@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
since a bad comparison often silently returns true or false
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?
lol
Yes… k8s too has moved off docker proper isn’t it? The thing that makes it all go is containerd, and docker is just one rather clunky way of constructing images for containerd to run. That’s my extremely poorly informed understanding
Never thought I'd be reading the best blog/history of containers I've seen yet on a banking website
Eg if I have a function pointer, recompile some c code, and somehow replace the content of that pointer
Using dlload or something like that
at a different path i guess
janet doesn't currently let you unload modules
you could also use something like my tcc bindings to make a C function that is an asbtract type
