<sneek>tohoyn: wb!

<tohoyn>sneek: botsnack

<sneek>:)

<wingo>sneek: seen aleix

<sneek>aleix was in #guile one year and 4 months ago, saying: anyone attending any Guix discussions on Sunday?.

<wingo>!

<civodul>hey wingo

<wingo>hey :)

*wingo been deep in gc things recently

<civodul>heheh, that was my understanding :-)

<civodul>sounds exciting!

<civodul>i feel like i remain at the surface of things these days, a bit frustrating

<sneek>Welcome back chrislck!

<ArneBab>wingo: very cool!

<civodul>wingo: samplet provided patches that fix a (minor) bootstrapping issue, that of generating srfi-14.i.c: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54111#11

<civodul>if that's fine with you, i'd like to apply them

<wingo>great, please do

<civodul>concretely, that allows us to (1) stop shipping a pre-built srfi-14.i.c, and (2) removes the dependency on Perl

<civodul>awesome, tx

<wingo>in some future i would like to migrate srfi-14 to scheme... one day

<ArneBab>wingo: are you interested in r7rs foundational? That’s about features that require more implementation support and it might benefit a lot from your experience about which features are easy to optimize.

<wingo>could just include the unicode data and munge it in a macro

<wingo>ArneBab: not really interested in r7rs tbh. i am assuming that if any part of r7rs becomes important that guile will be able to implement it

<ArneBab>wingo: ok

<wingo>i know it's just an assumption but i don't have the bandwidth to be involved in r7rs (and in the past haven't always shared interest with people making it)

<wingo>i understand that things evolve tho and i am fine with r7rs people doing their thing ;)

<wingo>(not that they need my permission of course :)

<ArneBab>wingo: can I throw you questions if there’s something that seems important (for Guile devs) that I cannot answer?

<wingo>sure :)

<ArneBab>Thank you!

<civodul>wingo: yes, having them in Scheme processed at expansion time would be nicer, for sure

<wingo>thing is, if we did that probably we should remove srfi-14 from the default environment, and getting it to work with srfi-13 things is tricky. maybe best to migrate srfi-13 first, but then that requires rlb's utf8 work :)

<wingo>migrate srfi-13 to scheme i mean

<civodul>ah yes, sure

<civodul>that'll give more work for the compiler and JIT to chew

<civodul>it might improve performance in some cases i guess?

<wingo>ooh, it could, but it is risky

<wingo>i think it's one of those things where you hope you don't regress

<wingo>and you do it to reduce the c

<sneek>Welcome back dsmith-work :D

<dsmith-work>UGT Greetings, Guilers

<tricon>Greetings.
