I like to refer to code that has been overly injected with syntactic sugar as "caramelized". We need more culinary metaphors for programming jargon!
@marvinborner
Is there any hope for a "hashlife" style cache for a TC language? My understanding is that hashlife exploits spatial locality / "causation speed" in GoL, which isn't available in LC because of beta reduction. Thoughts?
Problem is caramel is better than sugar, and I generally think adding too many layers of sugar makes things worse.
Maybe it's a soufflé? Highly unstable, but occasionally very nice.
