2011-04-05.txt:19:56:12: <ZOMGMODULES> elliott: depends on the language

2011-04-05.txt:19:56:29: <ZOMGMODULES> i dunno man, should be relaxing
2011-04-05.txt:19:56:47: <ZOMGMODULES> it's like drumming... it has a cadence
2011-04-05.txt:19:57:01: <ZOMGMODULES> THIS IS THE WISDOM OF ZOMGMODULES.  HEED IT
2011-04-05.txt:19:57:37: <ZOMGMODULES> your grammar is pretty much established?
2011-04-05.txt:19:57:58: <ZOMGMODULES> you wrote it out?  on paper?
2011-04-05.txt:19:58:04: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: well, the bootstrap grammar is pretty much established. i'm not going to try fun stuff until i rewrite the compiler in the language.
2011-04-05.txt:19:58:41: <ZOMGMODULES> you need to write it out, preferably on paper but also in a comment block at the top of the source is acceptable, or it won't be relaxing.
2011-04-05.txt:19:59:10: <ZOMGMODULES> this is the wisdom
2011-04-05.txt:19:59:45: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: pretty impressive ass you have there, with all the ideas you pull out of it ;;;;::DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDdddddddddddd
2011-04-05.txt:20:03:03: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: with yacc-like things, if you have like, [a; b; c] and {a; b; c} both as blocks
2011-04-05.txt:20:04:56: * ZOMGMODULES ACKNOWLEDGES NOT THESE "YACC-LIKE THINGS"
2011-04-05.txt:20:05:15: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU WRITE THIS PARSER RECURSIVE-DESCENT
2011-04-05.txt:20:07:19: <ZOMGMODULES> void parse() { if(tokeq("["){expect("["); parse_list(); expect("]");} else if (tokeq("{"){expect("{"); parse_list(); expect("}");} else error(); }
2011-04-05.txt:20:07:28: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: no i don't mean that
2011-04-05.txt:20:07:56: <ZOMGMODULES> void parse_list() { parse_elem(); while(tokeq(";")){ expect(";"); parse_elem(); } }
2011-04-05.txt:20:09:02: <ZOMGMODULES> i'd love to, it's very relaxing.  unfortunately, can't spend all day here
2011-04-05.txt:20:09:19: <ZOMGMODULES> though 'dem smalltalk thangles' is a little underspecified for my taste
2011-04-05.txt:20:09:55: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: message is expr messagepart*
2011-04-05.txt:20:12:29: <ZOMGMODULES> i would just accept ident or ident: interchangeably and filter out the bad stuff at the static analysis phase
2011-04-05.txt:20:12:33: <ZOMGMODULES> if that's legal
2011-04-05.txt:20:12:41: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: oh that's not the problem
2011-04-05.txt:20:12:51: <ZOMGMODULES> hey,... ghci's "let" does something like that, right oerjan?
2011-04-05.txt:20:13:02: <ZOMGMODULES> if it's good enough for ghci it's good enough for me
2011-04-05.txt:20:13:19: <ZOMGMODULES> elliott: that's a dumb grammar
2011-04-05.txt:20:13:25: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: that's smalltalk
2011-04-05.txt:20:13:33: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: really :s are banned in identifiers altogether
2011-04-05.txt:20:13:36: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: it's just that they're valid _symbols_
2011-04-05.txt:20:13:37: <ZOMGMODULES> "That's our Smalltalk!"
2011-04-05.txt:20:13:43: * ZOMGMODULES canned laughter
2011-04-05.txt:20:14:19: <ZOMGMODULES> this is pretty much why i never got into smalltalk
2011-04-05.txt:20:14:30: <ZOMGMODULES> this very part of it seemed unnecessarily brutal
2011-04-05.txt:20:14:42: <ZOMGMODULES> :'s
2011-04-05.txt:20:14:58: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: hmm, i dunno
2011-04-05.txt:20:15:34: <ZOMGMODULES> my brain just does not think like that
2011-04-05.txt:20:16:02: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: well, it's nicer than /python's/ approach to the "argument positions are meaningless" problem.
2011-04-05.txt:20:16:05: <ZOMGMODULES> using the same label mechanism for all those things
2011-04-05.txt:20:16:26: <ZOMGMODULES> that's ok.  it's been a long time and i don't remember
2011-04-05.txt:20:22:06: <ZOMGMODULES> I do not know if I agree with the sentiment that adding a random number to every character in your program and interpreting it as Perl counts as your language being "Turing-complete"
2011-04-05.txt:20:26:12: <oerjan> <ZOMGMODULES> hey,... ghci's "let" does something like that, right oerjan? <-- well that's what it looked like...
2011-04-05.txt:20:26:26: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: look at dat lack of braces
2011-04-05.txt:20:27:57: <ZOMGMODULES> C needs a ";;" operator that is a high-precedence ";" to avoid the need for braces
2011-04-05.txt:20:28:10: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: and we could call it ocaml
2011-04-05.txt:20:28:12: <ZOMGMODULES> if (x==y) printf("hi") ;; printf("there")
2011-04-05.txt:20:28:30: <ZOMGMODULES> oh uh
2011-04-05.txt:20:28:31: <ZOMGMODULES> SURWE
2011-04-05.txt:20:28:34: <ZOMGMODULES> *SURE
2011-04-05.txt:20:28:43: <ZOMGMODULES> the more ;'s the higher the precedence
2011-04-05.txt:20:29:11: <ZOMGMODULES> yeah that's not quite my vision
2011-04-05.txt:20:37:33: <ZOMGMODULES> they do research on viewpoints
2011-04-05.txt:20:37:56: <ZOMGMODULES> "We found that a certain percentage of the population hold one opinion, while the rest hold another."
2011-04-05.txt:20:38:14: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: careful. alan kay might punch you

