<mala>Interesting side-discussion after I posted Jonathan Rees' OOP post a while back on Lobsters: https://lobste.rs/s/zna0ob/jonathan_rees_on_what_is_object_oriented#c_dmyezg

<cwebber>mala: love references to the old E mailing list

<cwebber>which was full of gems

<cwebber>only possible to read through the wayback machine anymore, alas

<jfred>Goblins's design feels similar, and I guess that's not a coincidence :)

<jfred>I started poking at the persistence stuff last night, and it's very slick - though I have a feeling I'm going to need to refactor a few things to get Horton persisting ^^;

<jfred>I used a few tricks in there like this that I bet will gum up the works: https://gitlab.com/jfrederickson/guile-horton/-/blob/master/horton.scm?ref_type=heads#L230

<jfred>Also when I saw that genenetwork post yesterday I sent it to Melissa to see if she could make heads or tails of it. She knows what it does, I have no idea XD

<dckc>I forget: how do I add the current working directory to my load path so that (load "alice.scm") will Just Work? I'm in a repl, in guieser, in emacs

<dckc>dthompson, I guess what I need to do is change directory

<dckc>ah... found my notes... (add-to-load-path (getcwd))

<dthompson>guile's load path is consulted for loading modules, like with (use-modules ...) but is *not* used for 'load' afaik

<dthompson>since 'load' is more primitive

<dckc>right... I was kinda wrapped around the axel

<dckc>i needed to (chdir) to get (load "alice.scm") to work,

<dckc>but then alice.scm did (use-modules (endo)) so I had to (add-to-load-path (getcwd)) to get that to work

<dckc>for context: https://github.com/Agoric/agoric-sdk/pull/8184 and https://github.com/Agoric/agoric-sdk/blob/dc-escrow-formal/packages/zoe/spec/alice.scm

<dckc>today I realized that alice.scm isn't working due to a regression.

<dckc> https://github.com/Agoric/agoric-sdk/blob/dc-escrow-formal/packages/zoe/spec/amount-properties.scm is the currently working bit

<dckc>I should probably start a new project / repository

<dckc>but... hm... the target _is_ a reimplementation of zoe escrow, so maybe not
