Shen

2009-11-22T17:29:01Z

Hi,

It was suggested that Shen should be relocated to google code due to
license issues e.g.
QiII not seen as an open license and hence not possible to keep at
giithub, I let BoopCore
still be located at github, because I will dual license that code
because there are people who would work only in QiII and others who

resolving support and internet connection

2009-11-18T09:00:34Z

Just to warn that Lambda Associates may be offline for a temporary
period from next week as I sort out service problems from India. *
This is not a major permanent shutdown * and may not even occur, but
I'm simply warning people that this might happen because resolving
this stuff is more difficult from India.

I've now been running same tests and made a couple of examples where
the focus have been in the Yacc part and the segment part of the code
as well as a General Streaming method.

as an example I did a parser for a toy lang. and then created a
modified list stream that
added the capabilities to let the line column and depth be kept in

einstein riddle

Hi,

I've been busy coding for some time. I now have a working basic
framework. This framework can be used to combine backtracking and
unifications to builed prolog like features. E.g. in my view a natural
building block to spark Shen from.

The last couple of week's I've been focusing in understanding how to

Hi folks,

Does somebody work on porting Qi to Clozure CL?

Productivity vs Mod Queues

2009-09-09T01:02:34Z

This message is for the moderator, not for Qilang. So I suggest you
delete it after you've read it.

I find it very counter-productive that I have to wait hours (or days?)
before my questions may even be modded-published to the list. And
then, I shall wait hours (or days?) before any answer reaches me. In

Need more eyes on two small Qi-YACC parsers

2009-09-08T19:16:49Z

=== 1 ===
What's wrong with my parser?

(defcc <rule>
<sn> <sym>;)

(defcc <sym>
symbol;)

(defcc <sn>
-*- := (if (number? -*-)
[-*-]
(error "~A is not a number" -*-)))

(compile <rule> [[1] symbol])
error: [1] is not a number

Isn't -*- supposed to be the head of [1], thus 1? And, consequently:

Qi + slime + emacs = love

2009-09-08T16:19:26Z

I finally got slime + emacs working for Qi. If you're not familiar
with slime it eases common lisp development a lot IMHO.

with SBCL running I ran the following:
(require 'swank)
(load "install.lsp")

now the Qi.core has swank loaded and ready to go. In my ~/.emacs I
made:

(defun qi-init-cmd (port-filename coding-system)

restoring direction to qilang

2009-09-08T12:58:21Z

This is a quite important message and concerns the future of qilang,
Qi, Shen and a lot of what has been going on in the last two weeks.
It was going to be a post; but was too long. You can read what I have
to say here. It is about restoring the direction of this group and
Lambda Associates.

Qi question on StackOverflow

2009-09-04T19:34:45Z

I've just asked my first Qi programming question on StackOverflow. I
don't see why such kind of questions should be answered on any mailing
list when there's much better services out there for Q&A purposes.
Although my question is more Qi-YACC-related than Qi-related, it's
still the first question tagged "Qi" on the site.

lisp-form.qi

2009-09-02T20:46:12Z

I added the code for translating to clojure in the repo in the file
lisp-form.qi

It's in a mess, just wanted to show that I have done some serious work
in trying to translate to
clojure. I don't like the state of it so in the end It needs to be
rewritten, also the implications of
the unified code in core.qi. and associated files has not yielded

I will now stop at adding features to the reduce functionality and

some suggestions for Shen

1. Programmable pattern-matching
______________________________ ___

As Stefan has pointed out reduce-help is the key to programmable
pattern-matching. You need a facility something like this.

(pattern :recognisor cons?
:constructor cons
:selectors [head tail])

This declaration needs to be guaranteed type secure. Assuming that

core.qi

2009-08-26T21:45:47Z

Hi,

This is a description of what I reasoned out of core.qi.

1. There should be a unifying notion of a define and a define lambda
that unifies
streaming unification matching parsing segmenting. The core function
is reduce-help
and it's here I'm working on getting all these components together,
