@mfikes: any idea when we might be getting an async sh ?

@johanatan: I added a ticket for it so it’s “on the list” https://github.com/mfikes/planck/issues/313

Do you have any plans for planck-c to support Windows?

@johanatan: I’m just focused on Linux for now. But, the C code is fairly portable. It does in fact run successfully in the new Windows Subsystem for Linux, but I don’t know if that is truly useful.

Is there an equivalent of javascriptcore on windows?

[I'd imagine there's something driving WinJS under the hood]

Yes, I think JavaScriptCore exists for Windows, but I haven’t looked in a while.

Then it should be a matter of just getting everything plugged up properly no?

I'm getting the following error trying to build planck-c:

In file included from ./zip.h:1:
./zip.h:1:10: error: 'zip.h' file not found with <angled> include; use "quotes" instead
#include <zip.h>
         ^~~~~~~
         "zip.h"

Seems a bit curious for zip.h to be trying to include itself. Or is it another file by the same name which should be on the include path?

@johanatan: Yes, you need libzip. Instructions on how to get the deps set up on different OSs is in the README.md in the planck-c tree

And, at this point @hey_lu has practically single-handedly ported nearly all the Objective-C to C. 👏

Insanely awesome!

Has @hey_lu done the socket-repl as well?

If so, I might just attempt doing my socket thingy in Planck-c

@slipset: To address questions like that, there is a list being maintained here: https://github.com/mfikes/planck/wiki/Planck-C-TODOs

@slipset: The answer is no, he hasn't

Yeah, I saw that. Still wondering if I shouldn't brush upon my old c-skills and have a go. Let's see what next week brings...

Hah! Fortunately C is is both simple and difficult at the same time 🙂

But yeah, at this rate there’s no stopping Lucas evidently 🙂

It's a bit ironic, wanting to program Clojure makes me program C...

Btw, and very off topic, I got a position at Telenor, a Norwegian telco, doing full time Clojure. Will be starting 1st October.

@slipset: Sweet! But, October. Wow that’s a long way away.

Yeah, in Norway we have three months notice

Wow
