2026-01-15 16:26:33 +0100 <thenightmail> I'm not fully grasping it, maybe x == y == z is what they are referring to, but I will move on for now in case it makes sense later with more context. thanks for the answers

2026-01-15 16:21:34 +0100 <thenightmail> i see, this question is a problem from a book. the hint is to 'write down the simplest expression you can think of that would require the associativity rules to resolve the precedence of comparison operators and try to make sense of it'
2026-01-15 16:21:22 +0100 <chromoblob> and authors of language didn't think that it would be a good idea to forego rule and special-case these operators so that it means what you want it to mean

2026-01-15 16:20:10 +0100 <chromoblob> because the result of one comparing is a Bool, thus you would next compare this Bool to another operand

2026-01-15 16:19:21 +0100 <chromoblob> to actually answer: x == y == z is banned because it cannot have the meaning it seems to have
2026-01-15 16:17:58 +0100 <chromoblob> how would inequality associativity be useful

2026-01-15 16:13:16 +0100 <thenightmail> why is there no associativity for equality, inequality and comparison operators
