00:10 <SeanTAllen> What was the joke aturley ?

02:04 <aturley> SeanTAllen i was just going to quote the part about "flags" from "facet squared"

02:05 <aturley> instead i'll just throw down some eddie izzard ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEx5G-GOS1k

06:06 <anthonybullard> I have a weird bug, maybe, that I found?

06:07 <anthonybullard> https://playground.ponylang.io/?gist=e6ff97de3c822a3c5d40892eac54f5cb

06:07 <anthonybullard> It seems like even if the try block runs without error, the else block is still being called

06:07 <anthonybullard> Which led me to waste an hour debugging an issue that didn't exist

06:08 <anthonybullard> Or it does and I don't understand the mechanics of try. When an error is raised, it proceeds immediately to the else block, correct?

06:17 <anthonybullard> Another interesting detail is that is print outs The first maybe 30 bytes of the string after Received as if all is well, and the for loop prints the remaining characters in the byte / char format

06:18 <anthonybullard> I have to get to bed, but this doesn't at least follow the principle of least astonishment

07:49 <vaninwagen> anthonybullard: after you have slept, could you provide a full example? Did you compile with --debug? In general, if the find errors, nothing should be printed from the try block, and it should immediately jump to the else

07:50 <vaninwagen> So sleep tight, most problems solve themselves while sleeping

12:32 <vaninwagen> I was just running a small script of mine, and pony took 16 seconds to spawn 5 million actors

12:32 <vaninwagen> My machine ran out of memory with 10 million actors
