<paroneayea>mark_weaver: I replied to you on the emacs devel list

<paroneayea>right now, in fact ;)

<paroneayea>I think the generic property list solution sounds exciting

*davexunit needs to get on that list

<paroneayea>not yet propagated to mailman, so http://pamrel.lu/6155d/raw/

<davexunit>subscribed.

<paroneayea>object properties are a crazy feature

<paroneayea>in a good way... I think!

<paroneayea>most probably! :)

<paroneayea>one of those many things I missed in the manual :)

<davexunit>yeah I've never really used them.

<davexunit>because I worry about abusing them instead.

<davexunit>but procedure documentation is an object property, I think.

<davexunit>so there's great uses for it.

<paroneayea>neat

<paroneayea>abuse all the features!

<davexunit>interesting email

<davexunit>need to follow it further

<davexunit>now that the flame-war appears to have stopped?

<paroneayea>the ill-informed haters left the list, not sure if flaming gone, but at least civil

<paroneayea>the unicode conversation looks like it is productive, if exhausting?

<ahills>does emacs have flame cycles on its mailer?

<paroneayea>emacs is not unknown to flamewars, let's put it that way

<paroneayea>also, I finally left #emacs

<paroneayea>I have over half a gig of #emacs logs, and I haven't really read it in the last 7 years

<davexunit>I also never look at #emacs

<davexunit>despite autojoining every time

<ahills>do you use the editor, or is there some correlation between guile and elisp?

<davexunit>I use the editor.

<davexunit>and I use the 'geiser' extension to interface with guile

<ahills>I thought about using guile to put scheme in vim, and then I tried to read the vim source code and gave up

<cluck>ahills: bipt thought about using guile to put scheme in emacs, and then he did

*cluck ducks

<zacts>ahills: have you tried neovim?

<zacts>also emacs provides evil-mode

<zacts>but I agree vim internals are scary

<ahills>I tried emacs evil mode and wanted to love it so much

<ahills>but it was impossible for me to do anything

<ahills>cluck: does emacs use guile now? I thought elisp was its own thing

<nalaginrut>morning guilers~

<mark_weaver>nalaginrut: I want to add you to the "fixes" section of our THANKS file. what name should I use?

<mark_weaver>ahills: There's a project to replace Emacs's own elisp interpreter with Guile. See http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs

<mark_weaver>the plan is to eventually make this the official emacs, when it's matured. it's still controversial in the emacs community, but RMS wants it.

<ahills>nice!

<ahills>is the VM new in guile 2.0?

<mark_weaver>yes

<nalaginrut>mark_weaver: thanks, should it necessary to be realname?

<mark_weaver>it doesn't have to be your real name; it's your decision.

<nalaginrut>Nala Ginrut would be fine, I think ;-)

<mark_weaver>okay

<nalaginrut>mark_weaver: btw, is there any way to tweak the port column in REPL when readline enabled?

<nalaginrut>I encountered a bug when colorize the prompt in REPL

<nalaginrut>the colorized prompt string is 80 length, so there's large blank when I tried to C-p to get previous input

<mark_weaver>nalaginrut: I know almost nothing about the guile-readline module (never use it myself), but 'set-port-column!' can be used to set the port's idea of what column it's in.

<mark_weaver>I don't know if that will help your problem or not.

<nalaginrut>I don't have any clue for this bug too, so I have to try any possible thing ;-)

<mark_weaver> http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/615220/341d13e4cd93d7d6/

<adhoc>interesting challenge indeed.

<nalaginrut>mark_weaver: big pressure now? ;-P

<nalaginrut>(maybe 'big' is insufficient)

<civodul>Hello Guilers!
