10:14 <antonym> hi, we're looking at starting a project with OCaml. Should we use the revised syntax or the original syntax? (At this stage we're not planning on using ocamlp4 to extend things.)

10:25 <mellum> antonym: not a lot of people seem to be using the revised syntax... there's not that much to gain, and some things are even clumsier, especially imperative code

10:32 <antonym> mellum: right, ok - thanks. We'll probably need to write some parsing code, so are there any issues there? It seems ocaml lex/yacc are ok with 'traditional' syntax?

10:32 <mellum> antonym: I don't know, but I guess so

10:32 <mellum> In any case, it shouldn't be too hard to convert between the two syntaxes

10:33 <antonym> mkay, I'd rather avoid that if it can be avoided, obviously!

19:03 <pattern> my home machine is an amd64 system, but i'd like to cross-compile for x86

19:03 <pattern> is that possible?

19:04 <smimou> not easily at least

19:04 <smimou> I guess that the easiest way is to install a 32bit chroot

19:05 <pattern> yeah, i was afraid of that

19:07 <pattern> thanks, smimou

19:07 <smimou> well, I didn't help that much :/

19:12 <pattern> still, i appreciate it
