12:26 <montanonic> I found out about pony 1 hour ago (have been binge-researching concurrency-oriented languages) and just finished watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UkTnsXlZsc, but it's 5:20 AM and I have to sleep. Utterly tortuous. Having spent a good chunk of time with Haskell, and more recently jumping around exploring Elixir/Erlang (primarily), Rust, Clojure, and Go, Pony seems to be some fascinating synthesis of these things (+Haskel

12:26 <montanonic> l) and more. Super excited to learn more tomorrow.

20:38 <doublec> montanonic: great! Have fun kicking the tires.

20:38 <montanonic> thanks! :)

21:32 <SeanTAllen> montanonic: more links that might help https://pony.groups.io/g/user/wiki/Planet-Pony

21:32 <SeanTAllen> http://tutorial.ponylang.org

21:33 <SeanTAllen> http://patterns.ponylang.org

21:33 <montanonic> SeanTAllen: I'm going through the tutorial right this moment. Just got pony installed (I think). Thank you for the links!! :)

21:39 <SeanTAllen> We have plenty of sharp pointy edges. Ask away w questions here and on the mailing list

21:41 <montanonic> Sounds great, thank you.

21:42 <montanonic> I will

21:46 <montanonic> I installed with Docker (never used Docker before), and the command I tried to compile the helloworld example doesn't appear to be working. Here's the command and the error message: http://lpaste.net/7623781234908332032

21:49 <montanonic> Not sure if I'm supposed to be running that within the helloworld directory, or within the parent directory. I did the latter for that. Just tried again within the helloworld directory, and get the following: http://lpaste.net/1326788944754376704

22:19 <montanonic> For anyone who is using docker here, can you try compiling the helloworld example and pasting the correct command to use to get it to work? I'm still struggling to figure it out, and the docker commands from the tutorial don't seem to do the right thing.

22:19 <montanonic> s/work/compile

22:23 <Perelandric> montanonic: Hi, I don't use docker, but I notice in your first image that your path has a trailing '/'

22:23 <Perelandric> ...but the tutorial example doesn't

22:23 <Perelandric> ...I wonder if that could be the invalid character it complains about.

22:24 <montanonic> ah, you're right about that, but without the trailing slash I'm getting the error from the second paste

22:25 <montanonic> "no source files in package '.'"

22:25 <Perelandric> oh yes, I should have looked at that first

22:26 <montanonic> no worries; it's a different command in that one entirely, but both that and the command "sudo docker run -v helloworld:/src/main ponylang/ponyc" lead to the exact same result/error

22:37 <Perelandric> I'm curious about it, so I may give it a try in a VM in a little bit.

22:38 <mrkishi> Last time I tried, it was working fine, but that was a couple of weeks ago. Let me update my docker instance.

22:41 <montanonic> It's most plausible that I screwed up my docker install and/or just generally don't know what I'm doing :)

22:42 <montanonic> Perelandric: thank you :) take your time, I'm just reading through the tutorial, so of course no rush

22:56 <mrkishi> Hey, montanonic, my docker is still updating but I just realized you used "-v helloworld". Last time I used it, -v needed a full path.

22:57 <montanonic> mrkishi: let me try a full path then; tab autocomplete is what got me to the examples I showed, so I just figured they would be correct

22:58 <montanonic> aaannndd yep, that works, hah

22:58 <montanonic> mrkishi: thank you :)

22:58 <mrkishi> No problem ;)

22:58 <mrkishi> I remember being confused by that as well

22:59 <montanonic> if I press tab on the path, it turns it back into `sudo docker run -v helloworld/:/src/main ponylang/ponyc`

22:59 <montanonic> which is unfortunate

23:00 <mrkishi> Apparently it's been closed as "not possible" https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/15526

23:00 <montanonic> interesting

23:00 <montanonic> I'm going to go ahead and add a bit to that section and open a PR: https://github.com/ponylang/pony-tutorial/blob/master/getting-started/installation.md

23:01 <montanonic> I'm assuming that other people are like me and would be unfamiliar with Docker

23:01 <mrkishi> :1+:

23:13 <mrkishi> Ironically enough, I can't run it via docker on my windows box now.. Hahaha.

23:14 <mrkishi> Getting the "no source files" error. Works fine via Bash on Windows though.
