| 5 2006-09-21.txt:02:04:52: * ihope tcls pikhq with a feather | |
| 6 2006-10-10.txt:23:12:22: <lament> let's tar and feather him | |
| 7 2007-08-08.txt:03:30:57: <ihope> And how many people have created single-file compression algorithms called "feather" so far? | |
| 8 2007-11-03.txt:00:33:37: <GregorR> I JUST WANT TO TAR AND FEATHER YOU | |
| 9 2007-11-11.txt:22:52:45: <ihope_> Do you want a pound of feathers or a pound of lead? | |
| 10 2007-11-11.txt:22:53:42: <pikhq> (although I'll take either a pound of feathers or lead if it's signed by the Queen of England, so that it's legal tender) | |
| 11 2008-01-24.txt:21:39:18: <Slereah> I've got some "Feather trimming" program in project somewhere, to try to do some minimal length formula | |
| 12 2008-01-25.txt:21:33:28: <slereah_> Well, combinators are more like feathery. | |
| 13 2008-05-09.txt:13:53:37: <ais523> I'm thinking of calling it Feather, because it's so lightweight compared to most Smalltalks | |
| 14 2008-05-09.txt:15:26:45: <ais523> hmm... I think Feather has to be lazy, to prevent it infinite-looping in loads of common cases | |
| 15 2008-05-09.txt:15:27:28: <Slereah_> Feather? | |
| 16 2008-05-12.txt:17:10:59: <ais523> In Feather, everything is a function | |
| 17 2008-05-12.txt:17:12:16: <ais523> whereas Feather truly has no pointers | |
| 18 2008-05-12.txt:17:13:38: <ais523> I don't know of a language that attempted to use time-travel to implement inheritance, though, before Feather | |
| 19 2008-05-12.txt:17:15:20: <ais523> in Feather, pass-by-value is pass-by-reference, there's no way to distinguish between them | |
| 20 2008-05-12.txt:17:16:10: <ais523> in Feather, there will be boxed types too | |
| 21 2008-05-12.txt:17:18:05: <ehird> RodgerTheGreat: Feather has no primitives. | |
| 22 2008-05-12.txt:17:19:15: <ais523> at least from Feather's point of view | |
| 23 2008-05-12.txt:17:19:32: <ais523> the first thing a Feather program does when it starts up is to define its own primitives and syntax | |
| 24 2008-05-12.txt:17:20:12: <ais523> each iteration of the time loop happens simultaneously from Feather's point of view | |
| 25 2008-05-12.txt:17:21:35: <ais523> you just have to realise that Feather's timeline is not the same as the real-life timeline | |
| 26 2008-05-12.txt:17:22:05: <ais523> because Feather can be retroactively transformed into any other language | |
| 27 2008-05-12.txt:17:23:12: <ais523> but Feather itself is unaware that that's happened | |
| 28 2008-05-12.txt:17:24:08: <Deewiant> ais523: what part of this is different from "Feather is all programming languages, it just depends on the compiler/interp you use" | |
| 29 2008-05-12.txt:17:24:54: <Deewiant> ais523: so what rules does a Feather program have to obey to be able to be called that | |
| 30 2008-05-12.txt:17:25:27: <ais523> which is what makes it Feather rather than HQ9+, for instance | |
| 31 2008-05-12.txt:18:57:15: <ais523> it's only after thinking about Feather that I appreciate how it's even possible that a story can have someone go back in time, change a few details, then come back to the present and the world is much like it was when they left with only a few details changed | |
| 32 2008-05-12.txt:18:58:12: <ais523> both of those are common Feather scenarios, the second is something that you have to spend effort avoiding | |
| 33 2008-05-12.txt:19:00:40: <ehird> make that possible in feather | |
| 34 2008-05-29.txt:20:26:25: <ais523> I've been thinking about writing a Feather bootstrap for a while now | |
| 35 2008-05-29.txt:20:26:54: <ais523> because I'm getting fed up of waiting for a feather interp to spontaneously come into existence | |
| 36 2008-05-29.txt:20:27:34: <AnMaster> ais523, feather? | |
| 37 2008-05-29.txt:20:28:00: <ehird> AnMaster: feather is his infinitely-bootstrapped time-loop language | |
| 38 2008-05-29.txt:20:30:15: <oerjan> so this is a grand feather paradox? | |
| 39 2008-05-29.txt:20:35:59: <ais523> in Feather, assuming you're using a boxed number 2 (you would be normally but you need to deal with unboxed objects during bootstrapping) | |
