    > Math.pow( v ) seems quite clunky hence my suggestion to use 
    v.pow()
    which is a nice compromise 😛
  • b
    And that's ^ not a valid syntax I guess.
  • b
    So something along those lines.
  • o
    I think it would be interesting to engage with some maths professors and see if Haxe math support could be improved, I feel haxe is ideal for education being so versitile but the science and maths support is fairly minimal, abstracts can help but they can be a bit hit and miss.
  • o
    ah first click on julia examples has 
    z^2
    so it is fairly standard for modern math code.
  • o
    I guess I would also love 
    |v|
    for Math.abs
  • o
    but that I imagine would be really hard to implement anyway
  • o
    Anyway if someone does have macro for 
    |v|
    and 
    v^2
    I would be really curious, I may actually take another look at macros, rather than mostly avoid them 🙂
  • b
    you can't do 
    |v|
    , it's not valid syntax
  • b
    v^2
    would work, since it's an existing operator, but it would be messy, since it already has a meaning for integers
  • o
    could ** be added as an operator since ... I think maybe one?
  • o
    I think it would be nice to add ** as Math.pow alternate, I know it's mostly icing but it seems cleaner.
  • o
    ...
    is an operator already
  • o
    so 
    **
    should be feasible?
  • o
    I guess you could code conceptually to allow mix operators of up to 3 eg: 
    *.-
  • o
    so 
    +-
    could be used etc...
  • o
    developers could then have quite a few combinations that could be used for various operators.
  • o
    currently 
    >==
    might have a meaning but it would be a special case
  • o
    if you opened up combinations perhaps code would be more flexible
  • b
    seems pretty messy
  • o
    well I can imagine you may want `' special operator for some abstract maths, I think that currently the assumptions limit the possible use cases too tightly.
  • o
    <=>
  • o
    also the number of permutations is quite high so you can support richer interactions.
  • o
    there are for instance quite a few cross product definitions for a 3x3 matrix I think, you could quite easily use permutations to provide more than one.
  • o
    perhaps it's too hard and too flexible.
  • b
    I'm not sure I'd want that
  • b
    anyone knows how to target haxelib to specific language only? I am making some sort of extern classes for one framework which is written in Lua and I want one function to return lua.Table but I get an error: "You cannot access lua package while targeting cross".
  • o
    in your compile.hxml you define lua as the target
  • o
    in your haxelib.json you put python not cross
  • b
    Copy code
