I'm building a Lisp, called Valutron. I am implementing its compiler-interpreter in Objective-C.
It has some unique features: first, it offers what are called V-expressions, an alternative notation for writing code. Second, it offers a comprehensive object system inspired mainly by that of SmallTalk-80, one of the earliest Object-Oriented languages, and by Common Lisp's CLOS, Common Lisp being the first object-oriented language to be standardised.
This object model is implemented atop the Objective-C runtime, which I have extended with support for Double Dispatch to enable the availability of CLOS' characteristics multimethods.

Without you illustrating your desired result I can't really tell you anything. You currently (in the picture) have three button like things which could be placed using absolute coordinates. If you want to place them relative to the window size use a GridLayout.
But I suggest you play around with the different layouts and get a feel for what they actually are, or read about them more. Then you can make the decision.
But if you want someone else to tell you offer a better description. Like throw out 4 different examples of desired situations.

I want the behavior of FlowLayout, but want one set of components to left-justified and the other set to be right-justified.
Basically, the components on the left will be "glued" to the left and their position will be relative to the left border (just like a FlowLayout(LEFT)); the components on the right will be "glued" the right and their position will be relative to the right border (like FlowLayout(RIGHT)).
Resizing the panel will increase/decrease the spacing between the two sets of components.

There's a reason that nobody writes in Smalltalk or Common Lisp; because they're old languages and modern languages have improved since then.

Sure, you can learn everything on your own. The problem is you need a lot discipline to educate yourself the way a university does. Besides that a university would offer group projects and train you to get into a proper development process for something like SE. A university will also introduce you to things you might not think of yourself. You'll also have to build a good portfolio instead of being able to just wave around a piece of paper. Don't underestimate the discipline part, it's easy to slack or get sidetracked if you're the one that sets the deadlines.

>>51564083
It is a Lisp.
My primary references in building Valutron are ISO/IEC 13816:2007 (Programming Language ISO LISP), from which I mainly draw from its description of ILOS, the object system it uses, and also Revised [6] Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme, from which I derive general inspiration as well as the semantics of continuations.
>>51564096
Here's a very simple example of VOM, the Valutron Object Model:// let's define a 'get-hello-world' generic
defgeneric get-hello-world (object some-object) => string;
// let's define a 'hello' class
defclass hello (object)
{
slot string hello : initarg hello:;
slot string world : accessor getWorld, initarg world:;
}
defmethod get-hello-world (hello some-object) => string
{
let result = copy(some-object.hello);
append(to: result, some-object.getWorld);
result
}
let aHello = make-instance (hello: "hello", world: "world");
// the dollar $ is an alternative form of method dispatch syntax;
// it passes its (left-associative) pre-component as first argument
let aLambda = { () => integer | print(stdio, aHello$get-hello-world()); };
aLambda();

How do you do that with arguments?
Because if I haveint fooTheStuff(int32 arg, real32 arg2, disgustinglyLongStructName* input, int (*fThe)(disgustinglyLongStructName)){
return fThe(input);
}
Or just many arguments I'd rather break it up like this.int fooTheStuff(int32 arg,
real32 arg2,
disgustinglyLongStructName* input,
int (*fThe)(disgustinglyLongStructName)){
return fThe(input);
}
Because this is easier to read for me. But there can be plenty of cases where the former example is there because they straddle my limit for how long I want args to be. I think I'd find this very hard with only parenthesis's. At the very least it doesn't make it as clear to me mentally. I see the braces begin in C and I seem them close. That makes it plenty clear what the function body is. But if I were to have this straddling case I don't feel nearly as sure anymore.
What's the case for not using braces? Why not make them optional? I haven't programmed in lisp obviously.

