2008-02-16.txt:23:48:08: <Sgeo> Pseudo-TCL?
2008-02-16.txt:23:54:13: <Sgeo>  What's the difference between ptl and tcl?
2009-10-27.txt:02:41:06: <Sgeo> Um, it had a program to easily create your own nightclub
2009-10-27.txt:02:48:18: <Sgeo> I can't remember the platform. Adobe Atmosphere? That unknown nightclub thingy? Flatland?
2010-05-16.txt:02:22:31: <pikhq> Sgeo_2: I'm saying I liked it better when it was called Tcl.
2010-08-27.txt:22:25:41: <Sgeo> TCL isn't an esolang?
2010-08-29.txt:16:10:40: <Sgeo> alise, FightClub is awesome
2010-08-29.txt:17:10:12: <Sgeo> Obviously, I'm faking all the FightClub stuff just to get alise into Crawl
2010-08-29.txt:19:46:43: <SgeoN2> Alise, ping me whenbyou request fightclub fights
2010-09-10.txt:22:30:09: <Sgeo> alise, I'm gonna play with FightClub
2010-09-17.txt:23:16:22: -!- Sgeo|FsckThatCli has joined #esoteric.
2010-09-17.txt:23:16:33: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> How much space do the logs take?
2010-09-17.txt:23:16:44: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> And what was the first Sgep message?
2010-09-17.txt:23:16:54: <Vorpal> Sgeo|FsckThatCli, 170 MB or such, >200 MB when importing it into the db
2010-09-17.txt:23:17:04: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Meh
2010-09-17.txt:23:17:15: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Maybe when my computer's working again, I'll play with it
2010-09-17.txt:23:20:25: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> I forgot the password for Sgeo
2010-09-17.txt:23:20:33: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> So had use Sgep
2010-09-17.txt:23:20:41: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Eventually remembered Sgeo's password, I think
2010-09-17.txt:23:20:56: <Vorpal> Sgeo|FsckThatCli, what was esoshell?
2010-09-17.txt:23:21:22: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> 15:37:23 <calamari> ihope: http://esoshell.kidsquid.com/ 15:37:45 <calamari> ihope: it allows you to use certain esoteric languages straight from your web browser
2010-09-17.txt:23:21:51: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Hmm, so I was on #esoteric before then
2010-09-17.txt:23:22:10: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> erm, I mean, Freenode
2010-09-17.txt:23:22:54: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> My first day:

2010-09-17.txt:23:23:11: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> 17:19:29 <Sgep> PESOIX?
2010-09-17.txt:23:23:41: <Vorpal> Sgeo|FsckThatCli, what was PESOIX?
2010-09-17.txt:23:23:52: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Inspiration for PSOX
2010-09-17.txt:23:24:13: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Story of the name PSOX:
2010-09-17.txt:23:24:18: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Increment PESOIX to PESOX
2010-09-17.txt:23:24:45: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Hear complains about the name being too similar, so go with phonetics: P-ESO-X = P S O X
2010-09-17.txt:23:25:20: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Well, P-ES-O-X I guess
2010-09-17.txt:23:26:13: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> What do you mean, I don't ask too many questions?
2010-09-17.txt:23:30:20: * Sgeo|FsckThatCli feels like plotting 4-dimensional graphs
2010-09-17.txt:23:31:16: <Vorpal> Sgeo|FsckThatCli, you asked quite a few. Hm should do questions / total lines
2010-09-17.txt:23:31:53: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> What's that LIMIT 20 for?
2010-09-17.txt:23:33:28: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> How about fractions for nonbots?

2010-09-17.txt:23:44:18: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> We should look for days where for some reason, questioning rations for people, at least one person, are particularly high
2010-09-17.txt:23:44:39: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> I think today's, for example, is a bit high?
2010-09-17.txt:23:44:45: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Except I'm not me
2010-09-17.txt:23:44:57: <Vorpal> Sgeo|FsckThatCli, I'm matching on Sgeo% not Sgeo

2010-09-17.txt:23:50:16: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> But just beeping after me pinging Warrigal

2010-09-17.txt:23:59:29: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> quintopia, it is obvious that you know no Haskell, Prolog, or Erlang
2010-09-18.txt:00:00:25: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Well, Erlang and Prolog are kind of, sort of related

