00:17 <sarna> ohh I misread, I'm sorry

00:17 <sarna> my brain is fried today

18:26 <sjaustirni> Hello everyone! I am new to Pony and wondering - is there a standard structure for Pony projects, similar to what Cargo generates for Rust projects?

19:08 <vaninwagen> sjaustirni, there is something like a template for new projects: https://github.com/ponylang/library-project-starter

19:08 <vaninwagen> here is some explanation on how to create a new project from it: https://github.com/ponylang/library-project-starter/blob/master/USAGE.md

19:09 <vaninwagen> btw, there is a new Last Week in Pony post available: https://www.ponylang.org/blog/2018/01/last-week-in-pony---january-28-2018/ in case you missed the really important stuff last week because you have been trapped in batland or similar stuff like work

19:10 <sjaustirni> thank you vaninwagen, I'll have a look at those :)

19:12 <vaninwagen> you're welcome

19:13 <sarna> SeanTAllen: https://github.com/ponylang/library-project-starter/issues/1

19:13 <sarna> hello I'm pinging you

19:13 <sarna> :^)

19:23 <vaninwagen> sarna wouldn't it be awesome if such a tool for automating the library-project-starter installation would itself be written in pony?

19:24 <sarna> vaninwagen: the plan is to do it in pony, yeah

19:26 <vaninwagen> awesome plan imho

19:44 <sjaustirni> Having /src and /build directories, how would you compile src/main.pony into /build/project?

19:45 <sjaustirni> "ponyc src/main.pony -o build/" throws error

19:45 <sjaustirni> "src/main.pony: couldn't locate this path"

19:46 <sjaustirni> wait I see know

19:48 <sjaustirni> it's a directory that should be passed, not a file, so src instead of src/main.pony will do the job

21:01 <dougmacdoug> is there a way to match or select based on type parameter... foo[X]() => if X is String then "a" else "b" end

21:07 <vaninwagen> dougmacdoug you can do: iftype X <: String then ... else ..

21:07 <vaninwagen> . end

21:07 <vaninwagen> this is an experimental feature

21:07 <vaninwagen> But worked great for me so far

21:08 <dougmacdoug> ok cool.. thanks!

21:12 <SeanTAllen> sarna: shoot me an email: sean@monkeysnatchbanana.com

21:13 <SeanTAllen> dougmacdoug: you can also do that using a match statement. which in your case is what you want

21:14 <SeanTAllen> o wait

21:14 <SeanTAllen> nevermind

21:14 <sarna> SeanTAllen: am I supposed to include something in it or

21:14 <SeanTAllen> i misread what you put dougmacdoug

21:14 <SeanTAllen> sarna: sorry, what?

21:15 <sarna> SeanTAllen: am I supposed to tell you the development plan or just "hi Sean"? :D

21:16 <SeanTAllen> if you'd be intereted in helping drop me an email or we can chat on the issue. i want something where its easy to follow along with it for anyone else

21:16 <SeanTAllen> so actually drop a note on the issue.

21:16 <SeanTAllen> and ill respond

21:17 <sarna> alright

21:31 <SeanTAllen> time to watch krig's Linuxconf.au talk! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0197aoljGQ

21:34 <SeanTAllen> krig: one correction... i'm definitely not the only maintainer. there's many folks... (including sylvan) on the core team and as committers. i'm just one small part of a larger group. BUT... thank you for the nice call out!