Available for use. But I was asked for a code example, and so thought it better to use V-expressions, the algebraic syntax available in Valutron, that I could show where Valutron offers differences. This is all explained in my original post.
>>51564488
The thing about Lisp is that its syntax is based around parenthesis so there is no concept of "braces".
Like, in JavaScript (I'm using it because its a dynamically typed language with curly braces) it might be:function foo (x, y) {
...
}
In Lisp it's like this:(define (foo x y)
...)
In Lisp you show nesting by indenting things correctly. And if a function takes a lot of long arguments, you indent the arguments to the same position(some function
that
takes
(a lot of)
arguments)

(defn width [rectangle]
(let [[[x1 y1] [x2 y2]] rectangle]

(contains-point? outer x2))
true

>>51564618

>>51564602
thanks
>>51564637
Makes sense.
Is there something like pep8/jslint for Clojure?
>>51564618
For function calls I (my personal style) indent every argument to the same column, but for syntactic things like 'if' or 'let', put everything 2 spaces in.(defn square? [rectangle]
(if (= (height rectangle)
(width rectangle))
true
false))
(defn area [rectangle]
(* (height rectangle)
(width rectangle)))
(defn contains-point? [rectangle point]
(let [[[x1 y1] [x2 y2]] rectangle
[x3 y3] point]
(if (and (<= x1 x3 x2)
(<= y1 y3 y2))
true
false)))
(defn contains-rectangle? [outer inner]
(let [[x1 x2] inner]
(if (and (contains-point? outer x1)
(contains-point? outer x2))
true
false)))
Note that "(if X true false)" is redundant, just write "X"
>>51564700
Seems like a 'good enough' style, and lacking any of my own, I'll adopt it. Thanks
>>51564543
I'm not sure I follow. Exactly how does lisp not have a concept of braces? Looking at(define (foo x y)
...)
It seems pretty clear to me that the opening paren (first character) is the brace equivalent here. It opens and closes the function.
Your second example seems very odd to me. Perhaps you could clarify it by labeling things more clearly. Because as is I can't really say if you're making the point I think you're making. I don't see any nesting going on except maybe(a lot of)
Which I can't really understand. (you're allowed to group arguments? Arguments can have names containing spaces?)

>Note that "(if X true false)" is redundant, just write "X"
Oh, and I know this, but the tutorial that I'm following has Midje tests which check the output for 'true' and 'false', so I have to explicity return those (I think).
Actually, now I think about that, I just assumed that to be the case, but false and nil are equivalent, right? And anything not nil/false = true. So the tests should pass either way...?
>>51564779
OK, just tested that, and they still pass when not explicity returning true/false.
Thanks!
>>51564762
I'm sorry.
In Lisp, () denotes a "list".
To evaluate a Lisp expression that is a list, it looks at the first item of the list. This first item is usually the function name that you are calling, which is why "(f x)" is equivalent to "f(x)" in other languages ("f" is the function being called).
Constructs like "if" are also just represented as lists. (if x y z) is essentially the same as "x ? y : z" or "if (x) { y } else { z }".
When you define a function, that definition syntax is again just a list. The special symbol "define" means that we are defining something.
(define <function signature>
<body>)
The (a lot of) example I gave was just to demonstrate indentation. In that example, the "some" function would be called. "(a lot of)" would also call the "a" function.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that. It seems neat on surface to have a syntax to say many different things and just change a keyword (or "symbol" as you call it) but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it in practice.
It's very compact for sure. Something many other languages fail at.
I was playing codingame's Clash of Code and just got keked hard by some fag writing Python. I was writing in C and got the task to reverse every word in a sentence (but not the entire sentence itself) and by the time I had finished typing in strtok and setting up my loop the fag was already finished.
Fuck scripting langauges.
>>51564896
The reason I say "symbol" is because 'define' is just like 'x' and 'f', they're all "symbols". The syntax has hardly any exceptions or inconsistencies.
The cool part about lists in Lisp is that in Lisp code you work with data that is of the same form that Lisp code is represented in.
Therefore it's very easy to implement a feature so that Lisp code may be generated by other Lisp code during compilation. Macros are what makes Lisp such a powerful language; because the language is so simple, and features may be added easily through macros, you end up with an infinitely powerful and expressive language.

The equivalent handwritten assembly binary is less than 1KB, but the "optimizing" GCC can't get it under 4.4.

