<z0d>I'm looking at libguile and I want to call e.g. scm_version from C. how can I convert Scheme string into a C string?

<z0d>does that even make sense?

<lloda>z0d: see scm_from_string, scm_to_string in the manual

<lloda>rather scm_to_stringn

<lloda> https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Conversion-to_002ffrom-C.html#Conversion-to_002ffrom-C

<z0d>lloda: thank you, checking

<hugo>Could anyone help me with how I best create a guile record (srfi-9) from some C code?

<paroneayea>mwette: amz3: I recorded a note on this, luckily...

<paroneayea>oops that's the wrong one

<paroneayea>hm, maybe the info I thought I had doesn't match

<paroneayea>nm!

<amz3>intresting blog and interesting post

<amz3> http://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2017/07/11/PragmaticFunctionalProgramming.html

<OrangeShark>amz3: oh cool, an Uncle Bob blog post. It is interesting to see him move to functional programming and clojure.

<magnicida>any take on the easiest way to get guile 2.2 on travis ci?

<magnicida>i am guessing just getting the source and building it in the travis script (+ cache?)

<magnicida>but maybe there is some better way...?

<magnicida>i am really hoping for guix support on travis some day (they already have nix) but who knows...

<grr_>Hi. Anyone here?

<grr_>Wondering if there is anyone that can help regarding a question as I am new to guile

<daviid>grr_: go ahead and ask, don't ask to ask...

<grr_>Thought I was the only person here - which is why I didnt ask.

<grr_>:-)

<grr_>Anyway...

<amz3>I see a lot people..

<grr_>I am trying to get some more information of web scraping with guile

<grr_>As well as the manual, I came across this page on the same question. However, the example assumes you are using the repl, or that you can determine the variable name ($1, $2, $10, etc)

<grr_>This is the page that covers it im better detail. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2012-01/msg00049.html

<grr_>However, how do you scrape -- getting the results of the html string into your oen variable?

<grr_>(http-get (string->uri "http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/")) ;;; Returns 2 results ... into $1 and $2

<grr_>I hope my question makes sense?

<grr_>PS -- Yes... I see lots of people (now) -- haven't used IRC before.

<daviid>grr_: in the manual, look for Returning and Accepting Multiple Values

<grr_>Hi daviid -- l shall have a nose...

<grr_>Ahh... Okay... I see where we are going here.

<grr_>I will have a proper look at this section later tonight (Multiple values)

<grr_>Thank you. However, if anyone knows -- why return multiple values when scheme is good with lists?

<grr_>Something to do with multi processes? Anyway - will look at the manual. Thank you.

<paroneayea>hello, friends

<daviid>hi paroneayea

<OrangeShark>hi paroneayea

<paroneayea>hi daviid, OrangeShark :)

<amz3>hi paroneayea

<paroneayea>hi amz3

<amz3>fwiw there is cython implementation of psycopg binary protocol called asyncpg that is reported to be the fastest pgsql driver around

<amz3> https://github.com/MagicStack/asyncpg/

<faalentijn>hello paroneayea

<janneke>o/

<paroneayea>amz3: cool

<paroneayea>and hi faalentijn

<catonano>hi paroneayea

<paroneayea>heya catonano

<catonano>:-)

<cmaloney>hello

<faalentijn>Hello cmaloney!

<amz3`>Scheme For The Win http://spectrum.ieee.org/static/interactive-the-top-programming-languages-2017

<random-nick>hm, why is scheme marked as "Mobile"?

<ft>And Haskell as embedded.

<amz3`>THose means it's used in the mobile industry

<ArneBab_>Go stumbles over GC cost, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1h2g84EX1M ← I say "too", because I saw 50% GC load quite a few times with Guile.
