<chrislck>sorry for basic question -- if I try (define (get-xy x y) ((sxpath '(// (tr x) // (td y) *text)) sxml) -- how exactly do I unquote x? is it possible or do I need to make a macro?

<ft>(let ((x 23)) `(foo bar ,x baz)) => (foo bar 23 baz)

<amz3>+1

<amz3>replace the ' by ` and x by ,x

<amz3>and y by ,y

<ft>The term to look for is quasiquote

<chrislck>... I succeeded with define-macro... didn't know quote/quasiquote/unquote also works in normal defines

<chrislck>so much fun

<amz3>:)

<civodul>Outreachy & GSoC participation for Guix: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2018/join-gnu-guix-outreachy-gsoc/

<civodul>spread the word! :-)

<rlb>civodul: hey - with respect to 2.0.14 -- it's not in unstable/testing because before this latest problem with the tests (sandbox.test hanging sometimes and test-out-of-memory failing sometimes), I was planning to try very hard to remove guile-2.0 before the freeze. And it's not in stretch because I haven't had time to look at it, and then consult the release managers about the possibility of allowing it.

<rlb>Once I resolve the test issues (and get 2.2 back into testing), I can try to take a look wrt stretch.

<rlb>Current plan is to skip (or ignore failures) wrt test-out-of-memory for now, and possibly to skip part or all of sandbox.test (if y'all thank that's reasonable upstream) -- part, if I can figure out which part is causing the hang.

<rlb>From the log, looks to be getting stuck on "1e6 alloc loop".

<rlb>I an easily reproduce it with a "while true; make -j4 test; do" loop here now (after it runs for a while).

<rlb>And test-out-of-memory can be coaxed to fail by just running it alone in a loop.

<rlb>ACTION will file bugs soon.

<civodul>rlb: isn't test-out-of-memory a 2.2 test?

<manumanumanu>that would be a sad ending to this

<manumanumanu>Has anyone implemented brainfuck for the guile VM?

<manumanumanu>Like a complete tunable brainfuck experience where one can tweak the behaviour of memory over/underflows to actually be able to run most bf stuff. That would be nice

<manumanumanu>I have an old bf program that factors arbitrary sized integers in an even larger arbitrary amount of time, but the interpreter I used is long since abandoned.

<manumanumanu>it was nice to write :D

<rlb>civodul: yes, and getting guile-2.2 back in testing is higher priority for me right now.

<amz3>did someone here tried swish, chez scheme take on erlang paradigm https://github.com/becls/swish

<amz3>there is a big 100 pages manual but I did not have time to read it yet

<hugo>Does foreign objects work? I get segmentation faults on `scm_make_foreign_object_1'.
