Presbyteros: hello
<Presbyteros>
Hello, from Cornwall New York USA
<Presbyteros>
ejt: Give the queen a kiss on the cheek would you ?
<Presbyteros>
:P
<Presbyteros>
ejt: j/k
<Presbyteros>
</sarcasm>
Presbyteros is now known as UlsterScot
<UlsterScot>
ejt: How's the weather on that side of the pond ?
* UlsterScot
makes pointless extraneous small talk
<ejt>
been very hot the last 2 weeks (25-30 C)
<ejt>
there's not a lot happening on this channel this morning is there ;)
<UlsterScot>
ejt: Yes, it's kind of warm here as well
<UlsterScot>
ejt: ""Everything great and intelligent is in the minority" -- Von Goethe
<UlsterScot>
ejt: So, yeah that is why it's quite and not popular here
<ejt>
maybe :)
<UlsterScot>
ejt: Brits (I'm a Brit btw) have a tendency towards pragmatic industrial type things and Ocaml is an "academic" type of language. Industrial: ABAP | Ada | AWK | Assembly | C | C++ | C# | COBOL | Delphi | Erlang | Fortran | Java | JavaScript | Lisp | Objective-C | Perl |PHP | PL/SQL | Python | SAS | sh | Visual Basic | VB.NET

ejt: It's not industrial language
<ejt>
I don't thin I agree
<UlsterScot>
*an industrial language rather
<ejt>
it's very pragmatic
<UlsterScot>
ejt: Well, yeah , true because ocaml is the only ML type of language that supports imperative type programming
<ejt>
exactly
<UlsterScot>
ejt: I agree but not necessarily "industrial"
<ejt>
I've only used ocaml on one project at work
<ejt>
and it was a big win over C++
<UlsterScot>
interesting
<UlsterScot>
ejt: I'm into it because ML type lambda calculus since I'm into physics etc..
<ejt>
I started with Haskell, but dropped back to ocaml because I needed a more practical laguage
<UlsterScot>
ejt: Mary Queen of Scots was half French. "Auld" alliance , eh ?. I'm Part French Huguenot.
<UlsterScot>
:P
<UlsterScot>
ejt: the genuine Scotch-Irishman is at bottom a lowland Scot, with an admixture of the bluff and sturdy qualities of the English Puritan, and a dash of the genius, grace and humor of the French Huguenot. This makes a remarkable combination of qualities, and we find them blended and balanced in the typical Scotch-Irishman. There is in him the steadfastness, not to say, stubbornness, of the Scot; the rugged strength and aggressive force
<UlsterScot>
ejt: There you go... I'm part French
<UlsterScot>
ejt: Alsace-Lorraine
<ejt>
and the 'Ulster' part ?
<UlsterScot>
ejt: Not used for geographic location just I think there might be an ethnic difference between Scots in Scotland and Ulster Scots
<UlsterScot>
ejt: I don't think we're the "same" anymore
<UlsterScot>
ejt: I'm butchering the English language this morning because I just woke up (groggy) and I unwittingly consumed a somewhat large portion of high fructose corn syrup.
<UlsterScot>
ejt: Believe it or not high fructose corn syrup temporarily drops ones IQ untill ones body is finished processing it.

* UlsterScot
excuses himself to eat a bowl of oatmeal.
<UlsterScot>
ejt: Much more stable
* ejt
shakes his head
<UlsterScot>
ejt: Actually, interestingly enough MIT did a study proving the high fructose corn syrup and temporary IQ drop correllation.
<UlsterScot>
ejt: Seriously, however, I'm horribly off topic.
<UlsterScot>
ejt: The topic is caml/ocaml of course.
<ejt>
I believe the IQ drop thing
<ejt>
is anyone here doing the ICFP contest ?
<Herrchen>
I want to
<UlsterScot>
Last year it ended on June 7th when does it end this year ? URL perhaps ?
<ejt>
