hoelzro jnthn: how does one do async I/O? and which problem of mine are you referring to; the socket creation in a separate thread thing, or the simultaneous read + write from different threads thing? 00:06
00:21 FROGGS joined
adu raydiak: I think I found a bug 00:23
I'm trying to parse "typedef union { char __mbstate8[128]; } __mbstate_t;" 00:24
Timbus hoelzro, i currently have MoarVM's syncsocket.c open, and im trying to add in a more complete/robust set of socket operations. so I guess I should ask what bug you've found 00:26
adu and it seems that <ident> is matching "__mbsta" in "__mbstate8" 00:28
Timbus one thing i instantly found was that potential connections will get instantly dropped, due to having a listen count of 1
but that's probably not too common unless you're connecting a lot of clients
00:28 FROGGS left
japhb That listen count should be settable, of course. 00:40

hoelzro Timbus: I found a bug where a read occurring during the run of thread A on a socket that was created during the run of thread B will always be a 0 byte read 01:35
github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/issues/165
and I also discovered behavior that you may not write to a socket in a thread while another thread is issuing a blocking read on that same socket
01:39 Mouq left

raydiak \o adu, how went the battle today? 05:58
adu hmm
mostly reading up on stuff
I also found a source that should parse, but fails 05:59
'typedef union { char __mbstate8[128]; } __mbstate_t;'
raydiak was grammar::tracer any help?
adu raydiak: yes 06:00
struct-or-union-specifier:sym<decl> should be matching, but it isn't
but it's really bizarre 06:01
'char __mbstate8[128];' matches
'typedef union { char x; } __mbstate_t;'
also matches
but for some reason both combined fails
raydiak hmmm looking 06:02
adu I'm wondering if using || instead of proto would fix it 06:03
raydiak: also, I added GNU attributes to the Grammar, but not the AST 06:07
raydiak oh sweet, so that thing I tried before might work for the parsnig part now
adu that was the idea :) 06:08
raydiak thanks :) will let you know how far it gets
ah ha....thought I was losing my mind...cdump is broken for piping :) 06:17
if you remove the "/dev/stdin" part it works
also bad for portability...you can say $*IN if you want, but slurp() by itself works on stdin by default 06:18
adu oh 06:19
raydiak: $*IN complains that the first argument to slurp is not a filepath 06:20
raydiak $*IN.slurp should work 06:21
adu what? where is all of this documented?
raydiak design.perl6.org/S32/IO.html mostly 06:22
buuut...looks like $*IN.slurp is deprecated in favor of $*IN.slurp-rest in recent rakudo
adu aha 06:23
raydiak which doesn't seem to be documented yet, that I can find
adu but then why does it still fail when I put that first example into C::Parser::StdC11Parser.parse()?
raydiak no that was my own problem b/c I was trying to "echo '...' | bin/cdump.pl6" and couldn't figure out why even the simplest things didn't work :) 06:24
adu ah 06:25
raydiak I'm still looking at yours, now I can try it out and see what you're seeing
adu I usually do bin/cdump.pl6 -
raydiak defaults to the - anyway though, right? 06:26
adu yes
raydiak heh that's a long trace 06:29
06:32 FROGGS left
adu This is what I get: gist.github.com/andydude/1bde60efbe93ea8af4e9 06:36
06:37 kurahaupo left
adu oh crap 06:43
it is a bug in my code
raydiak that's good news :)
adu I just had to think about it
OK, so the only way I've been able to make it work so far is to distinguish between <ident>'s that are types, and non-types, so whenever the grammar processes a "typedef" statement it turns on a bit, and records the name in a global hash for later. When processing the declaration specifiers for "__mbstate8", it incorrectly considered "__mbstate8" to be a type <ident> because the typedef bit was ON, but it should have considered "__mbstate8" to b 06:46
non-type
so there's two overlapping issues, (1) how to distinguish between type and non-type <ident>s, and (2) how to get the <ident> being defined if there is not typedef bit to depend on 06:48
raydiak hm I'm going to have to look at it fresh tomorrow, but this global stuff is only going to cause you pain I think 06:54
adu raydiak: github.com/andydude/p6-c-parser/co...ef795bfdb2 06:55

psch raydiak: re the jvm build failure: it's missing an NQP version bump. apparently i forgot to mention that to FROGGS yesterday when he merge my interop patch 07:10

