<oriansj>pder: yes that is entirely intensional; as it allows one to mix features not supported in the C language into M2-Planet.
<oriansj>the use of # as line comments to allow the same file to be valid C code, to allow development with modern compilers like GCC
<oriansj>such that only differences in functional behavior need to be adjusted
<oriansj>janneke: something needs to be done about guix pull; as it is doing a full bootstrap from MesCC when the bootstrap GCC compiler has already been built locally and multiple versions of GCC exist locally.
<oriansj>because honestly full bootstrap on guix pull is straight up insanity
<xentrac>gio: I didn't know about Metamath Zero but it is very relevant to my interests!
<gio>Yes, it's a very interesting thing. There is also some HN discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21358674
<oriansj>gio: don't forget the important bit: https://github.com/digama0/mm0
<janneke>oriansj: i don't fully understand, maybe you can take this to #guix -- i'll be back in ~4h
<oriansj>ok
