| masak | I just had a realization about Location | 10:24 | |
| if we're serious about "they don't survive to runtime" then their function is much simplified; it becomes a must-collapse intermediate form. specifically, locations need no actual runtime semantics, except perhaps conceptually | 10:27 | ||
| that is, they become a "just barely first-class setf mechanism" - a volatile way to express what value-centered expressions can't | 10:29 | ||
| in effect, no Location object ever needs to be actually created | 10:30 | ||
| the analogy is pretty strong with unquotes, which are also a "preternatural escape mechanism" in order to achieve something otherwise hard or impossible | 10:45 | ||
