vi doesn't have a built-in psychiatrist.
<whiskas>
:-))
<__DL__>
Long live to emacs, you heretic
<systems>
thank God it doesnt
<whiskas>
No, but vim oughta have.
<Maddas>
ed! ed is the standard!
<ita>
Riastradh: but it'd be easy to add
<ita>
Riastradh: do you really need an irc client in your editor btw ?
<whiskas>
:-)))
<systems>
but the kind of person who would do it, would probably be using emacs
<Riastradh>
ita, of course I do.
<systems>
and needing a psychiatrist
<Riastradh>
But please, it's not an 'editor.'
<Riastradh>
It's an OS that uses libraries such as Linux to communicate with hardware.
<whiskas>
:-))))))
<ita>
vim really needs to be recoded (ever looked at its source code ?)
<systems>
it's a developement env/platform
<Maddas>
heh, Riastradh
<systems>
vim certainly dont need to be recoded, you just have to trust your feelings, that writing a text editor is boring, and thank God someone is doing it for free
rox has quit [Connection timed out]
* Maddas
just notices that it's "Riastradh" and not "Riadstrah"
<ita>
systems: yep .. however i can't do all i want with vim (embed it in other apps easily, etc)
<systems>
well, i dunno, about the embed part
<systems>
what does that involve
* whiskas
notes that real programmers use echo, cat, and sometimes, ed
Nomme has joined #ocaml
<Nomme>
hi
<whiskas>
Hello Nomme.
<systems>
let thinks outloud, vim be embeded in other program
<systems>
means vim must communicate with other programs
<ita>
yep
<systems>
vim produced output, you need to get this output in another program
<systems>
vim doesn allow that ?
<ita>
not really
<systems>
i dunno
<Maddas>
whiskas: "This page was brought to you by cat and ^D"
<systems>
not really how, like not always
<Riastradh>
There also isn't any HTCPCP code for vi.
<systems>
htcpcp ?
<systems>
define it please
<Riastradh>
HyperText Coffee Pot Control Protocol.
<Riastradh>
RFC 2324, I think.
<whiskas>
:-))
<systems>
bleh
<Maddas>
haha
<Nomme>
can somebody help me with camllex ?
<__DL__>
Nomme: well may be
<Nomme>
i try to delete comment while lexing with a rule like : ';'_*'\n'
<Nomme>
it's scheme's comment
mimosa has quit [Remote closed the connection]
<Nomme>
like in: "(define x 2); this is a comment\n"
mimosa has joined #ocaml
<__DL__>
_ mean any char, that is \n to
<__DL__>
lex (and ocaml lex) look for the longer match
<Nomme>
how can i do ?
<__DL__>
so ';'_*'\n' will contain everything but ther last line (and may be every thing)
<__DL__>
';' [ ^ '\n' ] \n should work
<__DL__>
(well, I not sure of the syntax, but I'm of the idea)
<ita>
unfortunately when i try "val priority_uop : unr_op -> int = <fun>" it won't work :-/
cjohnson has quit ["Drawn beyond the lines of reason"]
<ita>
it says syntax error on characters 0-3, any idea why ?

mr_jim has joined #ocaml
<reltuk>
someone in my programming languages class asked why we use ocaml, which looks like a horrible language to him, and then hailed C as his favorite...
<reltuk>
people are so closed minded...
<mr_jim>
he fears change.
<reltuk>
I suppose...he just comes off as ignorant
<Nutssh>
Its familiarity. People claim that CS is full of people who strive to use the most modern technology. Bullshit. Its one of the most backward-facing field I know. (Then again, its about the only one I know)
<mr_jim>
i just started a class that uses ocaml. It'll take some getting used too, but I like what I've seen so far.
<reltuk>
what school?
<mr_jim>
university of illinois
<reltuk>
yeah, same class
<reltuk>
how's it going?
<mr_jim>
haven't had any assignments yet
<reltuk>
yeah, mp1 will be easy...
<reltuk>
they'll ask us to write things like map and fold_right...
<mr_jim>
yeah
<reltuk>
What do you think of Rosu? It's his first year teaching it...I hope it goes well
<ita>
any idea of why ? "val priority_uop : unr_op -> int = <fun>" doesn't work and perhaps how to modify it ?
<mr_jim>
seems alright. my math TA last semester was russian, so I'm getting used to the accent
<mr_jim>
except when he starts mumbling
<reltuk>
heh, yeah...Beckmann was a good lecturer, I'll give him that
<reltuk>
ita: doesn't work as advertised, or what?
<ita>
reltuk: yes, it doesn't work
<mr_jim>
did beckmann graduate or something?
<reltuk>
he got picked up by IIT I think
<reltuk>
ita: just a second...
<reltuk>
what kind of results are you getting?
<ita>
it says syntax error on characters 0-3, any idea why ?
