Gordon, it took me a bit of digging through various docs and updates on elm-dev to understand it, but... the rational for deprecating elm-core/lazy with memoization, is that it allowed recursive structures to be created on the heap, and all other ways in which that was possible have been eliminated. This is all described here: https://gist.github.com/evancz/07436448b7d6c947f21742dab46d1218 It seems to be partly motivated by making garbage collection simpler - presumably with WebAssembly in mind. I honestly don't know much of a real advantage that is, but it seems that was the trade-off decision that has already been made. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