| 40 2008-05-29.txt:20:36:29: <ehird> FeatherOS | |
| 41 2008-05-29.txt:20:36:32: <ais523> not everything is an object, unlike in Feather | |
| 42 2008-05-29.txt:20:55:58: <ehird> ais523: Feather, I hope. | |
| 43 2008-05-29.txt:20:56:47: <ais523> ehird: well, I have considered a feathernomic; its defining feature would probably be that all rulechanges were retroactive to the start of the nomic | |
| 44 2008-05-30.txt:20:55:52: <ais523> oh, Feather has no side effects either | |
| 45 2008-06-02.txt:18:44:59: <ais523> I have a question about what names I should use for things in Feather | |
| 46 2008-06-02.txt:18:53:30: <ais523> sorry, there aren't really in Feather either | |
| 47 2008-06-02.txt:18:54:54: <ais523> oh well, I'll have to think of something different in Feather | |
| 48 2008-06-02.txt:18:55:49: <ais523> (Feather's reminding me more and more of Smalltalk + Haskell + Scheme, by the way) | |
| 49 2008-06-02.txt:21:31:53: <ais523> Hiato: sounds like Feather in reverse | |
| 50 2008-06-02.txt:21:32:23: <Hiato> Feather? I will reference the wiki | |
| 51 2008-06-02.txt:21:35:14: <ais523> but I've only got to documenting Basic Feather so far | |
| 52 2008-06-02.txt:21:50:04: <ais523> as for Feather, primitiveBe is the thing that really sets it apart from other languages, although you have to be careful using it to avoid an infinite loop | |
| 53 2008-06-03.txt:20:44:19: <ais523> anyway, I pasted a bit of what I'd done so far on Feather a while ago | |
| 54 2008-06-03.txt:20:45:45: <ais523> <ais523> anyway, I pasted a bit of what I'd done so far on Feather a while ago | |
| 55 2008-06-10.txt:17:33:46: <ais523> or like writing Feather in Feather? | |
| 56 2008-06-13.txt:19:20:08: <ais523> if there were, then maybe TRDS could be used to write Feather | |
| 57 2008-06-13.txt:19:21:38: <ais523> tusho: yes, that's the operation I want in Feather, really | |
| 58 2008-06-15.txt:17:18:22: <ais523> oh dear, this is starting to remind me of Feather again | |
| 59 2008-06-15.txt:18:01:33: <ais523> tusho: either that, or just wait for a Feather interp with the required features to spontaneously pop into existence | |
| 60 2008-06-15.txt:18:01:48: <tusho> Feather in JS | |
| 61 2008-06-15.txt:18:02:43: <tusho> (Feathers? Feathejs? Get it?) | |
| 62 2008-06-15.txt:18:02:44: <ais523> whose only purpose was to optimise for the operations Feather did | |
| 63 2008-06-15.txt:18:03:17: <tusho> ais523: the good thing about feather in JS is that it'll be totally detached from traditional consoles | |
| 64 2008-06-15.txt:18:03:36: <ais523> the major unusual operation in Feather is giving an argument to a continuation which is almost identical to what the call/cc returned in the first place | |
| 65 2008-06-15.txt:18:05:50: <tusho> it will have a server-side for sharing feather images, though | |
| 66 2008-06-15.txt:18:06:00: <tusho> so is Feather | |
| 67 2008-06-15.txt:18:06:20: <ais523> tusho: because say if you're writing a feather interp in JS | |
| 68 2008-06-15.txt:18:06:22: <tusho> but the actual thing that saves it will be writteni n feather | |
| 69 2008-06-15.txt:18:06:50: <ais523> anyway, a Feather interp in Feather is trivial | |
| 70 2008-06-15.txt:18:07:19: <ais523> Feather has eval so that you can modify it | |
| 71 2008-06-15.txt:18:08:40: <tusho> ais523: shall we just call feathejs ... feather? | |
| 72 2008-06-15.txt:18:09:03: <ais523> call it feathers | |
| 73 2008-06-15.txt:18:09:43: <tusho> ais523: feathers will just make people mix up feather and feathers | |
| 74 2008-06-15.txt:18:09:47: <ais523> I like the idea of multiple feather interps | |
| 75 2008-06-15.txt:18:10:11: <ais523> after all, feather images /are/ portable between interps | |
| 76 2008-06-15.txt:18:34:58: <tusho> which will be useful for feather apps | |
| 77 2008-06-15.txt:18:35:45: <ais523> but the class browser itself would be written in Feather | |
