Actually, now that I think back on it, that was a silly suggestion. Question... Anyone want automatic promotion when using type annotations? Honest question. It seems like people have only asked to _not_ have the automatic promotion behavior (for Float32). Likewise, I can imagine anyone working on say reading/writing from binary files or network comm wanting very specific integer types. So I totally agree with you, Job.
Just my two cents. ________________________________ From: Job van der Zwan <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 1:48 PM Subject: Re: [julia-users] Julia computational efficiency vs C vs Java vs Python vs Cython On Wednesday, 22 January 2014 02:17:36 UTC+1, Ivan Tong wrote: I think the greedy solution is both behaviors? =D Although I get the idea of "let's try to please everyone", I think that it will just lead to confusion and hard to find bugs in this particular case.
