<dsmith>wingo: I changed the for-each to a named let and it's working fine. <akhetopnu>what is the recommended websocket library for guile? dthompson's guile-websocket? <akhetopnu>also where can I get a library for base64? `guix search base64` doesn't yield any results for guile, is it hidden somewhere in the ice-9 or r_rs ? <dsmith>akhetopnu: Did you ever get your guile working? (no clue about the websocket lib, sorry) <akhetopnu>yes I managed to install it through guix, it's impossible to find a *working* solution for emacs to make it run guile with proper loading paths, so I just run `guile --listen` in the terminal and then connect to it from emacs........ <akhetopnu>incredibly frustrating, but I'm not aware of any better IDE for guile (or any scheme) <dsmith>Especially if you are used to slime. (which I hear is quite awesome) <akhetopnu>I switched to sly but yes, it's like you're programming on another level compared to other languages <dsmith>Geiser is pretty good though. Been a while since I've used it (or scheme). <akhetopnu>the introspection and live-coding capabilities are refreshing (if you can say that about something that's existed for decades :P ) <dsmith>Yeah. All these other IDE's are really just playing catch-up. <dsmith>$DAYJOB is C and Bash an Python mostly. Embedded bare metal and Linux drivers. And MQTT and stuff. <str1ngs>akhetopnu: geiser kinda does this well <str1ngs>akhetopnu: geiser even has geiser-connect-local which does exactly what you want <akhetopnu>I think i'm using connect-to-geiser or something <str1ngs>geiser-connect creates its own REPL IIRC. so geiser-connect-local is preferred to connect to an existing REPL <akhetopnu>I dream of an 'IDE' that you install and it doesn't do anything, it would have a list of well namespaces commands that you could use to build your own 'user profile', save it to a simple file with a list of key=value pairs per line that you could simply copy onto another computer and it would just work. You start with a blank screen and once you type a new unrecognized keybinding the editor asks you what did you intend to do. All the <akhetopnu>editors I'm aware of start off with a ton of assumptions about how you're supposed to use them. <akhetopnu>dsmith: that's low level stuff, do you enjoy doing it or are you thinking or switching to something else perhaps <akhetopnu>not implying anything, just genuinely curious <dsmith>Oh, I've always enjoyed being close to the metal. <dsmith>Yeah, even emacs assumes a lot of things, though you can bend it around anyway you want if needed. <akhetopnu>I can't find a base64 conversion package for guile anywhere, am I missing something or do people really write their own base64 conversion functions in every application they use? <akhetopnu>yes, I see this library can do hashes and other stuff too, should be good <akhetopnu>I installed it through guix but guile doesn't see it, I need to sort these loading paths out... <str1ngs>if you manual set GUIL_LOAD_PATH use the format found in ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile. or you could clobber it <str1ngs>also GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH is helpful as well. <str1ngs>also after installing if guix say source ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile . basically you need to restart your shell <akhetopnu>I added the `GUIX_PROFILE="/home/akhetopnu/.guix-profile"` and `. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"` to my .bashrc but I guix didn't install the package into that folder <str1ngs>guix install guile-crypt did not use that profile? <akhetopnu>it installed it into /gnu/store/c64fi1b6qy4apvc8nza3palfii13fb5i-guile-gcrypt-0.2.1 <str1ngs>guix package -l . does it list guile-gcrypt? <str1ngs>install technically does not apply to guix. it is only used as a comfort to people used to traditional managers. <str1ngs>guix install creates a profile of symlinks to the store <str1ngs>I made have just dated myself then :P <str1ngs>basically when you do guix install it creates link from the store to ~/.guix-profile/bin/* etc <str1ngs>guix build actually do the installing to /gnu/store this is how guix is multi user and atomic at the same time. <str1ngs>ls -l ~/.guix-profile/bin you will see they are all symlinks <akhetopnu>only guile-tools is, th[02:31:08] <akhetopnu> it fired up guile repl <str1ngs>then you did not use the file command <str1ngs>use stat instead if this is causing confusion <akhetopnu>it says it's an ELF 64 bit LSB executable, dynamically linked etc <akhetopnu>it's a symlink to /var/guix/profiles/per-user/akhetopnu/guix-profile <str1ngs>now stat ~/.guix-profile/bin/guile ? <str1ngs>and stat /var/guix/profiles/per-user/$USER/guix-profile <str1ngs>~/.guix-profile/bin/guile should be a symlink. you did use stat