<rekado>stis: I’d be delighted to see these improvements make it into Guile proper. Can these modifications be upstreamed? <stis>It is a huge work and I would appriciate that we can work together on this one <stis>and yes, havingit in guile should be the goal <stis>But keeping it as a library means that we can test it separately first, as we do not want to get something unstable to guile <stis>And the library path is not terrible as you can patch guile's write/display function to get most of guile using the library write, works for 99% of the cases <stis>which means that for example format will use the library write in stead of guile's C write <lechner>Hi, how can i get the current epoch timestamp as a string, please? <lilyp>(compose number->string current-time) <lilyp>though if you're using srfi 18, you might have to do time->seconds in between <lechner>Hi, from a noobie: Is there something better than (append (list a b c) (list d)) to concatenate four lists? Thanks! <lechner>actuall, what i'm looking for is a caconical way to concatenate multiple lists, i.e more than two. <lilyp>either that or (apply append a (list b c d)) ;) ***Guest7513 is now known as chrislck
<lechner>singpolyma lilyp: you are right! sorry, still looping my head around lists of lists. as a side note, "consfiguring" Knot DNS with Guile in Guix is something i wished i had discovered ten years ago. <lechner>Hi, nyacc's FFI helper expects 'exec_prefix' in a pkg-config file, but from what i can tell that's not actually part of the specs. Should it parse the variables with command-line options in the same file instead? http://ix.io/3YTN <lechner>never mind. i'm asleep at the wheel. the variable is used but not defined! <stis>Ahh, got symbols working now <stis>and character but characters are slow now <civodul>hmm would be nice if one could obtain a "stack" object from a captured continuation, so you can pass it to display-backtrace
