<paroneayea>maybe it's time to port to guile ;p
***brendyyn is now known as brendyn
<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?
<dmiles_afk>core500.lisp is from lisp500
<civodul>Hello Guilers!
<artyom-poptsov>Hi civodul
<wingo>heya civodul
<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.
<ArneBab>→marshal
<paroneayea>ArneBab: aha
<paroneayea>ArneBab: thanks for that feedback
<paroneayea>I'm thinking of using pyrsistent also
<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 :)
<paroneayea>:)
<davexunit>#guile: functional python general
<davexunit>:P
<ArneBab>davexunit: ☺
<ArneBab>back to pyguile: no comments yet for the wisp SRFI (119): http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-119/
<ArneBab>
<ArneBab>do you think it would be more convincing to start it off with the example?
<ArneBab>(headline "Wisp example")
<mark_weaver>ArneBab: did you announce the SRFI anywhere?
<ArneBab>mark_weaver: till now only here
<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.
<davexunit>#scheme ?
<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>it'll be okay :)
<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).
