<amk9>is guile-figl using openvz ?

<amk9>it doesn't look like it is

<mark_weaver>no. guile-figl is guile binding for opengl.

<mark_weaver>do you mean openvz the virtualization thing?

<amk9>I asked the question to a co-worker why nobody seemed to use openvz and he told it was crap

<amk9>sorry not the good open*

<amk9>I mean the vertor accellerated thing

<mark_weaver>the two projects seem totally unrelated to me. I'm not sure what made you think they might be related.

<mark_weaver>oh, I see.

<amk9>openVG of course ;)

<amk9>this page is recent https://wiki.mozilla.org/OpenVG

<amk9> http://www.embedded.com/design/real-world-applications/4410726/Introduction-to-OpenVG-for-embedded-2D-graphics-applications

<mark_weaver>a grep of openvg in the guile-figl source yields no hits, so I guess there's no support. my knowledge of modern graphics APIs is fairly weak I'm afraid. one of these days I need to rectify that.

<amk9>«auto infotainment displays» that is a buzz word

<amk9>actually several

*davexunit picked up the little schemer at the MIT bookstore today.

*davexunit is having quite a lot of fun

<mark_weaver>that's a fun book

<davexunit>I saw the Scheme Programming Language book too, but I passed on that one for today.

<mark_weaver>the seasoned schemer is also quite good, and the reasoned schemer is especially interesting.

<davexunit>I don't think the bookstore has any of the others for sale. I guess I will order online when I want them.

<mark_weaver>I'm pretty sure I bought my copy of the reasoned schemer at the MIT bookstore as well, but that was several years ago.

<davexunit>I could have passed over it since I wasn't explicitly searching for it.

<davexunit>the little schemer is displayed very prominently in the computer science section

<davexunit>which is nice to see

<mark_weaver>I'm glad to hear it!

<youlysses>Has there been any-more news on this -- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2013-01/msg00132.html ?

<youlysses>Or really any general non-SCWM based window-managers in Guile.

*youlysses really does want to see a compositor for wayland one-day, in guile.

<stis>heya guilers!

<stis>How small can a general operator parser be? Look at

<stis> http://logic.cse.unt.edu/tarau/teaching/ProgLang/2009/yfx_operator.pdf

<stis>enjoy!

<shanecelis>Who maintains the SWIG guile code?

<dsmith>swig? Probably no one.

<add^_>at least I think it's pretty uptodate, so someone has to have updated it..

<mark_weaver>what makes you think that?

<add^_>It was uptodate last time I used it.. Not that I've used it for a while but I'm pretty sure it was for guile 2.x

<dsmith>Wow

<dsmith>I've had the impression it hasn't been relevant for guile since around guile 1.4 or 1.6.

<add^_>Also, the manual says it's for 2.0.x

<add^_>So there.

<add^_>:-P

<add^_>Sorry, I'm a bit tired--

<add^_>..

<mark_weaver>fair enough :) though the fact that it works with 2.0 doesn't mean that it needed updates. but I guess at least the manual has been updated so that's something.

<add^_>True

<add^_>:-)

<mark_weaver>anyway, I haven't seen any discussion about work on swig in guile circles in the last few years.

<add^_>Heh

<shanecelis>mark_weaver: Yeah, I had checked it out a while back and it definitely didn't work with guile 2.0, but it seems to be working now, even the C++->Goops side.

<mark_weaver>ah, okay.

<shanecelis>It does throw out some warnings with use of deprecated functions, but overall it's not in bad shape.
