in CVS:
- tinyclos: there was no default initialize method for subclasses of <primitive> [Thanks to Johannes
Groedem]
- csc: ".h" and ".hpp" files are processed as Scheme compiled with -ffi; Lars Nilsson pointed out a
bug in the
handling of "-l..." on Windows
- easyffi: ___in/___out/___inout qualifiers
- library: `#\xXX' and `#\uXXXX' syntax for characters
- Makefile.am: README.CVS and chicken.pdf are not installed
I've also fixed the complex egg and added a text-editor widget
to bb (still somewhat raw, but should basically work).
Some things I'm pondering:
- csc is also the name used by the C# compiler of a well known Seattle-based
Software company. To avoid naming collisions (especially since UNIX
systems with Mono have a csc in their path as well [fools!]) it
_might_ be advisable to rename csc (and in the process perhaps csi
as well). Any ideas? Should we sue?
- Is somebody interested in porting Ltk (the Tcl/Tk interface for Common
LISP) to chicken? Or would it make sense at all to start working on
a tcl/Tk interface?
- On a regular basis I get the urge to be minimalist. I see all the stuff
that's slowly adding up to the base system and wonder how everything
could made simpler, smaller and more lightweight. Then I start going
through the sources to find things that might be candidates to be
thrown out, only to get finally bogged down in details, realizing that it
would probably make more sense to start from scratch (or nearly from
scratch) than to break backward compatibility.
To get to the point: is there stuff that could seriously be considered
"cruft"? Should we start deprecating certain things? Is there anything
that you find completely useless? Any suggestions are welcome.
- Someone generously allowed me to run Spiffy (the Chicken web-server) on
a spare machine (currently there is only a minimalistic and barely usable
wiki - see http://chicken.humankraft.com/wiki.ssp). Instead of writing yet
another wiki-clone, I am looking for something interesting to be hosted
there, some kind of chicken-related web-service, documentation project,
or whatever. Perhaps someone has an idea?
cheers,
felix
