Hi Andrew, I don't think there are any direct obstacles to doing the same with extensible records, but I think extensible records also have no advantages, produce code that is IMHO slightly harder to read, and could introduce some problems in larger codebases. Note that OOP game engines I've w

@Bob H & @Andrew R: Thank you. @Janis: It's likely that we could continue to produce extensions/refactors to each other's examples for eternity (which isn't a bad thing, I don't think this is a waste of time at all). In the case of such a `munge` in your example, yeah, following a "factor out c

My main hesitation about reddit is that, even on the best-case subs like /r/rust, newcomer posts tends to get downvoted or ignored. Here, if a newcomer posts a basic question, many people will ignore them, but the poster doesn't know that. Someone will post a solution, or a link to one, and they w

Thinking of drawing up a list of events, dates and places where Elm will be on the menu in 2017. Would people be interested in contributing what they know to build up the list? Also, I have a feeling someone may already have done this, in which case point me to it. -- You received this message

Hi Rupert, I'm the author of elm-events.org. As you can see, it's looking pretty empty at the moment! I've been manually maintaining the upcoming talks and workshops and go to some effort to find a conference logo, speaker images, do cropping, etc, so it can't really be automated. This is an ex

elm-conf 2017 is coming back on September 28. That one might qualify. ;) Haven't announced more "formally" yet because we need to redo the website first to be more informative. On Thursday, January 5, 2017 at 10:49:08 PM UTC-5, Michael B wrote: > > Hi Rupert, > > I'm the author of elm-events.org
