<mwette>sneek: later tell wingo, Re your paper challenge, you may be interested in siggraph https://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/siggraph/ ; I tried to reply to your blog but my message was rejected

<sneek>Will do.

<sneek>dsmith: wb!

<old>lechner: bisect with comment your file lol

<sneek>I've been faithfully serving for 4 months

<old>is there something like filter from srfi-1, but that keeps a state like fold?

<old>is there a way to check that an object is a syntax transformer?

<old>macro? ?

<lechner>old / for a stateful 'filter', aren't you just looking for 'fold'?

<old>lechner: right that can work

<lechner>old / yes, it is macro, but you have to use module-ref (macro? (module-ref (current-module) 'case))

<lechner>macro?

<wingo>sneek: later tell mwette thanks, and apologies for the buggy spam filter :/

<sneek>wingo, you have 1 message!

<sneek>wingo, mwette says: Re your paper challenge, you may be interested in siggraph https://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/siggraph/ ; I tried to reply to your blog but my message was rejected

<sneek>Okay.

<wingo>well. currently the fully-conservative mostly-marking collector appears to be a lose, relative to bdw. not quite sure yet why though

<wingo>i'll have to see what we manage to get with the version that is only stack-conservative. in microbenchmarks it is significantly better than the fully conservative version

<graywolf>Hi :) How can I load function from the C standard library? foreign-library-function does not like neither #f nor ""... Could anyone point me into the right direction?

<Arsen>"c"?

<Arsen>ACTION didn't try

<graywolf>Ooooh never mind, I made a mistake in my testing

<graywolf>#f *does* work, #t does not; I need another coffee

<graywolf>(((@ (system foreign-library) foreign-library-function) #f "abort"))

<identity>perhaps you need less coffee...

<graywolf>Yeeey

<lxsameer>hey folks, dose guile supports reader macros ?

<identity>lxsameer: see (info "(guile) Reader Extensions")

<lxsameer>identity: cheers

<pinoaffe>does anyone know if there's a clean(ish) way to use keyword arguments in goops methods?

<pinoaffe>and is there a way to have a generic dispatch based on a class argument, rather than on an instance of a class?

<daviid>pinoaffe: define-method* and method* were added to goops in november 2024, they will be in 3.0.11 - meanwhile, you might manually install from a clone

<daviid>pinoaffe: and yes, you can dispatch on class, that's how you specialize a metaclass, here is an example - https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/g-golf.git/tree/g-golf/hl-api/gobject.scm?h=devel#n255 and below for compute-get-n-set and initialize

<old>So I'm wondering, why is guild packages under guile-3.0-dev and not guile-3.0 on Debian distros

<old>Having to pull lots of C related stuffs just for using guild ..
