| 1 2003-07-01.txt:11:16:20: <Taaus> This programming contest is being conducted by ICFP, which implies a desire to promote functional languages. However, rather than debate the definition of a "functional programming language," we will allow submitted programs to be written in any language whatsoever. Mixing languages is entirely acceptable; perhaps you will write in O'Caml and Haskell, with a Tcl script to do the gluing. | |
| 2 2003-07-28.txt:02:15:18: <andreou> For my personal history, over the years I've competed in and taught nightclub type dancing, surfed professionally and owned a surfboard company, competed in and coached both wrestling and tennis, become a real rocket scientist and a computer nerd, gotten five college degrees, acquired a teaching credential, hob-nobbed with many famous people, written several books (most are technical but one is on surfing and one is on Sombo - a form of martial arts), be | |

| 4 2005-08-28.txt:21:41:49: <calamari> then I was totally outclassed by a javascript unix shell featured on /. :) | |

| 6 2006-05-26.txt:06:33:15: <rabidpoobear> i know how to define classes... i meant what is the stuff in parenthesis doing? I always do "class TestClass:" and that's it | |
| 7 2006-06-07.txt:21:22:23: <sedimin> exatcly | |
| 8 2006-07-24.txt:17:41:21: <pikhq> Is Tcl sufficiently esoteric? | |
| 9 2006-07-24.txt:17:45:08: * pikhq is a Tcl fan. . . | |
| 10 2006-07-24.txt:17:45:13: <pikhq> So, I'm compiling into Tcl. | |
| 11 2006-07-24.txt:18:27:19: <pikhq> Is it possible to do getchar in Tcl? | |
| 12 2006-07-25.txt:22:07:49: <pikhq> Or is it Lisp in Tcl-expressions? | |
| 13 2006-07-28.txt:16:58:07: <pikhq> I'm a Tcler when being serious. | |
| 14 2006-07-28.txt:17:01:30: * pikhq ain't happy until it's Tcl syntax or sexps. | |
| 15 2006-07-28.txt:17:02:42: <nooga> Tcl sux | |
| 16 2006-07-28.txt:17:03:06: <Razor-X> I've never played with Tcl. | |
| 17 2006-07-28.txt:17:04:22: <pikhq> nooga: {[Tcl] != $sucks} | |
| 18 2006-08-01.txt:16:53:01: * pikhq hugs Tcl | |
| 19 2006-08-02.txt:22:45:38: <pikhq> GregorR-W: It's only 99 calls. Tcl takes quite a bit more to overflow. | |
| 20 2006-08-02.txt:22:47:35: <pikhq> Hell, maybe Tcl does that. | |
| 21 2006-08-02.txt:22:51:15: <pikhq> No, Tcl doesn't. :/ | |
| 22 2006-08-02.txt:23:06:28: <pikhq> Mmm. Found a Tcl package which allows for, among other things, tail call optimisation. | |
| 23 2006-08-04.txt:17:21:58: <pikhq> You could make a comment *be* a string in Tcl. . . | |
| 24 2006-08-04.txt:20:42:06: <ivan`> Tcl/Tk is esoteric already, right? | |
| 25 2006-08-04.txt:20:53:24: <RodgerTheGreat> I guess that if PostScript is an esolang, then Tcl is as well. | |
| 26 2006-08-05.txt:17:17:51: * pikhq codes in Tcl, not C, anyways. ;) | |
| 27 2006-08-07.txt:14:33:48: <pikhq> I read Tcl in roughly the same way it's parsed by tclsh. | |
| 28 2006-08-10.txt:03:44:44: <pikhq> I'm a Tcler. | |
| 29 2006-08-10.txt:03:46:47: <pikhq> My coding in OSX has been in Tcl. | |
| 30 2006-08-10.txt:03:49:37: * pikhq counts things like "Python" and "Tcl" to be decent libraries :p | |
| 31 2006-08-10.txt:03:50:04: <pikhq> Hmm. You know, I should play around with the tclwm package. . . | |
| 32 2006-08-10.txt:03:54:56: <pikhq> http://www.tcl.tk/cgi-bin/tct/tip/47.html | |
