<paroneayea>hello!

<cmaloney>Evening / TZAHello

<paroneayea>hi cmaloney :)

<cmaloney>Howdy (or Area Appropriate Greeting Here)

<sme>do the fields in a foreign object always have to be exact integers?

<davexunit>sme: a foreign struct? no.

<sme>i'm using the define-foreign-object-type

<sme>and getting oop/goops.scm:720:2: oop/goops.scm:720:2: Wrong type (expecting exact integer): "test"

<sme>when trying to set a slot

<davexunit>without any code it will be hard for anyone to help you

<sme> http://paste.lisp.org/display/348289

<davexunit>sme: sorry, I'm not sure how that's supposed to work. I've never used this API.

<sme>yeah i'm not quite sure of the use case

<nalaginrut>is it an existing one?

<sneek>nalaginrut, you have 1 message.

<sneek>nalaginrut, ArneBab_ says: I thought about this, because Guile should already provide most of the tools required for it.

<sme>was hoping to be able to assign a <pointer> to a field and attach a finalizer

<davexunit>sme: might be worth writing to guile-user about this.

<nalaginrut>ArneBab_: and it's possible to provide sever converters to convert PyObject to SCM, if it's unconvertable, then just wrap a PyObject in SCM and call Python interface to handle it

<nalaginrut>this would be generic way to support all kinds of languages

<nalaginrut>then we just need to provide front-end

<nalaginrut>the front-end is still necessary, or it may impossible to guarantee the scoping

<paroneayea> https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc/blob/master/proposals/gc/Overview.md explicitly calls out "a subset of scheme", which is nice

<cmaloney>I'd be happy with either Python or Scheme

<cmaloney>Heck, having C code in the browser would already make me happy

<cmaloney>We're talking heightened levels of giddy with scheme / python

<cmaloney>might need a towel
