00:00 < saracen> I would be greatful if somebody would point out my mistake
with this equation for calculating S for the SRP protocol.  I've added the test
vectors from the RFC, but I get an incorrect result: http://pastie.org/1891155
00:10 < Kafo> When you calculate t1, shouldn't you have nil instead of N in
the last .Exp(g, x, N) ?
00:10 < Kafo> Because that "% N" is only at the end of the formula, not
after g^x
00:11 < saracen> I've tried, apparently not.  It just locks up when using
nil because the numbers are so large.
00:11 < Kafo> Hmm
00:12 < saracen> I've also tried converting this javascript example of the
algorithm: http://pastie.org/1891179
00:12 < saracen> You'll see it uses mod N twice, too
00:13 < saracen> and that js version works.  My porting of it to go didn't
:(
00:14 < saracen> I've checked to see if it was an endian problem.  But it
isn't, the other equations from the test vectors work
00:15 < Kafo> Check the js values after every equation and check where it
goes wrong?  :o

03:44 < fheller> Does go have enumerated constants, like in C or Java?  If
not is the best practice 'constant ( ...  = iota ...  )'?  I am building a state
machine and I want to specify the states--in other langs I would use enum.
03:47 < dfc> fheller: i do something like this
03:47 < dfc> type Fooer int
03:47 < dfc> const ( FIRST Fooer = 1 )
03:48 < dfc> iota is also very smart in figuring out those sequences
03:48 < dfc> grep through the source for good examples of its use (its far
to clever for me)
03:48 < fheller> Ah, so for all the "we don't type constants" you can
actually type constants--thanks.
03:49 < dfc> yes ...  (he says cautiously)
03:49 < dfc> contant types are "optional"
03:49 < dfc> others may be able out describe it better

03:50 < dfc> http://golang.org/doc/go_spec.html#Constant_declarations
03:50 < dfc> [Type] is optional
03:50 < fheller> You have answered my question perfectly.  My program will
now be more readable for it.
03:50 < dfc> according to the spec "If the type is omitted, the constants
take the individual types of the corresponding expressions."
03:50 < dfc> which is useful
03:50 < dfc> because you can do something like
03:51 < dfc> const ( SECONDS = 2^6)
03:51 < dfc> then time.Sleep(4 * SECONDS)
03:51 < dfc> without having to declare SECONDS (or 4 for that matter) as a
uint64
03:51 < fheller> dfc: Indeed, I agree it's useful (switch precision of
floating point), but I want people (mainly me) to know that these constants are
part of the state machine and that they better get with the program.
03:51 -!- Tonnerre [tonnerre@netbsd/developer/tonnerre] has joined #go-nuts
03:51 < dfc> yup
03:51 < dfc> i have the same requirements
03:52 < dfc> using a typed constant
03:52 < dfc> and declaring a new type
03:52 < dfc> type MyInt int
03:52 < dfc> gets you most of the wya there
03:52 < dfc> but doesn't bound the set of possible values to only those in
the const declaration
03:52 < dfc> someone can always convert a standard int to your new type
03:53 < dfc> switch MyInt(999) { }
03:53 < dfc> possibly making your new type package private, type myInt int
03:53 < dfc> would work in some cases
03:54 < fheller> dfc: Good stuff.  I have to read more on the implicit type
conversions.  I just got started on Go today.
03:55 < dfc> fheller: good to hear, i hope you enjoy it

03:56 < fheller> dfc: What I really want is to build web applications.  The
state machine is for a lexer.  I don't like template languages.  One of the
lessons people learned in PHP is that template languages to do complex things are
dumb when you have PHP.  What I want is <?go tags embedded in HTML.  I'm making
a tool to pre-process Go-infested HTML files and turn it into compiled code.
03:57 < dfc> interesting
03:57 < fheller> dfc: Do you know of anything that does this already?
03:57 < dfc>
http://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts/search?group=golang-nuts&q=golex&qt_g=Search+this+group
03:58 < dfc> the word lex has appeared a few times on the mailing list

03:59 < fheller> dfc: Thanks for the pointer.  I'm checking this out now.  I
feel am close to compiled web pages which will be H A W T.
04:00 < dfc> post it here or to the mailing list
04:01 < dfc> i'm sure there will be others that are intersted to hear it
04:01 < fheller> dfc: I hope so--maybe they can help me find all bugs.

