| rindolf | Gigsaw: and you can write most of its code directly in Perl. |
| Gigsaw | good thing im on a laptop |
| rindolf | Gigsaw: what? Gigsaw: I have a UPS. |
| Gigsaw | this building should have a few backup systems |
| rindolf | Gigsaw: oh. |
| Gigsaw | meh |
| Daveman | closures yeah on certain cases >:) |
| rindolf | Daveman: closures++ |
| Gigsaw | rindolf, I'll check out sicp when I get a chance |
| rindolf | But lately I've been using mostly methods and classes and stuff. Gigsaw: OK. |
| q[ender] | closures are fun |
| rindolf | Gigsaw: there are also videos, but I didn't watch them. perlbot: closures |
| perlbot | see "perlbot: references" and then http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Perl/Newbies/lecture3/refs_to_funcs/ and then "perlbot sicp". |
| Gigsaw | rindolf, I have a lot of skilled perl programmers around me here |
| rindolf | Gigsaw: nice. |
| Gigsaw | learned a lot from them |
| rindolf | Gigsaw: I think Perl 5 is the tower of Babel of languages. Gigsaw: and Perl 6 will be ever more so. |
| Gigsaw | its hard to teach style |
| dkr | Gigsaw: we know they are watching you here, you can tell us the real story later. :) |
| Gigsaw | hahah |
| rindolf | perlbot: closures |
| perlbot | see "perlbot: references" and then http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Perl/Newbies/lecture3/refs_to_funcs/ and then "perlbot sicp". |
| Gigsaw | some of them might be here actually |
| nanonyme | rindolf: that some distant day when people actually learn to use Perl 6 ;) |
| Crescendo_ | Using perl, what function is used to trim all extra characters from a string after a certain length? |
| rindolf | perlbot: relearn closures as see "perlbot: references" and then http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Perl/Newbies/lecture3/refs_to_funcs/ and then see "perlbot: references" and then http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Perl/Newbies/lecture3/refs_to_funcs/ and then see "perlbot: references" and then http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Perl/Newbies/lecture3/refs_to_funcs/ and thenhttp://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/08/01.html and then "perlbo t sicp" |
| perlbot | relearned entry for closures |
| hobbs | Crescendo_: substr |
| dkr | substr |
| Gigsaw | yeh, one of my coworkers is here |
| Crescendo_ | K, thanks. |
| shorten | rindolf's url is at http://xrl.us/vhhs |
