<@Reiver>
So.

<@Reiver>
Reccomendations on a decent SSH client for Windows?
04:22 * Chalcedon idly wonders which language to learn next
04:22
<@Vornicus>
PuTTY
04:22
<@Chalcedon>
or maybe I should settle for getting my Python properly straightened out.
04:22
<@Reiver>
Make sure you can still write Python. :)
04:22
<@Vornicus>
Getting your Python down is a great idea.
04:22
<@Reiver>
hee
04:22
<@Chalcedon>
the whole time I've been learning C# my brain has kept trying to think in Python
04:23
<@Chalcedon>
working out how to do GUI's in Python would be good too
04:27
<@Vornicus>
That would be good. McM probably has some sample code you can steal.
04:27
<@Chalcedon>
Forj was playing with a Python GUI plug in at one point
04:34
<@Vornicus>
I also recommend checking out PostScript, because it's... very, very funky.
05:10
<@Chalcedon>
I have met PostScript
05:10
<@Chalcedon>
I shall have to investigate further
05:14
<@Vornicus>
PostScript is my tool of choice for generating graphics.
05:14
<@Vornicus>
It has /scads/ of control.

<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
I really hate it when you have something all implemented, but your instinctive naming conventions are incompatible with the language.
21:07
<@AnnoDomini>
Wut.
21:07
<@jerith>
That's caught me in Erlang.
21:08
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
AnnoDomini: I have implemented OO in Lua (again). I also want to extend type() (return a string describing the type of an object) to work with this.
21:08
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
So that, for example, type(Symbol()) returns "Symbol" rather than "userdata".
21:09
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
This is trivial.
21:09
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
I also want a way to get at the corresponding type object, so that foo(Symbol()) returns Symbol.
21:09
<@jerith>
Because all "variables" start with capitals.
21:09
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
However, my instinct is to name the latter "type" and the former "typename".
21:10
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
Lua calls the former "type", and doesn't have the latter, as all eight of the builtin types are primitives and thus have no type objects.
21:10
<@AnnoDomini>
I see.
21:11
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
I could of course trivially replace the former, but only if I wanted to totally break lots of existing code.
21:11
<@jerith>
And just when I get used to that, I switch to Ruby where capitals mean "constant".
21:11
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
Maybe I should call them type() and instanceof() or something.
21:12
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
so that instanceof(Symbol()) == Symbol, and type(Symbol()) == "Symbol" (and type(Symbol) == "Class")
21:12
<@jerith>
Interestingly, Ruby "constants" can be changed (with a warning) whereas Erlang "variables" can't. :-)
21:12
<@ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
Pfft.