06:37 < czakian> hey I am trying to learn go and I am getting an index out
of range error on a slice
06:37 < czakian> the slice is inside a struct
06:37 < czakian> and I am trying to implement a simple stack
06:38 < czakian> and to do a push
06:38 < czakian> I do say
06:38 < czakian> stk.slice[0] = 1
06:38 < czakian> when cap(stk.slice) is 10
06:39 < czakian> however, if I do
06:39 < czakian> slice := stk.slice[0:2]
06:39 < czakian> slice[0] = 1
06:39 < czakian> it will do the assignment with no error
06:39 < czakian> why is this?

06:44 < czakian> code at http://pastie.org/1891993
06:48 < wrtp> czakian: the len is the important thing for assigning to slice
elements, not the cap
06:48 < krutcha_> try changing stk.slice = make([]stack, 0, 10) to stk.slice
= make([]stack, 1, 10)
06:49 < wrtp> czakian: BTW, you can easily implement push as: stk.slice =
append(stk.slice, elem)
06:50 < wrtp> then pop is: func (s *stk) pop() item {i :=
s.slice[len(s.slice)-1]; s.slice = s.slice[0:len(s.slice)-1]; return i}
06:50 < czakian> nice that worked
06:50 < czakian> oh cool that makes sense

10:36 < merijn> Do functions which return multiple values just return a
tuple (like you would in most functional languages or python) and if so can you
use those in other contexts too, or is the entire thing handled as a special case
for functions?
10:36 < Namegduf> No.
10:36 < Namegduf> Go does not have tuples.
10:37 < vegai> wut
10:37 < genbattle> go just has arrays and slices
10:37 < Namegduf> It's not returning a single value but wrapping multiple
values, it's actually returning multiple values.

11:23 < genbattle> merijn: I know you still have to dereference the pointer

11:23 < genbattle> it doesn't connect the dots for you on that one

12:30 < hallas> You can have closures as well
12:30 < hallas> And a function with a capitalized name is public to the

Effective Go did show an anonymous closure for use with goroutines.  So I guess
I'll just have to examine the spec about the exact details
12:33 < hallas> Go has extremely good documentation if you ask me
12:34 < hallas> It's open source, the language design speccs are there

