Re: [elm-discuss] Proposal: rename foldl til foldLeft and foldr to foldRight

That is a fair point, actually. I think the idea of aliasing the functions on 0.18 might be a good temporary measure which would allow the community to get used to the new function names without breaking any code and then the old ones can be removed in a later version. On Tuesday, October 25,

[elm-discuss] Re: zip function in the standard library

I Had that reaction at first also, however I don't mind so much now cause you do see map2 appear in other core packages (e.g Task), so the change must be for consistency. Much as I dislike function names with numbers in them like 'map2', 'zip' doesn't work well everywhere. In other words, it

Re: [elm-discuss] why no more primes on 0.18 ?

Yeah comparing underscore length seems inferior to counting back ticks.. Maybe that was the idea? to discourage the use of double/triple primes etc and steer people to a more point free style? The 0.18 migration guidance does not mention anything like that though On Sunday, 23 October 2016 18:

[elm-discuss] RSS Feed for Elm Packages

Just a random thought, might it be interesting to have a RSS Feed from the elm package library. Something to show new packages and updates etc. I figure it would be nice to have a way to know what is new and interesting in the community Zach -- Zach Kessin SquareTarget

Re: [elm-discuss] why no more primes on 0.18 ?

The primes I currently use mostly in msg' and in model' in update functions. It will take some getting used to, but not too bad I guess. I agree that newModel or similar is easier to read, so probably an improvement. The backticks like in `andThen` I won't miss. It is probably more consistent a

Yeah but it does beg the question whether type'' should become type__ and of course suggesting a possible hell scenario when this goes further: type__, type___, type ?! Or, is that considered a code smell anyway so it should not be catered for? On Wednesday, 26 October 2016 12:29:10 UTC+

[elm-discuss] Re: Proposal: rename foldl til foldLeft and foldr to foldRight

I think aliasing would just push the problem further into the future. At some point breakage would have to happen, there's no reason to not having it being done right now. It's not like your code base will be any smaller when the aliasing is removed. True, the change should be reflected in simi

[elm-discuss] Re: Proposal: rename foldl til foldLeft and foldr to foldRight

Evan has said that the best time to make breaking changes is right now. He's also said that he likes to batch changes, so they're easier for him to work on and make more sense when adopted as a community. For example, flipping andThen and removing backticks go together. -- You received this me

[elm-discuss] Re: Is there any way to use a type instead of a string for the value of an option

I think this points to a more general use case. I think it would be useful to be able to use union types a bit like enums in other languages (my background is mostly Java). For example having type Role = Admin | Moderator | User it would be cool to get something like: Role.optionNames == [

[elm-discuss] Re: Is there any way to use a type instead of a string for the value of an option

That sounds like a typeclass or a HPT, neither of which are in Elm (yet?). Passing in manual serialization/deserialization functions is easy to do though. :-) On Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at 10:32:18 AM UTC-6, Martin Cerny wrote: > > I think this points to a more general use case. I think it

Yeah, aliases make easy to write, but harder to read and learn, since a user might have only ever seen one and might not know what the other does. On Wed, Oct 26, 2016 at 11:42 AM, Mike MacDonald wrote: > Aliases could also remain forever, so people could choose which they > prefer. However, th
