| 00:00.01 | mastergoon | plus regex was way slower |
| 00:00.25 | hash | but it's way more comfy for programming |
| 00:01.23 | hash | performance problems are only temporary, given Moore's Law |
| 00:01.25 | mastergoon | heh, im used to the C style syntax |
| 00:01.43 | mastergoon | lol what about my bank accts law? :P |
| 00:02.00 | hash | wait, and that expensive new powerful h/w gets cheap real fast |
| 00:02.09 | mastergoon | heh |
| 00:02.18 | mastergoon | by then parrot will be good hopefully |
| 00:03.56 | hash | parrot? |
| 00:04.08 | hash | is that a language? |
| 00:04.30 | mastergoon | its an interpreter |
| 00:04.43 | hash | for which language? |
| 00:04.43 | mastergoon | which will be used by perl6 and probably future version of python |
| 00:04.55 | mastergoon | its bytecode |
| 00:05.02 | mastergoon | http://www.parrotcode.org/ |
| 00:05.08 | hash | ahh, ok |
| 00:05.27 | hash | so one translates python or perl into parrot bytecode, and runs this code under the parrot interp? |
| 00:05.37 | mastergoon | yeah |
| 00:05.56 | hash | will it do java? |
| 00:06.00 | mastergoon | im not exactly sure what all the hype is but apparently its got something thats going to be way better than other interps, unsure :/ |
| 00:06.08 | mastergoon | its been on /. a few times |
| 00:08.01 | hash | i've been fighting the temptation to write The Spam Programming Language, where classes are expressed as 'business opportunities', functions/methods as 'special offers', I/O as porn and viagra, sockets as Nigerian money transfers etc |
| 03:46.10 | StuLTissimus | WWHOAMGLMAO @ Hash |
| 03:46.13 | StuLTissimus | >_> |
| 03:46.25 | StuLTissimus | Well, it wasn't that funny, but it was pretty funny. |