| 33 2006-08-11.txt:02:44:48: <pikhq> Tcl's easy on the fingers. | |
| 34 2006-08-11.txt:03:27:38: <pikhq> And newlines are *effectively* moot in Tcl, as well (although whitespace is necessary). | |
| 35 2006-08-16.txt:00:31:34: <pikhq> I prefer Tcl's braces, because it makes it easy to see how it will be parsed. . . | |
| 36 2006-08-16.txt:00:48:53: <pikhq> There are no strings in Tcl. It's all a bunch of lists. | |
| 37 2006-08-21.txt:01:26:05: <pikhq> Razor-X: I'm jumping from Tcl, a high-level language which is much, much closer to Lisp than C, to C. . . | |
| 38 2006-08-21.txt:01:29:03: <pikhq> The whole point of this excercise is learning C; if I use Tcl or Lisp, then I don't do what I set out to do. | |
| 39 2006-08-22.txt:02:23:45: <pikhq> Like I said, I'm a Tcler. | |
| 40 2006-08-22.txt:03:30:04: <pikhq> CakeProphet: Tcl, my language of choice, tastes best with some C spicing blended in. . . | |
| 41 2006-08-22.txt:03:30:50: <pikhq> C, Tcl, and. . . Yeah. | |
| 42 2006-08-22.txt:03:45:07: <pikhq> puts [lappend "Tcl " "is " "better."] | |
| 43 2006-08-22.txt:03:46:01: <CakeProphet> for x in ["Lol", "tcl", "sucks"]: print x | |
| 44 2006-08-22.txt:22:56:34: <pikhq> Lists are easy to handle in Tcl; it's the only datatype. ;) | |
| 45 2006-08-22.txt:23:03:26: <pikhq> In Tcl, everything is a list. . | |
| 46 2006-08-22.txt:23:03:37: * pikhq is a Tcler; trust me | |
| 47 2006-08-22.txt:23:48:53: * pikhq ends up using Tcl for a lot of the stuff you can do in functional languages (Tcl is by no means a pure functional language; it's more of a bastardisation between an imperative language and a functional one). . . | |
| 48 2006-08-27.txt:20:24:06: <pikhq> Meh. I'll write the DBF compiler in Tcl, since I'm really good at it. . . | |
| 49 2006-08-27.txt:22:27:23: <pikhq> I'll probably write it as a C/Tcl hybrid. . . | |
| 50 2006-08-29.txt:03:23:23: <pikhq> (also an unpleasent thing about Tcl (although Tcl handles it better *AND* there's a package in Tcllib to do tail call optimisation, so you shouldn't run into it if you're sane)) | |
| 51 2006-08-29.txt:03:41:42: <RodgerTheGreat> hey, uh- question: could anyone recommend a TCL interpreter for OSX, preferably one with downloadable binaries? | |
| 52 2006-08-29.txt:03:41:50: <RodgerTheGreat> I think I want to learn TCL | |
| 53 2006-08-29.txt:03:41:58: <pikhq> First, it's Tcl. | |
| 54 2006-08-29.txt:03:42:13: <pikhq> Second, there's only one Tcl interpreter, and that is Tcl. | |
| 55 2006-08-29.txt:03:43:47: <Razor-X> Can you reccomend a Tcl compiler? | |
| 56 2006-08-29.txt:03:44:15: <pikhq> No Tcl compilers (except maybe the bytecode compiler that's part of the interpreter). | |
| 57 2006-08-29.txt:03:45:20: <RodgerTheGreat> well, can I get OSX binaries for Tcl anywhere? | |
| 58 2006-08-29.txt:03:46:06: <GreyKnight> http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/ | |
| 59 2006-08-29.txt:03:46:50: <pikhq> http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/ | |
| 60 2006-08-29.txt:19:31:25: <pikhq> The Tcl way is nice, since it conforms to everything else in the language (Yay, Polish notation!) | |
| 61 2006-08-29.txt:19:32:15: <pikhq> *sigh* Tcl would be evil if it used RPN. | |
| 62 2006-09-01.txt:22:49:34: <GreyKnight> 3: http://www.foxmovies.com/fightclub/ | |
| 63 2006-09-02.txt:01:05:54: <ihope> Tcl Tcl Tcl... | |
