The gardeners you can trust npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: https://media.dsmc.space/d8/de/84/d8de8468ba6826aca8b77da9ee37c0049083ca04a42576e6911195c3cf759dfa.png?name=image.png npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: so I found the hard parts of abstracting an expander to be extensible within the language.
let’s discuss macro/function application responsibility. In a Scheme you’re usually going to find an expander that has a few phases it goes through; it might do a lexical first pass before doing any expanding just to build a table of symbols, it might apply all phase-0 transformers across the entire file first before beginning phase-1+ recursive macro applications, and it can do this because the reader ensured everything was prepared for the expectations the expander has to meet for the runtime environment, and for most languages that set of runtime environment expectations are basically hard-coded by a spec. The EBNF grammar and syntax. Precedence. Things as simple as “how does function application work? how does looking up a member on a package work?” these are all set in stone and it makes implementing the language yourself remarkably straightforward after the spec-implementation has been finished. After all, that spec has been proven by other code.
But what if those were just the sane, minimal defaults? What if you needed access to these fundamentals? Well, as it turns out, there are entire research papers on these kinds of questions. There’s two big concepts: Resolution, and Claims. Everyone knows resolution; resolution is what happens when you use a variable name somewhere and the interpreter/compiler has to walk a tree of scopes to find where it’s owned and in what table the value is stored in. Claims, on the other hand, are kind of the opposite; you don’t have a lexical tree of things assigned, but you do have a list of patterns which can “claim” a syntax pattern: it’s only when no protocol claims that pattern that you actually reach an error or diagnostic. I think this is a really cool thing, especially when it can exist as part of a Resolution algorithm.
And what this gives me in return are the following interfaces for my protocols (rough, not finalized):
```
operator %:precedence 65 * x y -> mul x y
handler (_ module . fname) do
# if package contains fname, apply it
# otherwise, fall through to method-missing
end
inspector do
# not yet specced, but basically reflection on the protocol itself
end
``` npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: so this entire time I’ve been developing a language and I’ve been calling it a shell language but I think at this point the only way to make the language right is to actually separate the language from the shell on the seam where it matters: extensibility. I’m not going completely into Racket territory but we’re certainly studying the same papers — making the shell functionality something importable rather than core. The language doesn’t necessarily change but given I already have both datums and syntax of the AST I can freely manipulate without breaking scope using macro transformers, the real problem I’m facing is that the parser and expander themselves aren’t extensible in the places I need them to be extensible. I can’t change precedence or insert new primitives into the precedence tree; I can’t define new reader forms for symbols at compile-time, and I can’t change how things like function resolution work.
There’s a really interesting case here for a vm that can run purely, can run as a shell, can run make-like scripts, maybe even get funky with it and make the process model or the io model pluggable. But first I have to disentangle the shell from the language which, well, kinda sucks since that’s what I originally set out to do. npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: back hurts. can’t sleep. choosing violence:

I fear this scenario npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: How does that cool breeze feel against your bare chest, there? npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: So, if currying is constructing your functions such that (f a b c) curries to (((f a) b) c) and all those internal functions are just partials waiting for application, then absorption is the opposite end of that; given a fixed arity f/3, (f a b c d) would absorb to ((f a b c) d).
I have a theory about currying and absorption in the same language. npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: on to iteration I lost count.

I go out of my way to find snacks I can put in front of myself for short-term energy or to stave off the stomach from bitching, but they have to be rather distinct from meal-foods. npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: Yay! ants on a log. npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: peanut butter and raisins rolled up in lettuce. npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: maybe. I should let you write a grammar, see if I can make it work. that would be a fun exercise npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: grid is a good word, but I might save that for something else. Structs of Arrays are really efficient memory structures, I’m probably going to call my structures “records”, and then optimized structures-of-arrays — I think that’s a grid. npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: I think so. There’s all sorts of synonyms but there’s also this legacy of words used and striking the balance takes work.
functions that take functions as arguments are really, really important to me, and “map” is like the fundamental higher-order function (or rather, apply and reduce are, since you can make map with both of those, but still) so calling {a: 1, b: 2} a “map” in my language creates a conflict. npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: actually now i’m curious, so poll.

The protestants are actually quite amazing at this — the hymnals that everyone knows, the christian rock that became memes, the evangelical worship songs, they might have their cringe but they still accomplish their goals of (somewhat forcefully) walking you into thinking in those metaphors and first principles.
I still have the song, “Count your blessings, count them one by one….” in my head to this day. Same with some hymns. Heavy-handed implementations of the same kind of practical learning. npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: I dunno. I have no faith in the standard education system because I was more than failed by it. But practice and experience has done everything for my own education; like, math was always easy in school because I had to already know the concepts to do programming stuff. But I was also one of those midwits when I was in my teens. This is how humans develop — slotting in personas and testing them out is part of the learning process and I wouldn’t want to shit on anyone for doing that. But it can happen much earlier, with much simpler first principles, so that later it doesn’t become pathological. npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: That sounds great in theory, but in practice you have to fit learning in ordered time; there’s a reason college is such a good financial trap for people. Is it wise to give people a copy of Kierkegaard if they haven’t been taught or learned themselves to distinguish or compartmentalize between their own thoughts and the thoughts of others once they’re in the same brain? That isn’t something that just comes naturally to people, it takes practice and if you didn’t practice it in your teens it would be very easy to think you know everything by reading the 1800’s equivalent of Death Cab for Cutie npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: my strange obsession with everything south and west of the Arkansas River from 1753 to 1899.

but it’s also literally why I set out to do it, I wanted to see if I could keep POSIX sh but give my shell superpowers. npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: it really is just a stupid idea; elixir’s syntax can be borrowed to create a superset of POSIX sh, and I found that interesting and I wanted to see how far I could take it. As it turns out, I can take it pretty far. I was able to borrow await, spawn, spawn_link, and supervise from elixir, but with the os process model instead of the erlang actor model. npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: yeah, I’m calling it ish because i’ve heard so many fucking youtubers censor themselves by saying “ish” instead of “shit” npub1ldv5uxnaeunccxx86c3utfg7csdtv2k9e65x24xhp2wxj9t9zcdshepcqp :seven: :seven: :seven: also good morning dead spacemen

They grew up in the same Glendale/Glendora diaspora community in LA that I grew up around, though at different times obvs. Literally every father was a successful small businessman of some sort; donuts, 1hr photos, corner groceries, and they had multiple stores.
