@PhiNotPi Why not just let 2 and 3 be the same thing?
 
I can probably auto-detect the second case, then I'll just have a keyword indicate the third. Mutable? Overwritable?
Memory efficiency.
 
Anonymous
immutable vs mutable is a good choice
 
Anonymous
I mean, why not just allow either 2 or 3 for subroutines that are overridable
 
Anonymous
Like how in Java (and other OOP languages) you can either make a proper subclass or an anonymous subclass
 
Cogol 2 is going to be an OO language?
 
11:02 PM
Very hacky OO.
 
Words cannot express how hacky this OO will be.
 
Imagine a language in which methods and classes are the same thing. That's Cogol 2.
 
@PhiNotPi Javascript?
 
11:10 PM
@Mego I'll live. :P
 
ES6's classes are just syntaxing sugar for very ugly functions returning a dict of properties
 
In Cogol, functions are just syntactic sugar for objects.
 
> It is possible to write an entire c# program on a single line with no indenting but no one in their right mind would do this
microsoft bastards
 
@Downgoat It's a sufficient but not necessary condition.
 
11:12 PM
@DestructibleWatermelon
 
nah, they're right
no one in their right mind would use c# :p
 
in The Block, 7 secs ago, by Marky Markov
@TheveryevilROFLcopter i'm sorry, worf.
Who is this worf?
 
@TheveryevilROFLcopter see my point?
 
@PhiNotPi So, functions are objects which are functions?
 
The way you get the result of a function is to construct it and then dig around in its instance variables to retrieve the answer.
 
@TheveryevilROFLcopter please go get a proper education
 
@PhiNotPi What sane language would use this system... ?
 
@Dennis oh, marky asked me to get him out. also he's having a mental breakdown
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ ;_;
 
11:18 PM
star trek is very important in this education
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Brb hell-ing it
 
halp marky markov needs medical care
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ @DJMcMayhem
 
didn't we have a therapist bot?
 
Speaking of Star Trek: I have a half sister called Belana after B'Elanna Torres.
 
@TheveryevilROFLcopter I think marky markov is hallucinating you as a klingon, and does not like you
 
@DestructibleWatermelon Seems legit
 
@Dennis hahaha
 
11:25 PM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ wat
 
persistence of portals :D
@DJMcMayhem TBH, it is pretty epic
 
Yeah. But weird
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Hey, do you wanna play something right now? I have a little bit of time
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I ran eliza for a bit in Chatgoat's Barn actually
 
11:27 PM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I'd be up for that
 
2v1 tf2 then?
me and dj vs q?
 
Sure
 
might have another friend too
not on PPCG
@DJMcMayhem when you're ready, join my game
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ can I join this game please
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ sure windows is updating right now, but I'll brt
 
11:31 PM
'Night
 
@DJMcMayhem kk
@DestructibleWatermelon where do you live? US?
and you know how to play tf2 I assume?
it's because ping, can't play with releasing/betseg because he's in turkey
 
This is a clever and sneaky lil' game. candies.aniwey.net
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ s/U/AU
 
hm, that might be a problem
we'll see
 
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΟΗʹ Thank you very much!
 
11:33 PM
;_;
 
@El'endiaStarman No, it is log(log(y)) :D
 
@DestructibleWatermelon What does that mean?
 
@flawr Duh, right. :P
 
11:34 PM
two vaguely political posts were just flagged and burninated. geez, are people like glass or something
 
@DJMcMayhem I thought everyone knew the substitution syntax?
 
Incidentally, would you ever write log^2(y) for that? I know I've done that before because it's a natural extension of cos^2(x).
 
@ConorO'Brien I think "vaguely" isn't really the right word there. :P
 
11:34 PM
@DestructibleWatermelon oh doi. I missed the 's' so I thought you meant you lived somewhere named U/AU, lol
 
@El'endiaStarman well, the second one was. the first one was passive agressive
 
@DJMcMayhem If I ever make a game or something, the main country will be U/AU
 
@El'endiaStarman Probably only if I had to use it over and over again, and I'd explicitly stat it. Usually when you just have an exponent like in cos^2(x) you mean (cos(x))^2. Repeated composition is not used very often, but if there is the context where it is used a lot, you can of course do that, but I'd explicitly say so. Another clearer notation I like for repeated composition is f^{\circ n}(x) for f(f(...f(x)...))
 
Oh right, log(log(y)) != log(y)^2. Why was I thinking that...?
 
@flawr I like the circ notation too. but how often does f^n(x) mean f(x)^n? I don't think I've ever seen that.
 
11:45 PM
@ConorO'Brien That is used a lot in my experience. Especially when the argument of the function is simple and you omit the parenthesis: e.g. cos^2 x means (cos(x))^2, just to avoid confusion with cos(x^2).
 
sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1 doesn't come up often? :P
 
wait cos^2(x) means cos(x)^2?
 
^ yes these are probably the examples that are used most often
 
I don't do much trig
 
@ConorO'Brien yes
 
11:45 PM
oh.
 
When you get to differential equations, you'll be seeing trig functions again. :P
 
I just don't like the cos(x)^2 notation.
@El'endiaStarman And a lot of other dirty stuff
 
Ugh, yes.
 
CMC: make a Brain-Flak loop that runs in polynomial (or greater) time without using the [...] monad
 
@El'endiaStarman I don't like calculus :I too applied
 
11:51 PM
I never really saw calculus as being applied.
 
well, that's what my teacher says it is >_<
 
Hm calculus alone is not very applied, but it one of the field in math whose results are used most often everywhere else.
(i.e. physics or engineering)
