<manumanumanu>Guten heute alle leute! How are we doing today?

<wingo>ACTION ported fibers to lua, woo

<civodul>woow :-)

<manumanumanu>now we only need to make guile-lua-rebirth run it!

<civodul>heheh, that'd be fun :-)

<manumanumanu>wingo: how did you do it? Curoutines i suspect?

<wingo>yeah coroutines

<wingo> https://github.com/snabbco/snabb/pull/1292

<wingo>a WIP...

<civodul>so you started working directly with coroutines and then felt that this wasn't as nice as CSP? :-)

<wingo>coroutines are insufficient :) you need a scheduler, channels, synchronization, etc

<wingo>coroutines are a building block like delimited continuations

<civodul>yeah i know, but i assume Lua users typically use them "directly" no?

<manumanumanu>I suspect however that coroutines, although not as general as delimited continuations, is faster.

<manumanumanu>continuation-based generators have quite a bit of overhead, no?

<manumanumanu>oh... you even wrote a blog about it :D :D

<manumanumanu>haha.

<wingo>civodul: dunno :) the snabb use case is a bit special; up to now we haven't used them at all

<wingo>but i was porting a tcp implementation and it turned out that you really want tcp endpoints to be implemented as fibers or processes or whatever and not state machines, so it seemed like a natural thing to port fibers over; seems to work but i haven't done any benchmarking yet

<civodul>interesting

<amz3>o/

<manumanumanu>ahoy hoy

<manumanumanu>so... about module versions... I am writing a pretty darn complete binding for libsodium, and I was wondering if I could use module versions to keep up with new specs.

<manumanumanu>I am currently pretty much feature complete for libsodium-1.0.16

<manumanumanu>but when libsodium-1.0.17 adds a feature, can I support both with the same codebase in any way?

<manumanumanu>you have got to be kidding. libsodium has a crypto_box function utilizing xchacha20poly1305, but it isn't effin documented.

<manumanumanu>jesus christ that was a waste of time on my behalf.

<manumanumanu>sad day.

<spk121>does anyone have a Guile solution to convert audio files to PCM bytevectors

<daviid>spk121: I don't know, but if something ever existed, it might be listed here http://sph.mn/c/view/g2

<spk121>daviid: cool library page

<daviid>spk121: yes, it's not mine, it's tantalum (that his/her name)
