01:46 <Mongo> is it possible to half-implement a module interface? ie, fun B depends upon fun A, which is different in different module implementations. However, since B is unchanging, and depends upon A, and so should be identical between implementations of this module interface.

01:46 <Mongo> I guess I'm trying to map OOP semantics of partially-implemented abstract classes, onto the module system of ocaml, without using Ocaml's OOP (I haven't invested the time to learn it, and it'd likely cause a redesign of my existing module-based system)

09:19 <smkl> MongoMike: in the general case implementing class like stuff with modules requires mixins, which are still not implemented in ocaml

09:22 <smkl> but you can do some stuff with functors and "include": module B (A:A_INTF) = struct include A let b = ... end

11:48 <xtrm> Hello World\n

11:49 <monkeyiq> as far as lablgtk goes, is it still very much alpha?

11:49 <monkeyiq> ../src/lablgtktop -w s -I ../src scrolledwin.ml

11:49 <monkeyiq> doesn't seem very interactive here

11:53 <smkl> monkeyiq: there is something wrong with the toplevel

11:55 <monkeyiq> smkl: ok. I am building a spec file for it as an aside, and I had a issue with png.h versioning. I am remaking the rpm now and will see if its better installed.

12:07 <monkeyiq> well, time to email in the specs/rpms then.

12:07 <xtrm> hi smkl !

12:07 <smkl> hello xtrm

12:08 <xtrm> ocamlsdl-0.5 is out

12:09 <xtrm> i released it on friday, just added some patchs and one example

12:09 <xtrm> sven luther and jerome marrant want to add it in debian system.

12:12 <smkl> about TTF_RenderText_Shaded, i think there should be two different functions, one for shaded and one for fast

12:14 <xtrm> yes i thought about it, i will do an enumeration of all the unimplemented functions of SDL, SDL_ttf, image and mixer...

12:15 <xtrm> and adding a todo list per module

12:16 <smkl> monkeyiq: at least on my system, lablgtk and lablgl won't work together

12:17 <monkeyiq> hmm, seems the ocaml guys are not really into spec files and rpms :(

12:17 <monkeyiq> smkl: well I used the GL option for lablgtk, and get mixed results with the GL examples in lablgtk

12:17 <monkeyiq> smkl: most work though

12:18 <xtrm> smkl: we must use the famous "release early, release often"

12:18 <monkeyiq> gears is static, it seems the scrollbars dont work really well with my lablgtk

12:19 <monkeyiq> though I think I need to play with it more and checkout what XML and 3d object libs I can interface with first.

16:09 <Mongo_> How does one perform string quality in ocaml?

16:09 <Mongo_> "Malden" == "Malden", compared as a == b, is returning false

16:11 <smkl> never use ==, use = and <> for inequality

16:12 <Mongo_> Ah, thanks. = is what I was looking for.

16:13 <Mongo_> Yay. The graph traversal program works now.

16:14 <Mongo_> I really like the fact that if your OCaml program compiles, you have a very good chance of it working out-of-the-box.
