Hey, I asked this a couple of days ago but got no response, so I'll ask again
11:07
<@himi-cat>
Does anyone have any comment about Julia?
11:07
<@himi-cat>
This is in the context of using it as an alternative to Python for relatively low complexity and low performance requirement numerical code

18:37 * ToxicFrog pokes forth with a stick

18:37
< ToxicFrog>
Why does the : precede the name?
18:37
< ToxicFrog>
It seems like it would be more consistent if it came after, and also read more naturally
18:38
<@Tamber>
a dim memory says that's because that's the symbol for "I want you to compile this thing, and call it <name>"
18:39
< ToxicFrog>
Right
18:39
< ToxicFrog>
But forth uses postfix in general
18:39
< ToxicFrog>
Like, the ps equivalent is `<name> <code> def`
18:40
< ToxicFrog>
Where `def` pops both name and code and records them in the dictionary.
18:40
< ToxicFrog>
Forth uses `: <name> <code> ;`
18:40
< ToxicFrog>
And it seems like `<name> : <code> ;` would both look more natural to human eyes and be easier to implement (`;` pops tokens until it reaches `:`, then pops one more token for the name and compiles)
18:42
<@Tamber>
Ah, right, you're well off into the realm of -ENOKNOW for me, then.
18:47
< ToxicFrog>
Ok, I just read a bit that explains it. It's...weird.
18:47
<@Tamber>
"Forth"
18:48
< ToxicFrog>
Basically, forth "words" include both "normal" words (e.g. functions executed at runtime or compile time) and "parsing words", which change the state of the parser and read their input from the buffer rather than from the stack
18:49
<@Tamber>
Seems reasonable enough
18:49
< ToxicFrog>
But this means that normal words are postfix and parsing words are prefix
18:50 Jessikat [Jessikat@Nightstar-cuc.equ.132.82.IP] has quit [[NS] Quit: Bye]
18:50
<@Tamber>
*nods*
18:51
< ToxicFrog>
So e.g. to add two numbers you write `1 2 +`, but to get the integer codepoint associated with a literal character you write `char a`, because `char` is a parsing word that pulls its argument from the input buffer
18:53
< ToxicFrog>
This displeases me

<&[R]>
<Yossarian> [R], et al, are there any good scheme interpreters?
19:30
<&McMartin>
Every serious schemer I know uses Racket
19:30
<&McMartin>
That is, granted, a sample size of two
19:30
<&[R]>
Thanks
19:31
<&McMartin>
I did my own experiments with Gambit, which has a nice and very fast compiler and interops very well with C but doesn't have most of the extensions that make the language usable in the large or even the medium
