01:00 <Perelandric> Are there any instructions for statically linking to a Pony library?

01:00 <Perelandric> I've compiled using `--library` and am trying to link it in a Go program.

01:01 <Perelandric> I've done it before with other languages, but can't quite get this right.

01:01 <Perelandric> Just using a simple test so far: https://gist.github.com/Perelandric/133e3e1fa3d35cc9d1d371f3ef1627f1

01:02 <Perelandric> I try to build the Go program, and get lots of errors pointing to the generated pony header file.

01:19 <SeanTAllen> not that i am aware of Perelandric. I haven't tried to do it.

01:28 <Perelandric> I'll keep tinkering and see if I can figure it out.

03:26 <doublec> Perelandric: see https://bluishcoder.co.nz/2015/12/16/c-linkable-libraries-with-pony.html

03:37 <SeanTAllen> doublec: can i get you to add that content to the tutorial?

03:48 <doublec> SeanTAllen: sur

03:48 <doublec> SeanTAllen: oops, sure. I'll write something up.

06:52 <malthe> SeanTAllen: ok I don't mean the mascot there, main's cool, but I thought perhaps we could have a community-driven process around the website/logo thing.

06:54 <malthe> right there basically isn't a website.

07:36 <malthe> err s/right/right now/

11:34 <ohir> malthe: nope. The logo, the mascot and like should not be a 'community' thing. I deem such things are reserved to the inventor (or starting team).

11:36 <ohir> malthe: at most the open call for gifted people to contribute propositions to the core team

11:43 <ohir> malthe: as for "but if a horse is in there it's quickly my little pony". Excuse me, but the single other meaning that is recognized points to the small boottle of liquor ;-)

12:09 <SeanTAllen> 0.8.0 has been released: https://github.com/ponylang/ponyc/releases/tag/0.8.0

12:09 <SeanTAllen> malthe: the new website work is underway. people can watch it progress on github. I've asked more than once for volunteers to help.

12:14 <malthe> ohir: that's definitely valid, but I guess it depends on the project, e.g. https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_logos/New_logo_ideas

12:14 <malthe> fair amount of contributions, some of them valuable, some not so much.

12:21 <SeanTAllen> we asked the community for help with logos earlier in the year. Jason stepped forward and worked tirelessly with Sylvan and myself and produced stuff we are very happy with. We aren't reopening that anytime soon.

12:22 <malthe> got it. I was just responding to ohir.

15:05 <Perelandric> doublec: Thank you

15:05 <Perelandric> !

15:05 <Perelandric> I don't quite have it yet, but I'm sure I'll get there now.

15:05 <Perelandric> Mostly just making the Go syntax fit.

16:18 <jemc> malthe: when I try to run your `split_zc` branch to run your benchmark, I'm seeing this error when compiling: `ponyc: Instructions.cpp:1083: void llvm::StoreInst::AssertOK(): Assertion `getOperand(0)->getType() == cast<PointerType>(getOperand(1)->getType())->getElementType() && "Ptr must be a pointer to Val type!"' failed.`

16:18 <jemc> malthe: I think you were seeing this yesterday

16:18 <jemc> err.. not yesterday, but earlier

16:19 <SeanTAllen> and it went away when he went to llvm 3.9 apparently

16:21 <jemc> ah, right - I'll try that

16:21 <jemc> btw I was seeing this error with both llvm 3.8.0 and 3.8.1 - does this mean that we can't say we support 3.8.1 anymore?

16:45 <SeanTAllen> i wonder if its in 3.7 etc as well

16:46 <SeanTAllen> saying we support 3.8.1 means we would fix our stuff so it doesnt happen with 3.8.1 or ya, dropping 3.8 support

19:02 <malthe> jemc: thats exactly what I got

19:03 <malthe> I thought it was my machine because I upgraded to sierra just moments before I wrote that code.
