16:43 < barce> @niklas` i’m writing a connect4 game, and noticed that when i traverse
\n diagonals acutely or gravely, the only diff between the functions is their
\n operators: “>=” or “<=\".\n16:43 < barce> “++” or “–”
\n16:44 < barce> so instead of if ($x < $limit) $x++; i want to define an operator before \n hand.\n16:44 < barce> e.g. $op = “++”; if ($x < $limit) $x{$op};\n16:44 <+impl> so you save one line of code?
\n16:45 <@horros> Now why the hell would you want to do that?
\n16:45 <@feti> i’m successfully confused
\n16:45 < barce> ya. why not?
\n16:45 <+impl> because it’s stupid
\n16:45 < barce> why is it stupid?
\n16:45 <+impl> Because you would have to implement runtime operator resolution so that you
\n don’t have to have an else { } block
\n16:45 < barce> not being curious is stupid.
\n16:46 < barce> right.
\n16:46 < barce> that would be pretty hard to do.
\n16:46 <@horros> No, being curious is good.
\n16:46 < barce> so i’m asking if there’s a language like that.
\n16:46 <+impl> I’m sure you could nigger rig it in ruby<\/p>\n
Please, come on down to #php irc.he.net and let this impl dude know what a blight to humanity he is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
