@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilCan't deny that!16:58:35
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)That's exactly why we need to burn it and start over with something manageable: a single fixpoint16:59:43
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)Each layer of fixpoint is expected to interact with each other layer. If they don't, that's a bug17:00:35
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)Let me refine that: if they completely don't, it's a missing feature that someone will want to use, in which case they'll write a partial implementation, which has bugs, because it doesn't interact with some of the other layers.17:01:31
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilAgreed. I don't want to stop others from trying to make small improvements, but personally I want to invest my energy into more future-proof designs17:05:55
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilThere needs to be a balance though, can't always jump into all the rabbit holes..17:06:35
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)I don't think the incremental improvements/fixes are particularly easy, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend to make them, but I won't stop those either21:49:49