raydiak adu: 'typedef struct { __off_t __pos; __mbstate_t __state; } _G_fpos_t;' fails 07:50

raydiak ah right 07:53

08:09 ssutch left 08:10 ssutch joined
adu raydiak: the main problem is that there are so many places in the C grammar that look like <ident>+ <ident>, but they're never in the same rule, so the rule always tries to maximize the first repetition 08:11
raydiak I see what you mean
adu what I really should be doing is 2 levels of ASTs 08:12
C::AST::Syntax, and C::AST::Semantics
08:12 tinyblak_ joined
adu and use the C::AST::Semantics to obtain the name and type objects 08:12
I wonder if the MARKER, MARKED methods would help 08:13

raydiak grammars aren't really my strong suit in p6 tbh, still figuring it out myself...was quite proficient with p5 regexes, but that was a long time ago 08:16
adu FROGGS: but I don't know how to use them
or what they mean
FROGGS: do you mean perl5? 08:17
FROGGS adu: no, v5
adu what is v5? 08:18
FROGGS you can annotate a position in your source with a tag (MARKER) and later check if it was annotated (MARKED)
github.com/rakudo-p5/v5
github.com/rakudo-p5/v5/blob/maste...ar.pm#L852 08:19
adu oh, so it is perl5 related
FROGGS it is used here: github.com/rakudo-p5/v5/blob/maste...ar.pm#L962
adu I don't know anything about perl5, so I'm not sure that helps
08:19 denis_boyun_ joined
FROGGS adu: v5 is a Perl 5 grammar/interpreter (slang) written as a Perl 6 module 08:19

masak lizmat: once I tried tracking down a bug in Parrot. it had to do with reading of Unicode text being read in 1024n byte chunks, and sometimes a character would "straddle" two chunks and cause a decoding error. 12:10
lizmat yeah, been there, seen that :-) 12:11
masak lizmat: I knew exactly what the bug *was*. it was wonderfully reproducible, and I could use some of my blog posts to reproduce it.
lizmat (not on parrot, though)
masak lizmat: I remember diving into the Parrot source to fix it. the bug was not there.
lizmat ?
masak well, obviously, it was there... but
the structure of the code -- layers upon layers of calls down do lower primitives -- looked fundamentally right. 12:12
worse, it was about 90% structure/overhead/indirection, and about 10% interesting code.
my point is that the code was laid out such that the bug was *hard* to discover. the opposite of shallow. a deep-dug bug. 12:13
donaldh yeah, I loath decomposition for decomposition's sake.
masak I got into a Twitter argument yesterday, arguing against decomposition for decomposition's sake.
lizmat fwiw, I try to decompose after the fact
masak it did not go well. mostly because I was talking to strangers, and I was not in their in-group. 12:14
so now I'm talking to #perl6 ;)
lizmat :-) welcome!
masak fwiw, I love function decomposition.

