09:56:17 <Zarutian> h'lo
09:56:32 <Zarutian> bit curious, what do 'class'es do in retro?
10:19:54 <crc> classes are functions that handle the behaviour of other functions; they're used by the interpreter/compiler to decide how to deal with a function when they are encountered
10:22:35 <crc> e.g.,  the .immediate class always calls a function while the .word class will compile a call if the compiler is on, or call the function if the compiler is off
10:23:59 <crc> this allows me to define new types/behaviours for groups of functions without modifying the underlying system.
11:12:14 <Zarutian> aah, so you dont use the usual IMMEDIATE, COMPILE-ONLY and such flags
11:39:22 <crc> nope
12:01:36 <crc> none of the retro implementations I've worked on have used flags
12:01:54 <crc> prior to the classes, retro had two dictionaries; one for normal functions and one for immediate ones
14:42:56 <Zarutian> class words are called always when a word of that class is encountered?
