@Dennis do you think that there can be an elegant tacit programming language, using full words as identifiers (e.g. like Python)?

Helka Homba

If I could be one of these users on PPCG, I'd be ______.

orlp

@HelkaHomba why am I not on the list :(

Helka Homba

Not in a top 10 :/

Maltysen

@orlp imo Pyth is pretty elegant, except for that everything is one character

and the overloads

Dennis

Pyth isn't tacit though.

Doorknob

@HelkaHomba there would be no way to enforce that anyway

Helka Homba

@Doorknob If it wasn't you then who? I'd say Sp or Martin.

Dennis

@orlp I do, but elegance it entirely subjective. mean := sum ÷ length looks elegant to me.

orlp

@Dennis yes, but there has to be some logic to it

Maltysen

@QPaysTaxes the epitome of beauty

Quill

4:06 AM

SHOUT LANGUAGES ARE THE BEST

orlp

@Dennis I'm missing the logical consistent pattern in the chain rules

mean := sum / length looks underspecified to me

Dennis

There is. The right side is S÷L in Jelly. In a monadic chain, dyad-monad is a fork, and the monad at the beginning in an atop, so you get div(sum(arg), length(arg)).

Maltysen

@Quill DELETE FROM users WHERE like_shout_langs = TRUE

orlp

@Dennis but why is a dyad-monad in a monadic chain a fork?

Quill

0/10 inconsistent table&column cases

orlp

4:08 AM

is there some fundamental rule that allows you to logically derive the chain rules?

I don't see it, they seem ad-hoc to me

Maltysen

@Quill hmm? aren't they all lowercase?

Quill

there we go

it's more common to use UpperCamelCase for SQL tables, but meh

Maltysen

yeah, i only SQL a little

Helka Homba

Coderpad anyone? coderpad.io/APW66JWD

orlp

compare it to lisp, (define mean (a) (div (sum a) (len a))), there is a consistent and logical explanation of what applies to what

in haskell there is currying, which allows some things to be written in a point-free style, which is also logical and consistent

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

4:11 AM

hai

orlp

e.g. + 5 is a monadic function that adds 5 to whatever it gets called on

Dennis

@orlp No, there isn't. The chains could be defined in an entirely different manner. In effect, (fg)(y) in the atop f(g(y)) in APL, but the hook f(y, g(y)) in J.

orlp

but I don't see the logic or consistency in Jelly

I'm thinking about reviving Pyth5 a bit but experimenting with currying

Dennis

Sounds interesting. Any concrete ideas?

orlp

not yet, I have to figure it out in my head

Productivity is measured as: "Productivity is measured by comparing the amount of goods and services produced with the inputs which were used in production". Here, that would be zero so productivity per second would cause a divide by zero error

hrm, now when considering +8*5M I'm starting to see where the chain rules come from

directly translated into currying that'd be lambda x: map(plus(8)(multiply)(5), x) which is nonsensical

Dennis

This is the intended interpretation, yes?

orlp

@Dennis correct

Anonymous

It makes sense to me, looking at it like a stack-based language with implicit inputs and vectorized operations. 5*8+ with input [1, 2, 3] would produce map(lambda x:5*x+8, [1, 2, 3])

Anonymous

Seriously works the exact same way for that example (plus an explicit input because implicit input is only in v2)

El'endia Starman

Triangle inequality.

Jester Tran

@El'endiaStarman I don't see how that helps

orlp

your question is the same as sqrt(a) + sqrt(b) >= sqrt(a + b) for positive real a, b

since a = p^2 + q^2, and b = r^2 + s^2

and squared real numbers are positive

if you then square both sides

you get

2*sqrt(ab) + a + b >= a + b

which is obviously true for positive real a, b
