@Downgoat so why don't I have the strict typing? :/

Downgoat

12:13 AM

idk

try rebuilding'

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

dude

Downgoat

can you show me exactly what youre running to build/run

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Downgoat

and to run?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

erm

12:27 AM

I got the usual error for windows, but it seems successful.

@Downgoat It works now! :D

wait

maybe no

@Downgoat I still have problems

bf.cdr:

var arr = [];
var a = "";
var lines = "";
print lines;
var line = "";
while(line = IO.prompt("")){
    lines += line + "\n";
}
print line;

Downgoat

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ wat

Such wat

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

can you replicate?

Downgoat

._.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ idk willl try rn

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

ok

Downgoat

._. weird

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:37 AM

so you can repro?

Downgoat

cheddar doesn't have while loops atm

the real bug is that error pointers are messed up

Syntax Error: Unexpected token at 6:28
2 | var a = "";
3 | var lines = "";
  |  ^

> 6:28

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

3.14 * 2

Downgoat

it's showing the pointer at 3:2

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

does cheddar have for loops?

Downgoat

yes of course

brb

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:39 AM

I'll use a for loop for now :P

Downgoat

for loop is best loop

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

var arr = [];
var a = "";
var lines = "";
for(var line = ""; line = IO.prompt(""); lines += line + "\n");
print lines;

λ node dist\cli\cheddar.js < bf.cdr
Syntax Error: Unexpected token at 4:10
2 | var a = "";
3 | var lines = "";
  |  ^

what did I do wrong

oh

Downgoat

you need {} in the foor loop

don't support expressions yet brb

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

var arr = [];
var a = "";
var lines = "";
for(var line = ""; line = IO.prompt(""); lines += line + "\n"){}
print lines;

prints infinitely :p

Downgoat

I believe IO.prompt() will return the newline too

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:42 AM

nope

Downgoat

oh wait no it doesn't

wat

.______.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

:/

Downgoat

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ works for me in repl at least

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Downgoat I'm piping it

or whatever < is called

works in repl for me too.

Downgoat

hm... IO.prompt() might be borked with full programs

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:43 AM

perhaps

can I read from a file yet?

Downgoat

$ prog < bf.cdr

""
$ prog < bf.cdr
goat
""

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

wat

Downgoat

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ idk what the function to read from file should be called is the problem

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ bf.cdr is:

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Downgoat read

Downgoat

var a: String = IO.prompt("");
print repr a;

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ that's for reading a byte stream

im planning for osmetiing like:

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:45 AM

@Downgoat readFile

Downgoat

i don't like camel case :|

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

you don't??

@Downgoat gives infinite loop for me, printing.. spaces?

Downgoat

PascalCase is best case

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

e_e

Downgoat

;_; y u haet pascal case

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:47 AM

we both can agree that snake_case_is_terrible

Downgoat

brb with readfile

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ aaahhhhhhh. yes

considering how terrible snake case is it's no surprise python users use it :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

pascal case is good for classes

Downgoat

yes

how about readf

or readfile

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

fread

:P

Downgoat

is that a serious suggestion?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:48 AM

semi serious

Downgoat

should IO.readFile be syncronous or async?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

in The Nineteenth Byte, 32 secs ago, by Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

To read or not to read a file {poll}

@Downgoat sync

Downgoat

ok

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

or have both

OR

have a function called fn.async(func, callback), which calls callback when func is done

Downgoat

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ how would that work? ._.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:55 AM

fn.async (f, callback) {
    f();
    callback();
}

idk

maybe just define an async version of functions and have fn.async call that?

IO.readFile.async

Downgoat

how about just IO.async.read

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ that works too.... hmmm

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I like that better, because it allows the more universal definition as a property rather than a method of a certain class

so fn.async(f) <=> f.async ? f.async : error

it's rather elegant

Downgoat

ok

will do that way brb

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

kk

Downgoat

I could have fs.async without f.async

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:02 AM

how do I get a property of something with the API?

@Downgoat ?

Downgoat

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ var res = foo.accessor("propname"). if res is string or null it has errored. then use res.Value to get the Cheddar object

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Downgoat capital v value?

Downgoat

yes

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

why ._. when its lowercase v value elsewhere

Downgoat

.accessor returns a CheddarVariable object which stores information on whether it's a constant, the type it's supposed to be, etc. inside of that CheddarVariable is the actual value.

.Value is for CheddarVariables .value is for cheddar objects

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:04 AM

ok

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

Why define async

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

?

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

isn't it just run async, pass return values to callback

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

isn't what?

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

so the user doesn't have to do anything

running any function asynchronously

Wait my bad, that's what you're saying right?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:12 AM

no

I don't know what you're saying

that might be what I'm saying if I understand you correctly

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ like this, just callback(f());

If you actually

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@MᴀʀsUʟᴛᴏʀ well, f might be a function that rouns async, so it doesn't have a return value...

but idk

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

If you want to do it like node, use a try catch and return error as first arg to CB on catch, else null as first argument signifying no error

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I personally hate async, but I feel that it's necessary on some level

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

Especially for node

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:15 AM

yeah

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ why do you hate it

It's vital for many things

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

not saying it isn't

just that

reading a file should be sync by default.

that's all I'm saying >_<

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

Not for node

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

but that's because node is javascript. we can make the language so that many tasks that are async in node sync

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

Node is intended primarily for servers

so blocking is bad

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:17 AM

oh? ^^

I see

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

If you want non-server, use spidermonkey or something

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

naw, node is more universal

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

I think the reason people use node is because it's pretty much the only engine that has module support

plus there are already plenty of modules to do anything you need

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

^

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

What is with mobile chat? :(

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:22 AM

my module is gud :3

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

For example about the async stuff C# has async versions instead of sync ones

I.e. C# is synchronous by default

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

+1

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ why does your I/o module have a log function

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@MᴀʀsUʟᴛᴏʀ because process.STDOUT.print is verbose

or whatever the command is

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ console.log

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:26 AM

@MᴀʀsUʟᴛᴏʀ that has a newline at the end.

rw.log doesn't.

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

right

Which I alias to print

but it has no place in an io module

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

sure it does

io = input output

rw.log = output

Downgoat

^^^

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

well, yours is file io

its called read write

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@MᴀʀsUʟᴛᴏʀ is it?

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

1:28 AM

wait

idek

If you want to do command line io

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

it's beautifully vague

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

do you have an input function

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I don't think that's possible.

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

why not?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

you need to do some trickery with process.on("data") and stuff

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

1:29 AM

Yeah

not hard

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I might do it in a future update

@Downgoat ???

Downgoat

nvm i have no idea what is being discussed

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

no, I just don't know what that is

Downgoat

6:06 PM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ it's like Cheddar's IO.prompt()

though it doesn't work with REPLs

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

11:48 PM

@Downgoat how do I update again?

Downgoat

npm install -g cheddar-lang

4

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

that doesn't work if I'm dev'ing my own branch :/

Downgoat

git fetch origin && git merge origin/develop

make sure you are on the branch that you want to merge into

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

idea: string.charmap(function)

okay go to src/stdlib/stdlib.es6

you're going to see like:

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

11:53 PM

yeah?

Downgoat

that means there's a conflict. You made some changes and I made some changes so git doesn't know who's changes to use

code is probably your code and more code is probably my code

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

okay

where can I find your version?

Downgoat

you need to remove the >>> somethings and merge my code and your code

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

another idea: recursive replace
