@SilasPoulson If it works in the terminal but not in RIDE the rendering must be the issue, you could look at the RIDE notifications to see if ⎕SM is coming through at all.

Ah, I see. Found it in the docs should be able to figure it out from here

What are those?

@Adám I remember you demo-ing a way to customize the REPL, how would I go about implementing a post-execution function along those lines

It's written in a minimal flavour of C called C--

@xpqz The encoding of this interpreter is nice to look at :)

gist.github.com/finooiigee/c5c9dea7df0dfaaea30df4ea1974ae9a

I need more sugar, one second

(⌊(2*-⍺)∘×)⍢((2⍴⍨≢⍵)∘⊥)

It is not in any APL

fair enough :)

aha

@Adám Depends what you mean. It wouldn't need a non RTL ordering

             :If 'Linux'≡(⊃# ⎕WG'APLVersion')~'-64'
             :AndIf ~0∊⍴⎕CMD'which git'
             :OrIf 'Windows'≡(⊃# ⎕WG'APLVersion')~'-64'
             :AndIf ~0∊⍴⎕CMD'where git'

How would write

I suppose it can't know where you want to put the conditional statement, after the the first or second AndIf

thanks

Is :AndIf short-circuiting

@B.Wilson Sometimes logic is inevitable :) It would be nice if APL had more lispy constructs thoguh

:Else -> :ElseIf cond2

Is there a neater way to do

:If cond
  :Trap 0
     ⍝ dangerous expression
  :Else
    doThis
  :EndTrap
:Else
  doThis
:EndIf

Richard did a great job on ⎕R :)

sure

Updated my interpreter, I'll see if that resolves it. (It's already resolved a bunch of stuff, RIDE was fairly broken on my system previously)

No, I'll submit an issue if I can

And on disc the source is as typed

My only issue with it so far is that for mysterious reasons sometimes when I edit functions after I've created them they lose their formatting

LINK is pretty nice, I should've tried it earlier

Yes empties are very nice for avoiding conditional logic

I believe that is a logged issue

⎕R is one of my favourites

@Adám We should have a meeting about RIDE soon

Adám does a lot of work on the user commands/tools side of things, he's also the top source for language design. He has his fingers in a lot of pies

Is there a way to do a TAO comparison without grading?

I hadn't thought about it much yet, but if I have some interesting ideas I'll message you :)

The APL bookworms was a good idea, I have so many interesting APL books, I should be better read

@pmikkelsen Me too :)

With virtualization, a RIDE protocol file structure and some improvements to the netsurf fork it should be viable.

Ping me if you make progress :)

Some Dyalog-ers are trying to get the RIDE protocol on plan9, a few of us would like to use it for our jobs. It will likely never run natively and virtualization is hit or miss.

FYI - problems.tryapl.org and tacit.help, aswell as some other sites will be down for a while for server migration

@Adám Ah, cool

Maybe it should be documented that names referenced in assignment will be unaltered if the assignment fails

@LdBeth It does work, can't remember if the installer lets you install the IME but not the interpreter, though.

Wow that's ugly :)

It would be nice to have the grammar documented

The syntax for the LHS is finicky, it would've taken me a few guesses
