I think I’m losing my mind. Would someone want to explain to me why the following Ellie will not compile? If I’m using an extensible record, and I have a function that takes `Extensible a`, surely an `Extensible Something` would work, no? <https://ellie-app.com/54NfSGxYCWpa1>
2019-03-24T06:43:27.606800

<@Moriah> what if I pass it a function `Extensible { foo : Int } -&gt; Extensible { foo : Int }` that updates the `foo` field?
2019-03-24T06:48:09.607800
Huong

Which is entirely valid according to your type signature, but of course wouldn't work since your records don't have a `foo : Int` field
2019-03-24T06:49:23.609000
Huong

My recommendation would be not to use extensible records for this, and group the common things in a regular record
2019-03-24T06:53:26.610700
Huong
elmlang

Yes, that’s true. So is it even possible to create a function that takes a function that only operates on the `Extensible` part of `Extensible a`?

Not in Elm, but it _can_ be done in languages where you can be more specific with regards to quantification, e.g. purescript

Huong

Ok. Thank you <@Huong>, you saved me a lot of time.
2019-03-24T06:59:22.615300
Moriah
elmlang

so what you're trying to is something like this: You have a function like so: ``` updateCount : Extensible a -&gt; Extensible a updateCount r = { r | count = r.count + 1 } ``` With explicit quantification, that could be written as ``` updateCount : ∀ a. Extensible a -&gt; Extensible a updateCount r = { r | count = r.count + 1 } ``` meaning that which function works regardless of what `a` is: it is valid for all values of `a` What you're trying to write now is a way of embedding that signature in another signature, which means it _should_ look like this: `(∀ a. Extensible a -&gt; Extensible a) -&gt; State -&gt; State` But Elm doesn't let you do that, and instead you end up with `∀ a. (Extensible a -&gt; Extensible a) -&gt; State -&gt; State` which doesn't mean the same thing :slightly_smiling_face:
2019-03-24T07:03:33.615400

Is `∀` like `forall` in Haskell?

With a Keyed.node are the children's ids only stored in the virtual Dom and not actually present in the actual Dom?

Yeah, they're not `id` attributes, they're just internal identifiers used by the virtual-dom

Ok, then can you have a look at the issue raised on billstclair/elm-sortable-table (the elm 0.19 version of Evan's) which has a problem with the sorting. It appears to be flipping out the virtual Dom patching code and seems to be thoroughly reproducible. It is very worrying to my mind. Sorting by the Name column works fine. Then sorting by Price is OK too. But then trying to sort by Rating causes errors and bad output. Alternatively sorting by Name, then Rating, then Price gives NO ERRORS, but displays one row TWICE. I think this needs to raised as an Elm compiler issue, as there does not appear to be any problem with the code in elm-sortable-table (and indeed there shouldn't be a way to write Elm code that causes this problem). I just don't know where else to raise this.

I'm trying to extract coverage information from `elm-coverage` for further processing. I see that `--report json` gives me nice information about complexity, but I can't find what was actually covered by tests. The data is there in the HTML output (the red vs green code), but it's hard to extract. Am I missing something? <@Huong>
2019-03-25T05:37:19.659300
Dorsey

Yeah, the coverage information isn't super straightforward for humans to read. Using the codecov reporter, you can get a json file that should conform to this schema: <https://github.com/zwilias/elm-coverage/blob/master/docs/elm-coverage.json>
2019-03-25T05:39:43.662500
Huong
elmlang

The use case is: have a flag that is similar to `--cov-fail-under` in pytest, which makes the elm-coverage exit with non-zero status. This is great for using CI to making sure people are not pushing commits that decrease the coverage.
2019-03-25T05:39:57.662800

&gt; The goal of the reports generated by elm-coverage is to help you visualize what parts of your code are being evaluated when running your tests, and to try and guide you towards writing tests that focus specifically on the more complex functions in your codebase. &gt; &gt;The goal is not to condense that information down into a single metric. It is too easy to write tests that don't make meaningful assertions about your code and its behaviour, but only serve to increase the coverage. &gt; &gt;The only thing worse than having no tests is having tests that provide a false sense of security.

<@Valeria> I think it’s worth your time to look at Rust. I agree with <@Agustin> that Elixir/Phoenix will feel very familiar coming from Elm, but the lack of a strong compile-time type checker is super painful. Rust’s type system is actually very Elm-ish. I haven’t looked into Redis options, but the ORM support in the Diesel library is excellent and solves a lot of the problems you mentioned. There are several web server frameworks to choose from with Rust, an overwhelming number really, but you can probably narrow your focus to Rocket and Actix without missing out too much.