2010-09-18.txt:00:10:55: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Well, that's interesting
2010-09-18.txt:00:11:01: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Maybe I should learn about Coq
2010-09-18.txt:00:11:27: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> I vaguely feel like I'm switching my love back to Haskell
2010-09-18.txt:00:12:04: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> The thing that drove me away from Haskell last time was things like zippers. It should not be a headache to implement things that are easy imperitively
2010-09-18.txt:00:12:46: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> What's the equiv for SQLite?
2010-09-18.txt:00:13:29: <fizzie> Sgeo|FsckThatCli: "Do it in the client app" is, I think, pretty much it.
2010-09-18.txt:00:13:59: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> I think SQLite has triggers though>?
2010-09-18.txt:00:14:55: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Someone should work out if it's TC
2010-09-18.txt:00:16:03: <fizzie> Sgeo|FsckThatCli: It has a bit nonstandard implementation of triggers; you could get top-N-per-month with those, assuming the triggers are allowed to write to other tables. It still won't be a single query, though.
2010-09-18.txt:00:16:21: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> Can triggers trigger triggers?
2010-09-18.txt:00:17:04: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> quintopia, are you guessing?
2010-09-18.txt:00:17:36: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> I don't get it. is alise suggesting that Lisp isn't easy to understand?
2010-09-18.txt:00:17:53: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> I think I can read Lisp better than Factor
2010-09-18.txt:00:18:33: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> I'm not thinking about solutions to the problem
2010-09-18.txt:00:18:47: <Sgeo|FsckThatCli> I'm wondering if programming in SQLite/Triggers would be interesting

2012-07-03.txt:16:40:38: <Sgeo> On the one hand, I'm curious about Tcl, on the other, I think some people consider it terrible
2012-07-03.txt:16:43:55: <Sgeo> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/99681/why-wont-tcl-die
2012-07-03.txt:16:44:08: <Sgeo> " If you never really liked shell-script (or make, for that matter), you'll probably dislike Tcl"

