What happens, when you join two paths in a language when the second one is an absolute one?

join("foo", "/bar")
returns "foo/bar" or "/bar"?

The wonderful @meisterluk wrote a great article about that you might want to read: https://lukas-prokop.at/articles/2024-05-03-filepath-join-behavior

I can not tell what version I'd actually prefer. There are situations where both versions would be "proper".

Uncommon opinion (but not necessarily unpopular): I love languages with large standard libraries. I enjoy flipping through the language documentation, scouting for interesting functions or classes that may eventually come in handy.

My favorite large library language is Common Lisp but of course there are many others such as Smalltalk, Python, and Java.

@amoroso it's very nice to not need any extra libraries. is great for interacting with the filesystem, batteries included.

ok, after all that kerfuffle let's have some fun:

Who built a Redis-like cache/data store/database (maybe protocol compatible?) for fun or shit-posting?
May that be in bash, awk, storing data in DNS, ...
Share your silly project!

@jer Perhaps it's worth pointing out that Redis itself started life as a prototype hacked up in Tcl, see https://gist.github.com/antirez/6ca04dd191bdb82aad9fb241013e88a8

La RATP choisie pour gérer le métro lyonnais

«Selon nos informations, le 28 mars prochain, le Sytral devrait confier la gestion du métro lyonnais à l'opérateur parisien, dans le cadre du nouveau marché. Keolis, l'actuel exploitant, continuera lui de gérer les bus. Les changements sont attendus pour début 2025.»

Newsgrouper - a web interface to Usenet Groups - https://cmacleod.me.uk/newsgrouper

This is a little project I've been working on for a few weeks. I think the basic functionality is now working, though there are still many aspects I hope to improve. Of course much of usenet is now a wasteland inhabited only by spammers and cranks. But there are still worthwhile corners, such as comp.lang.tcl, so I think this may have some value. 🙂

@lovebyteparty might be keen to dig up and revise an old talk about the language . The language of kings.

Or do a new one on .

Or maybe one about the (a very different demo party that is making a comeback this year).

I'm old enough to have begun using before , and in the first years, I used *nix (well, SunOS, Solaris, and Digital OSF/1, to say more precisely) for so long. I'm what nowadays is considered a Veteran Unix Admin or . I'm still curious enough to stay updated about current tech, but I wonder how many people out there in the are still passionate about tech novelties but even cultivate legacy knowledge such as #C, , , and , and above all why?

@gisgeek You call it legacy knowledge, I call it appreciating the classics. 😀

An awful lot of wheels get reinvented in the computing field, and often end up square. The number of genuinely useful innovations is quite small.

So I'm still hacking with because I find it more productive than the newer alternatives.

seemingly out of nowhere I've somehow found myself delving deeper into technologies that could be classified as "permacomputing"-friendly or adjacent. I've recently been doing a lot of reading and exploration on things like around redbean, lua, tcl/tk, c, portability, longevity, and "old" tech and can't help but get excited or overly curious about them.

In some alternate timeline, we're all using Tcl for browser scripting.

TypeTcl is actually not that different from TypeScript.

@tcltk @clacke @nixos @tcl interesting, how realistic Tcl can become a replacement for bash for building derivations and having phases, etc. ? (aka nixpkgs stdenv)

Did anyone try?

@fgaz@cdrom.tokyo avatar

@raito @tcltk @clacke @nixos I’ve been planning to try this since forever and I’ve been slowly packaging stuff to that end. and would go so well together!

The talk at reminded me of this again, but my list of ongoing side projects is a little too big at the moment 😅. Still, if anyone is working on it please let me know!