13:19 < taruti> the type system is somewhat depressing
13:22 < wrtp> taruti: why so?
13:22 < wrtp> because it doesn't have universal types?
13:22 < Namegduf> On onehand, it's simple and limited.  On the other, the
*point* is to effectively express algorithms and functionality, not spend time
mucking with metafuckery
13:22 < Namegduf> So a complex type system would probably be
counterproductive
13:23 < taruti> wrtp: lack of parametrized types
13:23 < hallas> Namegduf: whats the other hand?
13:23 < hallas> Oh
13:23 < hallas> Nvm ;)
13:24 < wrtp> taruti: thought so.  but the language is very useful as is,
and it would be so easy to ruin it with a bad choice of syntax or semantics
13:24 < wrtp> i haven't seen a remotely decent proposal for implementing
parameterized types in go yet
13:25 < taruti> I know the semantics are hard, but currently it is very hard
to write nice combinators
13:25 < gmilleramilar> wrtp: can you summarize your objections to any
existing proposals?
13:25 < Namegduf> I don't know what a combinator is, but I doubt it's a kind
of application
13:25 < wrtp> taruti: you don't need to write higher order programs :-)
13:25 < Namegduf> :P
13:25 < Namegduf> It's also hard in Go to write object hierarchies
13:25 < wrtp> gmilleramilar: they don't integrate current interfaces well
13:26 < gmilleramilar> meaning they would require rewrites of existing code
or changes to the spec?
13:26 < Namegduf> Is it actually feasible to "summarise objections" to *all*
existing proposals as one thing?
13:26 < Namegduf> I mean surely you'd have to have a specific proposal to
examine.
13:26 < Namegduf> Most requests for "generics plz" never even reach the
point of a proposal to examine
13:26 < jnwhiteh> clearly you need more superpowers
13:27 < gmilleramilar> ok then name a few and give your objections :)
13:27 < wrtp> Namegduf: put it this way: i haven't yet seen a single
proposal that addressed that issue well
13:28 < wrtp> gmilleramilar: meaning they wouldn't work well alongside
interfaces - the two concepts must be "meet in the middle" for generics to be
truly orthogonal
13:29 < wrtp> every generics proposal i've seen is a straight rip off some
existing language.
13:29 < wrtp> and go is a bit different
13:30 < merijn> Namegduf: A combinator is just an abstract concept of "thing
which can be combined".  For example a parser combinator library would let you
construct a syntax parser by combining lots smaller parsers to create a more
complex one.  (As opposed to, for example, (f)lex where you have to define the
entire thing in one go)
13:30 < taruti> wrtp: I think ml-style parametrized modules could be sane
13:31 < hallas> Point is
13:31 < wrtp> taruti: but parameterized modules aren't great without
parameterized functions and types too...
13:31 -!- rj_ac [~rj_ac@c-24-0-154-1.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has joined #go-nuts
13:31 < wrtp> and you've still got to say how generic types interact with
interfaces
13:32 < wrtp> if i convert a parameterized type to interface{}, what's it's
concrete type?
13:32 < merijn> To be fair, I don't think Go (as far as I've seen it so far)
is that suited to parameterized types and such
13:33 < hallas> Alot of the generics or what most people would agree is
delicious in other languages probably already have been examined for
implementation in Go. And was deemed not needed.  So you really have to look at
completely new ways of doing things if they're to be added in go
13:33 < wrtp> merijn: i think it could work
13:33 < Namegduf> merijn: Right, it's an abstract concept
13:33 < taruti> wrtp: in that way the types would be unparametrized
13:33 < Namegduf> Go is not a language for the expression of abstract
concepts
13:33 < Namegduf> That would be English
13:33 < Namegduf> That was my point
13:33 < Namegduf> It being hard to express a given abstract concept doesn't
mean anything for its ability to do its job
13:34 < merijn> All programming languages are by definition for expressing
abstract concepts...
13:34 < Namegduf> Not arbitrary abstract concepts.
13:34 < Namegduf> I would say "for expressing algorithms"
13:34 < wrtp> taruti: what about func X[T](t T) {var x interface{} = t; t =
x.(T) } ?
13:34 < Namegduf> Some languages may focus on other areas, I guess
13:35 < Namegduf> But that doesn't mean all languages do.
13:35 < wrtp> taruti: if the types are unparameterized by putting them in an
interface, you can't get them out again
13:35 < merijn> Namegduf: The point is that combinators can be a more
convenient way of expressing an algorithm
13:35 < wrtp> and if you can, you've broken the type system
13:35 < Namegduf> merijn: In Go, apparently not.
13:35 < Namegduf> merijn: That says nothing about whether there is a
convenient way to express that algorithm in Go.
13:35 < Namegduf> Just that combinators aren't it.
13:36 < wrtp> merijn: naah, programming languages are for doing stuff
13:36 < Namegduf> Actual problems which are hard to express are interesting
13:36 < wrtp> merijn: abstract concepts are just a way of going about it
13:36 < taruti> wrtp: yeses, one can because the *module* would be the unit
of parametrization
13:36 < Namegduf> An inability to express an algorithm through a given
method isn't
13:36 < Namegduf> Languages which try to make every approach possible turn
into C++ and Ruby
13:36 < merijn> Namegduf: I agree, I don't particularly think Go needs
combinators or higher-order programming, mostly because I don't think its suited
as a high level language anyway
13:37 < wrtp> taruti: what level does a module come at?  package level?
13:38 < taruti> wrtp: package
13:38 < hallas> Lets see some actual concepts in Go where some other
abstraction could make things easier
13:38 < merijn> Which is fine, we have plenty of decent high level languages
at the moment.  It's sane systems languages which are lacking, in which case it
seems an excellent option.  More convenient then C at a slight decrease in
performance
13:39 < wrtp> taruti: i think you'd get the same problem at package level
13:39 < Namegduf> merijn: Sounds good to me.
13:39 < jeremy_c>
https://github.com/timtadh/goplay/blob/master/generic_stack/stack/stack.go ...  an
example of "generics"
13:39 < wrtp> taruti: if assigning to an interface loses the
parameterisation, you can never get the value back
13:40 < Namegduf> I find Go is good at writing things quickly, as well as
safely, and so would just use it as a good combination of both for "high level"
functions
13:40 < Namegduf> But I can see that it isn't optimised for some things that
some languages are, like prototyping or generic type...  stuff doing.
13:43 < wrtp> taruti: you can often do generic-like stuff with reflect -
even though you don't get the type checking at compile time, you can often type
check up front so you get any error when the program starts
13:44 < wrtp> taruti: here's an example of the kind of thing i mean:
rog-go.googlecode.com/hg/values
13:44 < wrtp> netchan is another example
13:46 < taruti> reflect is an ugly way to do it
13:48 < wrtp> taruti: it works though

