<Smerdyakov>
So typical of Caml people to make it unclear how people outside the inner circle can contribute. ;)
<Nutssh>
Smerdyakov, it worked. Wish there was an ocamlton, then I might not have had to.
<Guilmon>
Smerdyakov: maybe you could write a swig-mlton and Hirabayashi-san could write bindings to your precious mlton
<Smerdyakov>
Guilmon, maybe I can ignore anyone who uses inappropriate "-san"'s.
<Guilmon>
Smerdyakov: maybe I just need to stop talking to you.
<Guilmon>
Smerdyakov: and maybe you need to stop sounding offensive.
<Smerdyakov>
Guilmon, sorry. The thing is that you are in here basically acting as a non-stop advertisement for Widestudio.
<Guilmon>
Smerdyakov: I'm excited.
<Smerdyakov>
Guilmon, you just repeat over and over how great Widestudio is... hardly anything you say is specific to ML. We could substitue another language name for every occurrence of OCaml, and what you say would still make sense.
<monochrom>
Do I get to advertise Haskell? Please? :)
<Guilmon>
Smerdyakov: He was having trouble getting a couple classes to work with ocaml which were needed
<Guilmon>
Smerdyakov: only if you stop advertising mlton like its the cup of christ
<Smerdyakov>
Guilmon, I don't care. We have certain unofficial standards of how to act here, and I believe you are basically "spamming" the channel without saying anything new each time.
<Smerdyakov>
Guilmon, I bring up MLton in particular situations where I can show how it would help someone with a problem he has mentioned.
<Guilmon>
Smerdyakov: and you are not, how subliminal.
<Guilmon>
Smerdyakov: no, you bring up mlton every chance you get.
<Smerdyakov>
Guilmon, you act like an auto-join bot that starts talking to itself about WS every time it joins.
<Guilmon>
Smerdyakov: maybe you should leave, you are the one abusing the rules and the people.
<Guilmon>
Smerdyakov: *plonk*
<monochrom>
Guilmon: *plonk*
<Guilmon>
monochrom: *plonk*
<Guilmon>
oh the ocaml site looks decent now. The logos look SOOO good.
<Smerdyakov>
Does anyone else find Guilmon's pattern of spending 10 lines in a row talking about WS and its internal issues to be out of place and bothersome?
<monochrom>
I think I've indicated my stand on this.
<Smerdyakov>
monochrom, what was your stand?
<monochrom>
On efnet #math there is a guy who says "files on math science religion are found at <his homepage url>" every week.
<monochrom>
Most often he does so unsolicitedly.
<monochrom>
We the ops there are on the blink of perm-banning him.
<monochrom>
You see we grow tired of such advocations, even if it's just once a week, even if it's just one line.
<Smerdyakov>
It's also largely unrelated to the channel subject.
<Smerdyakov>
Guilmon, I'd like to see you find a time when I mentioned MLton other than in response to someone's problem with OCaml.

mlton seems unactive as well.
<Smerdyakov>
What does that mean?
ulfdoz has quit [Read error: 145 (Connection timed out)]
<humasect>
its face value
<Smerdyakov>
How can a piece of software be "unactive"?
<humasect>
it's associated maintainers can
<humasect>
present it in such a state
<Smerdyakov>
What makes you say that? It's one of the most actively developed compilers I've ever known.
<humasect>
really.
<humasect>
2004x is the last public release, what am i missing?
<Smerdyakov>
They release twice a year.
<humasect>
ah
<monochrom>
It would be odd for a compiler project to release more often than that.
<humasect>
mmhmm
<monochrom>
MLton has been developed for a long time. I think I saw it 7 years go. Given that it's spec, Standard ML, doesn't change, there is not much to add after so many years.
<monochrom>
Bazaar zealots call it "unactive". I call it "mature", "ready".
<monochrom>
s/it's/its/
<Smerdyakov>
monochrom, who calls it "unactive"? Again, it is developed CONSTANTLY.
<monochrom>
A Bazaar zealot calls a project "inactive" iff it is not released weekly.
<Smerdyakov>
OK. So you didn't mean "mature" as a euphemism for "stagnant"?
<monochrom>
No, of course not. I think lowly of Bazaar zealots.
<monochrom>
I consider their "active" to be euphemism for "unstable", to put it mildly.
<monochrom>
My opinion may be extremist for general cases. But for compilers I think everyone agrees that it would be an annoyance if you needed to upgrade every season.
<Smerdyakov>
Well, that would only be annoying if you're not using a good package system.
<monochrom>
That's probably uneventful if the upgrade doesn't break binary compatibility.
<Smerdyakov>
I guess that could get painful. Theoretically, clever Debian packages could handle that automatically, but probably not. ;)
<Smerdyakov>
Binary compatibility isn't a big issue with MLton, as a whole-program compiler.
<humasect>
hm =)
<humasect>
what would this mean: "However MLton cannot verify that your ML programs are correct, so you will problably need MLKit for this :)"
<monochrom>
Does MLKit verify programs?
<humasect>
pehdaps.
<humasect>
*perhaps.
<monochrom>
I suppose you don't have to worry about that sentence. It states a well-known tautology of little consequence.
<humasect>