2012-07-03.txt:18:12:07: <Sgeo> My impression of Tcl so far is that it's probably a very suitable language for a "malicious code that looks like innocent code" contest
2012-07-03.txt:18:21:48: <Sgeo> Richard Stallman hates Tcl?
2012-07-03.txt:18:34:21: <Sgeo> Phantom_Hoover, yes, because as far as I know Tcl isn't proprietary
2012-07-03.txt:19:04:40: <Sgeo> "F'rinstance, Tcl's support for lambda expressions is weak to nonexistant; OTOH, command prefixes as higher-order functions work rather well."
2012-07-03.txt:20:20:41: <Sgeo> I think that's a good description of Tcl in general.
2012-07-04.txt:06:34:43: * Sgeo vaguely wonders what elliott thinks of Tcl
2012-07-04.txt:08:07:17: <Sgeo> Tcl seems like it might be a good language for a codenomic
2012-07-09.txt:21:31:33: <Sgeo> Although I've looked at Tcl, and I know that's not really well liked. Although it's not bad like COBOL
2012-07-09.txt:23:57:46: <Sgeo> Is it reasonable to want to make a non-eggdrop bot in Tcl?
2012-07-12.txt:02:03:16: <Sgeo> Just encountered an advantage that Lisp-style macros have over Tcl-style... thingy
2012-07-12.txt:02:48:44: <Sgeo> Why why why would a Tcl'er joke about Lisp like _that_
2012-07-12.txt:02:48:53: <Sgeo> I mean, in that regard, Tcl and Lisp are rather close
2012-07-12.txt:07:45:22: <Sgeo_> There's at least two such things for Tcl
2012-07-12.txt:19:05:30: <Sgeo_> pikhq_, are there any good reason for Tcl arrays to not be first-class?
2012-07-12.txt:19:06:01: <pikhq_> Sgeo_: Yes: Tcl "arrays" are nothing more than variables with a certain class of names.
2012-07-12.txt:19:06:55: <pikhq_> Sgeo_: In *principle*, Tcl could be implemented without them actually existing. The array proc would just have to do more work.
2012-07-12.txt:19:07:50: <pikhq_> Sgeo_: Tcl arrays are hash tables.
2012-07-12.txt:19:13:15: <pikhq_> Sgeo_: Everything in Tcl is a string. Some commands happen to treat strings in a particular way. The Tcl implementation stores strings in a format more convenient for those commands as an implementation detail.
2012-07-12.txt:19:14:08: <pikhq_> Sgeo_: Even friggin' *numbers* aren't really first-class in Tcl. They're just strings containing digits.
2012-07-12.txt:19:19:02: <Sgeo_> Apparently Tcl 8.6's OO is based on XOTcl
2012-07-12.txt:19:20:29: <Sgeo_> Why would it be a pain to use straight if it's XOTcl-inspired? Missing a few XOTcl features, but is XOTcl a pain?
2012-07-12.txt:19:32:08: <Sgeo_> pikhq_, why does the Tcl community love Metakit so much, and why aren't there Metakit bindings into languages other than Python Tcl and I forget the third?
2012-07-12.txt:19:33:26: <pikhq_> Sgeo_: It's friggin' handy being able to stick a Tcl app into a single binary.
2012-07-12.txt:19:34:47: <Sgeo_> I think the Tcl app in a single binary thing is one of the things drawing me to Tcl actually
2012-07-12.txt:19:40:45: <Sgeo_> "Tcllib has an approximatley yearly release schedule. Version 1.10 has been released September 12, 2007."
2012-07-12.txt:19:47:24: <Sgeo_> Would Snit need to exist if there was one Tcl OO system from the start?
2012-07-12.txt:19:48:03: <Sgeo_> If there was one Tcl OO system, there wouldn't be competing systems to treat identically
2012-07-12.txt:20:19:59: <Sgeo_> pikhq, is it fair to say that it's impossible to have an object capability system in Tcl because any unique object could be brute-forced?
2012-07-12.txt:20:22:53: <Sgeo_> pikhq_, is there a reason tcllib has two different OO libraries?
2012-07-12.txt:20:24:22: <pikhq_> Sgeo_: If it's a pure Tcl library, it can go in Tcllib. There's not much vetting for redundancy.
2012-07-13.txt:01:04:38: <Sgeo_> pikhq, why are there no Tcl "data structures" that map cleanly to a bunch of Tcl commands?
2012-07-13.txt:01:04:57: <Sgeo_> Lists are good for one Tcl command, thus making construction with [list ... ] simple
2012-07-13.txt:01:45:42: <Sgeo_> Why am I still looking at Tcl instead of Lisp?
2012-07-13.txt:05:11:24: <Sgeo_> "Tcl is formally just as powerful since everything is a string, but it is usually not practical to have Tcl code take Tcl scripts apart and modified, since there are few facilities available out of the box for handling Tcl scripts at a higher level than as a string of characters (there are packages for higher level handling, however)."
2012-07-13.txt:05:18:46: <pikhq> Sgeo_: Incidentally, all valid Tcl scripts are also valid Tcl lists.
2012-07-13.txt:05:20:30: <pikhq> Sgeo_: Tcl metaprogramming eventually gets kinda weird.
2012-07-13.txt:05:22:58: <Sgeo_> So why am I looking at Tcl? I think the whole starpack and Tk and event loop thing is drawing me in
2012-07-21.txt:05:38:56: <Sgeo_> Geez, I can't even write a simple Tcl script without encountering a bug which static typing would have caught
2012-07-21.txt:05:49:15: <Sgeo_> Tcl does seem nice for simple scripting
2012-07-21.txt:05:50:16: <Sgeo_> Is Tcl more consistent than Bash?
2012-07-21.txt:05:50:26: <pikhq_> Sgeo_: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/Tcl.htm says yes.
2012-07-21.txt:05:52:18: <Sgeo_> I think I'm falling back in love with Tcl
2012-07-22.txt:08:01:45: <Sgeo_> I find it remarkably easy to write one very trivial script in Tcl, and suddenly I like it?
2012-07-22.txt:08:45:18: <Sgeo_> "Don't give your wish scripts the same name as any of the widgets provided by Tk. It will cause problems with wish trying to apply options for those widgets to your program as a whole. Try the file name example.tcl."
