Re: [elm-discuss] Improve Elm docs.

Key-value pairs is a misnomer. Records are name-value pairs, the same way that you can give names to members of a Python objects. So while the docs need to be fixed, I think the use of the term "key-value" pair is the problem. In Python, you can do myObject.foo, but not myObject."foo" or myObject.

Re: [elm-discuss] Improve Elm docs.

This is true, but I think in the docs, they are talk about the way of thinking of the records and not the access part. Because if this is the case we can say it's also similar to java object, we also access their variables with the dot notation. And PHP and C++ are a bit similar, but instead of a

Re: [elm-discuss] Improve Elm docs.

Hi Nir and welcome to Elm, I also come from Python and I consider the statement to be correct. Please notice that the word "similar" is used not "exactly". For accessing purposes, Elm records behave similar enough to python objects. If I have a python object with the fields "name" and "surname" I

[elm-discuss] Re: I dislike the names of certain standard library functions.

It's great that Elm can appeal to new programmers, but it's mainly targeting web developers. As such, things like max/min, ||/&&, and "string" are going to stick around. No need to reinvent what's been standard(-ish) since C. The biggest name annoyance, IMHO, is *filter*. It doesn't immediately

There're a few good suggestions there. One thing that caught my eye was 5a, (List.singleton). No lambda is needed singleton is just the function repeat 1. But yeah, consistency with the other collection types would be nice. (And I'm sure #6 is a non-starter let's give beginners some cre

[elm-discuss] Re: I dislike the names of certain standard library functions.

I think it does more harm to redefine existing functions like `take` and `drop` which exist in other languages. Instead, it always seems better to introduce new names or reuse existing ones. Elm does seem to have an issue with not only an ultra-conservative standard library but also an inconsis

[elm-discuss] Re: List.sortBy browser dependance?

A workaround I’ve used to get stable sorting in Javascript is to add an artificial index, sort with that as a secondary sort parameter, and then strip that index off from the result. To sort a list of int-pairs in Elm it could go like this: stableSort : List (Int, Int) -> List (Int, Int) stab

You're right. I was assuming that the problem was that we get different behaviors in different browsers. If your goal is to have identical results on all platforms, use sortWith and specify a comparison function that never returns EQ. But if your goal is to preserve the original order when elemen

For a workaround, all you need to do is use List.sortWith instead. sortBy uses JavaScript's native array sorting function under the hood. The JS function is documented as being unstable (order not preserv
