I know both languages but I prefer CL for real work hmm, what do you mean by 'real work' 02:30pm Well, Scheme seems like a fine language for students learning lisp i am not a student ;) mibin: anything complex which would require more than 25 KLOC lines c++ or java it is fine for smaller tasks as well, but the difference is really crystal clear when projects grow mibin: BUT.. CL gives you no fewer problems when hacking code.. just different problems ie when using CL you soon start doing things almost impossible in other languages it's really sad.. there is no end to possible problems :( 02:40pm no, programming would be boring without them :P just kidding I'm serious fufie? you are not quite sure myself yet :) :) hmm, but abi is not written in lisp i believe abi, infobot? infobot is at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~infobot i believe abi is perl 02:50pm -:- eihrul [lee@usr5-ppp84.lvdi.net] has joined #tunes -:- hcf [nef@me-portland-us712.javanet.com] has joined #tunes -:- SignOff yoo: #TUNES (Leaving) -:- smoke [smoke@16dyn167.delft.casema.net] has joined #Tunes hello -:- pyro [tcn@cci-209150250091.clarityconnect.net] has joined #tunes hey fellas hi nobody else is really here? nope me :p om 03:40pm oh hmm 03:50pm -:- SignOff pyro: #TUNES (pyro has no reason) -:- fire [no@209-68-229-206.dialup.cust.tfb.com] has joined #tunes howdy hey what's up did you guys develope tunes while i was gone ;) -:- hcf has changed the topic on channel #tunes to: Free Reflective Computing System well, note quite... but i think fare might have rewrote some web pages D: about time i would have been productive but i've been caught up playing Alpha Centauri om * AlonzoTG/#tunes has NO DOZE to play that on. PHUCK MICRO$LIMY D: you might have to do something rash, like make tunes instead... what a pity yes indeed 04:30pm i guess i'll have to pick up from where i started...8 lines of scheme code 12 actually What is toonze anyway? lol you have been hanging around here for how long? yarn. several at least. and you don't know what tunes is? I came here to ask what tunes was... and nobody gave me a good enough answer, and the answer has sortof entropied.... tunes is an ultimate computing system in a nutshell u'd wish. um your language has become rather degraded om too much just sitting in my room alll day and not talking to anyone. could you cut it out with the 1334 crap? * Fare/#Tunes is back 1334? leea? =P 1337 whatever i write my t's like 4's anyway in my handwriting OpenSRS is an open source and cheap domain name registration system at http://www.opensrs.org/ fare: you rewrite some pages? fire: yes? which ones? if you mean the page on reflection, well, I had negative feedback on the web, and decided to make it undeserved a posteriori 04:40pm fire: my algorithm is lazy: rewrite what I get feedback about reflection review? that was the latest one fire: read the tunes mlist so Fare doesnt have to repeat himself -:- air [brand@p0wer.qzx.com] has joined #tunes funny i was on the mlist five minutes ago i must be going blind i heard jacking off is a major cause of blindness !!! would this be direct (getting yourself in the eye?) or just side effects? ;) * Fare/#Tunes peruses dict to understand * Fare/#Tunes is enlightened * Fare/#Tunes wonders why there are so few blind people, after all he's got a point there air * Fare/#Tunes heard that loving someone else made one blind and was a major cause of blindness D: i can vouch for that :D what kind of smiley is that? um simily? similey i mena er mean 04:50pm What does 'strong typing' mean ? -:- _ruiner_ [DIY@ppp406.wi.centurytel.net] has joined #tunes i think where each variable has a type it must stick to <_ruiner_> *yawn* -:- SignOff _ruiner_: #TUNES (destroy what destroys you) fire; aha. thanks np 05:00pm smoke: this means you type on the keyboard with all your strength the computer scientist's version of power walking B E H O L D ! eh? no, nothing fare: lol :) (+lag) haskell type system is nice so is LISP type system ;-> i haven't played with lisp much yet am working my way there :) Cayenne has a richer type system than Haskell abi: cayenne? cayenne is functional programming language with dependant types at http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~augustss/cayenne/ i prefer weak typing weak typing is for the weak minded fire: that's fine... but i like strong typing fare: hellz no Fare: is cayenne a serious alternative to haskell? even assembly language can be typed! (see TAL) is the word 'functional' used as in 'it works correctly' or as the mathematical function? when i use weak typing i feel like im drifting through a void of pleasure (ala maxwells ether :D) mathematical function eihrul: cayenne dumps haskell as its backend (using a special flag for whichever haskell compiler to not check types, since cayenne already checked types, using a richer type system) 05:20pm what is weak typing then? Fare: but i assume its more than a haskell preprocessor? om eihrul: just like C is more than an assembly preprocessor or maybe that's inadequate; rather just like C++ is not just a C preprocessor (C allows less than assembly) damn C yes damn damn C hey, that should be added to abi: a damn directive Fare: not quite what i meant... eihrul: Cayenne is Haskell with an enriched type system ok, fair enough never enough fare! -:- SignOff AlonzoTG: #TUNES (Ping timeout for AlonzoTG[207-172-126-167.s548.tnt5.lnhva.md.dialup.rcn.com]) 05:30pm -:- SignOff smoke: #TUNES (Z!) -:- lar1 [LarMan@dialup-209.245.128.148.SanJose1.Level3.net] has joined #tunes Hey yeah Fare?