Alright, I need help /g/entlemen. Say I want to do something to a variable via multiprocess. In UNIX, I've read that I'd need to use either shm_get() or mmap() but I didn't quite get how these work. Here's what I have#define N 4
int main () {
pid_t pids[N]
int i;
pid_t pid;
for(i = 0; i < N; i++) {
if((pids[i] = fork()) < 0) {
perror("Fork");
abort();
}
if(pids[i] == 0) {
//do something to a variable
//example: x++, but I want x to be visible/shared with all children processes
exit(1)
}
}
while(pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, 0)) {
if(errno == ECHILD) {
break;
}
}

in real life you use objects. like someone built a car for you (if you own a car), you probably didn't build yours from scratch. and it has a relatively simple interface for you to use it, with the gas pedal and steering wheel and such. when you want to start the engine, you just turn the key and it does all sorts of things automatically so you don't have to worry about the spark plug and whatnot. now take this concept of objects that you can use with a relatively simple interface into the programming world. that's Object Oriented Programmingâ„¢.

the parens were to keep better accuracy of the float additions so you get (a + b) + (c + d) instead of ((a + b) + c) + d
>>51566934
Ah that's also an excellent reason to write it that way. Though I think that due to the way processors work the compiler would make the same thing because it doesn't want order dependencies.

I think better color matching is a recursive problem

I'm pretty sure this has some side effects, but I'm not sure what. Also, it becomes a bit more difficult for images with sizes that aren't perfect powers of two.
Also for fast averaging of colors, you'll need to take different sample rates for different pixel sizes. Obviously when you're comparing the two full halves, you don't want to take EVERY pixel when you're determining average color. Take, say, every 10th pixel.

What's with all these "programmers" that don't follow established design patterns?
>>51566983
if a programmer types a input line of code thats because hes taking data from you

>>51566972
>I think better color matching is a recursive problem
Probably. Many people also worked center-out, which pushes all the left-over shit-colors off the center of focus.
That said, I managed to come up with a similar result to that first run in about 1/8th the time, because this solution doesn't check the entire palette, but now just takes a random sampling off the full palette (say 5k colors) and picks the best.
Still has the problem of leaving the shit colors, but much faster and nearly the same quality.
>>51566976
Still don't see where you're trying to set the name.
>>51566754
But you're ignoring everything that makes it bad and saying it's good.
Your program has one goal. Take data and turn it into other data. There's no other way to do things right now. You can't give your program an object. You can't cram a car into your computer. What you give it is data in some form. You take that information and do something with it and place it (in memory) to another form which is a desired result.
Nowhere along this process is an "object" as object orientation describes it appropriate representation. Even such a thing as function association is inappropriate and superfluous.

you can categorize your data, group them together and put them in an object. if you want a hamburger you don't start up a farm and raise cows, grow wheat etc and micro-manage the flow of the ingredients/data until you've made the finished burger, no you just buy a ready-made burger or at least ingredients that have been pre-processed to some degree. the same concept can be applied to any "object", real or virtual.

If it takes you that long to debug, your program is too complex or you aren't familiar enough with dynamic languages yet. Write unit tests to make up for the lack of typechecking. Also, having an interpreter at your disposal can make it really easy to find problems with your code.

Data oriented programming is the straightest way through the program. It enables the program to be the theoretically best program on the machine. If you want the best program in OOP you really have to dig deep into complicated stuff that just isn't there in a data oriented design. I respect the OOP programmers who can do this immensely but since the argument for OOP tends to be convenience. And the few instances where it could potentially "simplify things" is in places where your program doesn't have many requirements on it (since where it matters OOP is going to be an issue because of performance) almost any programming style works fairly well for those problems. That's not where a programmer faces his issues. And when the programmer face these issues (as we do for one reason or another) the OOP will likely cost more than non-OOP in one way or another.
Either the solution isn't great, you have a "de-OOP" layer where you allow access in a non-OOP way or change the data around to fit the part of the program you'd rather not OOP because of the issues.
Or you will have to structure your OOP to fit the data oriented design. And at that point the OOP will clearly have been a hindrance.
Because really, you can't work with computers without understanding the memory in some form. Doesn't matter what abstraction layer is in front of it. You have to understand what it looks like to do the right things. At some point you did touch that data and change it the way you wanted it to. If not you then it was your library that did it. After that you deal with references in some form or another. You want this part of the code to know about the data which you touched before. The object abstraction doesn't remove any of the work. And without knowing what work has been done you can't make any judgement about the next step to take.
I'm too tired to be writing stuff like this. Hopefully it makes some sense.
tl;dr is that the cases I've seen OOP work (stringently) are few.
Apparently a 2-pass method provides spooky output.

