I think that (a,b) => Eval.now(a && b.value)
would need to be something like (a,b) => if (a) b else Eval.now(false)
in order to be stack safe if there were say 10k true
values prepending the continually false
values. So it might be a good idea to avoid calling .value
until the very end, since that's what you usually want to do with Eval
to achieve stack safety.
Having said that, I just gave it a try and it looks like the Cats foldRight
implementation for Stream
isn't actually stack safe. I'll create a separate issue for that.

I really mean this as a toy example to demonstrate the laziness. I think that it is clearer to read as is. but if you say please I'll change it :)

Hmm yeah, I see your point. It just seems bad to me to write an implementation that isn't stack-safe when a few lines above calls out that the std lib foldRight
would hit a stack overflow. And if this is where people come to learn about foldRight
, I'd want them to see examples of how to do it "right". I don't want to be a stick in the mud here though, so maybe I should just let it go :)
I guess I should have just said "please" :) Thanks, @stew! Good stuff. |
