Idris2 VS rfcs

Have you looked into Idris2 at all. While looking into these theorum provers, it always felt like they had an impedance mismatch with normal programming.

Idris2 portends to a general purpose language that also has a more advanced type system for the theorum proving.

https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2

The original paper also does plain STLC first in section 2, and then adds dependent types in section 3. (And finally it adds the naturals in section 4.)

In the Idris2 github repository, Guillaume Allais goes a step further and shows a well-named version. There the types of terms and values are indexed by the list of names in the environment and the compiler checks that the manipulation of deBruin levels and indices is correct:

https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/blob/main/libs/papers/L...

Most of the proof assistants out there: Lean, Coq, Dafny, Isabelle, F*, Idris 2, and Agda. And the main concepts are dependent types, Homotopy Type Theory AKA HoTT, and Category Theory. Warning: HoTT and Category Theory are really dense, you're going to really need to research them.

Idris2 has a great syntax for this, see e.g. node018:

I asked because it just baffles me any time I see a dependently typed language using unary numbers. I think to myself, "are these people even educated? Do they know about number systems?" I mean, cavemen were the last group using unary number system as their mainstay, and that was during the Paleolithic. Then they have issues open like this when they discuss optimizing those damn unaries. But this shouldn't even have been a problem for anyone even remotely related to programming! It's giving a terrible impression of dependently-typed languages. Getting rid of those should be the first step of popularizing them.

addOne : Int -> EitherT String IO Int addOne x = pure $ x + 1 add : Int -> Int -> EitherT String IO Int add x y = pure $ x + y main : IO () main = do exportFn `{add} the (IO ()) $ exportFn `{addOne} -- `the (IO ())` is needed due to issue https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/issues/2851

The idea of world state is an attraction of the state that side effects change. I got the idea from Idris internals: https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/blob/main/libs/prelude/PrimIO.idr

RFC: Add large language models to Rust

https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3603

Man, SO and family has really gone downhill. That top answer is absolutely terrible. In fact, if you care, you can literally look at the RFC discussion here to see the actual debate: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/582

Basically, `for x in y` is kind of redundant, already sorta-kinda supported by itertools, and there's also a ton of macros that sorta-kinda do it already. It would just be language bloat at this point.

Literally has nothing to do with memory management.

Congrats!

> Similarly, uv does not yet generate a platform-agnostic lockfile. This matches pip-tools, but differs from Poetry and PDM, making uv a better fit for projects built around the pip and pip-tools workflows.

Do you expect to make the higher level workflow independent of requirements.txt / support a platform-agnostic lockfile? Being attached to Rye makes me think "no".

Without being platform agnostic, to me this is dead-on-arrival and unable to meet the "Cargo for Python" aim.

> uv supports alternate resolution strategies. By default, uv follows the standard Python dependency resolution strategy of preferring the latest compatible version of each package. But by passing --resolution=lowest, library authors can test their packages against the lowest-compatible version of their dependencies. (This is similar to Go's Minimal version selection.)

> uv allows for resolutions against arbitrary target Python versions. While pip and pip-tools always resolve against the currently-installed Python version (generating, e.g., a Python 3.12-compatible resolution when running under Python 3.12), uv accepts a --python-version parameter, enabling you to generate, e.g., Python 3.7-compatible resolutions even when running under newer versions.

This is great to see though!

I can understand it being a flag on these lower level, directly invoked dependency resolution operations.

While you aren't onto the higher level operations yet, I think it'd be useful to see if there is any cross-ecosystem learning we can do for my MSRV RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3537

How are you handling pre-releases in you resolution? Unsure how much of that is specified in PEPs. Its something that Cargo is weak in today but we're slowly improving.

In the early days of Rust there was a debate about whether to support "green threads" and in doing that require runtime support. It was actually implemented and included for a time but it creates problems when trying to do library or embedded code. At the time Go for example chose to go that route, and it was both nice (goroutines are nice to write and well supported) and expensive (effectively requires GC etc). I don't remember the details but there is a Rust RFC from when they removed green threads:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/0806be4f282144cfcd55b...

I did some more digging. By RFC 899, I believe Alex Crichton meant PR 899 in this repo:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/899

Still, no real discussion of why unbuffered stderr.

Rust has had a stable SIMD vector API[1] for a long time. But, it's architecture specific. The portable API[2] isn't stable yet, but you probably can't use the portable API for some of the more exotic uses of SIMD anyway. Indeed, that's true in .NET's case too[3].

Rust does all this SIMD too. It just isn't in the standard library. But the regex crate does it. Indeed, this is where .NET got its SIMD approach for multiple substring search from in the first place[4]. ;-)

You're right that Rust's standard library is conservatively vectorized though[5]. The main thing blocking this isn't the lack of SIMD availability. It's more about how the standard library is internally structured, and the fact that things like substring search are not actually defined in `std` directly, but rather, in `core`. There are plans to fix this[6].
