<jfred>daviid: oh neat, thanks for letting me know

<mwette>list
<morenonatural>hey, y'all ... is there anything like Emacs' `locate-dominating-file` in vanilla Guile? as a separate lib/package?
<civodul>$1 = #<procedure list _>
<civodul>(twas for mwette :-))
<civodul>morenonatural: there’s no such thing in Guile proper
<civodul>i don’t know if there are libraries providing it
<morenonatural>civodul, k, thx
<janneke>,describe list-ref
<janneke>ACTION is trying out the new handy civodul bot
<dthompson>morenonatural: check out in-vicinity... might be close?
<dthompson>undocumented!
<civodul>janneke: Return the Kth element from LIST.
<civodul>sneek is overrated
<janneke>civodul: (y) hehe
<morenonatural>dthompson, that's more of a function to join paths, I'm looking for a function that searches a directory's parents recursively for a basename in them... but thx anyway
<dthompson>ah okay. :(
<mwette>civodul: appreciated
<old>this might be a better question to asked in #geiser, but: When I open a scheme file in my project, the REPL can be quite long to load because it is launch in a guix profile that might needs to be updated. That is not a problem on its own. What is a problem is that I cannot seek the file in Emacs while this is happening
<old>So any idea on how to tell Geiser, load the REPL in the background, let me check the file meanwhile?