and not file? <akhetopnu>I feel like I should remove it all and reinstall guix + guile, because the whole installation process isn't obvious to me and I was trying to make the loading paths work while installing, removing and reinstalling stuff over and over <str1ngs>installing and removing with guix should not have adverse effects. it's multi user and atomic <akhetopnu>if I installed guile through guix, should guile automatically see all consecutive packages installed through guix? <str1ngs>are you on foreign distro? I'm assuming you are? <str1ngs>yes, but it might require you to restart bash <str1ngs>so given this guix install guile-grypt . guix package -i | grep gcyrpt should list guile-gcrypt <akhetopnu>I did, and guile cannot find code for module (gcrypt base64) <str1ngs>okay, but if you manually set GUILE_LOAD_PATH you can clobber guix's load paths <akhetopnu>my GUILE_LOAD_PATH is set to /home/akhetopnu/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/3.0:/home/akhetopnu/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/3.0 <str1ngs>if you do need to set them. use the format that ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile uses. <str1ngs>yes but flatten guile-gcrypts file list and I bet you the site is 2.2 :P <str1ngs>try with find $(guix build guile-gcrypt) <str1ngs>right you are on the bleeding edge and probably using the latest and greatest guix pull ? <akhetopnu>the find $(guix build guile-gcrypt) listed probably all the files in all subfolders in my home folder <akhetopnu>can't be because I'm seeing some node_modules and .js files <str1ngs>akhetopnu: let me guix pull I think we can fix this by using guile 2 only in the profile meantime <str1ngs>that sub bash command is bittle sorry not the best command at time <akhetopnu>so I should probably stick to the 2.2 version for now <str1ngs>okay let me guix pull see if there is an easy way to resolve tis <str1ngs>its api compatible not binary compatible <akhetopnu>the guile-fibers installation is taking its time huh... I wonder why it's taking so long, it's just 1 library <akhetopnu>I don't understand how am I supposed to run `guile --listen`, should I create a fifo pipe and pass it as the argument to --listen? I try `--listen=guile.sock` and it's showing me the help message <akhetopnu>if I run `guile --listen guile.sock` it tries to compile the guile.sock file <akhetopnu>it says 'listen on a local port or a path for REPL clients` <akhetopnu>I can run `guile --listen` and it will listen on some default port on localhost. So when I connect to it with emacs a strange thing happens. When I type `(use-modules (gcr` it company mode doesn't autocomplete it, but if I finish typing it and C-c C-c it will load and then I can use the base64-* functions <str1ngs>akhetopnu: does gule --listen=$PWD/guile.socket work? <akhetopnu>i feel like I shouldn't need to run it as a superuser <str1ngs>you need to clean up your socket when you are done with it <akhetopnu>yes, it works, I was in another directory <facepalm> <akhetopnu>however it doesn't autocomplete gcrypt for some reason <str1ngs>maybe it only handles absolute paths. not relative paths. try with --listen=./guile.socket vs --listen=$PWD/guile.socket <str1ngs>probably because emacs is using an order GUILE_LOAD_PATH <akhetopnu>I get autocompletion for ice-9 and all that though <str1ngs>you probably need to relog your X11 session <str1ngs>or.. use emacs-guix and load the environment :P pro trick <str1ngs>akhetopnu: .. use emacs-guix and load the environment :P pro trick <akhetopnu>also after rebooting emacs still doesn't autocomplete it <akhetopnu>it must be residing in some unexpected folder <akhetopnu>weird, because my GUILE_LOAD_PATH is .guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.2 and `find . -name gcrypt` found 2 paths with this name <str1ngs>and in emacs (getenv "GUILE_LOAD_PATH") ? <str1ngs>don't have to . the main thing is you need provdie X11 with variables <akhetopnu>i started emacs from terminal and now it shows proper GUILE_LOAD_PATH but it still cannot autocomplete use-modules with gcrypt <str1ngs>I would not worry about that completion. what about once you use the package? <str1ngs>(use-modules (gcrypt base64)) does not complete for me. but the bindings do once it's used <akhetopnu>weird. I jumped to the source of (ice-9 futures) and it's inside some /gnu/store/...-guile-2.2.6-1/share/guile/2.2/ folder. There is also a `web` folder but I cannot get autocompletion for it <str1ngs>akhetopnu: I think that gets you setup based on your workflow? <akhetopnu>more or less, but I'm sure something will get borked soon enough <akhetopnu>thanks for help, it would've taken me much longer otherwise <spk121>daviid: guile-gi doesn't require libgtk-3-dev except for its examples and test suite.