| 64 2006-09-02.txt:01:06:27: <pikhq> Tcl. | |
| 65 2006-09-02.txt:01:06:40: <ihope> Not Tcl either. | |
| 66 2006-09-02.txt:01:10:09: <ihope_> Haskell Python Curry Lisp Tcl 1L C, see? | |
| 67 2006-09-02.txt:01:10:43: <ihope_> s/Tcl/J++/? | |
| 68 2006-09-03.txt:22:16:48: <pikhq> It seems that it would be possible to implement this inside of a slave interpreter in Tcl. . . | |
| 69 2006-09-04.txt:21:39:11: <pikhq> ihope: That doesn't work quite so well in Tcl regexps. | |
| 70 2006-09-04.txt:23:05:12: * pikhq much abused Tcl to do so | |
| 71 2006-09-05.txt:01:17:56: <pikhq> I just set up a Tcl slave interpreter, remove it's builtin commands, and replace them with aliases that compile the macro language's commands. | |
| 72 2006-09-05.txt:01:18:03: <pikhq> Let Tcl parse for me. | |
| 73 2006-09-06.txt:03:57:53: <pikhq> I'm a Tcler. | |
| 74 2006-09-06.txt:03:58:02: <Razor-X> Does TCL have implicit casting? | |
| 75 2006-09-09.txt:02:28:49: <pikhq> A parser? Who needs to write that? Tcl does the job for me. :p | |
| 76 2006-09-10.txt:02:58:20: <pikhq> (yay, Tcl!) | |
| 77 2006-09-16.txt:03:07:48: <pikhq> Tcl, an admittedly high-level language, doesn't do anything like that. . . | |
| 78 2006-09-16.txt:03:09:26: <pikhq> Tcl has a procedure "if". One of it's arguments is a Tcl expression (evaluated by expr). This is pretty much just a superset of such C expressions as a ? b : c, a!=c, etc. . . | |
| 79 2006-09-16.txt:18:15:38: <pikhq> Tclsh is an implementation of Tcl. . . | |
| 80 2006-09-19.txt:03:38:49: <pikhq> It's Tcl's "simple" regexp syntax ATM. | |
| 81 2006-09-20.txt:00:19:23: <pikhq> Only if you count {} as a C program, a Tcl program, etc. | |
| 82 2006-09-21.txt:02:04:04: <pikhq> Tcl. | |
| 83 2006-09-21.txt:02:04:13: <pikhq> Mmm. Tcl. | |
| 84 2006-09-21.txt:02:04:52: * ihope tcls pikhq with a feather | |
| 85 2006-09-21.txt:03:33:21: <pikhq> I'm a Tcler. ;) | |
| 86 2006-09-23.txt:20:31:09: <pikhq> calamari: I prefer to just make a language which can be parsed by Tclsh for me. :p | |
| 87 2006-10-01.txt:21:24:06: <pikhq> I take it you're a Tcler? | |
| 88 2006-10-01.txt:21:26:31: <pikhq> If I didn't have _, then it would conflict with a Tcl command. | |
| 89 2006-10-03.txt:23:56:27: <pikhq> Brainfuck has the [], BASIC has IF, C has if() {} & while() {}, and Tcl has if {} {} & while {} {}. | |
| 90 2006-10-04.txt:23:35:42: <pikhq> Of course, I *could* be lazy and just use "brainfucktobfm.tcl". . . | |
| 91 2006-10-08.txt:21:34:50: <oerjan> grok and grok, i thought i read the tcl the other day... | |
| 92 2006-10-08.txt:22:24:10: <pikhq> Mmkay. Got argument delimiters in bfm.tcl. | |
| 93 2006-10-11.txt:22:53:41: <pikhq> ./bfm.tcl --file filename --strip (1, 0) --optimize (1, 0) | |
| 94 2006-10-12.txt:23:50:37: <Razor-X> Is it all written in TCL? | |
| 95 2006-10-13.txt:00:26:05: <Razor-X> So BFM is written in partly C partly TCL? | |
| 96 2006-10-13.txt:00:26:44: <pikhq> Razor-X: No, it's all in Tcl. He's referring to the bits that implement the C target. | |
| 97 2006-10-13.txt:00:36:04: <Razor-X> Then I guess I shall see if I can read TCL. | |
| 98 2006-10-14.txt:00:05:17: <pikhq> My favorite way of writing a compiler: design the language so Tcl can parse it for me. :p | |
| 99 2006-10-14.txt:04:34:21: <pikhq> Including Tcl, the functional language that thinks its an imperative one. :p | |
