PuercoPope: that's fairly reasonable, as is having JSCL compile to an IR and have WASM interpret the IR.

PuercoPope
jasom: The 'IR' (or would AST be more accurate) is fairly close to JS and depends on having its data-types. Don't think it would be easy to write a wasm interpreter for that

I was able to hack together a build script for these font variants in a few hours, whereas I have no idea how I would have done it without Roswell.

I think a script should be two forms: load the system, apply a function with command line args.. the rest belongs in the system, which can be depended upon by other lisp code

anyway, been using terminus (with modified lambda) for a decade now, methinks.. all other fonts are unbearable :d
2:16:57
_death
if you change the font size it looks very different.. I started with a smaller size but years take a toll

In a script, you must have a read eval loop, such as the reading and evaluation of later forms DEPENDS on the evaluation of earlier forms.

pjb
If you don't have it or don't need it, then you have a mere program that you can pre-compile.

Note: cl-launch doesn't allows you to make scripts, since it wants to compile your source before running it!
2:29:23
pjb
(this is the reason why in the end, I don't use, and cave in, and just transformed all my scripts into mere programs).
2:36:09
pjb
_death: well, sometimes you want scripts. For example, when you need to adapt, at run-time, to the environment.

Does it make sense that (local-time:parse-timestring "2020-01-01") -> @2019-12-31T19:00:00.000000-05:00
4:12:27
drmeister
Hmm, maybe that's why - maybe I'm parsing 2020-01-01 in GMT and I'm in EST and so it's printing 2020-01-01/GMT in EST and the world is a sphere?
4:14:19
ck_
but it's the other way around, you're parsing 2020-01-01 as EST, which gets printed as GMT-offset
4:16:32
drmeister
If I parse 2020-01-01 midnight EST wouldn't that be 2020-01-01 5:00 am in the GST timezone?

All I'm sure about is you europeans disappear from IRC in my evening and show up just before I collapse in bed. :-)

If I force my timezone to UTC then parsing and printing gives the expected result.
4:23:32
ck_
and what does the '@' signify in the line you pasted here a moment ago? on that paste, the 'z' is for zulu / utc, right
4:42:11

The Naggum paper explains it. If I provide the date but not the time I get ... "absolute time with time omitted, defaulting to 00:00:00Z."
4:43:03
drmeister
That's what I get for my pollyanna assumption that by leaving out the time it would just assume my timezone.
5:17:02
ck_
so the "-05:00" is a timezone signifier instead of an offset? I don't think I've ever seen that before
