03:51 <Modius> What's a clean idiomatic way to get make an array from "all of list except last element"?

06:01 <flux> modius, the idiomatic way would be not to do it ;-). a lazy man's way would be let drop_last l = List.rev (List.tail (List.rev l)), but an explicit recursive function will be faster (and tail-recursive given the List.tail of the standard library)

06:06 <Modius> flux : Thanks, yeah I did the reverse thing. I guess fastest would be manually filling the array as the tail-recursive function could know the length without re-traversing.

08:24 <Camarade_Tux> hmmm, I can't find ocaml-gettext in godi =/

08:52 <Camarade_Tux> kaustuv: I am installing marionnet now on this box (slackware) and had several problems: first, ocaml-gettext not available in godi, then marionnet tries to use ocamlbricks' (their own extlib afaik) Hashmap.to_list which doesn't exist, but Hashmap.to_alist exists, and last, it doesn't rely on ocamlfind (uses ocamlbuild hardcodes paths relative to the installation prefix)

09:09 <Camarade_Tux> oh, nice :)

10:54 <Camarade_Tux> bah, I can't get ghc for my computer and I need the two repos mentionned here http://wiki.marionnet.org/doku.php?id=documentation:darcs , is there anyone who can get them and make tarballs for me? =)

11:20 <Camarade_Tux> I'll be using wget, should work

11:24 <Camarade_Tux> well, wget worked great

15:20 <mfp> didn't know that C++ was converging so clearly to ML in its own, contorted, way http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/92tnd/concepts_removed_from_c0x/