| 100 2006-10-17.txt:02:19:16: <oerjan> oh, and in the tarball bfm.tcl there is one $:location that should be $::location or something. | |
| 101 2006-10-17.txt:04:03:07: <pikhq> It's got more lines than bfm.tcl. XD | |
| 102 2006-10-20.txt:17:38:02: <pikhq> I could probably change brainfucktobfm.tcl for the job. . . | |
| 103 2006-10-22.txt:05:18:27: <pikhq> Although BFM has a semiTcl syntax, instead of a semiC one. | |
| 104 2006-10-22.txt:23:26:27: <pikhq> Tcl or C. | |
| 105 2006-10-24.txt:17:22:28: <oerjan> Perhaps tcl's comment syntax is available automatically, whatever it is | |
| 106 2006-10-24.txt:17:24:49: <pikhq> oerjan: Tcl's comment syntax would be easy to add. | |
| 107 2006-10-25.txt:19:38:36: <pikhq> I just assume Tcl handles this sanely. ;) | |
| 108 2006-10-25.txt:19:40:43: <pikhq> Tcl, I *think*, handles multiple sources sanely (source is used in Tcl packages). . . | |
| 109 2006-10-25.txt:19:57:03: <oerjan> hah, Tcl load lists as a bug that it can load a file multiple times | |
| 110 2006-10-26.txt:01:57:17: <pikhq> Or, rather, Tcl. | |
| 111 2006-10-26.txt:02:17:43: * pikhq curses more at Tcl | |
| 112 2006-10-26.txt:02:18:02: <jix> i think tcl is a pretty awful language | |
| 113 2006-10-26.txt:02:18:12: <pikhq> jix: The reason why Tcl is used is because Tcl has the unique property of being a ready-made parser for BFM (by chance). | |
| 114 2006-10-26.txt:02:19:21: <pikhq> I'm rather fond of Tcl, personally. . . | |
| 115 2006-10-26.txt:02:20:03: <jix> i didn't take a deep look into tcl (only when trying the ruby/tk module which isn't based on the c/tk api but on tcltk...) | |
| 116 2006-10-31.txt:03:50:12: <bsmntbombdood> yuck tcl | |
| 117 2006-10-31.txt:04:16:39: <bsmntbombdood> tcl is weird | |
| 118 2006-10-31.txt:04:16:52: <pikhq> My Tcl style is also a bit weird. . . | |
| 119 2006-11-04.txt:20:08:09: <pikhq> SevenInchBread: That was Tcl. | |
| 120 2006-11-04.txt:20:10:08: * pikhq huggeth Tcl | |
| 121 2006-11-04.txt:22:52:37: <pikhq> I just got bored and did a Tcl Brainfuck interpreter. | |
| 122 2006-11-04.txt:23:22:46: * pikhq has his Tcl Brainfuck interpreter working. . . | |
| 123 2006-11-04.txt:23:40:23: <pikhq> We compile to Tcl, and evaluate the compiled code. XD | |
| 124 2006-11-05.txt:05:48:34: <pikhq> I'm a Tcler, as you all should know. . . | |
| 125 2006-11-05.txt:05:49:01: <pikhq> [lappend x $x 1] gives you the same list in Tcl, BTW. | |
| 126 2006-11-11.txt:02:17:30: <xor> Shame you wrote it in tcl ;) | |
| 127 2006-11-11.txt:02:18:58: <pikhq> Writing in Tcl gives me a one-line parser! | |
| 128 2006-11-11.txt:03:07:21: <pikhq> In Tcl, while not required, this is how libraries are typically set up. | |
| 129 2006-11-11.txt:03:08:14: <pikhq> (a small handful of libraries (Tk and Expect come to mind) clutter up the global namespace, but that's because they're rather old libraries, from before Tcl had namespaces, and so namespaces aren't used so old code still works) | |
| 130 2006-12-02.txt:17:31:03: <pikhq> My bfm.tcl rewrite is now partially working. | |
| 131 2006-12-02.txt:23:53:10: <Razor-X> You should write actual documentation so that people who don't know TCL can help out. | |
| 132 2006-12-08.txt:01:10:56: <pikhq> I found the Tcl style guide. . . I'm trying to follow it exactly. | |
