<catonano_>I remember seeing a scheme library for processing graphs. But I can't recall its name <roelj>What's the difference between `(("test" ,some-record)) and `(("test" . ,some-record))? <quigonjinn>using (compile ... #:to 'cps), one gets the cps of the program after the optimization pases? <roelj>Nevermind, I found it. '(a . b) => (cons a b), '(a b) => (cons a (cons b nil)). <rekado_>roelj: the latter is just a pair, the former is a list. <rekado_>proper lists are chained cons cells that have the empty list at their core. <davexunit>looks like the new guile-json release fixes the issue I had with it <spk121>Cool. I'm going to make it to FOSDEM. Haven't done real Guile hacking in a while, but, should be fun. <amz3`>spk121: I will do a talk about my work with wiredtiger <amz3`>do you need/want me to create a particular applicationn? <amz3`>(outside guile-git stuff...) <spk121>amz3`: haven't tried the wiredtiger/mongoDB stuff, but, looks good. <amz3`>except I had troubles with the latest release :( <amz3`>I am kind of demotivated because of it <amz3`>I think mongodb is leaving behind the wiredtiger project and focus on their own high level database <amz3`>that's why I need to create an application that can be interesting enough to keep them motivated to maintain wiredtiger <amz3`>I already don't know what I want to build, so I'm not sure how I am supposed to know what they would want to see built <amz3`>it's much easier to create libraries IMO <amz3`>you already know what other developpers could put to good use <spk121>amz3`: I'm not surprised that MongoDB would do that. They bought wiredtiger to absorb it. <amz3`>that's bad news, anyway it will stay free software <amz3`>maybe someone will maintain instead of mongodb <spk121>not necessarily bad news. I predict that MongoDB will absorb wiredtiger, and then will create an SDK or API to help people move from one to the other. But that is just a guess. <amz3`>this is not likely to happen. You can move from a library to a networked database. <amz3`>except if you had a good Data Access Layer... <amz3`>actually it could be possible <amz3`>but MongoDB doesn't expose a ACID transaction API yet <paroneayea>I'm writing a dsl through which I can munge data like there's no tomorrow and even export an html document explaining how the munging works <janneke>a by mescc compiled `tiny-mes' now reads and displays a memory-dumped sexp: `(cons 0 1)' <spk121>amz3`: Coming up with an app is difficult. To use big data solution, one needs a big data problem to solve. <amz3`>no it's not big data, it's just data persistence to disk <amz3`>I have an idea for something but I need a 2D library that is not the browser... <amz3`>I am tired of doing broken browser stuff