What did this person you remember do?
Only recently (3 months) have I been able to afford this shit again, since I came into a quite comfortable job.
Do you recall this name from the /g/ Infect thing?
>>51567617
I can handle using C, but that's about it. I mostly mean compile-time type checking as opposed to type safety, though.
>>51567620
>Write unit tests to make up for the lack of typechecking
Except if one thing goes wrong because of how a (standard library) function interacts with user input and I am not aware of that no unit test will properly cover that. Type checking limits the amount of possible states in a program, unit testing cannot do the same.

>>51567708
Unit tests are an industry-wide standard practice at this point. How else can you be certain that your code works? How do you know you introduced a significant change without breaking anything in a 2 million LOC project? I can't say I can take anything you say all that seriously if you think unit tests are anything besides a good thing.

it was in /dpt/. i think he posted with Jeff or something like that in the name field instead of Anonymous. iirc he did some beginner programming stuff and talked about coke in an excited manner.

ONLY unit tests can cover that.
Compile time checking doesn't help you at all with program logic especially not cases dependent on user input.

Nope, wasn't me.
I was the dude who made Infect.
I do enjoy cocaine though, but I've been programming since my single-digit ages.

>>51567845
it's absolutely plebeian to put so much focus on the tests when you should just write the code properly in the first place. design your program well and step through the logic of each individual part. then you test the program as a whole or a major component of it, not each individual function. how do you even know that the unit test covers everything? if you're able to know that a unit test is good to go, then how can you not know if a function is good to go? or do you write a unit test for the unit test for the unit test etc? but i guess if you're the data-oriented fag you have no concept of encapsulation.

what do you guys use to WAKEMEUPINSIDE? coffee kinda sucks. i've been trying alpha wave binaural beats and they do work, i get super productive but only for like a few hours and then i get super sleepy and sleep way too much.
>>51567890
No I mean that a standard library function has multiple return types, for example (as is the case with some of the functions I'm using). Type checking would prevent that from happening (or verify that I am using the return type correctly if I'm explicitly casting the values). Instead, dynamically typed languages defer the bug to runtime. A unit test cannot simulate every single runtime variable so it will never have the kind of coverage that a type checker would.

I drink 100 cups a day. And I know, caffeine is a drug, but really?
>>51567983
>if i write unit tests it will make my shitty python all fine and dandy!
>>51567973
No, type checking wouldn't help with that.
>A unit test cannot simulate every single runtime variable
Of course it can, there aren't an infinite number of cases.

if it doesn't work, go back and debug it. put some print statements in the appropriate places to check what's going on. don't need a unit test for that.
OOOH great example of a bug exclusive to dynamic type checking right here:
>using `let`
>switch functionality to something that should require `let*`
>identifier collision with 2 identifiers of completely different types
>program uses the wrong identifier, rather than warning me of a type error ahead of time (which would let me know that it is using the wrong variable)
>>51568021
a normal function has a^b combinations of inputs and outputs, where a is the number of values of the input type and b is the number of values of the output type. in a dynamically typed language, a and b become the number of possible values in the entire language, which is damn near infinite if you ask me.
>>51568057
>if it doesn't work, go back and debug it. put some print statements in the appropriate places to check what's going on
Unit tests are just automating that process.

and the coffee barely helps in the first place. like now i've just been wasting time on the internet, mostly on 4chan
>>51568014
Good code needs unit tests too.
>>51568065
>in a dynamically typed language, a and b become the number of possible values in the entire language
No.
Dynamically typed languages still knows about all possible types (it obviously has to, since it dispatches to different code depending on the type tag), it's a finite and quite small number, definitely feasible to enumerate and test all cases.
>>51568057
Yes, let's check the entire application manually by adding print statements in the whole code and going through it line by line with every change we make.
That'll save us time!
>>51568141
no you just check the most recently changed part because you know that everything else works 100%.
>>51568155
do you even write code
>>51568155
But you don't know if there are any regression bugs due to your changes, running tests that take a few seconds vs going in and adding print statements every time should be a no-brainer.
>>51568170

New shitty thread: >>51568507
so perl is neat, but i'm now learning that nobody uses it anymore.
what are the "hip" alternatives, and where do they shine. python and ruby come to mind, but i know little about them.
Basically, what scripting language should i really focus on learning?
