| attah | Wow, printers are buggy | 18:23 |
| Nico[m] | Yes, they have always been the worst component of computers | 18:23 |
| attah | What did i get myself into? | 18:25 |
| Nico[m] | Good luck? :D | 18:25 |
| attah | I'm thinking of my now-cluster-F app SeaPrint | 18:26 |
| abranson | i was shocked to find out the other day that postscript is based on Forth | 19:15 |
| attah | cool! | 19:15 |
| abranson | with data structures like Lisp | 19:16 |
| attah | did not know that | 19:16 |
| abranson | seems pretty apt for the mess that is printing to try to fix itself so esoterically | 19:16 |
| attah | were those languages really that esoteric in the pre-C world? | 19:17 |
| abranson | did it go through an XML phase before getting to this json thing | 19:17 |
| abranson | forth was always a bit of a hipster language iirc. i remember a home computer called the Jupiter Ace? | 19:17 |
| attah | hmm, xml/json? my app, or the evolution of remote printing in general? | 19:18 |
| abranson | remote printing. all that json comes from the printers, doesn't it? | 19:18 |
| attah | nope | 19:18 |
| attah | my codec | 19:18 |
| attah | IPP is binay-ish | 19:18 |
| abranson | oh right! careful trying to introduce sense into it. you'll be on HP's hit list. | 19:19 |
| attah | hehe | 19:19 |
| attah | i had to make my own binary handling lb for C++ first, before i could pull it off | 19:20 |
| abranson | served with a legal order to translate everything to haskell before people manage to understand what's going on | 19:20 |
| attah | ...aaand we're back... computer decided to freeze | 19:24 |
| attah | abranson: i was just going to say my day job is Erlang, so i could probably pull of something simple in Haskell | 19:24 |
| abranson | glad i didn't say Erlang then :D | 19:25 |
| attah | hehe, i'm used to it | 19:25 |
| attah | Functional programming has its upsides, but if it wasn't for the threading model, binary handling etc, i'd not be as sold on it being useful | 19:26 |
| attah | I had to make my own Erlang-imitation binary handling lib for C++ before i could get IPP working well | 19:28 |
| abranson | well if that's what floats your boat :D | 19:31 |
| attah | I honestly don't understand how people manage to do serialized protocols and interacting with another endianness without it | 19:32 |
