Max: when is a 7-element tuple more useful than a record with named fields? For > any purpose, not just comparison?
Is this “not just comparison” meant in an ironic way? Records with named fields are not comparable, so if you were to suggest they should be used in place of 7-tuples for comparison (among other things), that would seem odd. In other words, maybe the attraction to use tuples instead of records sometimes has to do with the fact that tuples are comparable while records are not. And then, of course, after 6-tuples that stops to be true, because even tuples are not comparable anymore from 7 onwards. Which can then lead to disappointment. But saying “you shouldn’t even have used 6-tuples in the first place” then is not appropriate, if using tuples was forced because comparable was needed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
