<drduck>Is guile written mostly in Go?
<taoqy>drduck: C
<wingo>guile is mostly written in schema actually :)
<wingo>*scheme
<djcb`````>drduck: the '.go' file extension is a coincidence, preceding golang
<dsmith-work>Wednesday Greetings, Guilers
<ArneBab>I’ll be offline for some days, our current ISP left the area and the new one takes a while to re-establish our connection.
<rain1>im super impressed by the guile PEG implementation
<rain1>the way it makes up an AST is very cool
<rain1>with practically 0 work
<rain1> https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/PEG-Tutorial.html#PEG-Tutorial the passwd example here shows what I mean
<rain1>just <-- vs <- vs < very powerful!
<manumanumanu>rain1: that is pretty neat! I have long thought about porting PEG-markdown to guile just to see how well it fares :D
<manumanumanu>hopefully it would be worth the effort, but I frankly don't know whether (ice-9 peg) is any fast
<rain1>yeah I don't think PEG is a good choice for efficiently processing a large file
<rain1>but it is really nice and quick like regex
<amz3>whohoo, I made a single input text, in a single form of a single page (with an error message)
<amz3>html is boring
<amz3>well, the styles can be re-used but still...
<amz3>I have a very brillan idea, this time it's real, I picked up a very simple project and I will try to make it useable by other people
<amz3>simply said, I will try to finish a project \\o/
<amz3>the good news is that I will be able to re-use what I've done so far on the culturia project
<amz3>I don't need to throw away 3 years of work...
<OrangeShark>amz3: ohh, how will you reuse it for this new project?
<spk121>So in today's nonsense hack, I've been trying to implement a C-like printf in scheme, which is harder than I thought.
<spk121>C printf does hex floating point, which in my many years, I've never seen used. Who knew?
<amz3>OrangeShark: I trying to implement a blog, so culturia will be used to search for blog posts
<amz3>I know there is a static web blog called haunt, it's just that I need to make something
<dsmith-work>Wow. hex floating point.
<civodul>spk121: you seem to be looking for trouble :-)
<civodul>i didn't know that either
