Candle: I'm hoping to get this wrapped up before I leave for vacation Saturday morning. If you are around can you give it a look and see if the Homebrew suggestion helps? https://github.com/ponylang/ponyc/issues/1274

SeanTAllen: Sure, having a look now.
<Candle>
SeanTAllen: the homebrew suggestion does work.

Thanks candle. Can you let them know?
<Candle>
I've updated the ticket, I don't know if that's enough to call it closed.
<SeanTAllen>
thank you Candle
<malthe_>
it would be useful to have a simulation of the back-pressure mechanism
malthe_ is now known as malthe
<SeanTAllen>
simulation?
<SeanTAllen>
How is a simulation different than the actual implementation?
<SeanTAllen>
Basically I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "simulation" malthe.
<malthe>
SeanTAllen: I mean a test or simulation that demonstrates how the implementation works in practice.
<SeanTAllen>
If it's runnable, then that means a full implementation
<SeanTAllen>
I think that's problematic as it starts the precedent of please do all the work for something that we might not accept
<malthe>
no, that's not what I mean at all.
<SeanTAllen>
Ok
<SeanTAllen>
Can you clarify more?
<SeanTAllen>
I'm still not understanding then
<malthe>
I mean that an important part of the implementation of this is a test suite that demonstrates how it works.
<SeanTAllen>
I don't see how you can do that, provide runnable code, without the implementation.
<SeanTAllen>
Yes, implementations should have tests but I'm unclear how that relates to the RFC which is not a runnable implementation.
<malthe>
good point

<malthe>
if "a" is a class variable, should "a.some_method(consume this)" really error with "can't use a consumed 'this' in an expression" - ?
<malthe>
seems like it resolves the arguments before the method.
<malthe>
which forces me to write "let a' = a" first to make it local.
<SeanTAllen>
i dont understand, can you provide more context? what is "this"? what is "a"? i need to see more of the context within which you are attempting to do that.
