<alexei_>"searching for" is not yet "loading" <mark_weaver>existing code that uses 'search_path' assumes that it will exclude directories. we cannot change that without breaking things. <alexei_>that is all right. I will put a dummy config file into that dir. Just another opinion for statistics. <ijp>and search-path is pretty explicit that it searches for files <mark_weaver>alexei_: (define (search-path* path name) (or-map (lambda (d) (let ((p (string-append d "/" name))) (and (file-exists? p) p))) path)) <alexei_>thanks! I will have to add some kind of "manifest file" anyway. The files I search for have litle metadata. These are not Scheme sources, actually. ***ijp` is now known as ijp
<ijp>please send prescriptions for anti-psychotics to ianprice90@googlemail.com <mark_weaver>ijp: sometimes I think that if you spent half the time on Guile that you spend on crazy uses of 'fold', you'd be a top contributor :) <ijp>I think you need to phrase patches in the form of "I bet you can't" <mark_weaver>ijp: I bet you can't improve the (ice-9 match) documentation :) ***ijp is now known as captainpicard

<ijp>til weinholt wrote an erlang supercompiler <weinholt>and now i work for ericsson, though ironically not on anything related to erlang <ijp>I saw it on your github <ijp>if you wanted it a secret, it should have been on sourceforge :) <ijp>weinholt: what made you choose that for your masters? <weinholt>my professor had heard of a problem, suggested i try to solve it for my thesis, and after reading up on it a supercompiler seemed like the most fun solution
