@flawr Squarefree is indeed still used in English. Especially in number theory.

hey, I realized that my literal collection syntax was ambiguous with other statements. Which of the following do you guys prefer for lists, sets, dictionaries:

1. [] or list:[], set:[], dict:[]
2. [] or l:[], s:[], d:[]
3. {} or l{}, s{}, d{}
4. {} or list{}, set{}, dict{}
5. Something else
(to be clear, set[] or s[] or s() or set() are all ambiguous, so don't work for #5)

@flawr The German word? Not that I know of.

@NathanMerrill I like 4 the best. It seems like the syntax could be generalized too
Nathan Merrill
Nathan Merrill
yeah. Generalization would be awesome, but it gets hard when dealing with dictionaries

dict {{key, value}...}?
Nathan Merrill
Nathan Merrill
no, it'll be dict{key:value, ...} but the problem comes when you ask "What does the constructor look like?"
I could pass a list of tuples
but then you need to create a gazillion tuples
I could make special type syntax that allows for alternating variadic arguments
but that seems like a lot of complexity for a single use case

Hrm.

I mean, for my built-in dictionary I can just do magic
but if I do want to make it generalized and allow everybody to use the {} syntax, I'd want to make it possible with both lists and dictionaries

Pi day is my least favorite day on youtube
