leary: could I do it without Proxy like `genProxy :: Variant -> HasFoo a *> a` ? Does the Proxy require existential quantifier?

2024-11-19 18:08:21 +0100 <guy> im hoping it can be a good idea for a project in linear types, since the state data is always replaced
2024-11-19 18:07:43 +0100 <guy> again, this is something that can be implemented in haskell, and im wondering what the switch to "stateful by default" at a syntax level, would mean for a language
2024-11-19 18:06:49 +0100 <guy> (functions come with actual value associated)
2024-11-19 18:06:36 +0100 <guy> such that this `s' data would be handled automatically
2024-11-19 18:06:08 +0100 <guy> and all functions therefore needing to be passed as instantiated objects
2024-11-19 18:05:42 +0100 <guy> the idea is to make the last argument in a series of partial applications `s' and have the return type as (s,output)
2024-11-19 18:05:02 +0100 <guy> i know that basically haskell can handle stateful computations, so i wonder what the difference would be

2024-11-19 18:04:44 +0100 <guy> hi! I am wondering what a "stateful functional programing language" would be like as compared to haskell

2024-11-19 17:44:51 +0100 <droshux> Tbh I haven't really paid attention to it, maybe I should next time.
