11:55:26 i've been told to learn forth for educational purposes, while asking about C. any idea where to start? 11:55:59 you can start by learning C. 11:56:25 learn forth and c will just fall in place they said 11:56:35 riight 11:56:44 learn one thing first, then learn another. 11:56:57 C is easier to learn, and more useful than forth. 11:57:21 (it is easier because there is more information about it, and useful cause i'm assuming you are using GNU and GNU is written in C) 11:58:08 well using GNU doesn't mean i'll maintain the next coreutils version :P 11:58:14 taylanub: why not? 11:58:15 or want to 11:58:18 Jim is a nice guy... 11:58:23 so is paul, and eric... 11:58:27 don't know them 11:58:28 and ralf.. 11:58:35 jim and paul maintain coreutils 11:58:42 eric contributes a lot 11:59:46 but my tip is: learn C 11:59:57 it is easy, should take you about 20 years to get proficient in it... 12:00:24 hrmm i have time 12:01:05 infact, if you need a project, i'm always looking for volunteers for inetutils 12:04:18 could be fun. i'm a lazy teenager though, let me warn you 12:04:29 i'm a lazy adult... 12:04:32 your point?

14:20:36 well, kinda... 14:21:05 pointers do memory addressing magic; when you add to a pointer, you get the next value of the same type in memory 14:21:28 and that's wholely how arrays work in C, from what i got 14:21:50 well... 14:23:03 sorry, busy with other conversations, and cruft 14:23:34 there are some nuances in how C handles arrays and pointers... 14:25:41 anyway, nice talk, i really must sleep 14:25:45 wuss 14:26:22 --- join: MayDaniel (~MayDaniel@unaffiliated/maydaniel) joined #forth 15:20:29 --- quit: MayDaniel () 15:43:29 --- join: kernalogs (~jacko@nat79.mia.three.co.uk) joined #forth 15:53:22 --- quit: kernalogs (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) 16:31:34 --- join: Fox78 (~fox@123.115.209.244) joined #forth 18:55:07 --- join: roarde (~roarde@pdpc/supporter/active/sixforty) joined #forth 20:24:05 --- quit: roarde (Quit: Leaving.) 21:36:58 --- quit: taylanub (Quit: WeeChat 0.3.5-dev) 21:59:08 --- quit: Fox78 (Remote host closed the connection) 22:09:27 --- join: Al2O3 (~Al2O3@c-67-190-8-92.hsd1.co.comcast.net) joined #forth 22:10:05 --- quit: Al2O3 (Client Quit) 23:19:16 --- join: qFox (~C00K13S@5356B263.cm-6-7c.dynamic.ziggo.nl) joined #forth 23:59:59 --- log: ended forth/11.01.24
