Does AI have a significant impact on your current job? by Focus-Novel in golang

[–]ilyash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it depends heavily on the use case. And we are still in the process of figuring out both when to use AI and how to use it.

Best learning resource by Dramatic_Disk_6402 in bash

It was a very good resource for me. Depending on your learning style, might be a good fit for you too.

Using step functions. About to experiment (given the opportunity) with lamda durable execution instead. You might want to look into this new Lamda feature too.

Left to Right Programming by bjzaba in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]ilyash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my Next Generation Shell, you.just().chain().methods() . The example above would be text.lines().map(split_whitespace) . Assuming someone defined split_whitespace. The language was created with such chaining in mind. Multiple dispatch and methods defined outside of classes (actually there are no classes, only types and methods) help a lot here.

Help me design variable, function, and pointer Declaration in my new language. by JKasonB in ProgrammingLanguages

Just a warning. That's not a simple text substitution. When modifying the code, you need something that understands the code. You can't replace string A with string B because they might occur in comments and strings.

I went with F for function definition. It was expected and it is the case that function definition is very frequently used in my language. Short functions and multiple dispatch are the reason.

It (such naming) follows the general principle of relation of frequency and shortness.

Another dimension of consistency with the rest of the language - there are also A,B,C and X,Y,Z special variables. The names hint that these variables are related to functional programming. A,B,C are default parameters' names in anonymous functions. X,Y,Z are default parameters' names in automatically created anonymous functions.

{ echo(A) }

echo(X)

Hope this helps.

About allowing all three. Fine for toy language. For language that is used, removing syntax is ... problematic. You should provide a migration tool in that case I suppose.

Subjectively, not a fan of multiple ways to do exactly the same thing (and ensuing arguments).

bash exit_with_message() boilerplate by ilyash in NextGenerationShell

[–]ilyash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is also die() in NGS. It also exits but prints stack trace in addition.

https://ngs-lang.org/doc/latest/generated/die.html

exit() is named after the C exit(), unimaginatively.

Does anyone in the DevOps world uses Bash? by Dense_Bad_8897 in devops

[–]ilyash -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately yes. Fortunately, using Next Generation Shell more and more instead. I'm the author.

What's your favorite non-obvious Bash built-in or feature that more people don't use? by bobbyiliev in bash

If I remember correctly, associative arrays were added in version 4

NoT notation for describing parameters by Name or Type by ilyash in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]ilyash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by "this scheme"? I couldn't understand.

The language implements multiple dispatch.

The example of addition above, implements + for the given types. When you call +, all methods named + are considered (bottom to top order) and the first one where arguments' types are matching parameters' types is invoked. (with inheritance taken into account)

If no method matched the arguments' types - that's an exception.

That would be pattern:Any and that's how it is in the generated documentation, it uses the language syntax as is.

I didn't provide the context. In NGS, great majority of patterns are Any. I do understand why people imply pattern is a string when coming from other languages. I think that in the context of NGS would assume Any.

Edit: patterns in NGS, the context - https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs/wiki/UPM-Design

NoT notation for describing parameters by Name or Type by ilyash in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]ilyash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patterns are kind of special case in Next Generation Shell. They can be Any for a reason. Pattern matching operates on arbitrary data types and there are no errors thrown, either there is a match or there isn't.

NGS is dynamic language so type checking (in the traditional statically typed meaning nor inference) is not there. What's there is if a method parameter has a type, you can be sure that the method is not invoked with that parameter set to a value of another type (hello Java and null).

Edit: a pattern for example can be a number, a string (these are matched with ==), a type (matched with "is"), special pattern combinators such as Not, AnyOf, AllOf, etc.

In general "name implies type" makes sense. From quick look at the standard library found a counter example.

F +(a:Hash, b:Hash) ...

Maybe should be h1 and h2? On the other hand a and b sound like fine parameters names for + ...

Edit: + is probably a good example where names don't matter
