Took this quote from Alex Russell

Pretending constraints don't exist is not engineering, it's bullshitting.

@tonofcrates

Really enjoyed your video about the next generation of document languages.

Have you looked at Pollen? It is a DSL for Racket.

A more honest description is that Pollen allows users to design their own markdown language.

I think it is better suited for your needs than Scribble.

PS Joel Dueck worked pretty hard to have Pollen spit out good PDFs

My 2024 December Adventure has come to an end.

The goal was to investigate using Scheme with green threads in the browser.

I learned a lot and very much looking forward to the next release of #hoot

Got help getting #Fibers working on #Hoot on the browser. I think I finally have all the pieces for my Tic-Tac-Toe game with time travel.

Daily technical logging has helped me to keep on task. I will keep at it after this adventure is done.

December 11

Another try to use #Fibers channels with #Hoot for data-driven events.

The idea is to capture events, e.g., mouse clicks and send a message to a channel where the event is dispatched to change state corresponding to the event message.

A bit frustrated but reminding myself that programming in #Guile is artisanal, which is why I am using this language.

There is also a growing ecosystems of FOSS being written in #Guile. Using #Guile is important.

December 6:

It's the little things that matter: running the #hoot tutorial at the terminal REPL is not fun, so I got it running in Emacs by using geiser-connect to a guile REPL.

Now I can take advantage of all the nice parenthesis matching, Emacs shortcuts, Guile REPL affordances, etc.

I now have the setup needed for playing with #hoot

Additionally, read a bunch of the Wasm core spec. Dry but good content.

Day 3:

Reviewed the #Hoot manual, got the Guile-Hoot-FFI-demo running (trivial with Guix), looked at the Makefile and at GNU Make itself, and got a sense for how to use the Hoot Foreign Interface.

Very impressed by the project and the documentation/writeups.

Day 2:

Read the manual for #hoot to determine how to tackle my adventure. Will play with the REPL tomorrow.

It is early days for Hoot so lots of things to work around. I am really excited to be at the bleeding edge (as a user!)

Today I worked through the Guile Hoot tutorial.

My lack of real understanding of #Guix resulted in a wild goose-chase that led me to build NodeJS from source, but as a result I now have a better sense of how #Guile loads modules under #Guix.

I also enjoyed reading the entries of other participants.