| 133 2006-12-09.txt:05:40:02: * pikhq would be liable to just write a Tcl WM, just to prove it could be done | |
| 134 2006-12-09.txt:06:15:10: <pikhq> Of course, I think that Tcl's beautiful. ;) | |
| 135 2006-12-15.txt:01:32:10: <bsmntbombdood> bsmntbombdood.mooo.com/testclosure.c | |
| 136 2006-12-15.txt:01:32:51: <bsmntbombdood> or even http://bsmntbombdood.mooo.com/testclosure.c | |
| 137 2006-12-20.txt:04:38:30: * pikhq recommends you rewrite the bot in Tcl. | |
| 138 2006-12-20.txt:04:38:52: <pikhq> With [package require irc], from Tcllib, you've got your work cut out for you. | |
| 139 2006-12-20.txt:18:57:09: <pikhq> Like in Tcl: | |
| 140 2006-12-23.txt:23:23:44: <pikhq> Like, when I wrote brainfucktobfm.tcl. . .. | |
| 141 2006-12-24.txt:00:43:10: * pikhq has seen the reason behind the Tcl style guide's recommendation for copious parentheses in expr expressions. . . | |
| 142 2006-12-24.txt:02:45:14: <pikhq> Not in Tcl. | |
| 143 2006-12-24.txt:02:45:26: <pikhq> Of course, my BF implementation in Tcl is a bit. . . Lazy. | |
| 144 2006-12-24.txt:02:45:51: <pikhq> Basically, I compile the Brainfuck code in-memory to Tcl, and then evaluate the compiled code. ;) | |
| 145 2006-12-28.txt:18:25:24: <pikhq> (look in macro.tcl, proc string, for the gory details) | |
| 146 2006-12-28.txt:18:31:38: <pikhq> (you'll need to install Tcl and Tcllib for BFM) | |
| 147 2006-12-31.txt:04:53:07: <RodgerTheGreat_> I'm not sure it can take the place of C as a primary coding language, but I think it'd make a nice equivalent of perl or TCL as a primary scripting and utility language | |
| 148 2006-12-31.txt:21:24:09: <pikhq> I do Tcl natively. . . | |
| 149 2007-01-03.txt:02:49:32: * pikhq went Basic -> Javascript -> rm -rf basic -> Tcl -> shell -> C -> C++ -> way, way too many esolangs. | |
| 150 2007-01-09.txt:03:28:41: * pikhq does Tcl | |
| 151 2007-01-12.txt:19:34:00: <oklopol> http://bsmntbombdood.mooo.com/testclosure.c | |

| 153 2007-01-13.txt:23:26:54: <pikhq> (the interpreter just compiles to Tcl and executes that) | |
| 154 2007-01-13.txt:23:27:35: <pikhq> It compiles to a simplified BFM subset, which can be interpreted by a Tcl interpreter with the right procs in place. | |

| 172 2007-02-22.txt:07:44:38: <SevenInchBread> which is just like... Python stuff that turns around and does Tk/Tcl stuff | |

| 174 2007-04-01.txt:04:41:23: <Figs> Lua, Python, Perl, Tcl | |
| 175 2007-04-01.txt:04:42:10: <Pikhq> I recommend Tcl. :) | |
| 176 2007-04-05.txt:06:38:08: <Pikhq> But Tcl one-ups Basic with the cool feature of having functions. | |
| 177 2007-04-05.txt:06:39:34: <Pikhq> . . . Fine. Tcl's got this funny thing called "a sane syntax". | |
| 178 2007-04-28.txt:17:03:39: <pikhq> Ah, right. Made it work with a newer build of Tcllib. | |

| 181 2007-05-26.txt:17:27:08: <Pikhq> So far, I've been able to figure out that the issue is not in optimize.tcl | |
| 182 2007-05-28.txt:20:24:03: <Pikhq> PEBBLE is written in Tcl. | |
| 183 2007-05-29.txt:23:28:01: <Pikhq> I prefer C, C++, Tcl, and a tiny hint of Zsh scripting. | |
| 184 2007-05-29.txt:23:28:32: <ehird`> Tcl's type system makes me weep. | |
| 185 2007-05-29.txt:23:28:39: <lament> tcl has a type system? | |

| 187 2007-05-29.txt:23:28:58: <lament> i thought tcl was all strings | |
