Wait, what is
{1,2} + 2
, you ask?Simple: it is just
{1+2,2+2}={3,4}
.Similarly,
{...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...} * {2,3} = {...,-9,-8,-6,-4,-3,-2,0,2,3,4,6,8,9,...}
.It's just that set monad or ambiguous choice that you thought might be cool.
But sets are types, so this means you can do type-level arithmetic; (2 * Integer) * 3 = (6 * Integer)
Of course, this probably makes the type system undecidable... but I certainly don't care!
This is derivative of Array-Oriented Programming.
ReplyDeleteDerived, maybe. Arrays can't be infinite.
