2025-01-25 00:16:24 <vms14       > Zarutian_iPad didn't you like tcl?
2025-01-25 00:16:36 <vms14       > weren't you going to make a tcl implementation in lua?
2025-01-25 00:17:25 <Zarutian_iPad> I like tcl but I think that project fell off the list if it was ever there
2025-01-25 00:17:31 <Zarutian_iPad> why fo you ask?
2025-01-25 00:17:39 <Zarutian_iPad> do*
2025-01-25 00:17:52 <xentrac     > eew
2025-01-25 00:18:06 <vms14       > cause I was exploring tcl and saw you
2025-01-25 00:18:07 <vms14       > https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Zarutian
2025-01-25 00:18:45 <vms14       > and I thought, no other zarutian will ever exist
2025-01-25 00:18:54 <vms14       > what is a zarutian anyways
2025-01-25 00:18:55 <Zarutian_iPad> oh, yeah I was involved way back but I havent checked out tcl in a long while now
2025-01-25 00:19:10 <Zarutian_iPad> this nick handle of mine
2025-01-25 00:19:15 <Zarutian_iPad> that is it
2025-01-25 00:21:17 <xentrac     > oh, I didn't remember that you were into flow-based programming, if I ever knew
2025-01-25 00:21:30 <Zarutian_iPad> the _iPad part is just because I am using webchat.libra.chat on an iPad
2025-01-25 00:21:39 <xentrac     > condolences
2025-01-25 00:23:03 <xentrac     > sharecropping Apple's plantation is kind of the diametrical opposite of the society of independent, secure computer systems freely associating that E was designed for
2025-01-25 00:23:18 <Zarutian_iPad> yeah flow based programming looks to me the only sane way to do multi processor programming and make it somewhat understandable to non programer or non specialists
2025-01-25 00:24:00 <Zarutian_iPad> naah, I just havent been bothered to set up an irc client on my laptop yet
2025-01-25 00:24:43 <Zarutian_iPad> and I used to have one on my smartphone too but the battery on that one crapped out
2025-01-25 00:25:37 <Zarutian_iPad> currently on this ipad I just have two safari windows open in split view
2025-01-25 00:26:24 <Zarutian_iPad> xentrac: spritely.institute is keeping on the work of E
2025-01-25 00:26:31 <xentrac     > I know
2025-01-25 00:27:03 <xentrac     > you may have forgotten I used to be on #erights (##erights?)
2025-01-25 00:27:31 <Zarutian_iPad> so, using an ipad I inherited for keeping precense here is better than nothing
2025-01-25 00:27:56 <Zarutian_iPad> forgotten or paged it out into more longer term storage
2025-01-25 00:28:43 <Zarutian_iPad> you know, down in the basement beside the wc room that has "Beware of the leopard" kind of storage
2025-01-25 00:30:55 <Zarutian_iPad> so, now a days I am most involved in that fpga impl of uFork as I view most of current compiting substrate not worth of high trust
2025-01-25 00:33:19 <Zarutian_iPad> xentrac: so, what is your opinion on spritely and agoric?
2025-01-25 00:56:59 <xentrac     > Zarutian_iPad: both Spritely Goblins and the Agoric platform sound awesome in the abstract, and MarkM, Dean, Warner, Dan Connolly, and Chris Hibbert are all very accomplished and smart people
2025-01-25 00:57:17 <xentrac     > but I haven't actually tried doing anything with either one
