From the GitHub page, they provide libz-rs-sys, a zlib-compatible C API for usage in non-Rust applications.

Huh, funny this should pop up here. I recently started commuting by subway into work, so I had to pick up a subway book. I had been meaning to read this, so I went to my local book store and grabbed a copy. It’s a really great book. Such a

Thank you! I’m very proud of the macro expander, so comments like yours are really invigorating and justify the work I put into it

Yup. He’s also my GitHub avatar. The idea behind the name is a reference to the language providing the user the maximal set of tools

Very cool! I saw a number of projects pretty similar to this one, typed racket for example. I didn’t really talk about it too much but what I want to do is flip the direction. Coalton is based on CL, but what I would like is scheme to essen

Not an interpreter! A compiler :-) Have you seen a stack trace originating from somewhere within tokio? Nearly all useful information is lost. My contention is that by isolating the functions that are required to be written in Rust and then

I probably should have looked at this talk! Instead my reference was this PhD thesis[1] cited in the R6RS spec. I can’t say I read the whole thing, but my takeaway was to use a system of marks/antimarks. The basic idea is that at the p

It’s probably simmering, but it also probably boils on occasion. You’re not losing stew anyway, you’re just losing water

I'm pretty sure one of the properties of cars is that they can catch on fire (due to all that gasoline, which is famously flammable), so I don't think you should start driving if you want to avoid burning to death

Yes, but the article is talking about how YoY crime is down last month, while ridership has _increased significantly this month_, so the crime rater per capita is _significantly_ down.

Although mentioned in the article as something Eric Adams has said, that's not actually what the article is talking about - this is comparing subway crimes before and after congestion pricing

I had no idea this was a campaign promise. Why? I don’t understand.

I’ve disagreed with Drew on many things in the past but this is something with him that I 100% aligned, and I sincerely hope that he is joined by many others at the sit in.

I cannot comment on the article - it’s paywalled - but I can talk about the claim in the headline. I can tell from my personal experience that I stopped going because most club shows start earliest at 10 pm, and even then headliner probably

I do not have anything to add to this beyond pointing out that it is an incredibly ironic first post for someone who loudly states how much they love capitalism on their about page

I wouldn’t call either “state of the art”, it all depends on what you’re doing and what you want to achieve. Many compilers use several different IRs to achieve different things

Those two functions are indeed missing. However, you can create syntax objects with `syntax-quote`. Again, lots of missing functionality. They shouldn't be hard to implement tho, I just need to add template ids to the transformer. If y

Wait, never mind, I did implement syntax objects. So yes, there is syntax case. There are couple of limitations but it mostly works

Is this your work Saverio? It’s hosted on your website. If so, could you link to the implementation itself? Would be very interested in looking at it!

by maplant 2y ago
Good catch!
117.
by maplant 2y ago
Ah, I meant syntax rules, but syntax case is supported - there’s just no way to create syntax objects so it’s practically not useful. My email is on my website, if you have any other questions feel free to shoot me an email.

Sorry, I misread your question. I’m sure it’s possible but this seemed like a good enough implementation for what I needed.

This relies on static because the mutation buffer could have types last for the lifetime of the program (imagine if the collector never runs). I am unfamiliar with what you are describing so I cannot answer your second question.

This is in the context of implementing a smart pointer that can be used within a interpreter for Scheme
