Re: [chuck-users] code reusability

Okay folks, It's hacky and slow, but it does technically work (on my Mac with Snow Leopard...) how to: 1) make sure chuck is installed ;) 2) unzip the archive, open a terminal window 3) cd /path/to/chuck-session-handler_v01 4) python csh-v1r0.py - notice that the script starts chuck and adds the setup.ck and mylib.ck files 5) open another terminal window 6) in that terminal window cd /path/to/chuck-session-handler_v01 7) chuck + test.ck 8) verify that the output (in the first window) prints "5 :(int)" 9) killall chuck 10) notice that the script reboots chuck and adds the setup.ck and mylib.ckfiles 11) chuck + test.ck 12) verify that the output (in the first window) prints "5 :(int)" 13) rinse, repeat... Questions, comments, concerns? I think that something like this could be very interesting as part of an incremental programming system that would keep track of the classes that were written and add them to the list of classes that are included in setup.ck. I think that this would be interesting for building and maintaining libraries for live-coding. Anyway, it's a start... of something. Best, Mike On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 2:57 PM, mike clemow wrote:

Yes, Joe, but if *I* write it in Perl, it will be crap code. :)

I'm working on a Python stub application for this session handler idea. We can use it as a basis and build on it, if you guys like it. What Andrew and I were talking about doing is actually quite different than what Scott Wheeler's original Perl script did. I'm much more interested in the session handler idea, but I'm sure there's a way to combine them. I personally don't think it makes much difference what language they two are written in as long as they play nice together.

I would be happy to help make something too, although I would say we should use Python for two reasons: 1) I know Python much better than Perl. 2) Python enforces much more legible code. Okay, well, I'll take a look at the Perl version; let's see what we can come up with.

By the way: good programmers enforce legible code, not languages. :) Programming languages can help out, but it's possible to write crap code in any language. Having written both, I think that writing good Perl does indeed require more discipline, but the power advantages (especially CPAN) help a lot. _______________________________________________ chuck-users mailing list chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users
