| snail | chilts: looking at it, the biggest obstacle to me using the go language is lack of an XML toolchain | 02:27 |
|---|---|---|
| ojwb | ooh, that sounds like a nice feature! | 02:28 |
| ibeardslee | why do people need something other than perl? | 02:30 |
| ojwb | envy? | 02:32 |
| ajmitch | the ability to read the source in 6 months time? | 02:33 |
| ojwb | if people only used perl, I'd only get to leave the house once a month | 02:33 |
| ajmitch | for the monthly perl UG meeting? :) | 02:33 |
| chilts | ibeardslee: because Go and NodeJS and other things let you think in different ways :) | 02:34 |
| ojwb | yeah | 02:34 |
| chilts | snail: yeah, good call ... I guess one may come along at some stage :) | 02:34 |
| ojwb | ajmitch: really one can write impenetrable code in any language - perl just offers more assistance then some | 02:34 |
| chilts | I wanted to try Erlang a few years ago but didn't ... NodeJS and Go are my new pet languages :D | 02:34 |
| * ajmitch has seen some hairy python code | 02:34 | |
| chilts | well, moreso Go 'coz I kinda know JavaScript already | 02:35 |
| chilts | heh, "offers more assistance" :) | 02:35 |
| ajmitch | it's like giving you more rope to hang yourself with | 02:35 |
| ojwb | exhibit a: http://survex.com/~olly/rheolism.html | 02:35 |
| ajmitch | so evil it's beautiful | 02:36 |
| chilts | hmm, meeting time, back later | 02:36 |
| * ojwb actually managed to save a byte and fix the known bug in the process not long ago | 02:37 | |
| chilts | olly: you wrote that enhanced version? | 02:37 |
| chilts | heh | 02:37 |
| ojwb | yeah | 02:37 |
| chilts | right, I see, you're crazy! :D | 02:37 |
| * ojwb was peripherally involved in the original too | 02:37 | |
| chilts | and a little funny (though that might be the same thing) | 02:37 |
| chilts | 10 people on the list now :) | 02:46 |
| * snail has a itch to write a javascript BBC BASIC V emulator so he can play that game, but decides not to scratch it | 02:48 | |
| snail | scratches https://github.com/stuartyeates/strawperson instead | 02:50 |
| ojwb | snail: yes, I've had that itch too | 03:15 |
| ojwb | a few quirks of the BBC BASIC implementation are exploited, which makes it a little trickier | 03:16 |
| ojwb | like s=s+1 working even when s doesn't previously exist and IF0ELSE to unbranch | 03:17 |
| snail | ojwb: what you mean is that you have pre-supplied test-cases for your project? | 03:52 |
| snail | so the government have launched a website (http://www.ict.govt.nz/ ) to launch a strategy which seems to include the 'fewer websites' policy... | 03:54 |
| ibeardslee | morning | 20:01 |

| snail | morning | 20:41 |
| Atamira | morning | 20:52 |
| ajmitch | is it time to go home yet? | 20:56 |
| Atamira | soon | 20:59 |
| Atamira | the day will be over before you realise it | 20:59 |
| ajmitch | it will if I fall asleep at my desk | 20:59 |
| ibeardslee | consider wrapping a towel around your head now | 21:01 |
| ibeardslee | it'll save the key imprints on the forehead later | 21:02 |
| Atamira | i normally push the kb out of the way so i have nice smooth desk to snooze on | 21:09 |
| ibeardslee | not pushing yourself hard enough if you have time to do that! ;) | 21:11 |
| Atamira | lol | 21:15 |
| thumper | morning | 21:15 |
| Atamira | i dont want imprints on my fce | 21:15 |
| Atamira | face | 21:15 |
| Atamira | and whole lines of blank spaces on whatever im doing | 21:15 |
| chilts | morning | 21:41 |
| * chilts waits for Atamira to post 'zzz z z xx zaskjfha sd zzzzzzz' | 21:41 | |
| Atamira | LOL | 21:42 |
| mwhudson | morning | 21:42 |
| snail | what you need is a videoconference software plugin that detects when you've fallen asleep and mutes the audio/video | 21:43 |
| hads | Neat just found a bug in nicegear that's never been discovered, searching for "and" or "or" by themselves breaks. | 22:51 |
| chilts | that's quite interesting | 23:10 |
| chilts | what about 'and or or'? :) | 23:10 |
