<shapr>hello, I'd like to try out spritely goblins, is there a suggested tutorial?

<shapr>Perhaps I just install racket and load goblins?

<shapr>should I expect the guile and racket implementations to have the same functionality?

<shapr>Is there a suggested emacs setup for goblins?

<dthompson>shapr: both the guile and racket versions have similar functionality, but guile is our focus moving forward and guile-goblins has better debugging features now.

<dthompson>you can find the docs for either version at the bottom of this page https://spritely.institute/goblins/

<dthompson>and here's a direct link to the getting started section of the guile-goblins manual that includes some info about emacs setup https://spritely.institute/files/docs/guile-goblins/0.11.0/Getting-started.html

<shapr>thank you!

<dthompson>shapr: and of course, continue asking questions here. :)

<shapr>definitely!

<dthompson>goblins introduces ideas that are new to a lot of people, myself included when I first got started.

<shapr>I was vaguely interested in E from e-rights.org long years ago, so I'm hoping I have some context.

<shapr>I've also worked with Tahoe-LAFS (least authority filesystem) so that may help.

<shapr>or it might not, I'm excited to find out

<dthompson>oh great, I think that's a great foundation.

<dthompson>I didn't have that context going in, though I knew scheme pretty well.

<shapr>I haven't used scheme in many years, but I've had some Haskell jobs, might help

<dthompson>I think you'll do just fine :)

<shapr>I'm happy the hacking guide tells me which emacs packages to install

<Zarutian_iPad>shapr: h'lo. You probably seen me in the irc channel for tahoe-lafs back in the day.

<shapr>howdy Zarutian_iPad

<Zarutian_iPad>and I too am fan of E of erights.org

<shapr>I heard about it from Darius Bacon long ago

<shapr>he got me interested

<shapr>though at the moment I'm fighting with guile in NixOS so I can get started

<shapr>seems that guile 2 has the required libs, but not guile 3, hmm

<Zarutian_iPad>what I have been working on on and off for a long while are ocaps via active certificates

<cwebber>hi shapr! welcome!

<shapr>hello cwebber !

<shapr>I think we've only communicated over mastodon, this is the first real time

<cwebber>ah yes! welcome! :)

<cwebber>nice to see you here

<shapr>yeah! it's refreshing to try something new

<shapr>aha, this worked: nix-shell -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-unstable -p guile guile-gcrypt guile-fibers guile-gnutls autoconf gnumake automake pkg-config guile-config guile-lib

<wingo>moo

<dthompson>oh hey wingo is here :)

<dthompson>or was ;)

<Zarutian_iPad>wingo: hmm?
