<paroneayea>I like the scriptability of skribilo
<nikita1>nalaginrut: I've filed a bug with all odd lines found.
<daviid>paroneayea: we have stexi
<reepca>is display (within inspect) supposed to take arguments? "help display" just says that it prints the "current object", yet when I attempt to display something it says "invalid arguments to display."
<amz3`>reepca: can you make a minimal program that reproduce the issue?
<paroneayea>wow
<paroneayea> http://clsql.kpe.io/manual/ch02s02.html CLSQL seems pretty solid as a db system for common lisp
<paroneayea>does a lot of fancy CLOS stuff
<paroneayea>looks really hard to get done/right though
<paroneayea>ACTION bumps into it from http://www.more-magic.net/posts/lispy-dsl-ssql.html
<amz3`>paroneayea: interesting
<amz3`>paroneayea: I will try to read that
<amz3`>What i've been wondering is whether i can implement ssql using wiredtiger, I don't if that would be helpful?
<paroneayea>amz3`: I don't think it makes sense for wiredtiger does it?
<paroneayea>amz3`: wiredtiger isn't using using sql is it?
<amz3`>paroneayea: no but I can add support for sql
<paroneayea>amz3`: that more-magic post shows some of the challenges experienced in trying to do scheme -> sql
<amz3`>that's the issue, a lot of people are used to thincking in terms of SQL
<paroneayea>which is more of a meditation on why certain classes of transforms from an abstract AST (eg lisp sexps) to some "stringly typed" system which may even have a lot of nonstandard extensions can be very difficulty
<paroneayea>difficult
<amz3`>yes
<reepca>amz3`: ,inspect 2 <RET> display <RET>. I might be misunderstanding what "display" is supposed to do.
<manumanumanu>wow... string-contains is slow... is it really using kmp string searching?
<manumanumanu>I mean, the srfi-13 is, but I can't find the source of the guile implementation
<manumanumanu>oh: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/tree/libguile/srfi-13.c :ยด(
<manumanumanu>I'll see if I can make one that works. My C is really rusty though.
<manumanumanu>that will be tomorrow's project! good night
