<paroneayea>I'm putting to use the define-method* stuff you wrote in response to my question back in 2015 :)

<paroneayea>mark_weaver: I'm guessing you're fine with LGPLv3+ ?

<paroneayea>mark_weaver: also, you seemed open to the idea of it being contributed to Guile proper... what do you think of (ice-9 define-method-star) ?

<paroneayea>it's something that every now and then I really want

<DeeEff>woah now there can only be one DeeEff in here.

<DeeEff>:)

<nalaginrut>I can't dynamic-link any existing file in correct lib path, so strange

<nalaginrut>mark_weaver: oh, thanks for the commit about pointer->procedure ;-)

<nalaginrut>interesting, Guile doesn't search /usr/lib for me, only /usr/local/lib since I installed it to /usr/local

<nalaginrut>so dynamic-link always failed

<nalaginrut>the same error appears to 2.0.13 and 2.1.5

<paroneayea>wingo: davexunit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0JTvyCxiv8 nice talk on a "more concurrent" Java GC

<paroneayea>maybe of interest to both of you

<paroneayea>seems to reduce GC pause time dramatically

<qwebirc34216>hello, is Ludo' around?

<paroneayea>qwebirc34216: hello! no, but we could relay a message

<paroneayea>qwebirc34216: welcome to #guile / what's up?

<paroneayea>or maybe we could help you already :)

<qwebirc34216>paroneayea: Thanks. I'm working on getting Skribilo to output floating tables in it's latex output

<paroneayea>aha

<paroneayea>I'm no skribilo expert, but I have used it, but maybe I can't answer here :)

<paroneayea>what's your issue?

<qwebirc34216>paroneayea: trying to pass a legend to the later writer, but it is always empty on output.

<qwebirc34216>paroneayea: I should add that my knowledge of guile is limited

<paroneayea>qwebirc34216: are you familiar with the Skribilo mailing list?

<paroneayea>maybe the best route is to post the code you're using there.

<paroneayea> http://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/index.html#mailing-list

<qwebirc34216>paroneayea: OK I'll try that. Thanks.

<paroneayea>ACTION actor'ifying 8sync's irc bot code, and it's getting considerably simpler thanks to it

<paroneayea>and

<paroneayea>now I have a great basis for writing an 8sync tutorial

<paroneayea>who doesn't want to write an irc bot? :)

<wingo>:)

<janneke>ACTION found another factor 15 performance in Mes, enabling moving some C to Scheme

<paroneayea>nice janneke :)

<janneke>thanks paroneayea

<janneke>yeah, quite happy...

<janneke>mes is still at least 5x slower than guile-1.8

<janneke>but size is much more important than speed

<qwebirc34216>\\quit

<amz3>o/

<roelj>Say I have (define my-string "Hello world"), and I (symbol-append 'my- 'string), how can I get "Hello world" from the result of symbol-append?

<roelj>Now the result of (sxml->xml my-string) is simply "my-string".

<janneke>ACTION moved 300 lines of C code from Mes core to scheme; define, quasiquote and most of the reader
