@joe@f.duriansoftware.com @zwarich@hachyderm.io @slava@mathstodon.xyz I was thinking of a "suspend" and "resume" pair of basis operations for an object, where in between the object is a bag of bits that can be freely moved, hashed, etc
The state of tech 2026 is best summarized by "The company travel booking tool keeps randomly redirecting to Microsoft Copilot 365 because something in the SSO is broken."

There's a reason that in German you don't check your bag, you do "Gepäck aufgeben", which literally means "give up your bag".

The big three US airlines are United, Delta, and American. Missed opportunity for Delta to call itself States.

@Sdowney@mastodon.social So you want a history like:
- Add new feature X (doesn't compile yet)
- Fix prerequisite feature Y that was required
- Continue work on X
- Fix typo in the documentation
over
- Fix feature Y in the edge case E
- Add new feature X
And I'll be talking about allternatives, contravariant functors, and lenses!

@zwarich@hachyderm.io @dotstdy@mastodon.social @ianh@mastodon.social @joe@f.duriansoftware.com Related, but why isn't first class multiple return values a thing more often?
For example, the C++26 standard library has senders/receivers which essentially work via continuations, so you can write async functions that take N inputs and M outputs natively without resorting to tuples. You can even send outputs of different types without having to box them into a sum type (because they just statically dispatch to different overloads).
I'll be there, hope to see you too!

@zwarich@hachyderm.io @joe@f.duriansoftware.com @slava@mathstodon.xyz Yeah. Or maybe there's some lazily updated state that you can compute or something.
