<DerGuteMoritz>wingo: you might also like http://mechanical-sympathy.blogspot.de/ if you don't know it already

<wingo>i found that one only recently

<DerGuteMoritz>ah good :-)

*DerGuteMoritz is pretty much clueless about this stuff

<wingo>it looked intimidatingly good so i put it away from me for a while ;)

<DerGuteMoritz>heh!

***fangism-shadow is now known as fangism-hongry

*bipt reads noah's libjit patches

<Nafai>Hey bipt. How's it going?

<bipt>Nafai, pretty well, just finishing an independent study course on lambda calculus and combinatory logic this week

<Nafai>sounds interesting

<ArneBab_>wingo: the binary search page is awesome. Thanks!

<nalaginrut>heya guys~

<civodul>Hello Guilers!

<ArneBab_>Hi civodul, nalaginrut

<wingo>moin

<nalaginrut>wingo: do you need a (ice-9 mmap)? ;-P

<DerGuteMoritz>hi guilerinos!

<nalaginrut>DerGuteMoritz: heya~

<nalaginrut>ArneBab_: hi~

<DerGuteMoritz>what are the haps?

<nalaginrut>hmm..what?

<nalaginrut>DerGuteMoritz: is there mmap in chicken?

<DerGuteMoritz>yes, there is a binding

<DerGuteMoritz> http://api.call-cc.org/doc/posix#sec:Memory_mapped_I.2fO

<nalaginrut>ah~yeah, so we should add it

<civodul>nalaginrut: in the meantime, it's easily done with (system foreign)

<nalaginrut>civodul: you mean let it done by users?

<civodul>i mean by whoever needs it, until it's in libguile

<nalaginrut>civodul: how about add it in libguile now? ;-P

<nalaginrut>it's useful for web-framework and server

<nalaginrut>for big files

<civodul>when it's in libguile, you'll have to wait for the next release, and tell your users to upgrade

<civodul>so you still need an interim solution

<nalaginrut>OK, I see your point

<nalaginrut>I'll wrap my own one, but I wish add it in the next release ;-P

<wingo>nalaginrut: yes!

<wingo>yeah send some ideas on how you want the interface to look to the list

<wingo>agreed with civodul tho :)

<nalaginrut>wingo: OK

***nalaginrut_ is now known as nalaginrut

<nalaginrut>wingo: I do think define-enumeration could be the way to implement literal hashtable

<nalaginrut>wingo: it's in dwarf.scm

<nalaginrut>oops, it's reversed, but fine~

<davexunit>a literal hash table syntax would be great

<davexunit>but maybe that's what an alist is for?

<DerGuteMoritz>an alist is not a hash table though

<DerGuteMoritz>or are you thinking of alist->hash-table?

<ijp>no, but alist->hash-table is easy to write (and already in srfi 69)

<DerGuteMoritz>right

<ijp>(note srfi-69 hashtables do not directly correspond to guile hashtables)

<DerGuteMoritz>almost a hash table literal

<ijp>(and they're better)

<ijp>(and post-scripts are the new cool thing on IRC)

<ijp>(obviously)

<davexunit>DerGuteMoritz: yeah I know they're different

<DerGuteMoritz>srfi-69 hash-tables are better?

<DerGuteMoritz>(only when parenthesized)

<ijp>well, srfi-69 hashtables are implemented using guile's hashtables, but the interface is better

<DerGuteMoritz>I see!

<nalaginrut>srfi-69?! never tried

<DerGuteMoritz>mutable alas

<ijp>well, immutable maps are a thing I love, but I don't expect it from something advertising itself as a hashtable

<DerGuteMoritz>ok, true :-)

<ijp>if you hashtable-copy in r6rs you get an immutable version

<ijp>controllable by an optional argument

<DerGuteMoritz>are there add / remove functions for those, too?

<ijp>alas, no

<ijp>it's more of a "seal-this-up-jim" deal

<DerGuteMoritz>heh
