A significant focus for eta is to allow Haskell package reuse so ghc compatibility is very important. Frege does not support ghc extensions which means that you can’t use many (any?) hackage packages. So, eta tries to leverage both the java and Haskell ecosystems.

borkdude15:12:38

that sounds a bit like the idea of clojure, but then exploiting two ecosystems at once 🙂

what’s the expression for looking at something loosely? “when I pinch my eyes…” something?

tbaldridge19:12:18

"from 10,000 feet...."

borkdude19:12:40

oh yes, squint

qqq19:12:07

I'm going to cherish this moment as the first (and probably last time) in clojurians chat where I provided an answer more helpful than both tbaldridge AND alexmiller 🙂

Alex Miller (Clojure team)21:12:01

well squint was my first answer, but that didn’t seem to match “loosely” :)

borkdude21:12:13

didn’t know how to put it another way. how would you say this in English?

borkdude21:12:02

as in “loosely speaking"

jgh21:12:20

loosely speaking or broadly speaking make sense

jgh21:12:58

although if you’re talking about a simplified view of a more complex system you may refer to a “10,000 foot view” or “high-level view” or “birds-eye view”

borkdude21:12:40

what I wanted to express: if you squint when looking at x, it looks a bit like y

borkdude21:12:57

so it’s not exactly a high level view

jgh21:12:30

oh, yeah “if you squint and look at …” is like a sarcastic way of saying something didn’t turn out the way someone intended 😛

lewix21:12:44

anyone worked heavily with elixir?

lewix21:12:56

how does it compare to clojure iyo

qqq23:12:29

is there an postscript impl in cljs, usings vg as the output layer ?
