The "runit" binary itself is supposed to replace init. If you want to use runit as a user-space process manager you have to use runsvdir and friends.

It's a minor point, but procer is basically exactly the tool I've been looking for. We're using runit to launch processes and getting runit to actually, you know, run has been a major pain in the ass, and it's really weird. And the c code

I know of some ten year old machines running critical SCADA control software on top of Windows 2000. Those machines were never intended to be upgraded. They're not even connected to the Internet, so I'd be surprised if they've even been pat

I use perl every day and awk almost every day. Awk is useful for commands where it forms a small part of an overall pipeline and needs to be somewhat terse, and yet fast. Gawk is actually fairly fast, mawk[1] even more so. [1]: http://invi

cl-ledger is sort of on indefinite hold. I don't know if it ever got the point of feature parity with cpp-ledger, but it might have gotten close. Ledger v3.0 will have comprehensive python bindings, which is one step closer especially for a

Glad I could help! The mailing list is very good if you have questions.

It's funny, I've never actually looked at haskell, let alone HLedger. I think maybe I'll take a look.

At one point someone at work who should have known better wrote "eMail packets" so that's what we use. "you have an incoming eMail packet", "check your eMail packets", etc.

It wasn't a different object system, though. At the level I'm using Moose, Mouse was completely drop-in. I understand your point, but scaling isn't really a goal. I just wanted the script to run faster than it was. I'm planning on building

Working through a few examples helped me quite a bit. I think the Moose::Cookbook[1] is pretty descent. [1]: http://search.cpan.org/~flora/Moose-1.03/lib/Moose/Cookbook....

I certainly could have made it persistent but then I'd be adding significant complexity to a little run-and-done single-file data processing app. I mean, even before changing to Mouse the thing took only a few seconds to start up. Now it's

Agreed. Other than the iTunes store(s), Apple doesn't have a very good reputation with rolling out network services. Especially free-to-use ones like the notification api.

Squirrel is actually deprecated in favor of Any::Moose. They basically do the same thing except Any::Moose decides to use Mouse or Moose once, where as Squirrel will attempt to do it every time it's imported.

Yes, I'm sure it is, just as Moose will become irrelevant when perl 6 becomes widespread. However, right now it's pretty handy if you have something where startup time matters and you don't mind giving up some of the deeper features of Moos

I'm all for simplification. However, I don't think the other person that sleeps in my bed from time to time would appreciate me saying "we're sleeping on the floor now, honey! it's just like camping!"
