<rekado>dustyweb: thanks for the link to the snowman tutorial. <rekado>dustyweb: I think doing this with SVG might really work. <rekado>when I find some more time I’ll give it a try to write some procedures for that. <rekado>needs lotsa match-sxml for things like “colorize”, but it shouldn’t be too hard. <rekado>what’s nice is that the Racket REPL can display the images right there. <rekado>I guess we could teach geiser in Emacs to render SVG strings as images. <dijong>what's the best (or any) way to do web scraping with guile? working with horribly formed HTML, so i was looking for something like python's beautifulsoup library maybe? but i'd settle for anything one step above "regex on socket html output" <rekado>I have a simple picture language based on SVG and it shows up correctly in Geiser. <rekado>It’s still very early, but I’m pretty sure this will work out. ***Shozan is now known as SHODAN
<spk121>is there a MIME type for scheme code? <civodul>spk121: text/x-scheme, though i don't know if it's standard <amz3>dijong: use the pragmatic parser works well, then you can snarff the html using (ice-9 sxpath) <amz3>spk121: I was wondering the same question, I was too afraid to ask ^^' <catonano>what am I supposed to do with the #<git-repository 7fe0e0212540> object I got ? I was expecting the "cloned" folder to be populated, but it's empty <catonano>amz3: and I try again I get informed that thhe directory already exixsts and it's not empty <amz3>It's a long time I did not look at guile-git <amz3>IIRC there is a clone procedure to clone a repository <amz3>how did you get the <git-repository ...> thing in the first place? <amz3>catonano: ok then, what are you trying to achieve? <catonano>amz3: I'm trying to clone a repository on my disk, in the "cloned" folder <amz3>sorry, I am busy, I can't look into that right now <catonano>I thought that with "~/cloned" it would have used the "cloned" folder in my home folder <catonano>it created a folder named "~" in my "~/blah/blah/" and within it, it created the repo folder <rekado>The hardest part of the naive picture language for Guile is, surprisingly, text. <rekado>There’s no easy way to determine the width of some text snippet, but I need that in order to allow composition. <rekado>not without using an SVG rendering library, that is. <daviid>rekado: yeah, it would probably be easier if you would choose to work with cairo (guile-cairo that is), maybe <rekado>then start geiser and do (circle 10) <rekado>I’m willing to ignore text for now. It’s called picture language after all. <rekado>next up is support for “transform”