 12:15
moritz I also guess that twitter isn't suitable for certain kinds of discussions
masak *nod*
moritz mostly when not all participants share the same terminology
donaldh ( s/loath/loathe/ )
masak yeah. I had that. I said "inlining" (meaning the opposite of function extraction) and got "lol Y U optimize on the JS stack!" 12:16
moritz the message size limit makes it very tempting to remove redundancy in the language, which are crucial to detecting semantic mismatch
masak but (and this is the main thrust of my argument) complexity is a foul beast. complexity will kill you. if you use weapons against complexity, and you should, complexity will use those weapons against you. 12:17
donaldh I used to think stackoverflow was a good place for that kind of discussion but it often degenerates these days.
nwc10 goes to read a blog post on chrononsystems.com/
"Error establishing a database connection"
xiaomiao you can't hide complexity
masak function decomposition is no different -- you can definitely produce a system where too-decomposed functions makes the system structure *less* approachable.
nwc10 dudes, even your home page is failing with that error. Therefore you have >0 database hits for your home page - dudes, do you expect me to take you seriously in the computer businiess?
masak xiaomiao: s/complexity/essential complexity/, right.
nwc10 I can't type
xiaomiao masak: yes, that's more precise 12:18
if you try to hide that level of complexity you get idiot boxen
masak xiaomiao: we still have way too much of the accidental kinds.
arnsholt It's the whole "anything can be solved by another layer of indirection, except the problem of too many layers of indirection" thing
masak arnsholt: yeah. that's what I had with the Parrot bug.
arnsholt: and it's an irony, because it's usually people with *good taste* in software who decompose functions. people who care, and study. people who could get slightly offended if you pointed out to them that it's not always a pure good thing, and they're not ready for that insight. 12:19
nine nwc10: To be fair, most websites do just fine with generating all pages on the fly.
xiaomiao masak: well aware of it. I find it hard to figure out why modern computers take so long to boot 12:20
nwc10 nine: if they can do that *and* cope with slashdot, I'm fine with it
masak xiaomiao: yeah, it's a mystery.
xiaomiao the slowest parts are things like harddisk spinup where you might need, say, 5 seconds until the device is operational
moritz xiaomiao: most recent desktop/laptop system I've used boot very fast
xiaomiao I got a VM to boot in 300msec 12:21
moritz xiaomiao: Debian jessy with systemd is quite fast, for example
xiaomiao moritz: your idea of "very fast" is still slow
nwc10 in this case, I don't think that it's slashdot. It's just unhappy
xiaomiao and systemd is not doing things correctly
masak nwc10: what used to be on that page?
xiaomiao we've done 5 seconds on the original EeePC when it came out ...
masak nwc10: how is it interesting to #perl6? :)
xiaomiao without nasty hackery abuse
nwc10 masak: chrononsystems.com/blog/java-7-desi...or-the-jvm 12:22
nine xiaomiao: but those 5 seconds were for a system that was tailored for exactly one use case. Not something generic like a generic Debian installation.
12:22 davido_ joined
moritz xiaomiao: it's way faster than the BIOS bootup time from the server that hosts p6c.org :-) 12:22
xiaomiao nine: yeah, a generic gentoo install is not ... eh what?
nwc10 masak: you'll need to be reading it via Google's cache
xiaomiao moritz: I have some machines at work that need 300 seconds to reach bootloader
... the rest of the OS comes up in about 10 seconds, mostly slowed down by the raid "controller" 12:23
nwc10 but it's not just the deep linked blog page that's SNAFU. (Which I'd tolerate and not mention)

donaldh nwc10: the very idea of the bytecode verifier is a bit odd. The JVM needs to be robust when executing bytecode anyway. The verifier is intended to protect the JVM from malicious bytecode that has been downloaded from untrusted sources but that seems naively optimistic. 12:32

Ven masak: well, I moslty agree with the consensus reached. it's hard to have abstractions *and* simplicity
masak Ven: these days, when someone's design/solution surprises me, about half of the time it's because they skipped some abstraction that I had been unable to think away, thereby making the solution smaller/simpler. 13:28

I agree, fwiw. and I think I see what you're grasping at.
the past few years feel to me as if I'm coming out of a fog, doing more and more software design, where previously it was all unconscious/haphazard. 13:32
on some level, it's just "think about shit you implement".

Ven masak: I half-agree about this issue. Once, at $work, I was criticizing xcode saying it sucked, and that one time, even the simplest functionality - code highlighting stopped working 13:34
and I said it was nuts that, in 2014, we still couldn't ask for reliable HL from our tool.
masak I'm not sure I see the connection between that and the discussion about function decomposition. 13:35
oh, or did you relate it to the discussion about design?
xiaomiao Ven: mostly because we add more and more features
Ven ...but I have some stuff to explain, still ;)
masak listens
xiaomiao it's marketing-driven development - "we need 12 new features for this release, think of something you can add!"
Ven He then proceeded to call me in idiot on multiple level, because "it's so hard considering the overall structure is what's important". I said "how can they not make it work when I can just code a regex to highlight stuff in like 50 or 100 lines" 13:36
masak s/regex/grammar/ ;)
Ven to which he answered "you're a kid who knows nothing, abstractions have a cost, what matters is that the overall software design of the project is good"
xiaomiao Ven: iow, business/marketing needs outweigh everything else? ;) 13:37
Ven quite so.
I call that stockholm syndrom. Having been abused by your *terrible* (because xcode is TERRIBLE) tools so badly you can justify the very basic feature that has worked in every editor since 1970 is "normal", because "software design is hard". 13:38

