<vijaymarupudi>I'm interested in trying to get an srfi, srfi 214, into guile. I have a modified version of the sample implementation that works on guile 3.0.7. Would that be welcome? Should I send a patch or wait for maintainers first?
<vijaymarupudi>Link to srfi: <https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-214/srfi-214.html>
<rlb>wingo: *brilliant* thanks so much, and not sure about the other question, will have to delve later. Might well just be something lokke should change.
<rlb>Some of the compilation, bootstrapping bits are still shaky in my estimation.
<rlb>Though I may also end up with some suggestions for multi-dialect improvements for guile.
<rlb>And I'm not sure, but there's a small but non-zero chance I'll try to resume the utf-8 work, unless someone else is now on it.
<rlb>(in the next week(s), but no one should wait on me)

<mwette>rlb: I played w/ multi-lang guile loads a while back: github.com/mwette/guile-contrib/patch-2.2.4/load.patch
<wingo>really pleased that the `read' rewrite in scheme worked
<wingo>would be nice to always enable the scheme get-u8 etc routines from suspendable-ports, now that we have a jit. maybe in 3.2
<vijaymarupudi>daviid: g-golf seems to expect the procedure in this snippet to be a pointer https://paste.gnome.org/pu9idcdcy
<vijaymarupudi>daviid: docs for the function: https://docs.gtk.org/gio/func.bus_watch_name.html
<dsmith-work>Hey Hi Howdy, Guilers
<ArneBab>vijaymarupudi: I think you should send a patch — waiting just leads to more round-trip-times.
<theothornhill>I downloaded the texinfo sources for guile to install the manual. However, I struggled a little because it was missing a file "hierarchy.txt" in goops.texi. Is that expected?
***daviid` is now known as daviid
<daviid>sneek: later tell vijaymarupudi g-golf curently doesn't support callback, working on it, will let you know, but it's going to take sometime
<sneek>Will do.
<vijaymarupudi>daviid: Ah I see, no rush :)
<sneek>vijaymarupudi, you have 1 message!
<sneek>vijaymarupudi, daviid says: g-golf curently doesn't support callback, working on it, will let you know, but it's going to take sometime
<vijaymarupudi>ArneBab: sounds good, will submit it soon
