anyone up
<Chea_544>
trying to build an app here but i need some help here
<Smerdyakov>
Never ask to ask. Just ask.
<Chea_544>
its good to know someones there so atleast you can hope for an anwser :P
<Smerdyakov>
No, you just piss people off and make it less likely that they will answer.
<Chea_544>
Smerdyakov: ok i am trying to build an Instant Messaging client ....i have figured out how to do sockets and XML parsing but i still havent figured out how to do file system stuff
<Chea_544>
i need to open a XML file the xml file will have User configuration in it
<Smerdyakov>
Read the manual page on Pervasives, the initially opened module.
<Chea_544>
which manual ?
<Smerdyakov>
The OCaml manual
<Chea_544>
ok ok ......also have you ever use LablGTK ?
<Chea_544>
Smerdyakov ^^
<Smerdyakov>
No
<Chea_544>
i seeeeee
<Chea_544>
Smerdyakov: what have you done in ocaml yourself ?
<Smerdyakov>
I use it for two reasons: 1) when a project I join is already using it; 2) for easy integration with Coq.
<Smerdyakov>
In the first category, I've worked on a model-checker and proof-carrying code tools.
<Smerdyakov>
In the second, certified implementations of program analyses.
<Chea_544>
i seeeeee
<Chea_544>
do you think its faster to program in then C or D ??
<Chea_544>
Smerdyakov
<Smerdyakov>
Everyone knows that. :)
<Chea_544>
i take it as Yes ??
<Chea_544>
:P
<Smerdyakov>
Yes.
<dylan>
ocaml is more expressive than either of those language
<dylan>
*s
<Chea_544>
kk good i am trying to have this client done in 2 days
<Chea_544>
it will be a very simply message to message client with a buddy list
<Chea_544>
nothing more
<Chea_544>
and lablgtk for gui
<Smerdyakov>
And you've never used ML before...?
<Chea_544>
nope first project
<Chea_544>
looks pretty simple though
<Chea_544>
i have used C and D and a slew of scripting langs for my stuff
<Smerdyakov>
I think your deadline is unrealistic.
<Chea_544>
what you mean
<Chea_544>
i odnt need the hwole thing doen in 2 days i jus want ot get the socket stuff all done and setup so then i cna work on buddy list and user UI and stuff
<Smerdyakov>
You likely won't be able to learn OCaml sufficiently well that fast.
<Chea_544>
i have been toying with ocaml for a few months
<Smerdyakov>
Oh, OK.
<Smerdyakov>
Ever used a functional language before?
<Chea_544>
nothing serious i knew the syntax quite well
<Chea_544>
i have used C D php lua Python Ruby Euphoria
<Chea_544>
and i am quite good in all
<Smerdyakov>
Then you haven't used a functional language before. ;)
<Chea_544>
wtf ........ whats a functional langauge then ?
