My enhancement request was for the array[$] syntax. The idea of
[]s was invented by someone else (Timothee Cour?).
I like the practical comments by Hara. If Kenji thinks the []s is
not useful for efficiency (because the efficiency can be obtained
with just improvements of the compiler), then the []s syntax
becomes less necessary.
On the other hand this is an interesting use case that compiler
improvements alone could not be enough to allow:
void fun(int[3]) {}
void main() {
int[3] x = [1, 2, 3];
fun(x); // OK
fun([1, 2, 3]); // error
fun([1, 2, 3]s); // OK
}
Are vector ops supported?
int[6] a;
a = [1,2,3]s[] + [4,5,6]s[];
DIP34 is still a draft, and it shows, some corner cases are
missing in that document and need to be found, fleshed out and
added to the DIP34.
