| 00:05 | <sirisian> | bakkot: I never considered that f<a>() syntax issue. For some reason I thought there was a clever workaround. It can't use context, so a different syntax would need to be used entirely? Not sure if you follow TS stuff, did they talk about that a lot? |
| 00:06 | <sirisian> | I should have figured given Actionscript 3's design and the whole Vector.<T> syntax. |
| 00:56 | <bakkot> | any attempt to actually pull in TS syntax for types would need to choose a different syntax for generic invocation, yes |
| 00:57 | <bakkot> | I wasn't there when TS syntax was originally chosen but I imagine they didn't think it actually mattered given how they intended TS to be used, which was entirely reasonable of them |
| 13:34 | <Ashley Claymore> | The more recent conversations in types-as-comments have thought about using "turbo-fish" for passing a type parameter. `new Map::<number, number>()` |
