<ttz>Hi, I am stumbling on an easy problem while trying to write a macro: I need to generate temporary names for each functions given, something like (let*-values (((tmp1 v) (f v)) ...) (values (lambda () (tmp1) ...) v)). I can't get the syntax right to generate the names (tmp1 ...). The value name v should be constant since it is reentrant.

<rlb>If you mean one temp for each of a set of inputs, is generate-temporaries helpful?

<rlb>ACTION has to wander off.

<ttz>wow I didn't know of this helper, thanks

<ttz>I actually realized the error was not where I thought it was, but using it is a net improvement anyway

<ttz>Is there some subtleties when exporting macros from library? It seems my macro works when top-level but not when placed inside a library...

<ttz>mmh an import was missing for the define-lambda but the error was "unknown location: unexpected syntax in form ()"

<omentic>hey yall, i wrote an effect handlers library for guile: https://codeberg.org/apropos/cio

<omentic>gotta get more examples implemented (async esp) but i'm p happy w/ it and thought i'd share :-D

<dthompson>congrats omentic :)

<cow_2001>what is the closest guile expression to bash's "foo | bar"?

<cow_2001>in terms of buffering, processes quitting, whatever

<cow_2001>whathaveyou

<cow_2001>i can use spawn and pipe but then i need to write things explicitly

<cow_2001>i mean, read bytes from foo and write them to bar, and how that's done is decided explicitly by me

<cow_2001>same for waiting on pids and all that

<rlb>(pipeline ...)?

<cow_2001>oh

<cow_2001>~;~