| 188 2007-05-29.txt:23:29:35: <ehird`> The two overlapping target markets for Tcl are filled by Ruby and Zsh for me | |
| 189 2007-05-29.txt:23:30:02: <Pikhq> Tcl's a bit of an acquired taste, though. . . | |

| 193 2007-05-31.txt:19:10:31: <Pikhq> oklopol: Use Tcl. | |
| 194 2007-05-31.txt:19:32:10: * Pikhq is too much of a Tcler for his own good | |
| 195 2007-06-15.txt:17:42:21: <pikhq> I'm a Tcler and an HP calculator/dc user. ;) | |
| 196 2007-06-17.txt:03:29:17: <pikhq> Tcl doesn't have that problem. | |
| 197 2007-06-17.txt:03:29:41: <SimonRC> ISTR that everything is a string in Tcl | |
| 198 2007-06-17.txt:05:29:48: <pikhq> SimonRC: According to Tcl code? | |
| 199 2007-06-17.txt:05:33:21: <pikhq> Fine, fine. . . So scalar variables can represent strings, lists, longs, or floats. . . The tclvar_t struct stores one of them, and converts when needed. | |
| 200 2007-07-03.txt:22:47:11: <pikhq> Makes sense in Tcl, though, since everything is a string. . . | |
| 201 2007-07-03.txt:22:52:01: <pikhq> In Tcl, "foo" + "bar" is a syntax error. | |
| 202 2007-07-07.txt:08:13:50: <pikhq> edwardk: And of Tcl. | |

| 204 2007-07-08.txt:04:30:22: <RodgerTheGreat> pikhq: does that mean you're TCLish? | |
| 205 2007-07-08.txt:04:31:40: <Sukoshi> You know full well that TCL is a dying profession ;) | |
| 206 2007-07-08.txt:04:32:42: <pikhq> (I'm sorry, but Tcl's not a dying language) | |
| 207 2007-07-08.txt:05:53:25: <bsmntbombdood> pikhq: rms replaced tcl with guile | |
| 208 2007-07-09.txt:06:06:29: <pikhq> fax: You're quite right: everything the body needs is provided by Tcl. | |
| 209 2007-07-09.txt:06:06:49: <fax> wait Tcl has macros which dont suck? | |
| 210 2007-07-09.txt:06:13:13: <pikhq> Depends upon the Tcl version. . . | |
| 211 2007-07-09.txt:06:14:47: <pikhq> The stable version involves returning a temporary proc name; this lets the [lambda] feature work with the miriad Tcl functions that assume a proc is pass by reference. | |
| 212 2007-07-09.txt:06:15:44: <pikhq> http://wiki.tcl.tk/519 <-- Lambda implementations in the stable version of Tcl. | |
| 213 2007-07-09.txt:06:19:32: <pikhq> http://wiki.tcl.tk/10743 <-- I think this is my favorite 8.4 Tcl implementation of anonymous, first-class functions. . . | |
| 214 2007-07-09.txt:06:26:13: <bsmntbombdood> i think that's worthy of a few ooohs, but not if i don't know tcl | |
| 215 2007-07-09.txt:06:26:47: <bsmntbombdood> guile, not tcl! | |
| 216 2007-07-09.txt:06:26:52: <pikhq> First step to make functions first-class: rewrite part of the interpreter. . . From within Tcl. :p | |
| 217 2007-07-09.txt:06:30:33: <pikhq> Tcl is given lambda. . . From pure Tcl. | |

| 220 2007-07-14.txt:05:03:32: <Sukoshi> pikhq: That's your job, TCLer ;) | |
| 221 2007-07-14.txt:05:15:27: <pikhq> Square brackets? You'd love Tcl, then. | |
| 222 2007-07-14.txt:20:05:00: <pikhq> (Ah, Tcl. . . :D) | |
| 223 2007-07-14.txt:20:05:42: <pikhq> I at least *think* Tcl was the first one that I was serious about coding in; before that, I'd mostly done pointless toys. | |
| 224 2007-07-14.txt:20:06:43: <pikhq> Oh, yeah. I'd done Javascript long before Tcl. Created some somewhat useless but 'serious' scripts in it. | |
| 225 2007-07-14.txt:20:25:50: <pikhq> Tcl == short GUIs. | |
| 226 2007-07-14.txt:22:24:43: <ehird`> tcl id guess | |