| 78 2008-06-15.txt:18:35:55: <tusho> I mean we would interface jquery ui into feather | |
| 79 2008-06-15.txt:18:36:11: <ais523> tusho: you would make the jquery UI available as IO commands that Feather could use | |
| 80 2008-06-15.txt:18:37:16: <ais523> tusho: yes you can, you just reimplement it in Feather | |
| 81 2008-06-15.txt:18:37:30: <ais523> Feather is worse | |
| 82 2008-06-15.txt:18:43:14: <tusho> just because of the nature of feather | |
| 83 2008-06-16.txt:00:14:12: <tusho> Feather, which lets you retroactively change time | |
| 84 2008-06-17.txt:20:49:49: * tusho watches RodgerTheGreat come and say "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! JUST LIKE FEATHER!" | |
| 85 2008-06-17.txt:20:52:30: <tusho> unless it's feather | |
| 86 2008-06-17.txt:22:05:06: <ais523> and things like Feather are just fun | |
| 87 2008-06-18.txt:15:36:31: <ais523> for instance, I'll definitely need a Feather interp before I figure out what the spec should be | |
| 88 2008-06-18.txt:15:37:47: <oklofok> when you first talked about feather, i had no idea what the use was for the retroactivity, then later half-invented it myself, when trying to solve the same problem :P | |
| 89 2008-06-18.txt:15:38:01: <oklofok> half-invented, because i realized what i was doing was what feather was doing | |
| 90 2008-06-18.txt:15:42:01: <ais523> but the great thing about Feather is that it can be retrofitted onto the language | |
| 91 2008-06-18.txt:15:42:41: <ais523> Feather has eval so that you can modify it! | |
| 92 2008-06-18.txt:15:45:12: <ais523> oklofok: you can do that in Feather | |
| 93 2008-06-18.txt:15:45:37: <ais523> well, I'm trying to make the base of Feather as tarpitty as possible | |
| 94 2008-06-19.txt:16:09:01: <ais523> that retroactivity's so confused that it doesn't even make sense in Feather | |
| 95 2008-06-19.txt:16:13:28: <tusho> ais523: could you express it in feather, though? | |
| 96 2008-06-19.txt:16:13:48: <ais523> tusho: a retroactive Feather change has to be legal in the situation that was retroactively changed from | |
| 97 2008-06-19.txt:16:14:23: <ais523> tusho: nothing, it would be inexpressible, assuming that CANNOT in B Nomic == inexpressible in Feather | |
| 98 2008-06-19.txt:16:15:39: <tusho> oh, and is a feather compiler possible? :P | |
| 99 2008-06-19.txt:16:16:32: <ais523> oh, and a Feather compiler would have to bundle an interp | |
| 100 2008-06-19.txt:16:17:11: <ais523> e.g. you can get the source code for a Feather interp by first retroactively modifying the language to expose the source code of all functions, and then looking at it | |
| 101 2008-06-19.txt:16:31:12: <tusho> ais523: I think we need #feather, because js2cps is a pretty big thingy | |
| 102 2008-06-19.txt:16:31:28: <ais523> tusho: #feather already exists | |
| 103 2008-06-19.txt:16:32:51: <tusho> ais523: write an ircd in feather | |
| 104 2008-06-19.txt:16:33:09: <ais523> tusho: ugh, Feather hates IO | |
| 105 2008-06-19.txt:16:33:30: <tusho> ais523: it occurs to me that Feathejs is like the ideal implementation of feather | |
| 106 2008-06-19.txt:16:35:44: * tusho tries to come up with a channel name that illustrates feather's retroactivity | |
| 107 2008-06-19.txt:16:36:37: <tusho> #featherlanguage | |
| 108 2008-06-19.txt:16:36:43: <ais523> #featherlang | |
| 109 2008-06-19.txt:16:36:48: <tusho> ais523: #feather-lang | |
| 110 2008-06-19.txt:16:41:31: <jix> what's feather? | |
| 111 2008-06-19.txt:16:43:16: <ais523> I'm also making a functional version, protoFeather | |
| 112 2008-06-19.txt:16:43:40: <ais523> and thus become Feather | |
| 113 2008-06-19.txt:16:43:51: <tusho> ais523: feathejs should implement protoFeather | |
| 114 2008-06-19.txt:16:43:54: <tusho> but by default load a Feather image | |
| 115 2008-06-19.txt:16:50:38: <ais523> jix: finding ways to do that is one major part of my effort in Feather | |
| 116 2008-06-19.txt:20:20:52: <tusho> GregorR: Rule 1 of #esoteric: Your language does not need a channel, unless it's Feather. | |
