Hello,
Sorry to annoy the very busy core devs :) out of the blue
I quite noticed people were
1) wanting to have a new dict for Xmas
2) strongly resenting dict addition.
Even though I am not a good developper, I have come to a definition of
addition that would follow algebraic rules, and not something of a
dutch logic. (it is a jest, not a troll)
I propose the following code to validate my point of view regarding
the dictionnatry addition as a proof of concept :
https://github.com/jul/ADictAdd_iction/blob/master/test.py
It follows all my dusty math books regarding addition + it has the
amability to have rules of conservation.
I pretty much see a real advantage in this behaviour in functional
programming (map/reduce). (see the demonstrate.py), and it has a sense
(if dict can be seen has vectors).
I have been told to be a troll, but I am pretty serious.
Since, I coded with luck, no internet, intuition, and a complete
ignorance of the real meaning of the magic methods most of the time,
thus the actual implementation of the addition surely needs a complete
refactoring.
Sheers,
Bonne fêtes
Julien
