I'd rather use mixins if possible
basically recreating the same structure, but in a diff way
So I guess the 2 solutions I see are
1) Copy the
2) I already forgot because I'm tired :(
1) Copy the
include Origin::Shared into each concrete type instead of once in the Vector mixin.2) I already forgot because I'm tired :(
Well right now, yes it does defeat the purpose. It might get a little hard to model with inheritance later on
Shared is intended to be stuff common to all base math types (vectors, matrices, and quaternions). Vector is stuff common to all vectors (but Vector3 is special and will define more stuff for itself), and then there will be higher order math types making use of these 3 base types or varying dimensions
It's a rather large project, about 20kloc of Lisp
but fair enough
I suppose I could try inheritance tomorrow if you think it is a better fit
Really, I'm used to functional programming and a very different kind of OOP (methods not associated with classes at all with multiple dispatch)
So this way of coding is very new to me
Wait, Crystal is single inheritance right?
This may be difficult already then...but I'll think about it tomorrow
If I have a macro method on an abstract struct, will it be inherited by children such that the
@type is expanded for the concrete struct?
Probably not, but is there an existing library for outputting tabulated numbers, particularly floats? I would like to define an #inspect method for 4x4 matrices so it looks like:
0.123 0.484824 12.434934 93.32459
10.4944 0.43244 343.3434 434.0
23.2384 29.34242 93.22424 0.12525
0.2435 0.533556789 0.645532 0.2434534except:
1) padding should be auto-inserted such that the whitespace around each column is aligned
2) padding should be auto-inserted such that the decimal points in a column are all aligned.
dunno if its possible with it, but might be best bet with stdlib
tablo looks very close to what I want. I would definitely need it to work for 1D StaticArray's though which it doesn't support...wonder if I can overload something.
ofc that would allocate memory and stuff tho but might not be terrible just for UI output like that :shrug:
err
array of arrays
I'll see. I don't need most of its features and need to see if I can opt out of them, PR it, or what
like, don't want bars drawn, nor column/row labels
generics might solve this but :shrug:
Yeah it'll all be a learning experience. Been using my over-engineered Lisp math library for about a decade, and I'm always annoyed at how difficult it is to read tabular matrix data when debugging stuff.
But in Lisp it looks like this, which is readable only because the PRNG seed made mostly the same digits to the left of the point:
