| 2026-02-04 17:11:42 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | magic_rb: you can't suffice with refcounting for haskell, you get cycles all over the place that you have to collect with some kind of tracing GC |

| 2026-02-04 16:36:31 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | I've thought about a call-by-push-value lambda calculus compiler for haskell |
| 2026-02-04 16:36:12 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | I think it is a fun idea :) |
| 2026-02-04 16:35:34 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | the obvious downside is that almost the entire hackage system is inaccessible |
| 2026-02-04 16:35:29 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> The worst part is that I get an urge to write one myself too |
| 2026-02-04 16:35:08 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | its lovely to have a very tiny haskell implementation, to be honest |
| 2026-02-04 16:34:38 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> Oh cool. I should install and try it myself (= |
| 2026-02-04 16:34:15 +0100 | mesaoptimizer | sighs and reinstalls microhs again to double check |
| 2026-02-04 16:33:51 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | I see. I think that is what the switch that I recall may have been doing. |

| 2026-02-04 16:32:51 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> I meant building packages using ghc as the compiler and mcabal as the build system (mcabal calling ghc instead of microhs) |
| 2026-02-04 16:31:21 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | also I'm unsure what happens when you use the `--ghc` switch with mcabal |

| 2026-02-04 16:30:59 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | you mean the `--ghc` switch? yeah I have troubles with using cabal for effectively anything. If you have a working cabal setup for your GHC then I guess that works. I don't think that strategy is tenable for someone who wants to use only microhs + mcabal though |

| 2026-02-04 16:24:24 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> But can I build using ghc with mcabal? |

| 2026-02-04 16:10:50 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | also any package that involves networking seems to throw an error |
| 2026-02-04 16:10:35 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | any package that depends on ghc-prim cannot be installed via mcabal |
| 2026-02-04 16:10:23 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | IIRC it couldn't build aeson for example, because that relied on ghc-prim |
| 2026-02-04 16:09:57 +0100 | <mesaoptimizer> | microhs + mcabal cannot yet install / build most hackage packages |

| 2026-02-04 16:01:55 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> I wanted to suggest memorizing that ($) is zero and using that as a mnemonic =) |
| 2026-02-04 16:01:30 +0100 | <dutchie> | i always have to :i $ in ghci to see whether low number is tight binding or not |
| 2026-02-04 16:00:40 +0100 | <dutchie> | why can I never remember which way the numbers go in fixity declarations |
| 2026-02-04 15:59:58 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> I could create an array of size 33 padded with zeroes, true, but it's even less convenient to use - there is no simple conversion from size 33 to size 32 |
| 2026-02-04 15:57:19 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> If it were just Box<[u8]>, this could be achieved very simply. If it were [u8; 32] to append a byte and get [u8; 33] - also very simple. But I wanted to write one function for several N sizes |
| 2026-02-04 15:56:33 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> I wanted to write this function because I have arrays of different sizes (for XOF seeding), and the algorithm wants to append one or two bytes to the seeds sometimes |
| 2026-02-04 15:55:57 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Morj> In rust you can have a choice between statically and dynamically known sizes, roughly [u8; N] and Box<[u8]> |
| 2026-02-04 15:55:35 +0100 | <gentauro> | And you end up padding/populating non-used array items with some value. |
