| syntaxfree | I don't understand why Ada is so heavily criticized. |
| ddarius | Anyways, let binds polymorphically syntaxfree: In which way? |
| allbery_b | for the same reason PL/1 was: it tries to do way too much |
| syntaxfree | I've always heard of Ada as a disaster example of a language designed by committee. |
| sorear | now scons is complaining I don't have a working C compiler funny, since ghc -fvia-C doesn't seem to mind this lack |
| syntaxfree | man, kill scons. |
| Pastorn_ | drop is faster than take, rigt? |
| sorear | syntaxfree: doesn't work. you need killall python. when will they learn not to zap argv[0]? python-- or maybe env-- |
| syntaxfree | ah, I didn't mean that. I meant "screw" or "foque". : / |
| action | syntaxfree blushes |
| syntaxfree | blushes |
| action | sorear greps the yhc history for the author of the patch that added Sconscript |
| sorear | greps the yhc history for the author of the patch that added Sconscript |
| syntaxfree | ah, I failed to compile yhc because of scons as well. |
| Pastorn_ | quicksilver: about permutations... if i want to allow the same element to be repeated more than once? |
| sorear | andrewjwilkinson-- |
| syntaxfree | buy scons keeps on getting in my way. |
| sorear | make was better autotools even |
| syntaxfree | s/buy/but |
| Pastorn_ | quicksilver: should i do concat . replicate ? |
| xerox | petekaz: basically you want a function that given a list of functions, prints their results in sequence? |
| quicksilver | Pastorn_: how long are the combinations supposed to be? same length as the original list? |
| petekaz | xerox: yes. |
| kc5tja | sorear: scons --help will print the defined Help() text if and only if it exists. If it doesn't, then it will default to --help-commands. |
| sorear | syntaxfree: yhc build the first time I tried to build it. |
| Pastorn_ | no, n long |
| xerox | petekaz: the problem is that you would pass in an HList of functions. |
| sorear | kc5tja: tell that to my failing configure. |
| xs | sorear, try scons help, if you're using yhc |
| quicksilver | Pastorn_: you can do that with sequence and replicate, I think |
| sorear | syntaxfree: now no amount of scons clean will make it do the original easy build again xs: tried. xs: no luck. |
| xerox | petekaz: there exist another interesting approach in fact.... |
| quicksilver | > sequence (replicate 3 [1,2]) |
| kc5tja | sorear: What would --help have to do with a failing configure? Why are you using configure when scons has auto-configuration capabilities built-in? |
| quicksilver | > Control.Monad.sequence (replicate 3 [1,2]) |
