<wingo>incidentally fibers should probably move elsewhere, i don't really maintain it right now -- my only open question was whether it should ever go into guile itself

<civodul>uh, i have 26K notifications

<civodul>it would probably make sense to have in Guile proper

<civodul>since it's very cool :-) and somewhat tied to internals

<wingo>apparently java is adding fibers -- https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/425

<civodul>OTOH having it outside also has pros

<wingo>yeah not sure. until now guile has moved faster than fibers

<civodul>yeah

<wingo>but now fibers is getting more use and maybe you want it to work on different guile versions? dunno

<wingo>anyway, i think it's a fundamental facility that would be natural to have in guile

<civodul>ah yes, that too

<civodul>yes

<wingo>am just not quite sure about it :)

<civodul>well, so far it works well as a separate project

<civodul>and yes, it lets people support different Guile versions if they wish

<civodul>so in that sense the status quo is okay

<wingo>yeah. am ok having it under my github space, would be fine with it elsewhere too, if maintained with an eye of eventually going into guile

<wingo>so, fine. we continue as is :)

<civodul>yes, that should be the horizon

<civodul>and yes for moving away from GitHub

<wingo>maintenance-wise plz feel free to do whatever you like with it

<civodul>heh, ok

<wingo>just saying that so i'm not in the way :)

<wingo>happy to look at patches tho

<wingo>i do like the pull request / merge request workflow

<civodul>ok, noted!

<wingo>also should fibers performance start to be an issue, i think we could probably replace the run queue with a chase-lev work-stealing deque (https://github.com/wingo/gcbench/blob/main/parallel-marker.h#L13-L245)

<wingo>would have to reset queue entries to #f but that's not a huge deal

<sneek>:)

<ArneBab>wingo: I think fibers belongs into Guile, because the new version uses low-level optimizations.

<ArneBab>wingo: but yes, it would need to be supported across different guile version, so maybe external might be better …

<ArneBab>The one advantage of moving it into Guile would be that it would automagically be packaged in many different distros.

<sneek>chrislck: Greetings :)

<tricon>anyone know if there's been any work on supporting cookies for module (web client)?

<stis>Hi guilres!

<stis>hmm guilers!

<spk121>tricon: there were a couple of other projects that did cookies: ttn's guile-www and then guile-curl. I don't know if either project currently builds and runs, though

<tricon>spk121: good to know. thank you for the info.

<jab>so I am just learning and playing with map, fold, apply and friends....are named lets usually faster than using srfi srfi-1 ?

<jab>that's what I am starting to think.

<mwette>try par-map
