00:16:24 ##forth <vms14> Zarutian_iPad didn't you like tcl?
00:16:36 ##forth <vms14> weren't you going to make a tcl implementation in lua?
00:17:25 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> I like tcl but I think that project fell off the list if it was ever there
00:17:31 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> why fo you ask?
00:17:39 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> do*
00:17:52 ##forth <xentrac> eew
00:18:06 ##forth <vms14> cause I was exploring tcl and saw you
00:18:07 ##forth <vms14> https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Zarutian
00:18:45 ##forth <vms14> and I thought, no other zarutian will ever exist
00:18:54 ##forth <vms14> what is a zarutian anyways
00:18:55 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> oh, yeah I was involved way back but I havent checked out tcl in a long while now
00:19:10 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> this nick handle of mine
00:19:15 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> that is it
00:21:17 ##forth <xentrac> oh, I didn't remember that you were into flow-based programming, if I ever knew
00:21:30 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> the _iPad part is just because I am using webchat.libra.chat on an iPad
00:21:39 ##forth <xentrac> condolences
00:23:03 ##forth <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
00:23:18 ##forth <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
00:24:00 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> naah, I just havent been bothered to set up an irc client on my laptop yet
00:24:43 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> and I used to have one on my smartphone too but the battery on that one crapped out
00:25:37 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> currently on this ipad I just have two safari windows open in split view
00:26:24 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> xentrac: spritely.institute is keeping on the work of E
00:26:31 ##forth <xentrac> I know
00:27:03 ##forth <xentrac> you may have forgotten I used to be on #erights (##erights?)
00:27:31 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> so, using an ipad I inherited for keeping precense here is better than nothing
00:27:56 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> forgotten or paged it out into more longer term storage
00:28:43 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> you know, down in the basement beside the wc room that has "Beware of the leopard" kind of storage
00:30:55 ##forth <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
00:33:19 ##forth <Zarutian_iPad> xentrac: so, what is your opinion on spritely and agoric?
00:56:59 ##forth <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
00:57:17 ##forth <xentrac> but I haven't actually tried doing anything with either one
