| 2025-11-22 21:28:20 +0100 | <monochrom> | No more confusing than any other meaningful names. |
| 2025-11-22 21:27:32 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> Don't say Wordeger |
| 2025-11-22 21:27:23 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> If Word is not confusing, what's the name of dynamic-sized word? |
| 2025-11-22 21:27:12 +0100 | <bwe> | No, I mean the word `Word`. |
| 2025-11-22 21:26:59 +0100 | <monochrom> | Word is no more confusing than Int. |
| 2025-11-22 21:26:30 +0100 | <EvanR> | er, maxWord |
| 2025-11-22 21:26:28 +0100 | <bwe> | Word is confusing |
| 2025-11-22 21:26:16 +0100 | <EvanR> | then zero is literally not representable... but 255 is necessarily an error |
| 2025-11-22 21:25:14 +0100 | <EvanR> | Word + 1 |
| 2025-11-22 21:25:10 +0100 | <EvanR> | yes Word is what I should have thought of |
| 2025-11-22 21:24:59 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> Yes, this is a common trick. Usually used for data structures, like https://hackage.haskell.org/package/mono-traversable-1.0.21.0/docs/Data-NonNull.html |
| 2025-11-22 21:24:49 +0100 | <monochrom> | Use Natural or Word but consistently off by 1, e.g., 1 is represented by 0. |
| 2025-11-22 21:24:26 +0100 | <bwe> | glguy: oh, that's a nice trick. So I am not constructing it with MyType but newMyType that checks for 0. |
| 2025-11-22 21:23:50 +0100 | <EvanR> | but that might be too heady |
| 2025-11-22 21:23:25 +0100 | <EvanR> | another avenue is to make the new type represent the value wrapped value + something |
| 2025-11-22 21:22:32 +0100 | <glguy> | check for 0 in the function that constructs values of your new type |
