| 14:19 | <bradleymeck> | seriously considering proposing `from "" import {...};` , just to see if it is possible to get through committee |
| 14:49 | <bradleymeck> | why not https://github.com/bmeck/proposal-from-import |
| 14:55 | <devsnek> | bradleymeck: plsno |
| 14:56 | <bradleymeck> | devsnek: i put up proposals to get final words on if we are willing to do things. even if we fail to agree, it means we can at least point to actual conclusions rather than social debate |
| 14:56 | <bradleymeck> | i think its fine to add, but certainly kind of :( to add duplicate forms |
| 14:56 | <bradleymeck> | import code completion does suck currently |
| 14:56 | <devsnek> | I don't understand the asi problem |
| 14:56 | <devsnek> | the from in an import declaration can only be part of that import declaration |
| 14:57 | <bradleymeck> | `from\n"x"\nimport\nx\n` |
| 14:57 | <devsnek> | where's the asi problem in that |
| 14:58 | <bradleymeck> | from "x" could be identifier, string |
| 14:58 | <devsnek> | we can tell asi not to put semicolons there |
| 14:58 | <bradleymeck> | devsnek: we cannot change ASI, thats been talked about quite a bit |
| 14:58 | <bradleymeck> | you can change where newlines are allowed |
| 14:59 | <devsnek> | we have consensus that disallowing asi in unambiguous productions is a bad thing? |
| 15:00 | <bradleymeck> | i don't know what that means |
| 15:00 | <devsnek> | like |
| 15:00 | <bradleymeck> | but we have strong anti-consensus on changing ASI |
| 15:00 | <devsnek> | you can't confuse that block of code for anything except what it is |
| 15:00 | <devsnek> | asi wouldn't even produce valid code would it |
| 15:00 | <bradleymeck> | but you don't know that until you read the full syntax production? |
| 15:00 | <devsnek> | actually isn't that one of the requirements |
| 15:01 | <devsnek> | adding the semicolon can't cause a syntax error |
| 15:02 | <bradleymeck> | correct, but from;"x"; is valid |
| 15:03 | <devsnek> | from isn't reserved? |
| 15:04 | <bradleymeck> | nope |
| 15:04 | <devsnek> | :( |
| 15:19 | <bradleymeck> | we could always add \ as a "DONT ASI ME MY FRIEND" before newlines I believe, which is equally sad |
| 16:05 | <jmdyck> | devsnek: "adding a semicolon can't cause a syntax error" is not an ASI requirement |
| 16:07 | <devsnek> | asi is a bug |
| 16:08 | <Bakkot> | devsnek unfortunately https://www.hyrumslaw.com/ |
| 16:09 | <devsnek> | lol |