So I'm not switching to tabby yet.
14:09 < nictuku> the main thing it helps for me is:
14:09 < nictuku> go projects usually have many many files.  tabby lets you
open all files recursively in the directory, and switching between them is super
fast.

15:24 < wrtp> or if the button sets a "variable" that can be read by any
readers
15:24 < exch> that goroutine will need to poll the channel.  and thus is an
event loop.  and you'd need one of those for all controls, or pol all cntrols in
that same goroutine
15:24 < wrtp> yeah, of course you need loops dealing with events
15:25 < wrtp> but the conventional design is to have a *single* such loop

with a simple control flow

18:12 < justinlilly> skelterjohn: emacs24 (the latest) offers a cocoa build
(ie: mac native).  Is also fetchable via homebrew.
18:12 < justinlilly> err..  s/the latest/trunk version/
18:12 < skelterjohn> os x comes with an emacs
18:12 < skelterjohn> but aquamacs is very nice
18:12 < skelterjohn> works well with the overall UI
18:12 < justinlilly> the os x version, as with many of their packages, is a
little broken.
18:13 < justinlilly> cool.  if you're happy with it then by all means keep
using it.  24 has some neat features though, like package.el by default.
18:13 < justinlilly> (an emacs package management system for adding modes
and whatnot)

18:19 < aiju> simple software is best software

smaller binary size, 590k for the console and gui binary.  No Lisp involved

18:22 < skelterjohn> lisp is a pretty simple scripting language

18:23 < skelterjohn> airplanes are complex.  lisp is dead simple.

18:23 * jeremy_c is going flying this afternoon for his high-performance, complex
checkout ...  to be more off topic :-)
18:23 < skelterjohn> also note that "simple" and "obvious" are not the same

easier to code with

18:26 < ww> skelterjohn: no doubt, irssi doesn't help me balance brackets
like emacs does
18:26 < skelterjohn> but i contend that "obvious" is more important than
"simple" for a programming language
18:26 < skelterjohn> when you look at code it should be obvious what it does
18:26 < ww> obviously
18:26 < skelterjohn> when you have an algorithm in your head, it should be
obvious how to code it
18:26 < aiju> just type what you want to do
18:26 < jeremy_c> that would depend on what programming language you have in

19:08 < jeremy_c> Is there a go standard on how to deal with programmer
errors and your library?  For example, iup.Image(width, height int, content
[]byte)...  say they call iup.Image(0,0,emptyByteArray)..  That's invalid, or
iup.Image(1000,1000,oneByteInArray)....  invalid again.
19:08 < skelterjohn> return an os.Error

19:09 < skelterjohn> but ...  don't panic :)
19:09 < hallas> Well, there is also a question of patterns here
19:10 < hallas> You can use the os.Error to chain return the err through
your stack, like seen in quite many of the standard library
19:11 < hallas> Or, use the panic and recover functionality
19:11 < aiju> normally one should not recover
19:11 < skelterjohn> normally libraries don't panic
19:11 < hallas> I think returning an os Error is probably best design,
panicing and recovering is more of a hack
19:12 < skelterjohn> returning os.Error should definitely be your first
choice
19:13 < jeremy_c> I think I'll just os.Exit(1) :-D
19:13 < hallas> Don'
19:13 < hallas> Ehm..  dont, unless from your main func :D
19:14 < aiju> calling os.Exit is the worst thing you can do