| 230 2007-07-15.txt:00:33:44: <Figs> well, I've read the tutorial on Tcl a while back... | |
| 231 2007-07-15.txt:00:41:33: <pikhq> (PEBBLE code, BTW, is technically 100% valid Tcl code, syntactically) | |
| 232 2007-07-15.txt:00:50:16: <pikhq> The PEBBLE parser *is* the Tcl parser; I just start up a slave interp, remove Tcl commands, and bind in PEBBLE ones. | |
| 233 2007-07-15.txt:06:26:57: * pikhq is a Tcler; variable references are preceded with $ or used as an argument to set. | |
| 234 2007-07-15.txt:06:32:11: <bsmntbombdood> pikhq: guile replaced tcl | |
| 235 2007-07-15.txt:06:34:46: <pikhq> bsmntbombdood: Scheme and Tcl both pwn. . . ;) | |
| 236 2007-07-15.txt:06:55:31: <pikhq> bsmntbombdood: I'm a poor, poor Tcler. Could you give me your lambda in Tclexps? | |
| 237 2007-07-15.txt:06:55:45: <bsmntbombdood> i don't know tcl... | |
| 238 2007-07-15.txt:06:56:42: <pikhq> I think that's the correct translation into Tcl 8.5. . . | |
| 239 2007-07-15.txt:06:57:40: <bsmntbombdood> tcl's code isn't data, is it? | |
| 240 2007-07-15.txt:07:01:10: <oerjan> bsmntbombdood: in tcl | |
| 241 2007-07-15.txt:07:07:27: <oerjan> is [apply [apply {x {{y {x}}}} 3] 2] actually 3, or does tcl break on it? | |
| 242 2007-07-15.txt:07:10:46: <oerjan> pikhq: actually i am asking if tcl does lambda calculus worth the name | |
| 243 2007-07-15.txt:07:12:18: <pikhq> http://wiki.tcl.tk/4824 This appears to be one solution. | |
| 244 2007-07-15.txt:07:13:55: <pikhq> Note that that code is written using the latest stable Tcl build, which doesn't have functions as a first-class object. | |
| 245 2007-07-15.txt:07:16:08: <pikhq> http://wiki.tcl.tk/16182 This describes the alpha Tcl build. ;) | |
| 246 2007-07-15.txt:07:29:59: <pikhq> Sorry; I'm kind of new to doing strictly functional coding in Tcl. | |
| 247 2007-07-15.txt:23:13:58: <pikhq> Tcl. | |
| 248 2007-07-15.txt:23:44:25: <pikhq> Tclexps are love. | |
| 249 2007-07-16.txt:22:03:22: <pikhq> lament: Tcl makes the difference fairly easy. | |
| 250 2007-07-16.txt:23:01:15: * pikhq is a fan of Tclexp. Seems a bit more functional | |
| 251 2007-07-16.txt:23:01:34: <pikhq> . . . Fine, so I'm saying "I like Tcl" way too much now. | |
| 252 2007-07-16.txt:23:02:31: <oerjan> Tcl is not functional, it doesn't even have properly scoped anonymous closures >:) | |
| 253 2007-07-16.txt:23:05:35: <pikhq> Tcl can now be considered a superset of lambda calculus. . . | |
| 254 2007-07-16.txt:23:07:45: <pikhq> In Tcl, it's a matter of different syntax, rather than needing a huge layer of code to add onto it. | |
| 255 2007-07-17.txt:05:07:21: <pikhq> immibis: Obviously I need to write something in Tcl. | |
| 256 2007-07-17.txt:05:07:41: <pikhq> Tcl is easier to extend. | |
| 257 2007-07-17.txt:05:08:07: <pikhq> If I *really* feel like it, I can rewrite the basic semantics of Tcl. . . | |
| 258 2007-07-17.txt:05:09:19: * pikhq runs off, feeling like patching Tcl's "if" statement. :p | |
| 259 2007-07-18.txt:04:55:47: <pikhq> bsmntbombdood's code as a Tcl list. | |
| 260 2007-07-18.txt:04:55:55: <oklopol> or tcl | |
| 261 2007-07-18.txt:04:56:29: <pikhq> (I'd express it as a Tcl array, except that that can only be expressed as a list) | |
| 262 2007-07-18.txt:04:57:57: <pikhq> bsmntbombdood: Tcl arrays work as foo(bar). . . Associative arrays can't contain arrays, since arrays aren't a first class type. | |