| 117 2008-06-27.txt:18:07:05: <ais523> cherez: worth it, although Feather requires a whole new set of tenses | |
| 118 2008-06-27.txt:23:28:22: <ais523> psygnisfive: try implementing Feather, I'm struggling | |
| 119 2008-06-27.txt:23:28:46: <psygnisfive> whats feather. | |
| 120 2008-06-27.txt:23:29:47: <ais523> I have partial notes on a few feather-like objects | |
| 121 2008-06-27.txt:23:32:34: <ais523> AnMaster: Feather | |
| 122 2008-06-27.txt:23:38:46: <ais523> whereas in Feather you can take information from one possible path and use it to modify the next path that's tried | |
| 123 2008-06-27.txt:23:41:26: <ais523> also, feather's interesting due to consistent time travel rules | |
| 124 2008-06-27.txt:23:49:09: <ais523> oh, and the major problem with Feather programming is avoiding timeloops | |
| 125 2008-06-30.txt:23:32:44: <ais523> tusho: heh, you could do that in Feather | |
| 126 2008-07-03.txt:16:08:02: <ais523> olsner: TwoDucks (uncomputable), Feather (not properly specced and unimplemented) | |
| 127 2008-07-14.txt:19:46:28: <tusho> and feather | |
| 128 2008-07-14.txt:20:45:36: <tusho> ihope: Feather. :P | |
| 129 2008-07-14.txt:20:45:47: <ais523> tusho: Feather has lambda too | |
| 130 2008-07-14.txt:20:46:25: <ihope> What is Feather? | |
| 131 2008-07-17.txt:21:15:49: <ais523> oklopol: I did, it reminded me a bit of Feather and a bit of TwoDucks | |
| 132 2008-07-17.txt:21:17:39: <ais523> oklopol: yes, I know, but that sort of lang is good for implementing Feather in | |
| 133 2008-08-06.txt:22:08:27: <ais523> in Feather, pass by reference and pass by value are indistinguishable | |
| 134 2008-08-06.txt:22:08:36: <SimonRC> ais523: where is Feather? | |
| 135 2008-08-06.txt:22:09:09: <SimonRC> what, Haskell or Feather? | |
| 136 2008-08-06.txt:22:09:28: <ais523> Feather | |
| 137 2008-08-08.txt:20:43:53: <tusho> feather | |
| 138 2008-08-08.txt:20:44:04: <AnMaster> I want to see a feather interpreter | |
| 139 2008-08-08.txt:20:44:18: <ais523> AnMaster: Feather is sufficiently general that after a while everything seems like "that sounds like Feather", it takes over your brain | |
| 140 2008-08-08.txt:20:44:48: <ais523> AnMaster: you absolutely need to bundle the source code with Feather, it's possible to prove it | |
| 141 2008-08-08.txt:20:45:18: <AnMaster> ais523, I don't know enough about feather really | |
| 142 2008-08-08.txt:20:45:47: <AnMaster> ais523, give us hello world in feather! | |
| 143 2008-08-08.txt:20:45:54: <tusho> feather is everything | |
| 144 2008-08-08.txt:20:46:01: <tusho> you can make it the opposite of feather | |
| 145 2008-08-08.txt:20:46:05: <tusho> you can make it so that it never was feather | |
| 146 2008-08-08.txt:20:46:46: <ais523> AnMaster: no, although a Feathernomic would be awesome | |
| 147 2008-08-08.txt:20:47:21: <ais523> I really want to implement Feather | |
| 148 2008-08-08.txt:20:47:34: <tusho> ais523: let's implement feather starting tomorrow | |
| 149 2008-08-08.txt:20:47:34: <ais523> I'll start by implementing Protofeather, I think, which was a lang I invented to write a Feather interp in | |
| 150 2008-08-08.txt:20:49:32: <tusho> feather confuses us enough, it'd be nice to have some base cases | |
| 151 2008-08-08.txt:20:50:00: <ais523> Feather's basic operation is reasonably easy to write in terms of call/cc | |
| 152 2008-08-08.txt:20:50:01: <AnMaster> ais523, well what is the basic syntax of non-modified feather? | |
| 153 2008-08-08.txt:20:50:43: <ais523> I invented Feather after thinking about Smalltalk for a while | |
| 154 2008-08-08.txt:21:59:48: <ais523> tusho: after Feather and Underload and Underlambda and all the other stuff we're going to do | |

| 157 2008-08-09.txt:20:00:16: <tusho> AnMaster: Just use feather to overwrite its eval with a modified interpreter | |
| 158 2008-08-11.txt:19:49:45: <AnMaster> ais523, you never posted those specs and examples of feather btw | |
| 159 2008-08-12.txt:19:07:17: <tusho> optbot: feather | |
| 160 2008-08-12.txt:19:07:21: <tusho> optbot: feather has that? cool | |