2011-04-05.txt:20:42:35: <Phantom_Hoover> ZOMGMODULES, you're named after a werewolf.
2011-04-05.txt:20:42:44: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: So, like your parents then?

2011-04-05.txt:20:56:28: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: IS THAT RIGHT, O WISE RECURSIVELY-DESCENDING MASTER
2011-04-05.txt:21:00:18: <ZOMGMODULES> elliott I AM STILL TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THE ENGLISH GROUP
2011-04-05.txt:21:01:56: <ZOMGMODULES> elliott: does your accept() have a side-effect
2011-04-05.txt:21:02:05: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: accept() is
2011-04-05.txt:21:03:00: <ZOMGMODULES> huh. i always use expect(), and never accept()
2011-04-05.txt:21:03:12: <ZOMGMODULES> i use tokeq() which doesn't consume
2011-04-05.txt:21:03:17: <ZOMGMODULES> fewer side-effects in tests
2011-04-05.txt:21:03:18: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: well i copied accept() from wikipedia :) but accept is actually quite nice i think
2011-04-05.txt:21:03:30: <ZOMGMODULES> if you like side-effects in tests, SURE
2011-04-05.txt:21:03:42: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: if (ident() && accept(COLON) && expr()) return 1;
2011-04-05.txt:21:03:52: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: (ok so that wouldn't be as nice-looking in practice cuz you have to build an ast, but that's not bad)
2011-04-05.txt:21:04:51: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: PRETTY
2011-04-05.txt:21:08:00: <ZOMGMODULES> wow, I took almost all day to come up with two lines of code
2011-04-05.txt:21:08:49: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: http://sprunge.us/iQeM hey this grammar is actually pretty simple
2011-04-05.txt:21:09:56: <ZOMGMODULES> if your tests consume tokens, you won't have infinite loops
2011-04-05.txt:21:10:24: <ZOMGMODULES> at least you have THAT assurance, with those side-effects
2011-04-05.txt:21:10:38: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: i'm practically a nazi
2011-04-05.txt:21:10:50: <ZOMGMODULES> expects are... more like exit()s in C
2011-04-05.txt:21:11:05: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: right but like if you have a
2011-04-05.txt:21:11:10: <ZOMGMODULES> unless you do some fancy catching thing with them
2011-04-05.txt:21:11:18: <ZOMGMODULES> in which case they're more like throw
2011-04-05.txt:21:11:52: <ZOMGMODULES> you will eventually run out of tokens
2011-04-05.txt:21:12:02: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: accept doesn't consume if it doesn't match
2011-04-05.txt:21:12:12: <ZOMGMODULES> oh, right
2011-04-05.txt:21:12:46: <ZOMGMODULES> THAT IS WHY ZOMGMODULES USES IT ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY
2011-04-05.txt:21:12:53: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: GOOD ADVICE
2011-04-05.txt:21:13:07: <ZOMGMODULES> I even do things like { if tokeq(";") { expect(";"); ... } }
2011-04-05.txt:21:13:22: <ZOMGMODULES> simplicity > efficiency
2011-04-05.txt:21:13:58: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: um but that's exactly what accept is :D
2011-04-05.txt:21:14:06: <ZOMGMODULES> yes
2011-04-05.txt:21:14:22: <ZOMGMODULES> that's why accept is an UNNECESSARY
2011-04-05.txt:21:14:55: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: BLAHHH
2011-04-05.txt:21:15:08: <ZOMGMODULES> also, ...
2011-04-05.txt:21:15:19: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: so your routines, do they call the tokeniser or does the tokeniser call it?
2011-04-05.txt:21:15:35: <ZOMGMODULES> void parse_foo() { expect("foo"); }   void parse_bar() { if (tokeq("foo")) parse_foo(); }
2011-04-05.txt:21:16:27: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: actually with recursive descent the latter would only be possible with continuations i think :D
2011-04-05.txt:21:16:29: <ZOMGMODULES> elliott: I call the tokenizer, generally
2011-04-05.txt:21:16:34: <ZOMGMODULES> elliott: you got it
