#guix #scheme #guile people.

I've done "guix install guile-netlink"

and inside ~/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/3.0 I see ip/ and netlink/

then in guile I do (add-to-load-path "~/.guix-profile...")

and now
(use-modules (ip))

and it says "no code for module (ip)"

what am I doing wrong?

#guile #scheme

i'm amazed that getopt-long doesn't handle description strings. it means you have to write out your useage/help manually instead of generating it from your command-line options...

EDIT: i hurt my head trying to modify it to accept them. modifying it was easy: just add another slot to the record. the hard bit was using my modified version, or wrapping the original somehow. headaches for something so simple...

Introducing Veritas v0.0.20: my new Lisp-powered (Guile Scheme) testing framework!

https://codeberg.org/jjba23/veritas

Born from my engineering experience and frustrations, I aim for incredible expressiveness. It is currently super early stages, also eager for other people to pitch in ideas before fully stabilizing the API. I also want to add many more capabilities for integration tests, containers and more.

Recently, I've received my first donation from @nlnet for suitbl, an interactive testing library for Scheme.

Their support allows me to allocate a lot of time to the development of the library. I still need to finish a few more parts before I can recommend it for adoption, but you already can take a sneak peek at the library & its usage here:

Kudos to @nlnet for backing great FOSS projects in general and me in particular :D

#guile #scheme

man, guile scheme has no nil punning, i'm gonna cry.

#f, '(), and #nil are all not equal to the others. surely that means i'm gonna have bugs where i think i have one of those but actually i have the other and it breaks. why make things difficult for mere mortals?

- Did you know that Guile's metacommands are comming to Arei soon?
- That we already have an incredibly useful guile stack traces viewer?
- That Ares now works with stable version of Guile and doesn't require guile-next?

No? We got you covered:

I am currently looking for a #job . I am an experienced (senior) software developer/engineer with 7y of experience. If someone is looking for a capable software engineer or knows someone looking for engineers, please let me know.

I do #python #scheme #django #docker and aim for reproducible software. I learned some #devops and #ansible and can manage servers. Used to do #fullstack dev work, before everything needed to be an SPA.

I am looking for #remote work or work in #berlin or #potsdam .

#guile #scheme

i'm trying to try out guile, which i know nothing about, for some small scripting.

does it have a nice way to print tabular output in the terminal? (like common lisp's https://github.com/vindarel/cl-ansi-term)

Anyone seen an #ActivityPub library written in #Scheme (any flavor) or #Smalltalk ?

I'm not finding any sign of either.

Just announced! Guixotic: a worker #Cooperative specializing in #GNU #Guix and #Guile #Scheme https://guixotic.coop/

I learned #scheme back in 1994 or so, at Iowa State University, where the CS dept was very progressive and theory rich. Used it a bit after, and I remember when #guile got adopted as a GNU scripting language around 1998 or something. Now 25+ years later #GUIX is pretty sweet, and I see guile has a byte code compiler and templating JIT. So guile is dramatically more capable than something like bash. The future is now!

Did you notice, that Guile moved to Codeberg?

Frustrated that Scheme can't serialize hashtables. I normally just use hashtable->alist, alist->hashtable functions to deal with it, but I'm feeling too lazy for that.

So I write a new data type, that'll serialize well (R6RS records with "nongenerative" do so as #[key data...])

But now I'm stuck in a mire of writing data type, unit tests, debugging… and I should crack open Sedgewick or something to figure out if I'm doing it right. What happened to being lazy‽
#scheme

An interesting remark in Josep Bigorra's post on why Scheme can be used for production work:

There’s only one truly universal ecosystem: the C ecosystem. Dynamic language modules are often just bindings to existing C libraries.

Just a heads up on these aggregators of Lisp blogs. If you have a blog that meets the requirements I encourage you to submit it.

With the idea of promoting the usage of #guix and my favourite #programming language #guile #scheme I created a small project which is still in early stages, but I think with some more #love and #effort can be quite something.

The Guile ShowHub! Promoting all Guile projects out there! By reading from #foss Guix project source code we can tap into a plethora of information, and leverage the #homoiconicity of #lisp to directly analyze the source code and extract info.
