hi
<Dybbuk>
Hey there.
<two-face>
#ocaml is crowed tonight :)
cleverdra has quit ["Leaving"]
<MegaWatS>
heh maybe that is a good sign
<MegaWatS>
maybe the user-base is growing ;)
<two-face>
i hope so!
<Dybbuk>
I think it is. :)

My coworkers will be using it soon enough! Muahahahaha!

has already used Caml light but has never been tempted to smoke ;-)
<Dybbuk>
I'm going to write my next project in OCaml, which means they'll have to learn it in order to review my code.

ducks
<MegaWatS>
and your employer? what's he saying about that?
<Dybbuk>
He doesn't care what I use as long as it's better than what we've already got. :)
<Dybbuk>
And besides, my coworkers are excited about it, too.
<MegaWatS>
I see :)
<MegaWatS>
heh I hope I get to have that kind of work-place too once I get out of uni :p
<Dybbuk>
Well, a workplace like this has its advantages and its disadvantages.
<Dybbuk>
We don't tend towards organization, which is a pain in the ass.
<MegaWatS>
well anything for not having to code in c# no? ^^
<two-face>
MegaWatS: oh yeah
<Dybbuk>
Hehehe. :)
<Dybbuk>
Yes, good point!
<two-face>
there is one problem with c#, it is called M$
<MegaWatS>
actually I think there'll soon be a free implementation
<MegaWatS>
but still, the stranglehold C-like languages have on the market is kind of ... annoying
<MegaWatS>
they ARE good for certain kinds of tasks, but the kind of mindset that permeates the industry that functional languages- which would have really broad areas of applications -tend to be basically invisible

for games !
<MegaWatS>
for example
<MegaWatS>
for games, for compilers, for desktop applications ... especially for compilers imho btw
<two-face>
yeah
<MegaWatS>
I mean it's not as if it's a magical bullet that solves anything, there are certain areas where functional languages are far from the optimal solution
<Dybbuk>
Yes.
<two-face>
of course
<MegaWatS>
small-scale mostly text-processing apps like the typical unix tools, low-level stuff, certain types of desktop apps, video codecs
<MegaWatS>
etc
<Dybbuk>
I still don't quite grokk how to use a functional approach with OOP.
<MegaWatS>
actually that`s one of the most fascinating things I think about ocaml
<MegaWatS>
I've noticed I've started to use less and less inheritance-based designs
<Dybbuk>
It's fascinating indeed, but I still don't really get it yet.
<MegaWatS>
as they're starting to seem more and more braindamaged over time
<Dybbuk>
The project I'm going to be working on is a search tool for our product database.
<MegaWatS>
by now I'm almost always writing the class types explicitly at first as an interface design
<MegaWatS>
I see
<MegaWatS>
that's an area where I have, unfortunately, practically NO knowledge to speak of at all :>
<Dybbuk>
Well, I have just small amounts of knowledge. Right now, we are building complex SQL queries to handle product searches, but they get too expensive.
<Dybbuk>
We have to do multiple table joins, and expensive sql intersects.
<emu>
being a native english speaker probably means that I know the least about english
<two-face>
heh
<emu>
I didn't learn much about grammar until I took spanish
<Dybbuk>
I'm native. :)
<Dybbuk>
And my mom was an English teacher, so I know grammar!
<two-face>
is this sentence corrent "All those components are provided as separate packages."
<Dybbuk>
Yes.
<Dybbuk>
two-face: Spoken like a true Canadian.
<two-face>
good
<two-face>
Dybbuk: so, how would you improve it?
<Dybbuk>
two-face: I might stick an 'of' in there. "All of those components ..."
<emu>
of course, in context, it might not make sense as a separate sentence
<Dybbuk>
two-face: But really, both ways are equally correct.
<two-face>
Dybbuk: ok :)
<two-face>
Dybbuk: thx

<Yurik>
two-face: but a bit cold now
<two-face>
Yurik: :)

is finally designing communication protocol
<two-face>
Yurik: you design new protocols ?
<Yurik>
two-face: well, internal protocol
<Yurik>
two-face: for my project. i spent a lot of time thinking of what it should be. seems that i finally got something. or may be not :-) time will prove
<two-face>
what kind of protocols ?
