<pinoaffe>hi! I (think I) fixed the test macro on https://codeberg.org/spritely/hoot/pulls/761, but now I'm getting cyclical module errors - does anyone have tips on how to find the offending cycle? because chasing it down manually is quite tedious
<pinoaffe>and, just out of curiosity, what is the reason that hoot doesn't permit cyclical module dependencies whereas guile does?
<dthompson>it's a todo
<pinoaffe>ah, fair
<dthompson>easier to implement things by forbidding it and generally speaking it's not good practice
<dthompson>but we should allow it
<dthompson>for bootstrapping purposes, cycles are bad news so it has been nice to be strict thus far
<pinoaffe>yeah, that makes sense
<dthompson>does the cycle error give any context?
