(18:20:25) mischief: hi (18:21:21) leetspete1: Hello. (18:25:59) mischief: where can i find a good primer on limbo programming? (18:28:13) Code_Man`: try this (18:28:13) Code_Man`: http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/papers/descent.html (18:28:33) Code_Man`: havent read it tough so i dont know how good it is but should be just fine (18:52:46) mischief: i'm looking at porting spree to go. (19:21:13) yiyus left the room (quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer). (19:21:49) leetspete: The Descent paper is pretty good, but it's just an overview. (19:22:47) leetspete: There's the PDF, it's fine, but a little out of date. (19:22:59) leetspete: The best primer is in /appl/cmd. :) (19:24:07) mischief: it seems like there are very few comments in the limbo source (19:27:01) leetspete: Yep. That's why /appl/cmd is good; you know what uniq(1) does, for example, so it's not a difficult read. (19:30:03) crank left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 260 seconds).

(19:49:37) leetspete1: One's a linked list, the other's an array. (19:50:33) leetspete1: You can destructively modify an array, random access is O(1), etc. (20:20:42) mischief: how do i run the chat spree example?