2012-07-22.txt:09:58:31: <Sgeo_> Seeing Ruby's Fibers seemed cool. Then zzo38's thing for Haskell. Then Tcl.
2012-07-22.txt:21:57:55: <Sgeo_> Suddenly I'm slightly sad that Tcl doesn't have infinite-length strings
2012-07-22.txt:21:59:25: <Sgeo_> I still think that Tcl is interesting
2012-07-22.txt:22:01:54: <Sgeo_> I sort of like how Tcl, if someone wants to do byref stuff, requires explicitness on both sides
2012-07-22.txt:22:03:58: * Sgeo_ vaguely wonders if upvar has other uses in Tcl
2012-07-22.txt:22:07:32: <Sgeo_> On the other hand, calling such a function in Tcl is less syntactically ugly than in C#
2012-07-22.txt:22:10:03: <pikhq_> Sgeo_: upvar can seek up to an arbitrary point in the stack. With some nasty, nasty hacking you could get it so you could pretend to have dynamic scope in Tcl.
2012-07-22.txt:22:13:20: <pikhq_> Sgeo_: proc bar {set x foo; foo};proc foo {puts $x};bar in a dynamic-scoped Tcl would work.
2012-07-22.txt:22:21:44: <Sgeo_> The corresponding feature in Tcl is probably more frequently used
2012-07-22.txt:22:35:01: <Sgeo_> Tcl seems to be more introspectiony, I guess?
2012-07-23.txt:02:45:02: <Sgeo_> The Tcl solution to "I don't like global variables" seems to be namespaces
2012-07-23.txt:02:59:00: <Sgeo_> I'm wondering if Tcl's love of global variables in namespaces should be enough to keep me away or not
2012-07-23.txt:03:01:55: <Sgeo_> I wonder how easy/difficult it would be to do some sort of lens thing in Tcl
2012-07-24.txt:02:07:34: <Sgeo_> Eek, I think Tcl is making me think in terms of global variables more :/
2012-07-24.txt:03:27:11: <Sgeo_> Tcl's tracing lets you run code when a specified variable is read from or written to or unset
2012-07-24.txt:03:29:17: <Sgeo_> Or, well, some thingy like tcllib
2012-07-24.txt:06:39:07: <pikhq> Sgeo_: Basically, variable tracing in Tcl is on par with ptrace for Linux binaries. It'll work, but it's Nasty™.
2012-07-24.txt:12:22:57: <Sgeo_> `run tclsh
2012-07-29.txt:00:45:05: <Sgeo_> Annoying thing about Tcl: Libraries that use callbacks can take the callbacks in several different forms, some of which are harder to deal with than others
2012-07-29.txt:00:45:18: <Sgeo_> The irc package in tcllib takes scripts
2012-07-29.txt:05:03:06: <Sgeo_> The irc package in tcllib is disgustingly low-level
2012-07-29.txt:12:44:34: <Sgeo_> At least in TCL
2012-07-30.txt:09:26:23: * Sgeo__ vaguely wonders what metaprogramming is like in Lua compared to Tcl
2012-07-30.txt:10:25:10: <Sgeo__> I just helped someone in #tcl
2012-07-30.txt:14:30:10: <Sgeo__> I am beginning to hate the Tcl ecosystem
2012-07-30.txt:15:07:24: <Sgeo__> nortti, I was forced to use an obsolete tDOm because I couldn't get TclXml working with tclkit and I couldn't find a newish tdom.kit
2012-08-01.txt:14:14:58: * Sgeo ponders automatic resource management in Tcl
2012-08-01.txt:14:15:25: <Sgeo> Current opinion about suckiest thing in Tcl: The lack of said resource management.
2012-08-01.txt:21:08:32: <Sgeo> I should try writing a general using proc for Tcl
2012-08-01.txt:21:18:34: <Sgeo> Unlike many languages I look at, I actually wrote a program to do something useful in Tcl.
2012-08-02.txt:12:55:31: <Sgeo_> Whenever I look at Tcl, I keep thinking that I should be looking at Lisp
2012-08-02.txt:12:57:53: <Sgeo_> http://wiki.tcl.tk/13410
2012-08-02.txt:12:58:34: <Sgeo_> As interesting as most of that is, "OMG YOU DON'T NEED TO CALL ANY FUNCTIONS TO SERIALIZE TCL DATA STRUCTURES" is ... not at all impressive
2012-08-02.txt:13:03:27: <Sgeo_> Bash has arrays? Are they like Tcl's arrays?
2012-08-02.txt:13:03:46: <Sgeo_> You do need to call something to serialize Tcl's arrays since they're not first-class
2012-08-02.txt:13:04:30: <Sgeo_> Fine, here's a good difference between Bash and Tcl: Bash has ``, Tcl has []
2012-08-02.txt:19:26:59: <Sgeo_> shachaf, what's your opinion of Tcl?
2012-08-03.txt:02:16:17: <Sgeo_> Smalltalk and Tcl at least
2012-08-03.txt:02:16:28: <Sgeo_> Although the Tcl ones probably aren't well-maintained
2012-08-03.txt:12:07:26: <Sgeo__> TclTalk seems fun
2012-08-03.txt:12:16:20: <Sgeo__> Ugh, it uses a non-Tcl-standard way of initializing variables in namespaces
2012-08-03.txt:12:17:48: <Sgeo__> Bluh, the single-dispatchness of Tcl OO systems in general is striking me again
2012-08-03.txt:13:02:55: <Sgeo__> Just because I like TclTalk doesn't mean I should start looking at Smalltalk again, does it
2012-08-03.txt:13:19:37: <Sgeo__> Taneb, you should learn Tcl
2012-08-03.txt:13:20:26: <Sgeo__> http://www.tcl.tk/
2012-08-03.txt:14:53:24: <Sgeo__> I think I know how to give Tcl CL-style conditions.
2012-08-03.txt:18:11:02: <Sgeo__> Hmm, C can be compiled to LLVM, right? So Tcl?
2012-08-03.txt:18:12:03: <pikhq_> Sgeo__: There's already some work on Tcl in NaCl, BTW.
2012-08-03.txt:18:13:47: <Sgeo__> Tcl > Javascript?
2012-08-03.txt:20:30:00: <Sgeo__> pikhq, what do you think of this? (In #tcl person who'd rather see 8.6 released ASAP even if coredumps occur)
2012-08-03.txt:21:36:01: <Sgeo> So was thinking Tcl instead of Haskell
2012-08-03.txt:21:44:01: <Sgeo> And being told not to try using a seemingly useful Tcl command because it's likely to be buggy, and I might cause a core dump and if that happens, then they'll have to fix it which will delay release