xiaomiao because the muppet who designed the SubClipse plugin never thought that people might only have access to a part of a repository 13:40
and, of course, retraining people to use a commandline instead of point and grunt is too difficult
Ven Yes, software design is hard. Yes, making work/fit that one component in The Big Scheme, but at some point, people have done FAR TOO MUCH java and forgot what was even software design. And I want to hint that the only reason they have this stupid beans and factories is because java waited 20 years to add lambdas...
cognominal Can someone explains the difference between mixins and roles?
Ven cognominal: a mixin is a role 13:41
there's no "mixin" keyword
if that was from my tutorial, please point me at the line, I'll rephrase it
cognominal say, a js mixin and a Perl 6 role?
Ven js mixin? 13:42
cognominal hum, in fact there is not much in a js mixin, that's just extending an object with new keys 13:43
13:43 rindolf joined
Ven cognominal: oh, well, js "mixins" are about key-value objects, perl6 roles are still about OO 13:44
arnsholt Yeah, that's the JS object model being a bit weird (namely, prototype-based) again
cognominal I guess there are differences when handling conflcting keys. Don't remember how Perl 6 role handles that (conflicting attributes/methods) 13:46

jdv79 any idea if nativecall is going to be fixed for 32bit anytime soon?
TimToady I know of only one way to guarantee it gets fixed soon. :) 17:45
jdv79 pay someone else to do it? ;) it'd probably take me days to do it wrong.
TimToady but then you'd have that many days head start on anyone else :) 17:47
b2gills One of the ways to figure out the right way to do something is to do it wrong many times
jdv79 maybe i'll try tonight then. 17:48
TimToady well, of course, Edison actually had minions to do it :)
jdv79 except the 32bit box is at $work - maybe an old box i have laying around is 32 as well.
i have no minions and don't plan on aquiring any:( 17:49
arnsholt jdv79: The problem you're thinking of is that NativeCall will always interpret an int type as 64-bit, rather than whatever the machine thinks is an int, right?
TimToady has minions but is woefully inadequate as an Evil Mastermind™
we probably need to define a Cint type or so 17:50
cognominal ... just an eval Mastermind
jdv79 i'm guessing. all i know for sure is that i can't fetch https urls with HTTP::UserAgent and i'm assuming the lowest level module test failures are part or whole of it - nativecall being that module. 17:51
17:51 KCL_ joined
TimToady NativeCall might well be assuming that int menas the same thing in C and in Perl, and that's not a valid assumption 17:51
(as int is currently specced, anyway) 17:52
arnsholt Yeah, what TimToady said. It should be relatively straightforward: wire up P6int to figure out how big the system thinks an int is, and expose that as a type in Rakudo/NativeCall
Mouq TimToady: Speaking of minions, irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2015-01-04#i_9886722
TimToady that the DFA questions?
arnsholt No, NativeCall will use 64-bit in all cases, since that's how wide Rakudo's unmodified ints are
Mouq Yeah
TimToady at the moment, there are several things holding back a DFA optimization 17:53
one could certainly deal with the exponential problem with a lazy state generator, as grep does
however, the current fate system (along with the current longest literal system) kinda works against having a DFA 17:54
especially since the current NFA recombines alternatives 17:55
[Coke] reviewingly supposes he is a minion of Edison.
17:55 bjz joined
TimToady this may be a problem if we want to have cascading fates decided at the top, to avoid having to rerun the lower-level NFA to determine the inner fates 17:56
a tokenizer that is producing such fates never really recombines alternatives, but is just a tree of recognizers
so that would tend to amplify the number of states that a DFA would have to handle 17:57
another consideration is that the NFA is usually pretty efficient after the first character
it's the first char recognizer that might have 50 or 100 states, but almost immediately that drops down to under 5 generally 17:58
so maybe we just want to cache the first decision state in a DFAish way for any character we've seen, and forget the rest of the DFA
18:00 pdcawley left, anaeem1_ joined
TimToady and maybe even only do that for large initial decisions, such as for statement or term or infix 18:00
18:00 anaeem1 left
Mouq I think I see what you mean. Would that generalize longestlit? 18:01
TimToady not redoing fates for subrules might be a bigger win, but then you'd need something like a tagged DFA for the top level, and my experiments with TRE were underwhelming 18:03
or stick with the NFA, as STD does
18:05 Hor|zon left
TimToady longestlit is tricky, and maybe next to impossible with a DFA 18:05
we might well want a DFA implementation for certain kinds of m// though, even if it's not a great idea for a P6 lexer 18:07
however, parentheses are troublesome
TRE can do parens in DFA, but as I recall, on every token match it allocated something like 17MB on the stack, which was not gonna scale well 18:08
Mouq Geez

