<koz_>Does Guile have something similar to 'python -m SimpleHTTPServer'? <mark_weaver>Guile does include a simple web server, but I'm not familiar with what python has so I don't know how they compare. <koz_>mark_weaver: Oh, thanks! <koz_>I'm not saying it has to be *exactly* identical - I just wanted to see if similar functionality existed. <mark_weaver>well, for example, guile's built-in web server doesn't include out-of-the-box support for serving static files from a directory on the filesystem. <mark_weaver>but that's an example of something that would be quite easy to do <mark_weaver>you need to write some code that dispatches on the requests and generates the responses <koz_>mark_weaver: Well, my whole reason for asking is that I wanted a simple test webserver to serve local pages into my browser for previewing purposes. <koz_>(like, run inside a directory to see what it'd look like in a browser) <rain1>doesn't file:/// work for that? <rain1>thats how i check html stuff im working on <koz_>rain1: OK. Well, if that's the case, even better. <mark_weaver>for static files containing suitable filename extensions, file:/// works fine in my experience. <koz_>mark_weaver: Well, that's all I really plan to be testing with. <koz_>mark_weaver: Thank you!

<daviid>wingo: till it's fixed I'm locked in the past :) and love future... <wingo>interesting bug, i had forgotten about that <wingo>no news now but i will take a look <daviid>paroneayea: is it not in guildhall already? <daviid>guild list-packages -> ... i wak-fmt 0.7-2 formatting combinator library <paroneayea>daviid: though the version I have running here is newer <daviid>paroneayea: maybe you could update the guildhall package <paroneayea>daviid: sounds useful, but I don't really have time / am personally interested enough to learn to do that right now <wingo>tough to work on guildhall when one has guix :) <ijp>basically no reason to <ijp>as an aside, fmt is probably more cool than useful <paroneayea>so it would kind of be nice to have some ways to write things out rather than doing a billion string-join / string-append / format hacks <paroneayea>ijp: but I'd like to have it packaged even just for the cool factor <ijp>I have a similar fondness for (sxml transform) but I may be one of the few people who actually use that <paroneayea>I *did* listen to a talk wingo gave some time ago about how he'd like to try out fmt but knows it wouldn't be efficient to do all that procedure based composition in guile's current compiler but hopefully in the future, etc etc :) <paroneayea>I think it was at a javascript conference about scheme, or the reverse. <ijp>IO and efficiency don't really go anyway
