that can wrap a closure around a procedure and attach meta data to the closure's first free variable
we can use this for docstrings
which is a common discussion topic
where did he post it? ML?
maybe we can do the wrapping at runtime when we load in the interpreter
also docstrings are useless in static executables
the
.ssi file is what the compiler generates normally for the module interface
to be loaded by the expander
but you can do that manually for special cases
eraserhd @eraserhd is currently converting some shell scripts to gerbil.
take a look at gerbil-mode
in
etc/gerbil.el
eraserhd @eraserhd wonders if there is something like erb, except for scheme.
maybe we can write something :)
@eraserhd ^^
https://github.com/ober/oberlib/blob/master/oberlib.ss#L251 right now it's crude and expands env vars in templates. but I know @belmarca had something better
announcing "gitout", a collection of missing git/github cli tools, in gerbil: https://github.com/eraserhd/gitout . Notably "git browse-link" which takes a filename and selection coordinates and figures out how to make a link to github.com showing that code.
and also clojerbil, which I'll be adding to since I write a lot of Clojure. Right now, it only has ->, if-let, and when-let macros. https://github.com/eraserhd/clojerbil
(for clojerbil, I hope to port immutable data structures one of these days)
it would have been nice to have that at my last job. clojure shop, but no real way to use it in devops
Gambit can compile to Java... that would be an interesting circle
https://github.com/belmarca/gerbil-fwd looks interesting
you can open a pr in https://github.com/vyzo/gerbil-directory
