<wingo>i feel like i would have less of a need for name sigils like *earmuffs* or %percentiles if we had more provably immutable data

<wingo>right now one of the functions of these sigils is to tell the reader "don't use append! on this data structure or you will have a bad time"

<davexunit>we should use 'guix pack' to make something like this

<davexunit>we can't target windows or osx yet, but eventually it would be possible.

<davexunit>guile 2.2 + emacs + git + geiser + magit + paredit

<davexunit>something like that

<reggggieee>hi, i have a question regarding foreign characters. if i do say (display "é") i get 2 question marks. what do I have to do to work with those kinds of characters?

<OrangeShark>reggggieee: use (setlocale LC_ALL "")

<OrangeShark> https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Locales.html#index-setlocale

<reggggieee>OrangeShark: thnx i tried that, and i get ERROR: In procedure setlocale: Invalid argument

<reggggieee>or am i supposed to put in something in the quotes

<OrangeShark>they are suppose to be empty to the default

<OrangeShark>empty to use the default

<amz3>the behavior changed in 2.2 I think setlocale is not required anymore

<davexunit>amz3: neat experiment

***ertesx is now known as ertes

<codemac>I remember there being something like a 'read-and-eval!' function in guile, is that no longer? And is there anything equivalent, or is it just as loop with eof-object?
