<wingo>wow, adding multiple threads to fibers is a bug farm :P

<jmd>I thought fibres was about multi-threading

<wingo>fibers are light-weight user-space threads. integrating with kernel threads is interesting

<amz3>I following along until now, light threads spread over multiple threads seems crazy stuff (in the good way)

<amz3>how do you schedule light threads in parallel? it's still cooperative?

<davexunit>why would it be that dynamic-link throws a file not found error but file-exists? returns #t for that same file?

<wingo>davexunit: probably that file is dynamically linked to somethign else that it can't find

<wingo>amz3: the story is a bit involved :) currently writing up docs, it's still in flux a bit

<davexunit>wingo: yup, that's it.

<davexunit>confirmed with strace.

<wingo>combination of work stealing, preemption, and work sharing

<davexunit>wingo: thanks

<davexunit>figured out how to load the lib, now getting a nice segfault. the joys of trying to do strange things with guix

<wingo>:)

<davexunit>my guile binary has a reference to glibc in /gnu/store for some reason

<davexunit>and the dynamic linker is trying to use that

<amz3>wingo: wow!

<wingo>ok pushed an update to make fibers parallel and preemptive ^-^

<wingo>you need git guile for it to be reliable tho

<paroneayea>8sync 0.4 is out!

<paroneayea> https://www.gnu.org/software/8sync/news/8sync-0-4-released.html

<paroneayea>wingo: woo!

<janneke>paroneayea: *nice*

<paroneayea>janneke: :)

<daviid>paroneayea: congrat for the release!

<daviid>i would rename irc-bot-send-line send-line

<daviid>ACTION hopes he can find some time to play with 8sync, fibers ... so much to do ...

<paroneayea>daviid: yeah I considered that

<paroneayea>maybe I will soon

<paroneayea>daviid: and thanks :)

<paroneayea>davexunit: I'm borrowing your "git-file?" from guile-sdl2

<daviid>paroneayea: np! it's pretty cool you're using goops, exactly for what it's good for ... I hope I can read with more attention later, but now I'm trying to get Guile-CV on 'its rails' (not sure this is the right expression :)) ... and offer it to GNU, then I have to work on G-Golf as well (I left it since I started Guile-CV :(, not good!) ... also I'm worried about guile-gnome, it has a bug wrt goops and guile 2.2 ...

<paroneayea>daviid: no worries... if you can give it a shot at some poiont, I'd love to hear your feedback.

<paroneayea>good luck with your projects!

<daviid>paroneayea: thanks!

<amz3>yeah!

<wingo>congrats paroneayea :)

<wingo>sooooo i would like to release a bugfix guile tomorrow or so

<civodul>wingo: 2.1?

<paroneayea>speaking of bugfix :) https://www.gnu.org/software/8sync/news/8sync-0-4-1-released.html

<paroneayea>oops!

<paroneayea>(was installing to Guile 2.0 instead of Guile 2.2)

<paroneayea>discovered in working on the guix package

<wingo>civodul: yeah