geekosaur the earlier exampel has the right number...
moritz sorry, mushroom brain :(
does cron use the login shell? or /bin/sh ? 21:38
[Coke] that cd; touch works in /bin/sh, btw. 21:40
geekosaur should use /bin/sh
moritz [Coke]: may I su into your account to debug?
bartolin but you could set SHELL=/bin/bash in your crontab 21:41
raydiak it works fine until you put a number in for the hour instead of *
moritz oh, is that zero-based?
geekosaur I think I'd stick a `* * * * * date > someflle` for a couple minutes and verify the time
[Coke] moritz: Sure.
21:41 xfix left
[Coke] (0 based) urk. 21:41
moritz restarting cron, in case it didn't like the time zone change 21:42
[Coke] moritz: one sec.
geekosaur cron usually doesn't
[Coke] moritz: that did it. 21:43
moritz++
geekosaur++ bartolin++
moritz: mind if I remove that new entry you added now that it's working? 21:44
moritz [Coke]: sure
[Coke]: erm, I don't mind (in case that was misunderstandable) 21:45
[Coke] I think technically you answered it backward, but I figured it out. :)
ok. the daily run is running via cron on hack for the first time, sure it will barf on something missing due to cron env. Should be running there automatically starting tomorrow. 21:46
PerlJam Other system processes may be confused if the timezone changed and they weren't restarted or sent a SIGHUP
moritz [Coke]: note that current star needs a perl6 binary in $PATH 21:47
ugexe lizmat: fwiw using %*ENV<PERL6LIB> and CompUnit.precomp im getting (only) a single serialization error now: No object at index 102 at <unknown>:1 (/home/nickl/perl6/zef/lib/Zef/Tester.pm6.moarvm:<dependencies+deserialize>:413)
moritz [Coke]: run 'source ~rakudobrew/rakudobrew-bash' before running doit 21:48
ugexe (note that error is after Zef::Tester has been precompiled successfully, and occurs during another modules use statement of use Zef::Tester) 21:49
raydiak ah...just fyi, man cron says it does funny stuff when the time changes by less than 3 hours, but only for specifically-timed jobs (not * * or @hourly); supposed to stop things from getting missed or double-running at e.g. dst changes 21:50
bartolin raydiak++ 21:54
lizmat good night, #perl6! 22:00
hoelzro night lizmat 22:02
moritz localtime changed by 1h during the time zone shift
I guess I should have rebooted the server afterwards
PerlJam moritz: aye, probably. 22:03
22:03 Hor|zon joined
moritz anyway, time for sleep here 22:04
good night
PerlJam sleep well moritz! 22:05

adu Mouq: are you still there? 22:51
22:53 anaeem1_ left
Mouq adu: Yup, what's up? 22:53
22:53 anaeem1 joined
adu I just wanted to ask you if you had used Clojure 22:54
writing either a CL or Scheme slang would by fun, but I think Clojure's metadata and type system would go well with Perl6's "gradual" typing 22:55
ugexe is there any way to do recursion in an anonymous block until &?BLOCK is implemented? 22:56
vendethiel adu: CL has gradual types,too :P
Mouq adu: I haven't, but you sound right anyway :P
adu vendethiel: can they be applied to every parameter in a defn?
vendethiel adu: yes 22:57
you can declare it for a local or a parameter
adu vendethiel: oh, I didn't know
er, I mean defun
Mouq ugexe: I believe &?ROUTINE will work in the right cases...
adu vendethiel: how verbose is it? 22:58
22:58 anaeem1 left
Mouq m: say { $^n == 1 ?? $^n !! &?ROUTINE($n-1)*$n } 22:58

