<ArneBab>sneek: later tell dthompson: I got into problems with chickadee and readline: chickadee play --repl text.scm (the simplest example) ⇒ (import (ice-9 readline)) ⇒ type a ( ⇒ segmentation fault.

<sneek>Got it.

<ArneBab>sneek: botsnack

<sneek>:)

<dsmith>sneek, botsnack

<sneek>:)

<mwette>sneek, botsnack

<sneek>:)

<ArneBab>cwebber: I just added wisp--eval-block (C-M-x) to the wisp-mode which copies the current block into a shell buffer. That works beautifully when having a live REPL to chickadee open in *shell*.

<ArneBab>cwebber: I thought that could interest you.

<cwebber>:O

<cwebber>ArneBab: very interesting

<cwebber>wait

<cwebber>oh

<cwebber>ok I got it

<cwebber>that's a bit alarming though maybe? maybe you could execute something unexpected

<ArneBab>cwebber: yes, it’s a bit risky and may need some tightening, but it works like a charm for a chickadee-game that provides a telnet-repl.

<ArneBab>cwebber: but you’re right: having *shell* as default may be a bit too risky — maybe I’ll have to get rid of the default and query for the buffer at the first call (and not only if the buffer does not have a process).

<cwebber>ArneBab: it's an interesting hack for sure :)

<cwebber>probably not the experience we want to provide though!

<cwebber>ArneBab: I still think the hacks I made were the best "experience" I have had

<cwebber>the ones that would wisp2lisp and push over to geiseer

<ArneBab>cwebber: those were wesp--eval-with-geiser, right? (that’s merged)

<cwebber>oh was it?!

<cwebber>I totally forgot, way cool

<cwebber>I think so...

<umanwizard>Hello. I'd have expected this snippet to return a string with my current username. Why doesn't it?

<umanwizard>(call-with-output-string

<umanwizard> (lambda (port)

<umanwizard> (spawn "whoami" '("whoami") #:output port)))

<umanwizard>instead it returns the empty string and also prints "whoami: write error: Bad file descriptor"

<ArneBab>cwebber: … but I had forgot to note it in NEWS ⇒ it’s in there now. Thank you!

<ArneBab>s/forgot/forgotten/

<ArneBab>cwebber: the default is now gone: you’ll have to select a buffer to send the code to.

<mwette>umanwizard: I played with it. I think #:ouput port needs to be file port.

<mwette>sad

<mwette>But I can guess why allowing all ports would make the implementation difficult.

<umanwizard>I see

<mwette>I created a container class for Gtk+-2 by subclassing, all in Scheme. No C at all. Just using the FFI-Helper to provide structures and procedure bindings.

<mwette>The entry is `packer-get-type'. snippet of code : https://paste.centos.org/view/40b1375e

<mwette>My single-button hello-world app works with this.
