05:35:43 <tangentstorm> morning all
05:38:21 * tangentstorm is trying to get ngaro.js to run from the command line with nodejs today.

11:38:55 <Mat2> helo
11:38:58 <Mat2> ups hello
11:45:22 <tangentstorm> hey Mat2 :)
11:46:56 <Mat2> hi tangentstorm !
11:48:36 <Mat2> the files with ng prefix in your repro are your ngaro version, right ?
11:48:36 <tangentstorm> how goes it?
11:49:29 <Mat2> not so well, just start programming this hour
11:51:46 <tangentstorm> I've been up since like 4am. That's normally when I go to sleep :)
11:52:12 <tangentstorm> got some work done on ngaro.js though
11:53:42 <Mat2> looks fine so fare
11:54:22 <Mat2> I'm working to finish the SDL based code
11:55:39 <Mat2> pascal is a fine language I must say and the freepascal compiler seem to generate better code as clang
11:57:19 <tangentstorm> Some side-by-side benchmarks would be good publicity for them.
12:00:33 <Mat2> ok, I will set up a blog
12:02:36 <Mat2> hopefully someone will read it
12:02:39 <tangentstorm> oh! i wasn't asking you to do it, but... go for it. :)
12:03:02 <tangentstorm> if you post on reddit and say "freepascal is faster than clang" ... people will read it :)
12:03:18 <Mat2> *g* let's see
12:03:38 <Mat2> for implementing interpreters for sure
12:04:18 <Mat2> there is some crazy web project named 'the great language shootout'
12:04:44 <Mat2> comparing most known languages
12:05:06 <Mat2> freepascal compares well so this is not so surprising
12:07:03 <tangentstorm> i haven't been by the shootout in a while
12:11:58 <Mat2> look here: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32q/benchmark.php?test=meteor&lang=all
12:13:16 <Mat2> freepascal is en par with gcc for this micro benchmark (meteor-contest is a good balanced one)
12:15:50 <tangentstorm> hrm. i guess part of the difference between these things is the skill of the person writing the code
12:18:43 <Mat2> in common yes, but for this benchmark there exist only one optimal algorithm which was choosen for the C and pascal versions so there are comparable
12:24:06 <Mat2> ok, I can now print coloured texts in 256 colours
12:24:40 <tangentstorm> :) awesome!!

12:28:23 <kumul> hello Mat2

12:28:29 <kumul> wheres mat1?
12:32:38 <Mat2> that's my blot
12:49:53 <foucist> a blot eh?
12:50:00 <foucist> no ordinary bot?

12:57:30 <Mat2> a blot is something like your own twin (don't know the correct translation)