camelia rakudo-moar 80b912: OUTPUT«24␤»
vendethiel adu: you can (declare (type fixnum x y)) 22:59
adu vendethiel: ah, well in clojure it's ^fixnum x ^fixnum y 23:00
vendethiel I know :)
you can also ((type variable)) as a parameter
Mouq Don't we technically already have Clojure interop with perl6-j? :P 23:01
vendethiel kind-of.
Clojure can use reflection to call stuff, but it's slower, so there's a mode to warn you when it had to use this method
adu vendethiel: and in typed-racket it's (: f (-> Fixnum Fixnum Something))
vendethiel adu: I really don't like typed-racket/core.typed's syntax 23:02
adu me neither
Mouq: good point
Mouq: but Clojure doesn't support moar 23:03
Mouq adu: True :) 23:04
Mouq saw youtu.be/0Vq2rcjWbTc recently, and disliked the syntax and the strictness, but thought it interesting 23:05
adu anyways, my point is that clojure would make a funner-er project IMHO
ugexe Mouq: thanks. hopefully i can just swap out blocks for anon subs with no problems 23:06
23:06 spider-mario left 23:09 Vlavv left 23:11 integral joined, integral left, integral joined
adu Mouq: that video is wrong 23:16
Mouq: Stephen Bourne wrote sh, Brian Fox wrote bash, but they're using a picture of Bourne underneath "bash" 23:17
23:21 Vlavv joined
Mouq adu: Oh, I think a lot of what he's saying is kind of silly... Mostly I meant that I found the idea of a kind of whitespace-dependant s-expression variant interesting 23:21
But I'm guessing he probably wants something more like Dylan 23:22
23:23 brrt left
adu Mouq: srfi.schemers.org/srfi-110/srfi-110.html 23:25
that's my favorite S variant
although I would swap () with [] and {} with () 23:26
because () are IMHO more commonly associated with infix
so to make a slang, I need to subclass HLL::Actions, HLL::Grammar, HLL::Compiler, and HLL::World? 23:27
Mouq adu: Ohh, nice :)
adu: Mmm, depends? 23:28
adu: First, are you going to write it in Perl6 or NQP?
adu Mouq: no idea, what do you recommend?
I can't find any documentation for nqp, so I guess perl6 23:29
Mouq adu: Well, github.com/arnsholt/snake and github.com/perl6/nqp/tree/master/e...es/rubyish are both written in NQP. The issue with using Perl6 is that you're going to end up dealing with a lot of NQP objects, which are as yet a pain to deal with. 23:30
I'm not sure if there's a "Perl6 and NQP differences" page somewhere or not... 23:32
adu can I install nqp with rakudobrew?
Mouq: the wikibooks thing is about the most complete overview I can find
Mouq You should already have it, you just have to call it with the whatever your backend is, i.e., nqp-m, nqp-j, or nqp-p 23:33
adu and github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/master/d...s.markdown
is the portable VM instructions
Mouq: when I installed perl6 with rakudobrew it didn't install nqp 23:34
Mouq adu: So "nqp-m -e1" doesn't work? 23:35
adu oh wait, nqp-m is installed
n/m
Mouq It's cool :) 23:36
adu I just didn't try everything :P
23:37 raiph joined
Mouq Soo.. NQP lacks most of Perl6's fun infixes, meta-infixes, and CORE library, all function(calls(need_parens())), and assignment can only be done with ':='. There are more details, but I think that's enough to start? 23:39
adu wait, function calls don't need parens? 23:40
Mouq in Perl6 the don't

Mouq (The errors in NQP kinda suck too)
adu good to know 23:41
Mouq So... pick your poison! :P Hopefully we're going to make slang-writing in Perl 6 easier in the future, but that hasn't happened yet 23:42
v5 is currently written in Perl 6, btw: github.com/rakudo-p5/v5 23:44
23:45 virtualsue left
adu so there are 2 slangs in NQP and 1 slang in Perl6 23:47
I remember when there was 50 Parrot-specific slangs
23:49 telex left
adu why does Perl5::* have a billion modules? 23:49
Mouq Well, complete languages. These are written in Perl6, and modify the Perl6 grammar: github.com/FROGGS/p6-Slang-Tuxic github.com/Mouq/p6-Grammar-Mixin github.com/FROGGS/p6-overload-constant
23:49 skids joined
adu that's a little intimidating 23:49
23:50 telex joined 23:52 Hor|zon joined
Mouq adu: I agree.. only a handful are actually part of the slang, the rest (as I understand) are modules that perl5 ships 23:52
adu I think I'm going to start small 23:57
23:57 Hor|zon left
Mouq adu: Good plan :) 23:58
adu: Sorry if I overwhelmed you
adu I think I'm going to write an integer bc implementation where add is the only op 23:59
