08:57 | <naugtur> | Slides for new Global https://github.com/endojs/proposal-new-global/tree/main/slidessome further clarifications pending. I'm new here, so any amount of kind feedback on what's worth adding/explaining will be appreciated. |
09:43 | <bakkot> | @naugtur:matrix.org: for new proposals it's best to focus on the problem to be solved, rather than a particular solution |
09:46 | <bakkot> | People may not remember Evaluators, so the comparison to that proposal isn't enough on its own |
17:26 | <TabAtkins> | naugtur: Yes to what bakkot said, tho I do generally see the obvious niceties of isolated test-runner or isolation environments. I don't understand how this has relevance to DSLs, tho, but that's the first bullet point on the motivation slide |
18:02 | <naugtur> | TabAtkins: the testrunner's API is the DSL in question - describe, it etc. - where the testing code is in a special global contour that should not be visible to the app sources being tested. |
18:07 | <TabAtkins> | Ahh, that's not what I usually think of when I hear DSL and evaluation contexts being mentioned together. Ok. |