| 161 2008-08-23.txt:17:41:11: <AnMaster> ais523, feather? | |
| 162 2008-08-23.txt:18:11:51: <AnMaster> oklopol, implement feather after ais523 write some specs for it? ;D | |
| 163 2008-08-25.txt:17:17:58: <ais523> very Feather | |
| 164 2008-08-26.txt:18:39:06: <dogface> Rar and feather. | |
| 165 2008-08-26.txt:18:40:14: <GregorR> Heh, somebody should invent tags for .tar files called "feathers", so you can tar and feather your files. | |
| 166 2008-09-05.txt:20:06:30: <AnMaster> GreyKnight, like ais523's Feather? | |
| 167 2008-09-07.txt:20:36:00: <AnMaster> I mean, Feather makes me go "wow" | |
| 168 2008-09-07.txt:20:36:19: <tusho> feather is one of those, but... | |
| 169 2008-09-08.txt:20:05:33: <AnMaster> ais523, any news? feather maybe? | |
| 170 2008-09-11.txt:13:12:26: <tusho> his universe runs on feather | |
| 171 2008-09-12.txt:18:14:33: <AnMaster> ais523, how goes feather? | |
| 172 2008-09-12.txt:23:57:09: <tusho> Today, Niklas raped a bird. The bird then raped a Elliott's butt which proceeded to eat fish. be a rapist. and hump feathers. Suddenly, the website for Later that day, a rapist raped himself. Then a bird, who was a rapist, raped Niklas. It was rapelicious. One day, Niklas was not raped he raped a bird and it was still rapelicious. Speaking of rapelicious, I have heard of a rapist beard. 5+5=10 Rape is fun. Yiff! | |
| 173 2008-09-16.txt:21:25:36: <AnMaster> ais523, how goes gcc-bf and Feather? | |
| 174 2008-09-20.txt:20:24:11: <ais523> "I am programming", in English, but "Feather is correct-to-program", in Latin literally translated to English | |
| 175 2008-09-23.txt:15:56:18: <AnMaster> ais523, Feather! | |
| 176 2008-09-23.txt:18:09:07: <AnMaster> ais523, and I would like Feather if you ever got it done ;P | |
| 177 2008-09-23.txt:18:09:32: <tusho> yeah AnMaster thinks he likes feather | |
| 178 2008-09-23.txt:18:12:21: <AnMaster> and well Feather would change the language | |
| 179 2008-09-23.txt:18:12:35: <ais523> Feather would change everything | |
| 180 2008-09-23.txt:18:13:02: <AnMaster> ais523, could you even make any meaningful programs in Feather without changing the language? | |
| 181 2008-09-23.txt:18:15:19: <AnMaster> but I may be wrong since you failed to explain how feather actually works ;P | |
| 182 2008-09-23.txt:18:15:34: <AnMaster> ais523, hello world program in feather please? | |
| 183 2008-09-23.txt:18:15:47: <ais523> AnMaster: I can't write anything in Feather yet, not even a NOP, really | |
| 184 2008-09-23.txt:18:16:20: <AnMaster> ais523, what language do you plan to implement feather in? or the boot strap feather in | |
| 185 2008-09-23.txt:18:18:06: * tusho notes down: Fork Feather at nearest oppertunity | |
| 186 2008-09-23.txt:18:18:28: <ais523> one of the main problems with Feather is I feel it needs an interp before it can be properly specced | |
| 187 2008-09-23.txt:18:23:23: <oerjan> feather should clearly be written in Coq or Agda | |
| 188 2008-09-23.txt:18:30:00: <ais523> continuations are very very important to the way I plan to implement Feather | |
| 189 2008-09-23.txt:18:30:24: <ais523> in fact I was thinking about writing my own language in C, merely implemented to optimise continuations for the unusual use they'll see in a Feather program | |
| 190 2008-09-25.txt:22:18:16: <ais523> wow, oklofok invented Feather | |
| 191 2008-09-26.txt:21:20:59: <tusho> ais523: imagine an AnMaster written feather interp... | |
| 192 2008-09-28.txt:16:01:34: <AnMaster> tusho, the language itself self modifies? Somewhat like Feather then? | |
| 193 2008-09-29.txt:14:37:50: <ais523> unlike something like Feather which keeps running away when I think about it | |
| 194 2008-10-06.txt:09:49:47: <AnMaster> ais523, Feather? | |
| 195 2008-10-06.txt:09:54:56: <ais523> I plan to implement pretty much all of Feather with multireturning call/cc | |
| 196 2008-10-17.txt:12:39:47: <ais523> hmm... I've realised that all my 4 or so outstanding problems to solve before I can implement Feather are actually the same problem | |