<akhetopnu>I'm looking at (ice-9 match) and I'm not sure how would I go about matching a list of lists of certain shape and store it into a variable <akhetopnu>I see I can match (pat_1 ... pat_n) but I have to actually know the number of elements <akhetopnu>do I have to manually do an if-else type of check and manually type (let ((x <the list>)) ...) to do something with it? <mwette>akhetopnu: maybe match on (head . tail) and loop with counter ? <akhetopnu>yeah I can do the head and tail thing but I still have to do my own check on every element and then next a body of stuff to do with it <akhetopnu>ideally I would do something like (match <s-expression> ((my-list ... (symbol _)) (display my-list))) and this would print the list of pairs of (symbol <whatever>) onto the screen, otherwise do nothing <akhetopnu>it seems like a basic thing to do but I can't figure out if one of the patterns in guild manual fits this case <mwette>you can match parts at the front and leave the rest to `. rest)' <mwette>or write a custom matcher with syntax -- look at system/base/pmatch.scm <akhetopnu>is it possible to match a list of numbers? any length <akhetopnu>it's possible, via pattern (number ..1) (this matches 1+) <akhetopnu>analogically (number ..2) matches 2+ numbers : D <akhetopnu>I don't understand this match library... I can match a list of 2 numbers with (number ..2) but I can't say (list number number) or even (number number) <mwette>check the `catamorphisms' subsection in the sxml-match section of the guile manual; there are some examples there <daviid>str1ngs: so, none of the distro I am aware of offer to install libgdk-3 without libgtk-3 <daviid>str1ngs: and hence, it would be a complete loss of time to write somethng that checks if libgdk-3.so - in all distro i am aware of, this means the gtk+-3.0 is installed, and therefore, not can we, but must we call PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK, gtk+-3.0 >= 3.24.0) <daviid>spk121: no matter what, if a guile-gi user wants gdk event support, he/she must install gtk+-3.0, right? <mwette>FYI, I ported bug to ubuntu against 18.04: they install guile as guile-2.2 and guile, but none of the other *-2.2 tools, only guild, etc; this hoses guile extension config scripts written w/ guile.m4 if you have a different version installed <daviid>mwette: I think manual installation, running the make dance using a tarball, als fals to add the postfix to those scripts, I did mention that quite a lng time ago, never checked if this was solved <zig>s-expr based regexp are very neat. <daviid>str1ngs: to make it short, there is no way to only install libgdk-3 <daviid>hence I decide to get this PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK, gtk+-3.0 >= 3.24.0) back in the configure.ac file of GGolf <akhetopnu>is there a way to destructure function arguments? example: (define (fn a b (c d)) ...) where you would call it like (fn 1 2 (list 3 4)) so c = 3 and d = 4? <mwette>daviid: not sure what you are referring to: for my package nyacc I have added workarounds in my config scripts to deal with it. I let user provide GUILE= argument to configure <daviid>str1ngs: fyi, libclutter-1.0-dev depends on it as well, because it needs Gdk Event support, not becaue it needs gtk support ... that's thw way the gnome team orginazed thing, there is nothing we can do about this <daviid>str1ngs: i pushed the configure.ac fix <daviid>now I shall work on other gdk events <dsmith>Should (debug-enable 'debug) still work? <zig>akhetopnu: look into define* <zig>akhetopnu: sorry, I did not read that you already know about match <zig>akhetopnu: did you try the (a b c . rest) pattern to solve your problem? <akhetopnu>I didn't, but by destructuring I mean something like javascript's `function asd(arg1, arg2, { key }) { <here I can use 'key' as variable that holds the keyname of the 3rd arg which is an object> }` <akhetopnu>There are lots of these 'SRFI-*' libraries, is there some sort of 'srfi index' website where I can browse the contents of all of these libraries? It would allow newbies like me to learn the APIs much faster <akhetopnu>ah, the index you linked seems to list methods in those libraries <lampilelo>the ones that are implemented in guile are in its info manual <sneek>unknown_lamer was here Jan 16 at 03:34 pm UTC, saying: basically working is a start after ten years of gathering dust :). <dsmith>unknown_lamer: I think I found the -D and -S options problem <dsmith>unknown_lamer: guile 3 doesn't like "(debug-enable 'debug)" in Main.C <daviid>lloda: one can 'simply' merge the wip-truncated-exception brach on master right? <dsmith>unknown_lamer: One other thing I'd like to see.
