05:27 <emilbayes> I looked at the thread about a package manager in the github issues, but have a couple of concerns, given what we've learned in the node.js community. Eg. decoupleing package management from linking, and packages being content addressable instead of being linked by version (version being an alias to a hash, so it's still human friendly :) )

19:50 <iiv> Hello! I have some trouble compiling ponyc and I'd like some help... I am on Ubuntu 16.4 and when I type 'make' it spits out a huge error message mostly containing of 'expected declaration specifiers before '<something>''

19:52 <iiv> I have tried googling everything I can think about that is relevant, but to no success

19:59 <iiv> Another thing it spits out a lot of: 'unused parameter ‘<something>’'

20:03 <iiv> Here is a paste of the error: http://pastebin.com/uGLcQaDh (beware, it's almost 800 lines long)

20:06 <iiv> (I'm pretty desperate here, as you can see by my wall of text...)

20:11 <Praetonus> iiv: Looks like we're using a compiler extension not supported by your compiler. Could you open an issue on Github with the name and version of your compiler?

20:13 <iiv> Praetonus: I just realised what the problem was! I had a bunch of CFLAGS in my ~/.bashrc that made it incompatible!

20:13 <iiv> Thanks!

20:15 <iiv> It was thanks to you that came to think of that, thank you very much

20:17 <Praetonus> You're welcome

20:43 <michael_campbell> Out of curiosity, what flags were in your .bashrc?

20:44 <michael_campbell> Glad you found it iiv; I would have though Ubuntu 16.04's gcc to be pretty vanilla.

20:45 <iiv> -ggdb3 -O0 -std=c99 -Wall -Werror

20:45 <michael_campbell> c99 the offender?

20:46 <iiv> I don't know, I removed them all

20:50 <iiv> When I added those flags I didn't know about 'make' and I had no intention to compile others software

21:21 <ii-v> Hey, quick question, is `new create() =>` basically the same as pythons `__init__():`?

21:26 <Praetonus> ii-v: Yes, it's the same idea. The main difference is that in Python the constructor must be called __init__ whereas in Pony a constructor can have a user-defined name

21:26 <ii-v> Aha, cool, so far I really enjoy pony!

22:01 <ii-v> I'm having trouble with this piece of code: https://gist.github.com/ii-v/6a115b2f7b7efb57c805ad2f4ce04234

22:01 <ii-v> I get the error `Literal doesn't terminate`

22:01 <ii-v> oh, I think I figured it out

22:02 <ii-v> and I'm sorry for spamming on here

22:10 <doublec> ii-v: spam away with pony stuff, it's not the busiest channel around :)

22:12 <ii-v> doublec: haha, thanks, but I have to go and get some sleep now, I'll probably come back here tomorrow though