| 197 2008-10-17.txt:12:40:56: <ais523> the outstanding problem in Feather is: to determine what in the program after a change corresponded to what before a change | |
| 198 2008-10-17.txt:14:56:22: <ais523> I think I might know how to get Feather to work... | |
| 199 2008-10-17.txt:15:00:05: <oklopol> ais523: sorry, i confused feather with your other unimplementable language | |
| 200 2008-10-17.txt:15:00:16: <AnMaster> oklopol, feather is implementable isn't it? | |
| 201 2008-10-17.txt:15:00:20: <ais523> Feather is at least in theory implementable, I think | |
| 202 2008-10-17.txt:15:14:45: <ais523> basically, the way I think Feather will do it is that input and output are tagged with their /purpose/ | |
| 203 2008-10-17.txt:15:14:56: <AnMaster> ais523, could you make feather become befunge? | |
| 204 2008-10-17.txt:15:15:21: <ais523> as at some point the program would need to be a Feather/Befunge polyglot | |
| 205 2008-10-17.txt:15:15:36: <AnMaster> for original feather | |
| 206 2008-10-17.txt:15:26:04: <AnMaster> ais523, could feather become any other language? | |
| 207 2008-10-17.txt:15:26:41: <ais523> unless you wrote the program as a Feather/Befunge polyglot from the start, which could be fun | |
| 208 2008-10-17.txt:15:26:52: <ais523> AnMaster: you'd have to implement them in Feather | |
| 209 2008-10-17.txt:15:27:11: <ais523> I/O and standard library and such couldn't be in part of the becomed language unless they were in Feather's stdlib to start with | |
| 210 2008-10-17.txt:15:28:42: <AnMaster> ais523, if you could have that on the first line as first char, the befunge/feather polygot would be easy | |
| 211 2008-10-17.txt:15:29:05: <ais523> and that also would make Befunge/Feather an easy polyglot | |
| 212 2008-10-17.txt:15:29:26: <AnMaster> how would it handle the befunge program overwriting parts of the feather code? | |
| 213 2008-10-17.txt:15:29:41: <ais523> AnMaster: it wouldn't care, at the time the Befunge program ran the Feather code would no longer exist | |
| 214 2008-10-17.txt:15:30:08: <ais523> if Feather modified itself into Befunge itself, you couldn't modify it back as Befunge has no command to retroactively change itself into Feather | |
| 215 2008-10-17.txt:15:30:42: <ais523> however, modifying Feather into Befunge definitely qualifies as an insane change | |
| 216 2008-10-17.txt:15:31:35: <ais523> the rule for a sane Feather parser change is that in addition to the other requirements to be sane, it has to be backwards-compatible | |
| 217 2008-10-17.txt:15:41:54: <ais523> hmm... you could do a Feather quine by causing the parser to output its input rather than parsing it, retroactively | |
| 218 2008-10-17.txt:15:45:10: <ais523> in Feather, though, the executable can modify the source and it changes accordingly, whilst still running | |
| 219 2008-10-17.txt:15:45:41: <ais523> hmm... lazy parsing might be useful in Feather, not necessary, but nice | |
| 220 2008-10-17.txt:15:47:06: <AnMaster> ais523, you could add it from within feather anyway ;P | |
| 221 2008-10-17.txt:15:47:47: <ais523> the nature of any Feather interp is that it has to be written entirely in Feather | |
| 222 2008-10-17.txt:15:48:18: <ais523> so you start off with two versions of the same interp, one in Feather, one in some other lang, which both do exactly the same thing | |
| 223 2008-10-17.txt:15:49:02: <ais523> that seems like a better bet than hoping a Feather interp will spontaneously come into existence, great as that would be | |
| 224 2008-10-17.txt:15:49:15: <ais523> once Feather is running, it's under the impression that there are an infinite number of layers of Feather interps under it | |
| 225 2008-10-17.txt:17:56:39: <ais523> AnMaster: not even if you write featherfunge some day? | |
| 226 2008-10-17.txt:17:57:21: <AnMaster> 1) There is no working Feather yet | |
| 227 2008-10-17.txt:17:57:24: <ais523> that involves having a working Feather first | |
