xacc.ide - now with TabsToSpaces support
IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4 out now (27 May 2008)It hurts with loading and plenty more. Come on, there has not been, and I mean this from my C# ASP.NET cold feet, a Web project with more failures and broken links than: MSDN pre v1. MSDN v1. MSDN 2 MSDN #2 (pronounced not-see-Sharp-Too), whatever happened after 2 No wonder they are buying and trying to buy other Web companies.

Color me stupid - I don't get it.
What dont you get, all the information? :confused: I meant it as a compliment. The documentation exceeded my expectation by far, and I even learnt a few new things.

That's the part I didn't get. :) I've become so accustomed to the incredibly poor quality of documentation coming from MS these days that I just assumed it was a well deserved snarky commentary. Quality documentation from MSDN - who knew?

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4 out now (27 May 2008)I half-expected the "good" documentation to be added in the "community content section". BTW, you should write something there saying that documentation DID actually help you.

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4 out now (27 May 2008)can it create SuperDelegates ?

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4 out now (27 May 2008)Hmm, tickles the brain. I came close to using that method for some arcane 'very cool to have' feature I wanted to implement about a year ago. Right now it's just TMI.

They're called "events". ;P Marc

Basically the cool thing about that page is that you can 'bind' the first parameter of the delegate, so in effect you can create 'composed' expressions.
xacc.ide - now with TabsToSpaces support
IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4 out now (27 May 2008)Don't see where that greatly helps you, perhaps I'm missing a particular scenario as you can either pass another expression which converts to object (blewh) or you could just go and do composition with Func<T,..> No? If you want expression templates well, C# doesn't have them; they designed the tedium of C# compiler away with that signature :)

That's exactly my reaction. I was thinking "hang on - this actually looks really good. Why is he dissing it". Then I turned off auto-sarcasm and it became clear.

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4 out now (27 May 2008)Yeah that is pretty good. For once even their example code isn't unnecessarily convoluted and complex for no apparent reason (something they've always been guilty of). I like the redesign too (I've been avoiding MSDN for probably a year now at least).

Basically it lets you make curried functions (functions with 1 free variable). So imagine you have foo(a,b). Now you can say bar(b) = foo(1,b). And call bar(x), and foo(1,x) gets executed.

I'm middle-aged. My switch atrophied and fell off years ago.

Maybe we should have a new rule for posting in the Lounge, as in all posts should be sarcastic?

That's an utterly brillant idea.

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4 out now (27 May 2008)Not sure what you're trying to do with it again but I think people are doing that without explicit CreateDelegate (should be "new delegate" construct generated by compiler) or whatever it was along the shorthand lines of: public static Func< T, Func<U, Z>> Curry<T, U, Z>(Func<T, U, Z> fn) { return new Func<Func<T, U, Z>, Func<T, Func<U, Z>>>( f => x => y => f(x, y))(fn); } if that makes any sense. Probably not what you want but you can split it up and use extension methods. It doesn't look good to me, because it is pure C# unreadable :)
