<old>ArneBab: I can't find the snippet abour r7rs benchmarks: https://www.draketo.de/software/guile-snippets.html#benchmarking-guile-r7rs

<old>It seems to be in the PDF however

<old>Also would this benchmark be useful as a Guix package you think?

<cow_2001>what does "ref" stands for in list-ref and assq-ref and whatever? is it reference? why is it reference? i don't get it.

<old>Could be memory reference

<cow_2001>hmmmmmmmm

<sneek>Yey! tohoyn is back!!

<chrislck>cow_2001: what else would you use to distinguish these keywords from list, list-set!, assq, and assq-set! ?

<yarl>Hello guile.

<yarl>May I ask you what would be the expression to chown recursively a directory?

<yarl>(With a lot of files)

<unmatched-paren>yarl: you'd probably use something from (ice-9 ftw)

<yarl>unmatched-paren: Looking at this ;)

<ArneBab>old: I moved the snippet to "is guile fast?" → https://www.draketo.de/software/guile-fast.html

<ArneBab>old: I felt like it is a better fit there

<ArneBab>cow_2001: list-ref: get the reference at position i

<ArneBab>cow_2001: the alternative is what drop or member or assoc do: get a list starting at position i

<ArneBab>cow_2001: r7rs-benchmarks are a bit hard to package: lots of data you’d actually want to change. Though in general some of the tools I have in wisp/examples should be packages …

<old>ArneBab: Thanks

<old>It might be useful to make a GWL workflow in wisp instead then

<old>haugh: Almost done with a blog post for our formatter. I think it will be ready by tomorrow

<haugh>old, nice! I'm still hacking on the reader. I had an idea to lean into the line-orientation for settings, but, fair warning, I don't think it solves the tooling problems. I'll put something in here this evening EST

<haugh>Tell me how this makes you feel: #"two: {+ 1 1}"

<haugh>Do I hate ports or do I just suck?

<haugh>I'm a little lost. Can/should I push a whole string onto an output port? Do I need to build lookaheads in terms of individual chars?

<haugh>Sorry, INPUT port. I want to push a string back onto an open input port.

<haugh>So my first thought was reverse and map get-char but this whole situation smells bad.

<haugh>s/get/unget/

<haugh>aaaand I just found unget-string, pardon the spam :/