| 228 2008-10-17.txt:17:57:38: <AnMaster> 2) I never said I would write a feather funge indeed | |
| 229 2008-10-19.txt:12:02:24: <ais523> hmm... figuring out how to hot-change parts of a Feather program while it's running is a major problem | |
| 230 2008-10-20.txt:10:13:52: <ais523> oklopol: hmm... Feather makes me feel the same way, or worse | |
| 231 2008-10-20.txt:15:17:24: <AnMaster> then that is purely hypothetical, at least until ais523 implements Feather | |
| 232 2008-10-20.txt:19:38:12: <AnMaster> psygnisfive, ever heard of Feather? | |
| 233 2008-10-21.txt:18:56:01: <ais523|busy> I wonder if it will be easier or harder to implement than Feather | |
| 234 2008-10-21.txt:18:56:35: <ais523|busy> anyway, I think I've figured out how to prevent Feather going into an infinite loop (as opposed to arbitrary loop) when it parses the parser with itself | |
| 235 2008-10-21.txt:18:57:04: <ais523|busy> Deewiant: it's a Feather thing | |
| 236 2008-10-21.txt:19:02:39: <oklopol> #feather is taken, i see | |
| 237 2008-10-21.txt:19:03:08: <ais523|busy> #feather-lang is the appropriate channel | |
| 238 2008-10-29.txt:16:01:00: <ehird> is a persistent, permanent URI that doesn't depend on anything changing (you can't retroactively not have that email at that time unless you're in featherworld) | |
| 239 2008-11-03.txt:17:41:34: <ehird> jayCampbell: feather! | |
| 240 2008-11-03.txt:17:42:02: <ais523> ehird: please don't randomly throw out Feather references to people who haven't seen it before, it took several weeks to explain the first time | |
| 241 2008-11-03.txt:17:44:20: <jayCampbell> what is feather? | |
| 242 2008-11-03.txt:17:47:11: <ais523> for what, Feather? | |
| 243 2008-11-03.txt:17:47:29: <ais523> so the parser, and indeed the entire interp, needs to be written from scratch in Feather | |
| 244 2008-11-03.txt:17:51:09: <ais523> which is about the only meaningful operation in Feather, and also the one that causes all the headaches | |
| 245 2008-11-03.txt:17:51:46: <ais523> a Feather codenomic would be entirely platonic, and you could retroactively change what the rules were in the past and have everything reinterpreted under those rules | |
| 246 2008-11-03.txt:17:52:46: <ais523> the main problem is that this is how Feather handles /everything/ | |
| 247 2008-11-03.txt:17:53:26: <ais523> Feather defies comparison to anything, really | |
| 248 2008-11-03.txt:17:55:08: <jayCampbell> the "problem" being creating a code-based nomic, not feather's implementation | |
| 249 2008-11-03.txt:18:04:30: <ais523> I invented Feather originally because Smalltalk wasn't Smalltalky enough IMO, but it ended up as something moderately different | |
| 250 2008-11-03.txt:18:05:06: <psygnisfive> ais show me feather again | |
| 251 2008-11-03.txt:18:37:45: <ais523> unlike Feather, Cyclexa does have a spec | |
| 252 2008-11-03.txt:18:37:52: <ais523> but like Feather, it doesn't have an implementation | |
| 253 2008-11-05.txt:19:47:18: <ais523> the main problematicness in continuation-related thinking processes is the go-back-in-time thing (btw, I'm planning to use them for Feather, they're the perfect choice for it) | |
| 254 2008-11-10.txt:20:05:59: <AnMaster> ais523, how goes gcc-bf? ick? feather? | |
| 255 2008-11-10.txt:20:06:09: <AnMaster> I got a good name for a feather interpreter btw. | |
| 256 2008-11-10.txt:20:07:04: <AnMaster> 2) pens have traditionally been made from feathers | |
| 257 2008-11-10.txt:20:07:31: <oklopol> feather could be the name of a pen interpreter | |
| 258 2008-11-14.txt:22:16:34: <AnMaster> ais523, how goes ick, gcc-bf, feather and so on? | |
| 259 2008-11-25.txt:15:21:57: <ehird> do you have a beard? feather will take the world by storm | |
| 260 2008-11-25.txt:15:51:12: <ais523> ehird: Feather | |
| 261 2008-12-22.txt:18:50:44: <ais523> ehird: stop inventing Feather | |
| 262 2008-12-26.txt:21:03:03: <oklopol> but i think feather is the coolest self-parser sofar | |
| 263 2008-12-26.txt:21:03:46: * oerjan invents Banana Feather, it sort of fits in here | |
