[elm-discuss] Re: Json file size
The other 2 modes of doing this failed as follows:
1) db.json. The JSON loaded fine, according to the Debug.log, but the
program failed on the first user input.
That is, when I changed the input
[textarea [cols 70,rows 20,placeholder "Enter text here", onInput Change ]
[]
...
Change s -> ({model | sourcetext = s},Cmd.none)
.. the call stack error occurred. Theoretically, the Decoding had occurred
prior to any user input, but who knows
2) The pure Elm approach
I began with the dictionary in one huge Elm variable
List (String,String)
then, after doing some reading about compiler crashes, cut it into several
files.
dictionary : List Word
dictionary = [D1.words,D2.words,D3.words . ] |> List.concat |> makeWords
makeWord : (String,String) -> Word
makeWord (e,t) = Word e t
makeWords : List (String,String) -> List Word
makeWords = List.map makeWord
But it still wouldn't compile.

[elm-discuss] Re: Json file size
I ended up going the JS/ports route and it works fine now, so thanks for the suggestion. It was quite a shock going back to the catalogue of atrocities that is Javascript after so long writing in Elm. It was like being thrown back into a medieval time of druids and burning witches. Twenty lines of Javascript caused me more pain than 700 lines of Elm. One thing I came across which I haven't seen documented is the way to write Unicode literals in Elm (I have to work with the Thai alphabet, which is at \U0E00 on up.) Anyway, Elm likes its Unicode literals as gorgai : Char gorgai = '\x0E01' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.

I think your problem is this bug: https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler/issues/1521 The workaround is to disable the Elm debugger.

[elm-discuss] Re: Json file size
I suspect there will be a way of making this work without dropping into JS. It looks like you're hitting some sort of very deep recursion which is causing a stack overflow - try seeing if you can isolate which of your function calls is triggering the stack overflow, and see if you can change some function from recursive to non-recursive (or tail recursive). If you have example code, that would also be helpful... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.

[elm-discuss] Re: Json file size
Thanks, I'll look through that code. A couple of minor points -- I am not using a Dict, simply a list of records holding the word pairs. Is Dict better performing in this situation? My use case is slightly different - as the source language (Thai) is written without spaces between words, I need access to all the Dict keys when parsing a text to determine where the word breaks go, so it's not just a matter of interrogating the database. Also, the Dict items need to be sorted in a particular way (by length of the key), which is an added challenge.
