| 22:30 | <pokute> | We could do Records and Tuples better by not introducing any new characters at all: { ... ] for records and [ ... } for tuples. If you disagree with this, we'll go with swapped syntax instead. |
| 22:42 | <ljharb> | how would that be better |
| 22:43 | <ljharb> | that'd make likely mismatching bugs suddenly become valid syntax with wildly different semantics |
| 22:47 | <jschoi> | Reminds me of the [a, b) and (a, b] notations for intervals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(mathematics)#Notations_for_intervals |
| 22:47 | <jschoi> | Incidentally, those are two of my least favorite math syntaxes, haha. |
| 22:48 | <jschoi> | Sorry, Pokute, I don’t think it’s a good idea, but it was worth a shot. : ) |
| 22:50 | <TabAtkins> | ljharb: you, uh, might be missing the tongue that's in the cheek there |
| 22:51 | <pokute> | Well, I was a bit late coming up with it. |
| 22:54 | <ljharb> | lol i clearly did miss it |
