19:23.49nox-moin
20:09.58EthanGhallo
20:15.09nox-moin EthanG
20:15.21EthanGHow's life nox?
20:16.18nox-played with D 2.0 a bit:  http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=117243
20:16.38EthanGoh aye. any good?
20:17.38nox-well i like it (so far)
20:18.21nox-if you look at my (still ugly) xzj.d hack i think that would be quite some more code in C or probably also in C++...
20:18.53nox-and its a compiled language so its not really slower
20:18.56EthanGoh it's a compiler, I was confusing it with Blue Mars virtual world
20:19.06EthanGah right :)
20:19.39nox-so looks like a win at least if things like python are not `fast enough' :)
20:19.45EthanGI see :)
20:20.21EthanGI might get into Go myself, I like the idea of channels, but I'm having fun with C now
20:20.48nox-i think Go doesnt interface with exitsing C code/libs as easily
20:21.47nox-(and whats the point of having to rewrite exiting code that already does the job... :)
20:21.50EthanGah I think you're right. I wsa following go-nuts ML for a while & they seemed to have some quite hairy problems getting opengl to work
20:22.04nox-heh
20:22.32EthanGwell it's a very different language, as things from the old Bell Labs crew tend to be
20:22.40nox-:)
20:23.06nox-http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321635361/modecdesi-20
20:23.12nox-thats the book i read
20:23.47EthanGah ok
20:24.17EthanGso D's OO
20:24.22nox-http://erdani.com/
20:24.27nox-OO and more
20:24.44nox-(author's homepage with some more links)
20:25.20EthanGI'm not too keen on OO, which might sound odd but there you go
20:25.53nox-well my xzj.d hack also isnt too much OO (yet?)
20:26.00EthanGah :)
20:26.16nox-but the concurrency stuff for example was really useful
20:26.26nox-(its a threaded .xz compressor)
20:26.39EthanGoh I see!
20:26.52nox-tho no decompression yet
20:27.14nox-(have to use single-threaded xz -d for now)
20:27.41EthanGah right
20:28.17nox-if you have linux (or freebsd) you can try my binary too btw :)
20:28.50EthanGI have Linux again, don't really use xz
20:28.54nox-ok :)
20:29.13EthanGoh wait.. slackware packages are usually .txz
20:29.56nox-heh well but i dont have decomression yet as i said :)
20:30.02EthanGya :)
20:30.38EthanGand mostly I want some fast decompressor on my zaurus, but there's probably other issues there like context switch time slowing down the pipe, perhaps
20:31.07nox-this is more useful if you want to create things like larg(ish) tarballs that are also compressed well...
20:31.25EthanGright
20:32.30nox-http://youtube.com/watch?v=RlVpPstLPEc
20:32.42nox-and thats i talk i watched that made me get the book :)
20:32.56EthanGah ok :)