| 263 2007-07-18.txt:04:58:38: <bsmntbombdood> tcl is a wimpy scripting language | |
| 264 2007-07-18.txt:22:36:50: <pikhq> Tcl has 11 rules which fully define it's semantics and syntax. :D | |

| 271 2007-07-22.txt:22:21:34: <pikhq> Tcl doesn't include a default object system, but that doesn't make it useless. . . | |
| 272 2007-07-24.txt:21:33:40: <pikhq> Maybe I should just try and do something that's seperate from the Tcl syntax. . . XD | |
| 273 2007-07-25.txt:03:06:43: * pikhq likes Tcl. . . Dynamic in both senses. . . | |
| 274 2007-07-25.txt:03:08:24: <Sukoshi`> I have to say, Tcl's case was a bit weird. It had a whole bunch of steam behind it, and all the steam just suddenly died one fine day. | |
| 275 2007-07-25.txt:03:09:15: <pikhq> Sun was a large driving force behind Tcl, until one day, when they decided to push Java instead. | |
| 276 2007-07-25.txt:03:09:28: <Sukoshi`> But Tcl died a lot after that. | |
| 277 2007-07-25.txt:03:09:38: <pikhq> Which is really sad, since Tcl's a much nicer language. | |
| 278 2007-07-25.txt:03:09:47: <Sukoshi`> Tcl still had steam, especially because a lot of Jabber's stuff was originally on Tcl, until I'd say 3 years ago. | |
| 279 2007-07-25.txt:03:10:22: <pikhq> Tcl seems to be moving towards a more functional idea of the language. . . | |
| 280 2007-07-25.txt:03:12:16: * pikhq knows 1 easy way to make Tcl perfectly fine for functional programming (other than using the "Jim" interpreter). . . | |
| 281 2007-07-25.txt:03:15:44: * pikhq downloads an 8.5 Tclkit to experiment with adding that rule to Tcl. . . | |
| 282 2007-07-25.txt:03:19:37: <pikhq> Jim is pretty much a light Tcl interpreter, with nice things like "closures" added. | |
| 283 2007-07-25.txt:03:27:44: <Sukoshi`> If you learn a Lisp (CL or Scheme), I'll learn TCL. | |
| 284 2007-07-25.txt:03:54:26: <pikhq> I've got lambda added to Tcl 8.5 in 12 lines. | |
| 285 2007-07-25.txt:03:56:52: <pikhq> All we do for Tcl is make the parser interpret the leading word of a command as starting with {*}, and add on a small lambda function (return [list apply [list $arguments $body]]), and you're done. | |
| 286 2007-07-25.txt:04:10:15: <pikhq> http://pikhq.nonlogic.org/add_anon.tcl There's something to be said for simplicity in your radical language modifications. . . | |
| 287 2007-07-25.txt:04:13:05: <bsmntbombdood> tcl exps are kindof sexpish aren't they? | |
| 288 2007-07-25.txt:23:16:42: <oerjan> but you could probably adapt scheme's system to any sufficiently sexpy language, perhaps tcl... | |

| 291 2007-07-26.txt:05:47:19: <pikhq> Tcl + comments works well for me. | |
| 292 2007-07-26.txt:05:49:03: <immibis> and probably in tcl once i learn it. | |
| 293 2007-07-27.txt:06:07:14: <pikhq> Of course, I come from Tcl, where Unicode is par for the course. | |
| 294 2007-07-27.txt:06:39:02: <immibis> pikhq: i'm learning tcl, and is that legal, incrementing a string? | |
| 295 2007-07-27.txt:06:44:23: <pikhq> Have you read the Tcl man page? | |
| 296 2007-07-27.txt:06:45:20: <pikhq> http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/Tcl.htm | |
| 297 2007-07-27.txt:06:45:45: <pikhq> That's the full syntax and semantics of Tcl. . . Memorize it, and your Tcling will be better off. | |
