03:57 < d> arr [_] = value // that would be a nice way to initialize arrays with some values instead of a loop :)
04:06 < d> mass assignements. haven't seen that utilized anywhere i guess. like arr[[1,2,3,4,5]] = value, to assign at given indexes. this would be quite powerfull in combination with list comprehensions (like say, assign at prime indexes or stuff like that) :)
04:06 < d> just a thought that came to me at 4 in the morning ;]
04:07 < d> don't take it too seriously ;]
04:23 < d> anyway, I find Nemerle much more readable and understandable, than most pseudo-code I've read so far (don't get me started on this pseudo-algol in Cormen). it's perfectly fit for didactical purposes.
04:24 < d> it would make perfect sense to substitute pseudocode with Nemerle @ii. if all the teachers did that, the gain from using a single, unified, *real* language would be great.
04:28 < d> Nemerle is fit for teaching imperative, object-oriented and declarative styles of programming, it's got all sorts of syntactic sugar, to allow forming concise implementations (also using the python-like syntax), it's free, cross-platform and open, so anyone could make their input and it's a usefull, modern language suited for later professinal use
04:29 < d> if anyone has an idea realted to programming langages, they can practice with macros, instead of having to write tons of code, just to test a concept..
04:30 < d> someone should suggest that to people in charge of teaching at ii ;] hell, the language was born there, the place is perfect for it's adoption ;]
04:31 < d> i really believe in the benefits of using it instead of pseudo-pascal-bullshit (and a different flavour at each course)

17:49 <@nazgul`> d: probably the problem is that people teachin at II are not very earger on learning Nemerle
17:49 <@nazgul`> but I agree, that this should be the natural way