20:49 < jeremy_c> gmilleramilar: how then would it know which of my packages
I want to install?  There are many repos under github.com/jcowgar
20:50 < gmilleramilar> each in its own directory?
20:50 < jeremy_c> each as it's own independent repo.
20:50 < gmilleramilar> ah sorry
20:51 < gmilleramilar> I thought iup.go was the name of a file
20:51 < gmilleramilar> try 'goinstall github.com/jcowgar/iup.go/iup'
20:51 < jeremy_c> yeah, I'm not sure that's a good name.
20:51 < gmilleramilar> goinstall needs to reference a sub-directory that has
exactly one package or executable in it.
20:52 < jeremy_c> hm, that got closer!  Compilation fails, all sorts of
undefined functions :-/ ...  cd to the dir, gomake and it compiles fine.
20:57 < jeremy_c> Looking at other packages I think iup.go should be renamed
to be go-iup
20:57 < jeremy_c> not that it has anything to do with my compile problem.

22:27 < KirkMcDonald> I'm not sure what the best practice would be.
22:27 < KirkMcDonald> If A and B are logically related somehow, importing
"DIR/A" might make sense.
22:28 < KirkMcDonald> (Since it implies that you'd import "DIR/B", too.)
22:28 < nictuku> hmm
22:28 < KirkMcDonald> And, again, this would imply that "DIR" is some sort
of unique identifier describing how they are related.
22:29 < gmilleramilar> iant: the os.Pipe thing is working, however when the
child process exits, my Read() call is hanging

23:46 -!- xash [~xash@d065005.adsl.hansenet.de] has quit [Quit: Lost terminal]
23:47 < fheller> To make that into a page, I wrote a tool to convert that
into Go. Result: http://www.weirdspaceadventures.com/go/test.go
23:48 < fheller> This way, the template language is Go and compiled Go at
that.
23:48 < fheller> I was here yesterday and dfc helped me out
23:49 < KirkMcDonald> In truth I am not a fan of templates which contain
code.
23:50 < KirkMcDonald> At least not arbitrary code.
23:50 < nictuku> same here
23:50 < KirkMcDonald> Some minor flow control, perhaps some loops.
23:52 < fheller> I agree that you can get into trouble using this type of
design
23:52 -!- fmoo [~Adium@66.220.144.74] has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
23:53 < fheller> I already learned (am learning, day #2) Go, though.  I
don't want to learn a crazy template language.  Also, this -compiles to native
code-, which I really like.
23:53 < KirkMcDonald> It's entirely possible to compile other template
languages.
23:53 -!- fmoo [~Adium@66.220.144.74] has joined #go-nuts
23:53 < KirkMcDonald> That's how most things in Python work, at least.  The
template compiles to Python, which is executed.
23:54 < KirkMcDonald> No reason you can't do the same thing in any other
language.
23:54 < nictuku> fheller, you did look at Go's own template package?
23:54 < nictuku> it compiles to native code, and it's super easy to use.
23:54 -!- GeertJohan [~Squarc@D978EC5D.cm-3-1d.dynamic.ziggo.nl] has quit [Quit:
Leaving.]
23:54 < fheller> Yeah, I took a look at the examples and the binding.
Please tell me if I'm missing something huge
23:55 < nictuku> you might argue it's limited, but as KirkMcDonald was
saying most people don't want a templating language to be powerful.  All logic
should be in the code passing data to the template.
23:56 < KirkMcDonald> There are several reasons for this.
23:57 < KirkMcDonald> One is a simple separation of concerns.  Logic belongs
in code, templates describe lots of things which aren't application logic.
23:57 < KirkMcDonald> Another is localization and translation.
23:59 < fheller> nituku: How are templates natively compiled?  I see the
Parse method which invokes no compiler that I can see.  What I mean is, the web
server does nothing more than required for serving a web page.
