<civodul>Hello Guilers!

<wingo>moin :)

<wingo>how goes?

<civodul>good!

<civodul>currently under the sun of the south-east

<civodul>wingo: BTW thanks for your reply on the blog

<wingo>np, glad you liked the article

<rgrau>hi guilers. I was wondering what's the state of 'lua on guile'. I read something about it, but most of the info is 2 years old

<ijp>I started fixing some bugs on it a few months ago, but I ran into some trouble getting the parser to work at the repl

<ijp>I don't think I got any feedback on my last few patches

<ijp>the original author sent a reply to that thread, I think, officially washing his hands of it

<ijp> http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.devel/15990/focus=16231

<ijp>those patches are all you should need to make the tests pass if you merge the branch with master

<rgrau>thanks. is that 'lua' branch in the main guile repo?

<ijp>but you still won't be able to run lua files with it

<ijp>that requires a fix to the parser

<ijp>rgrau: yes

<rgrau>great

<civodul>ijp: on the Lua branch, were you waiting for feedback or something?

<ijp>I just wanted a yes/no on the merge

<nalaginrut>ijp: can it work?

<ijp>the patches weren't exactly controversial

<ijp>nalaginrut: define work

<ijp>without parser fixes (which weren't/aren't ready for inclusion) you can't run a lua file

<nalaginrut>I'm writing a guile-lua-rebirth, in 'common way' of guile, token & lalr

<nalaginrut>different from the original one

<ijp>once that's done, I don't think there was much problem with the code generation

<nalaginrut>that original parser is painful for me to hack

<ijp>it's painful just to look at

<nalaginrut>I think it'll spend same time to hack it than rewrite it with LALR

<nalaginrut> https://github.com/NalaGinrut/guile-lua-rebirth

<nalaginrut>lexer is done, parser is WIP

<nalaginrut>oops, I forget to finish get-exponent-number

<nalaginrut>done

<nalaginrut>anyway, hope I can finish the parser this weekend, before Lisp-in-summer-project

<civodul>ijp: "yes"

<civodul>:-)

<civodul>perhaps wingo knows better though

<civodul>well, we don't want to merge another unusable front-end also