| 264 2009-01-14.txt:19:56:47: <AnMaster> <ais523> because then you could change the syntax at runtime <-- Feather! | |
| 265 2009-01-20.txt:18:02:51: <AnMaster> ais523, what about feather? It could be both :P | |
| 266 2009-01-20.txt:18:02:58: <ais523> AnMaster: ah, Feather | |
| 267 2009-01-20.txt:18:08:17: <AnMaster> ehird, you mean like Feather? ;P | |
| 268 2009-01-20.txt:18:08:35: <ais523> incidentally, my guiding goal for Feather starting syntax is "looks vaguely like Smalltalk, but for different reasons" | |
| 269 2009-01-20.txt:18:09:00: <AnMaster> ais523, oh, interesting, I would never have ended up with feather by that | |
| 270 2009-01-22.txt:15:21:10: <ais523> my other big new esolang project, besides Feather | |
| 271 2009-01-30.txt:15:14:56: <ehird> it's sort of like feather but not rly | |
| 272 2009-02-13.txt:21:49:18: * ais523 feather-dusters oerjan ----<<< | |
| 273 2009-02-15.txt:17:13:13: <ais523> oerjan: there's the method Feather uses | |
| 274 2009-03-01.txt:18:34:53: <AnMaster> ais523, any progress on Feather? | |
| 275 2009-03-08.txt:18:52:30: <ais523> or Feather and get people shouting at me to make some progress | |
| 276 2009-03-16.txt:18:47:45: <fizzie> Quetzalcoatl is the feathered snake. And couatl is a D&D monster that refers to that, and has the A symbol. So it's probably that. | |
| 277 2009-04-01.txt:23:04:26: <AnMaster> ais523, could you write Proud be written in Feather? | |
| 278 2009-04-01.txt:23:04:38: <ais523> no, Proud's uncomputable, Feather is not super-TC | |
| 279 2009-04-01.txt:23:04:46: <ais523> although Feather hurts my head, and I don't want my brain to explode right now | |
| 280 2009-04-01.txt:23:05:09: <cpt_obvious> wut's Feather? | |
| 281 2009-04-01.txt:23:06:05: <ais523> cpt_obvious: I suggest you ask in #feather-lang, I think it's empty atm so it'll be safe to ask | |
| 282 2009-04-01.txt:23:07:00: <ais523> which is another reason not to explain Feather right now | |
| 283 2009-04-01.txt:23:07:12: <ais523> explaining Feather to someone /who is drunk/ probably would cause a fatality | |
| 284 2009-04-01.txt:23:07:12: <ehird> ais523: I don't know; alcohol may well improve perception of Feather | |
| 285 2009-04-01.txt:23:07:55: <cpt_obvious> WTF is Feather | |
| 286 2009-04-01.txt:23:08:08: <ehird> cpt_obvious: feather is like, like, like, a trip, except the drug is time, man | |
| 287 2009-04-01.txt:23:09:05: <ais523> seeing as nothing in Feather can ever change | |
| 288 2009-04-05.txt:12:25:40: <AnMaster_ipv6> ais523, I guess you could do it in Feather though? | |
| 289 2009-04-05.txt:12:25:57: <ais523> Feather doesn't really define its I/O environment at all | |
| 290 2009-04-09.txt:22:29:14: <AnMaster> ehird, I much prefer the feather way of making true always have been false, all the time along | |
| 291 2009-04-09.txt:22:31:58: <AnMaster> ais523, Feather is TC to parse right | |
| 292 2009-04-09.txt:22:39:26: <ais523> AnMaster: what I mean with Feather is that the first pass is always trivial, because it's just tokenising into letters | |
| 293 2009-04-09.txt:22:44:18: <AnMaster> ais523, write a first stage parser then. I mean do you ever plan to spec, or even implement feather? | |
| 294 2009-04-09.txt:22:44:24: <AnMaster> btw why the name feather for it | |
| 295 2009-04-19.txt:17:45:13: <AnMaster> it's like feather then in that no one described it precisely enough for me to get a feeling of what it is like. Languages like that are like an itch (if you see what I mean). | |
| 296 2009-04-26.txt:19:08:14: <AnMaster> ais523, any progress on Feather | |
| 297 2009-04-29.txt:18:20:25: <fungot> AnMaster: ' that wouldn't be very nice, i'm fnord this is always done however fnord fnord: fnord those that have feathers, and bite, and those that have feathers, and bite, and those that have whiskers, and scratch. | |
| 298 2009-04-30.txt:00:59:07: <AnMaster> psygnisfive, what about Feather? | |
| 299 2009-04-30.txt:01:00:22: <AnMaster> psygnisfive, neither Feather or oklotalk are on the wiki. Trust me. | |
