timotree (Dec 11 2023 at 00:39): timotree (Dec 11 2023 at 00:39):After @Brendan Hansknecht's' recent rewrite of Dict, we don't need Hash & Eq bounds on the methods anymore. Why not? I imagine we still need to perform these operations on keys. Is it because all types implement them now somehow?
Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 11 2023 at 00:41):The Dict type has the requirement. So saying Dict k v implies that k implements Hash & Eq. So no need to specify it at all call sites
Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 11 2023 at 00:41):So I didn't change any requirements. I just removed redundant specifications
Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 11 2023 at 00:42):I guess the docs here should really show the required abilities: https://www.roc-lang.org/builtins/Dict#Dict
Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 11 2023 at 00:42):Cause I don't think that is currently specified in any docs.
Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 11 2023 at 00:43):requirement is right here in the dict definition: https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/blob/f795d0856a8a68747aa7bc975827bd02ff8d4610/crates/compiler/builtins/roc/Dict.roc#L102
timotree (Dec 11 2023 at 00:43):Ah makes sense. Thanks
