Partially-instantiated data is cool/fun, but I'm starting to question its utility in programs you would actually employ for something useful. Don't hold me to that though :)
Thanks for the papers!
- silentbicycle 16y agoThey're a good compromise between mutable and fully immutable data structures? "Oh, that? It was always there, we just didn't know about it..." Easy example: Incrementally appending to a list of conses without reversing it in the process. Better example of working with partial information: Constraint programming.
