I guess that it was a guy from #tcl, but I'm not sure... 15:25:05 nope, not me 15:25:13 how are you? 15:25:48 fine... and you? 15:26:16 soso ... having hard time getting motivated 15:26:32 to me a lazy day, for some reason 15:30:17 --- nick: MrReach -> MrGone 16:09:06 --- join: futhin (thin@h24-66-209-114.cg.shawcable.net) joined #forth 16:09:17 howdy 16:10:22 hi futhin 16:21:24 brb, reboot 16:21:34 --- quit: MrGone () 16:25:54 --- join: MrGone (mrreach@209.181.43.190) joined #forth 16:26:10 --- nick: MrGone -> MrReach 16:46:22 who was it that was looking for an extremely portable Forth? 16:46:26 what that aum??? 16:48:37 edrx: you did a TCL<->pForth interface??? I'm IMPRESSED! 16:59:27 MrReach: it was extremely primitive 16:59:39 yes, so I'm seeing 16:59:48 and it worked only in one direction 16:59:54 TCL->pforth, but not the other way around 16:59:58 heh 17:00:04 I'm reading the docs 17:00:08 the other direction iirc 17:00:15 this is the first I've come across pforth 17:00:37 TCL can call pforth, but pforth cannot call TCL ... right? 17:01:12 pforth is very nice, it's made to be simple to understand, not like gforth that retards like me can use for years and not understand how DOES> is implemented 17:01:14 no wonder you were advocating TCL concepts the other day 17:01:24 * MrReach laughs. 17:01:49 well, as Burke said, gforth was a research platform 17:02:06 lemme check... 17:03:24 yes, you're right... that was a long time ago... :S 17:03:34 I was just going to say ... 17:03:43 "It must have been some time since yoiu worked on it" 17:04:12 how does pforth do for speed? Do you still use it? 17:04:18 oh yes, I used some function like "evalstring" in pforth, as Tcl works basically only with strings... 17:04:40 ah! there's the other dirrection, no matter how primitive 17:05:03 pforth is not exceptionally fast, but heh, is speed really so important to you? 17:05:15 no, not really 17:05:41 I, who like windowing interfaces, can accept a small hit at the scripting level 17:05:53 just a first way to measure the quality of things? 17:05:59 yes 17:06:13 ok 17:07:03 pforth's portability might be a better marker of quality 17:07:31 because that was the design goal 17:07:40 and seems to have been achieved in spades 17:07:53 remember how much the *nix world uses perl, that is extremely slow, and for some obscure reason they don't mind neither perl's speed nor its infinite ugliness, and still try to sell it even to kindergarten kids as the perfect tool 17:08:06 heh 17:08:18 not so slow anymore, with the byte-code compiler 17:09:02 I agree, though, perl is an abomination to computer science 17:10:02 have you used any of the TCL8.0 compilers? 17:11:37 perl is apparently a nice language to code in.. it's pretty highlevel so you don't need to do too much 17:14:08 but it's all about marketing too 17:14:17 forth has very little :( 17:14:57 * MrReach nods 17:15:04 nap time, back in a couple of hours 17:15:12 --- nick: MrReach -> MrGone 17:22:33 --- quit: futhin (bbl) 17:59:08 --- quit: edrx ([x]chat) 18:02:57 --- join: tcn (tcn@bespin.org) joined #forth 18:18:09 --- quit: tcn (9) nanoseconds) 21:08:36 --- log: started forth/01.10.17 21:08:36 --- join: clog (nef@bespin.org) joined #forth 21:08:36 --- names: list (clog MrGone) 21:44:20 --- join: edrx (edrx@200.240.18.90) joined #forth 21:46:13 --- quit: edrx ([x]chat) 23:59:59 --- log: ended forth/01.10.17