2011-04-05.txt:21:16:41: <ZOMGMODULES> elliott: with something continuation-like, anyway
2011-04-05.txt:21:16:44: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: which means: we need that C continuation lib!
2011-04-05.txt:21:16:55: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: I APPROVE OF MY PROBLEM-SOLVING METHOD
2011-04-05.txt:21:17:02: <ZOMGMODULES> once, in Erlang, I did neither.  I had the lexer and parser be seperate processes which messaged each other
2011-04-05.txt:21:17:22: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: that's ... almost beautifully hideous
2011-04-05.txt:21:21:56: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: so does writing a compiler that compiles to machine code hurts?
2011-04-05.txt:21:29:58: <ZOMGMODULES> tswettbot: you rock
2011-04-05.txt:21:30:12: * ZOMGMODULES is hoping a dozen debug windows just opened up for tswett
2011-04-05.txt:21:30:47: <ZOMGMODULES> < elliott> ZOMGMODULES: so does writing a compiler that compiles to machine code hurts? <-- no, not really... depends, I guess
2011-04-05.txt:21:31:33: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: yeah but my compiler has to have, liek, two backends!
2011-04-05.txt:21:31:42: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: x86-64/linux and x86-64/NOTHING
2011-04-05.txt:21:32:23: <ZOMGMODULES> elliott: then it's not, generally speaking, that painful... everything is partitioned nicely.
2011-04-05.txt:21:32:31: <ZOMGMODULES> lexer, parser, ast, codegen.
2011-04-05.txt:21:32:42: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: oh the compiler parts don't scare me.
2011-04-05.txt:21:32:53: <ZOMGMODULES> it's if you want to do it all "narrow" where it gets hairy
2011-04-05.txt:21:33:13: <ZOMGMODULES> nothing too painful about generating x86 code, is there?
2011-04-05.txt:21:33:21: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: well no. but i want mnemonics!
2011-04-05.txt:21:33:36: <ZOMGMODULES> you want to generate assembler?
2011-04-05.txt:21:34:07: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: no.
2011-04-05.txt:21:34:17: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: i want to generate machine code using an assembler-ish dsl
2011-04-05.txt:21:34:20: <ZOMGMODULES> then you lost me at "mnemonics"
2011-04-05.txt:21:34:54: <ZOMGMODULES> then you (in effect) want to write an assembler, and generate assembly for that assembler
2011-04-05.txt:21:35:07: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: yes. that's true. but i don't want to _generate_ it, i want to invoke its routines directly.
2011-04-05.txt:21:35:16: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: and the assembler doesn't actually have to be convenient...
2011-04-05.txt:21:35:52: <ZOMGMODULES> elliott: then you are writing a codegen.
2011-04-05.txt:21:36:22: <ZOMGMODULES> a codegen with an API whose entry points have names that mnemonics.  much like, well, every API
2011-04-05.txt:21:36:27: <ZOMGMODULES> *that are
2011-04-05.txt:21:37:12: <ZOMGMODULES> there are many codegens that let you switch out backends to target a different architecture.  if that's what you're saying
2011-04-05.txt:21:37:21: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: no no no.
2011-04-05.txt:21:38:22: <ZOMGMODULES> elliott: I've basically coded that API (in C, not Smalltalk)
2011-04-05.txt:21:38:50: <elliott> ZOMGMODULES: sure. it's easy enough for a subset. just IDEALLY i'd generate it from the big instruction table things :)
2011-04-05.txt:21:39:23: <ZOMGMODULES> generating it from an instruction table, yes: I've never done that and it would have some nice to it.
2011-04-05.txt:21:39:53: * ZOMGMODULES SAYS ONLY EXACTLY WHAT ZOMGMODULES MEANS
2011-04-05.txt:21:40:18: * ZOMGMODULES DISMISSES TSWETTBOT!!!!

2011-04-05.txt:22:10:28: <ZOMGMODULES> C has fine support for sexprs once you code them up

2011-04-06.txt:00:00:17: <ZOMGMODULES> all variables are variables that can expand themselves
2011-04-06.txt:00:00:23: <ZOMGMODULES> said expansion is execution
