<dmiles_afk>have a snaity question.. if i was to load core500.lisp onto a scheme system it uses 58 basic functions.. that should work to allow me to run some lisp programs? <ArneBab>paroneayea: regarding xudd: I changed almost all functions in my plotting framework to immutable datastructures (mostly tuples) when I added transparent caching. Any mutable datastructure broke the mashal cache and had to be put into the much, much slower pickle cache. <paroneayea>ArneBab: which provides some functional/immutable types for python that look nice <ArneBab>I now googled it - pyrsistent sounds pretty useful. It might have saved me some pretty long bug hunts :) <ArneBab>do you think it would be more convincing to start it off with the example? <ArneBab>but I want to announce it in the readable list <ArneBab>(just have to finish a small roleplaying book before that - today’s the printing deadline) <ArneBab>(I have frequent *long* breaks whenever I export from Scribus) <ArneBab>mark_weaver: at which other places would you announce the SRFI? *ArneBab imagines the horrified look because he’s only active in a single subgroup of the Scheme community. <taylanub>ArneBab: tried #chicken and #racket, for instance? (though be careful about being perceived as "advertising" I guess, but then again it's an SRFI, which should really be fine to announce in any Scheme related channel I think) <ArneBab>taylanub: sounds good — I’ll try to do that starting tomorrow. <ArneBab>(ok, I could have thought of that, but it wasn’t really in my mind — maybe to some degree due to fear of less than happy reactions) <ArneBab>(but I guess I should face that: it might improve the adoption among implementations) <davexunit>I understand your hesitation, given how unconvential your SRFI is. <ArneBab>I think I fear not getting it into final state; though that might be conterproductive to the goal of spreading it (SRFI available in multiple implementations > single implementation SRFI).
