<tohoyn>daviid: Have you considered upgrading G-Golf to guile 3.0?

<tohoyn>sneek, botsnack

<sneek>:)

<str1ngs>tohoyn: hello, there is work being done on that. but it's not the top priority right now.

<str1ngs>daviid probably could update you more on it though.

<dsmith-work>Morning Greetings, Guilers

<catonano>hi dsmith-work

<cyclopsian>Hey everyone, I've published some guile bindings for the wayland window system last month https://github.com/cyclopsian/guile-wayland

<cyclopsian>along with some bindings for xkbcommon and epoxy https://github.com/cyclopsian/guile-epoxy https://github.com/cyclopsian/guile-xkbcommon

<cyclopsian>with that, I was able to get EGL to work as well (it was never implemented in guile-opengl)

<rekado>cyclopsian: oh, that’s great!

<rekado>perhaps we will see a new guile-wm but for wayland then…?

<dsmith-work>So what's with wayland anyway? Why do people want it? Maybe I'm just old, but X11 seems fine for me.

<rekado>AFAIU X11 is not used as intended

<dsmith-work>Not trying for a flame war or anything. Just curious.

<rekado>combined with the separation of composition and writing to a window that’s done by toolkits there are a few ugly side effects, such as blanking when switching windows and the like

<rekado>wayland is a simplification in that regard as it makes the common use-case less cumbersome for today’s toolkits

<str1ngs>cyclopsian: https://github.com/cyclopsian/guile-wayland this is awesome. will this work with 2.2.7 at all?

<cyclopsian>str1ngs: probably? I never tested it, but it don't think it uses anything specific to 3.0

<str1ngs>cyclopsian: great.

<cyclopsian>let me know if you develop something cool with it :)

<joshuaBPMan>Hey guile people, I'm trying to send an email with guile...

<joshuaBPMan>I found this example on line

<joshuaBPMan> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2014-10/msg00030.html

<joshuaBPMan>but it's a little confusing. I've got msmtp set up. I tested it in a shell, now I am just trying to get it to work from guile.

<dsmith-work>Cool

<joshuaBPMan>I figured it out:

<joshuaBPMan> https://video.hardlimit.com/videos/watch/95ddfcce-0be7-4d2c-a1d4-8017deedfdeb

<joshuaBPMan>hmmm. now I'm trying to find guile's hash-ing function, so I can generate a message-ID.

<joshuaBPMan>well that was easy (hash <string> <a very large number>)

<rekado>joshuaBPMan: that’s not how you generate a cryptographic hash, though

<rekado>the second argument is for the size of the hash table
