<sneek>Welcome back dthompson, you have 2 messages!

<sneek>dthompson, ArneBab says: since rnrs isn’t optimized like core stuff, but it’s often similar, would "optimize rnrs where it needs the same approach as core stuff" be a good starting task for people who want to improve Guile?

<sneek>dthompson, ArneBab says: that could also benefit Scheme as a whole, because it would nudge people towards writing more portable code. With experience many will converge on using the fastest patterns.

<dthompson>sneek I really wish you were more channel aware

<dthompson>this was clearly from #guile

<dthompson>aaaanyway, what I wanted to say, before sneek interjected...

<dthompson>is that a new announcement is imminent

<jfred>:O

<identity>big things are coming™

<dthompson>also, since I've mentioned it everywhere but here lately, the lisp game jam starts on friday!

<dthompson> https://itch.io/jam/spring-lisp-game-jam-2026

<dthompson>and since the game jam is about to start, it's a good time for a new hoot release!

<dthompson> https://spritely.institute/news/hoot-0-9-0-released.html

<fantazo>dthompson: oh just saw this game jam. never wrote a game in lisp.

<dthompson>it's an interesting experience, in scheme or otherwise

<fantazo>dthompson: hmm. previous game jams in other languages were mostly disappointing to me. not getting stuff done in time.

<dthompson>time management is the biggest challenge in a jam

<dthompson>I failed at many jams before ever submitting something

<dthompson>it's project management by fire

<fantazo>still suffering from burnout also does not help me. getting interested in anything to do something is hard for me currently. for me is 99% of stuff in some way or another "pointless" to do.

<dthompson>yeah I get that. have felt that way before.

<fantazo>but today I got a little bit of motivation to at least get one book about game dev from the library.

<dthompson>:)

<dthompson>that's great

<jfred>hoooot!

<dthompson>it's amazing anyone finishes a game at all. they're hard to make.

<dthompson>jfred: you will find your name amongst the diamond supports list. tyvm

<jfred>:)

<fantazo>dthompson: it doesn't help either when you are kicked out of your community around the time where you have the burnout and the whole AI hype shits on what was your "craft".

<ArneBab>What’s the command I need to build code that worked in hoot 0.8.0 with guild compile-wasm?

<ArneBab>old call: guild compile-wasm --bundle -g runtime-modules -o repl.wasm repl.scm

<ArneBab>new call: hoot compile --bundle -g0 -o repl.wasm repl.scm

<ArneBab>ANd I get the error: "No run-time module registry; recompile with -g">

<ArneBab>(runs on https://www.draketo.de/software/programming-scheme )

<ArneBab>fantazo: burnout sucks :-( I wish you strength to get through that!

<ArneBab>I plan to build a story game on top of enter-three-witches¹ for the game jam, but I want to get the hoot repl on the programming-scheme page working with 0.9.0 … ¹ https://www.draketo.de/software/enter-three-witches

<ArneBab>fantazo: what helped me cope with the AI craze was a story by a blind author who talks about how he rebuilt his writing group: https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/the-colonization-of-confidence/

<ArneBab>(and how writers regained the confidence to practice the craft they love)

<jfred>ArneBab: oh that's really good

<ArneBab>dthompson: the fix is to replace -gruntime-modules by -fruntime-modules …
