| masak | merged. thank you. | 12:47 | |
| ipso was a fun little experiment. but it made me realize that "you can't get there from here". I had this unrealistic feeling that a metacircular evaluator would be the starting point for a lot of extensibility, but once I had one it was more "ok, now what?" | 12:48 | ||
| right, that's evident in the "Plans" section in the README.md | 12:49 | ||
| Ven | oh lol. I clicked that, and I got to readme.md | 12:59 | |
| this redirects to github.com/echonest/pyechonest/blo.../README.md | |||
| you stopped before macros in ipso, uh? | 13:11 | ||
| masak | yeah. | 13:19 | |
| it was just a small experiment in implementing a metacircular interpreter. | |||
| but it made me start thinking of 007, eventually. | |||
| Ven | wouldn't macros have been the starting point to "extensibility"? | 13:29 | |
| or do you just mean, extending the interpreter from the code | |||
| masak | I wanted to end up somewhere close to Perl 6. but I only saw how I could end up somewhere close to Lisp. | 13:31 | |
| Ven | ..missing? :) | 13:34 | |

| vendethiel | masak: ha, I never received that part | 18:25 | |
| what's missing in lisp you have in perl6 you couldn't get in ipso? | |||
| masak | Perl 6 syntax. | 18:29 | |
| or let's be fair and say "ALGOL-like syntax" | 18:32 | ||
| vendethiel | mmhhh. These day I might consider I find lisp-like syntax more readable... | 18:35 | |
| masak | even if I agreed with that, and I guess I do at some level, the attitude itself is of little use to me in my role as Perl 6 macros grantee. | 18:37 | |
| vendethiel | i'm maybe unfair, and maybe it's because I've only been doing crappy C for the past week :) | ||
| I sometimes realize I take a lot of "pride" in being interesting in perl6. actually, "pride" isn't the right word, but I think it's part of what I consider "defines me" | 19:27 | ||
| "I know and can write Haskell, but I also know and can write C. I know and can write Lisp, but I can also know and can write Perl6" | 19:28 | ||
| masak | :) | 19:32 | |
| being an omnivore is something to be proud of. | |||
| vendethiel | not sure if "proud" is the correct word | 19:38 | |
| masak | it's something I wish there were more of in the IT world. people monoculturally sticking to one language or one toolset seem to be in majority. but I find the minority much more fun to be around. | 20:03 | |
| vendethiel | "thanks, I guess" :P | 20:17 | |
| masak | life is too short for Blub | 20:20 | |
