<@jerith>
So, #code. I have a question.
12:07
<@jerith>
On Wednesday night I will be talking to a programmer's group about Ruby.
12:07
< Reiver>
"It's like Python, but without documentation."
12:07
<@jerith>
They're all somewhat familiar with Python, Java, PHP, C, etc. but not Ruby.
12:07
< Reiver>
"Oh, and pretty much the whole language is syntactic sugar."
12:07
<@jerith>
What should I say?
12:07
<@TheWatcher[wr0k]>
"It's like REBOL but free"
12:09
<@TheWatcher[wr0k]>
(and if they know not what REBOL is, shame upon them. Fie and shame I say)
12:09
<@jerith>
Then you shall have to say fie and shame in my direction.
12:10
<@TheWatcher[wr0k]>
Very well! Fie and shame upon thee, knowlessman! ;p
12:11
< Reiver>
My answers were serious.
12:11
<@TheWatcher[wr0k]>
As was mine! ¬¬
12:11 * jerith nods sagely.
12:11
< Reiver>
Pi's opinion of Ruby is "basically Python, but slightly more powerful and vastly less documented".
12:12
< EvilDarkLord>
"All the cool kids are doing it."
12:12
<@jerith>
It's different different enough from Python to make it an interesting talk.
12:12
<@TheWatcher[wr0k]>
And it doesn't have whitespace sensitivity
12:13
< Reiver>
Which is nice.
12:13
<@TheWatcher[wr0k]>
the word I'd use is 'sane'
12:14
< Reiver>
The whitespace sensitivity would have been healthier had they forced either a space or tab delimitation.
12:14
< Reiver>
Having it either-or-but-the-two-aren't-quite-the-same is just a recipie for code-breakage.
12:24
<@jerith>
Python allows whatever whitespace you like as long as it's consistent.
12:24
<@jerith>
Mixing tabs and spaces is a recipe for pain anywhere.
12:25
<@jerith>
Although for some reason Sun formats all their Java like that.
12:25
< EvilDarkLord>
It's a conspiracy!
12:27 Stephenie [Safyra@Nightstar-4370.ok.ok.cox.net] has joined #code
12:32
<@jerith>
Hmm, I need to learn how to write code that takes blocks.
12:32
<@jerith>
So that I can show people.
12:35
<@TheWatcher[wr0k]>
(You'll show them, you'll show them all! Bwahahahahahah!) ¬¬
12:38
<@jerith>
Indeed.
12:38
<@jerith>
But only the ones who are actually there.

22:47 * Reiver ravishes Vorn to cheer him up!

o_O
22:51 * Stephenie ponders if shes thinking of the right ravishing
22:51 * Reiver would volinteer to demonstrate, but suspects TF would probably beat him~
22:52 * ToxicFrog doesn't swing that way, thankyou~
22:53 * Stephenie falls over laughing

aoanla is dissapointed by the disambiguation?

23:15 * Vornotron hurtkills Reiver, half an hour later.
23:15
<@McMartin>
So, Sun just GPLed J2SE, J2ME, and J2EE
23:16
< Vornotron>
is that a "just" as in "very recently", or as in "only"?
23:16
<@McMartin>
http://www.sun.com/2006-1113/feature/index.jsp
23:16
<@McMartin>
As in, "announced today"
23:16
< Vornotron>
Yes, I knew that
23:16 * Vornotron points up about 4 hours
23:16
< Reiver>
McM: Is this a good thing?
23:17
<@McMartin>
It means Ubuntu, Fedora Core, etc, are likely to end up having working Java installs out of the box, which is good.
23:17
< Reiver>
Oohshiny.
23:17
<@McMartin>
It means there's a functioning, inspectable reference implementation, which is good for the survivability of the language
23:18
<@McMartin>
And it ensures that as a language it will survive if Sun dies
23:18
< Vornotron>
Yay good things
23:18
< Reiver>
...Is this perhaps a first step to Sun giving up on it, or?
23:18
<@McMartin>
Bell Labs hasn't exactly given up on C.
23:18
< Vornotron>
Indeed not
23:19
<@McMartin>
The language was already free for download.
23:19 * Reiver is mostly pondering: What's the buisness sense behind this?
23:19
<@McMartin>
Wider adoption
23:19
<@McMartin>
No loss in income, because there wasn't any income to begin with.
23:19
< Vornotron>
you get thousands of optimization freaks poring over every line of code looking for something - anything - to make it faster
23:20
< Reiver>
Aha.
23:20
< Reiver>
...pft
23:20
< Vornotron>
which gets you more adoption
23:20
<@McMartin>
Honestly, I'm not going to trust the optimization freaks much~
23:20
< Reiver>
I fear the developers inbox
23:20
<@McMartin>
Except possibly in the Standard Library.
23:20
<@ToxicFrog>
You get various Linux flavours including it out of the box, which, again, wider adoption + better end user experience.
23:21
< Vornotron>
You're more likely to get better native libraries, too.
23:31
< Vornotron>
(now if we could clean up the library itself...)
