life as a gay icon sounds pretty dull...could that be a sign for the state of the gay population in general?

lol he's rosie's friend and really quite spectacularly camp, that certainly isn't a secret so I@m just wondering what else he thought! :O

actually dan seemed really bored lol. he was all "cammmmmmbridge! you are the best i've done! *yawn* *stares at ceiling*"

Ah.... already, your minds are becoming one...

well camp people arent necessarilly gay....but clearly he conforms to the stereotype.

I am bothered!! I can't do 1 * 2.5 because 1 is an int!! Why can't ml just do 1*2.5 ?? It's stupid and lengthy. I have to use REAL.fromInt(1) * 2.5 and it comes out 2.5. (yes, capital REAL is necessary)

yah. gayness is so 1997.

i'm so confused

1997....that seems like a pretty dull year to me....so yeah...must be true!

I say bring back the hippies! I wanna be a hippy now! I already have birkenstocks!

OK, fine. I'll keep it buttoned in future.

Well for more non-trivial programs it's quicker to do type hinting such as: fun s x:real = x*x;

Besides you shouldn't force the operators to have default types if you can avoid it anyway. There's no real reason why you wouldn't have wanted it to truncate 2.5 and do integer multiplication in your example. Forcing it to make a decision in a situation like that is bad style.

hippies are boring too bring back 80s american suburbia. "DUDEEE!" "AWESOME SNEAKERS!" "RADICAL!"

Sorry, every time I see these shoes I go mad , wasnt having a go

It cuts me up inside , curse these big feet.

Alaric

no....my neighbour is like that (american grad) and it's got to me already!

Hippyness will never die...my electric guitar is an expression of my desire to (in the words of jack black) "Stick it to the man!"

You know what people say about people who has big feet...

....they dont like "sole trader"?


....alaric was involved in that "endowment" talk 100 pages back or so though!

Sweet, dude...

I wanted ml to regard 1 as a real. I wasn't forcing it to truncate the 2.5 for me. It's a pain in the arse anyway.
