Tell me again why GCC isn't set to -Wall -pedantic by default? :P
21:59
<@jerith>
gnolam: Because compiles would be orders of magnitude more noisy.
22:01
< gnolam>
Yes. Meaning if you really need to, you can tell it /not/ to complain about certain things.
22:01
< gnolam>
Because my GOD the things get away with without the compiler complaining.
22:02
<@jerith>
Yes, but it would offend a lot of people.
22:02
<@jerith>
It's standard in all my Makefiles, though.

<@Vornicus>
Make is a scary, scary, horrible thing.
22:11 * GeekSoldier kicks make in the wang
22:11 * jerith hands Vornicus a rake.
22:12
<@jerith>
Make is orders of magnitude saner than ant.
22:12
<@Vornicus>
Heh
22:12
<@Vornicus>
rake was pretty nice, but anything Ruby nowadays leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
22:12
<@jerith>
I've never actually used rake.
22:12
<@jerith>
Vornicus: Because of the language or other stuff?
22:12
<@Vornicus>
The language, mostly.
22:13 * gnolam shudders.
22:13
< gnolam>
Make.
22:13 * gnolam shudders again.
22:13
<@jerith>
I haven't yet seen a build script language I like yet, though.
22:14
<@Vornicus>
The documentation or lack thereof didn't help.
22:14
<@Vornicus>
But the thing that really got to me was the operator overload thing.
22:15
< gnolam>
There's Design By Committee (Java), there's Design By Evolution (C++), and then there's Design By Crack Smoking (Make).
22:15
<@Vornicus>
You want to change the way an existing type acts when you operate on it with a type of your own? you ahve to move aside and proxy the original method.
22:16
<@Vornicus>
Python's is far saner, with __radd__
22:16 Chalain is now known as ChAfk
22:16
<@jerith>
Yeah, Python's saner overall.
22:17
<@jerith>
Py3k looks pretty shiny, too.
22:18 * Vornicus doesn't mind Java as a language. The library is a shrieking horror though.
22:19 You're now known as TheWatcher[T-2]
22:19
<@jerith>
Yeah.
22:19
< JohnBDoe>
Whyso?
22:20
< JohnBDoe>
I found it helpful.
22:22 You're now known as TheWatcher[zZzZ]
22:22
<@jerith>
Java's... yeah.
22:22
<@jerith>
It's not the worst.
22:22
<@jerith>
But it's very boandage-and-discipline.
22:23
<@jerith>
-a
22:23
<@jerith>
And the library is variable at best.
22:24
<@Vornicus>
a lot of it just doesn't hang together properly; see in particular Swing/AWT, the calendar stuff, and the multiple implementations of container classes when really when you get down to it you just need one that's a listy thing and one that's a dictionary-y thing.
22:25
<@jerith>
But an array and a linked list are different!
22:26
<@Vornicus>
But I kinda liked rake, I created a thing that could call ghostscript using actual things as opposed to strings representing these things, and then use it.

__radd__?

23:30 Forj [~Forj@Nightstar-15747.ue.woosh.co.nz] has quit [Quit: Gone]
23:36
<@Vornicus>
__add__ reversed.
23:36
<@Vornicus>
The way operator overloading works in Python: a + b calls a.__add__(b), then if that doesn't work (raises NotImplementedError) it tries b.__radd__(a)
23:38
<@Vornicus>
So you can implement vectors (like, the math kind) and scalar * vector by defining Vector.rmul
23:39
<@Vornicus>
er, __rmul__, but you get the point
23:39
<@ToxicFrog>
Aah.
23:40
<@ToxicFrog>
Similar to how Lua handles it, except there's only the one metamethod; if a.__add(a,b) doesn't work, it tries b.__add(a,b)
23:40
<@Vornicus>
aha
