ah sorry, i phrased it weirdly. I'm running ijanet on emacs (and yes i have the eval buffer) and i'm trying to use circlet, which is a webserver based on mongoose. It has a
(while true) to keep the server running, and it seems like the repl is blocked while this is happening. Having said this, I realize the solution might simply be to wrap it in a coroutine. That would make it async, and perhaps not block the repl.
and use vars
and manually code some reloading logic
but i think its possible
I solved a similar problem with netrepl and ev/call. Relevant bits of code: https://github.com/Saikyun/text-experiment/blob/main/src/main.janet#L503
I also used dofile to get an env and merge it into the root env: https://github.com/Saikyun/text-experiment/blob/main/src/file_handling.janet#L54
@sogaiu:matrix.org has some info about using netrepl from Emacs, but I'm not sure if that code is public
i think the emacs netrepl code i have is here: https://gist.github.com/sogaiu/aa957885d965e4b874fc83c55f873719
@subsetpark: may be you found it already, but iiuc, ijanet refers to this: https://github.com/SerialDev/ijanet-mode
e.g.
(:+ a b)
it seems pretty clear what is going on
so the answer to writing a polymorphic formula would have been to use methods for everything
i guess that would have required methods on things like Number
the syntax doesn't even look that bad imo
i guess it would put you in the situation that to use int/s64 you would be required to use methods
poly/pos? poly/max poly/min ...
and they would be implemented in terms of methods
I think its currently quite error prone in the stdlib to use any of the standard functions with abstract number types
due to total ordering
im not sure the real value having + call a method on fallback provides
though i think it might not be that bad to do static method lookup for primitive types
in the method call opcode
anyway, not sure this is a good idea or not, just some thoughts
So, is anyone keeping a Janet dockerfile around? I'm planning on using docker to help packat a project, and I am willing to write one, but wanted to check for prior art
Never used it for anything, but tested that it works. I settled for the classic PHP "files on the server" approach
It helps by giving me a cross platform "Run this to check out this janet project"
Instead of trying to cross compile, or have the people in question go through the Janet installation process
for me that was a lot worse
@andrewchambers: this is a program for a specific set of people I expect to be more familiar with Docker than Janet, not a general distribution of code. Otherwise I'd share your concerns
Janet in docker is a nice sandbox, perhaps easier to setup than a chroot for web janet and so small via alpine
Janet cross platform is fun but tricky
I liked rocket a lot more, too bad it died
isn't there a docker replacement from redhat that can handle docker files?
