| 2025-05-12 05:47:01 +0200 | <monochrom> | So it is missing out on fix (0 :) = 0 : 0 : ... but it's OK, call-by-value languages don't have lazy lists in the first place. :) |
| 2025-05-12 05:45:43 +0200 | <monochrom> | Y is (\t -> t t) (\t -> f (t t)). For call-by-value languages we eta expand to (\t x -> f (t t) x) so one more argument is needed for evaluation so there is the delay I said we need. |

| 2025-05-12 05:43:00 +0200 | <EvanR> | I see |
| 2025-05-12 05:42:06 +0200 | <ski> | it's the by-value fixed point combinator |
| 2025-05-12 05:41:48 +0200 | <EvanR> | is that the Z combinator ski |
| 2025-05-12 05:41:15 +0200 | <monochrom> | So you cannot make "fix (0 :) = 0 : 0 : ..." like in Haskell, but you can still make "fix (\f -> \n -> ... fibonacci ...)" |
| 2025-05-12 05:39:40 +0200 | <ski> | fix f = (\t -> t t) (\t x -> f (t t) x) |
| 2025-05-12 05:39:36 +0200 | <monochrom> | Even in call-by-value languages, lambdas are lazy in bodies, or at least delayed, i.e., "\x -> undefined" does not cause that undefined to be evaluated, only application "(\x -> undefined) 5" does. That little delay is leveraged to make fixed point combinators and emulation of laziness. |
| 2025-05-12 05:39:33 +0200 | <ski> | fix :: ((a -> b) -> (a -> b)) -> (a -> b) |
| 2025-05-12 05:38:16 +0200 | <EvanR> | how do all these languages get recursion without lazy evaluation |
| 2025-05-12 05:36:21 +0200 | <monochrom> | True. |
| 2025-05-12 05:28:34 +0200 | <EvanR> | or else evaluating fix f necessarily freezes |
| 2025-05-12 05:28:03 +0200 | <EvanR> | true or false, to have a working fixed point construct for recursion, you need some kind of lazy evaluation |
