This led to a great deal of discussion. This week, a subthread started by TSa continued from Darren Duncan's previous post which proposed distinct operators for integer division/modulus and non-integer division/modulus. TSa felt that modulus should be defined by the Euclidean definition. Mark J. Reed proposed to define it in the conventional way. Several other people replied to the thread. - date_from: 1168030046 date_to: 1168146085 hidden: ~ message_id: 7ca3f0160701051247y49b1ac83k35ded2650c0263c2@mail.gmail.com messages: - 20070105224846.GA27560@wall.org - 20070106020835.GA32243@wall.org - cda42dbb0701062101m7507a5bdxe65ac857a666b1d2@mail.gmail.com - ef30550b0701061849r5f0d6c28sc6649cb1a96c5c17@mail.gmail.com - 20070107052843.GA2886@wall.org - ef30550b0701070333u721438fcg5cb84eb730c316e9@mail.gmail.com - 20070107152328.GA26200@wall.org posters: - email: lrpalmer@gmail.com name: Luke Palmer - email: larry@wall.org name: Larry Wall - email: ashley.winters@gmail.com name: Ashley Winters - email: dataweaver@gmail.com name: Jonathan Lang subject: Patterns summary: |- Luke Palmer suggested removing two items from the smart match table in S03, namely the Hash and Array with Any on the right side. He preferred an extensible `~~` operator, which would allow him to define his own patterns. In short, with his proposal, `~~` would be singly-dispatched based upon the right argument, which would determine how the left was interpreted. Larry Wall replied that he was concerned about the consistency between compile time and run time, but that was in fact also an argument against an anonymous Any on the right. Jonathan Lang had some suggestions on how to implement reverse test instances. There was a brief discussion between Jonathan and Larry on this subject. Ashley Winters also offered a comment. - date_from: 1168122157 date_to: 1168122157 hidden: small correction message_id: 20070106232230.59551CBA1B@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: luqui@cvs.perl.org name: luqui subject: '[svn:perl6-synopsis] r13512 - doc/trunk/design/syn' summary: '' - date_from: 1168122540 date_to: 1168122540 hidden: small correction message_id: 20070106232855.3F4ECCBA1B@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: luqui@cvs.perl.org name: luqui subject: '[svn:perl6-synopsis] r13513 - doc/trunk/design/syn' summary: '' - date_from: 1168122796 date_to: 1168122796 hidden: small correction message_id: 20070106233310.318EACBA1B@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: luqui@cvs.perl.org name: luqui subject: '[svn:perl6-synopsis] r13514 - doc/trunk/design/syn' summary: '' - date_from: 1168156240 date_to: 1168276902 hidden: ~ message_id: 20070107085032.5D651CBA1B@x12.develooper.com messages: - 20070107130409.GD6402@plum.flirble.org - 7ca3f0160701070342lfbdc63aj312bd69883addf68@mail.gmail.com - 20070107182008.GA29535@wall.org - 45A279C6.9030005@barco.com - 20070108172126.GA2977@wall.org posters: - email: larry@cvs.perl.org name: larry - email: nick@ccl4.org name: Nicholas Clark - email: lrpalmer@gmail.com name: Luke Palmer - email: larry@wall.org name: Larry Wall - email: Thomas.Sandlass@barco.com name: TSa subject: '[svn:perl6-synopsis] r13515 - doc/trunk/design/syn' summary: |- Larry Wall committed a change to S03 which affects smartmatching.
