Hello,
I'm trying to compile the COLA distribution, just to know what it's like,
but I'm getting errors.
Here's what I did:
[code]
$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 11.10 \n \l
$ svn checkout http://piumarta.com/svn2/idst/tags/idst-376 fonc-stable
$ cd fonc-stable/
$ make
[/code]
I've posted the
Michael,
Thanks for your reply. I'm looking into it.
Best,
Martin

Isn't the cola basically irrelevant now? aren't they using maru instead?
(or rather isn't maru the renamed version of coke?)

Guys, I find these off_topic comments (as in not strictly about my idst
compilation problem) really interesting. Maybe I should start a new
thread? Something like «how can a newbie start playing with this
technology?». Thanks!

Julian,
Thanks, now I have a much better picture of the overall situation, although
I still have a lot of reading to do. I already had read a couple of Frank
progress reports, and some stuff about worlds, in the publications link you
mention. So I thought, this sounds great, how can I try this?
David,
Thanks for the link. Indeed, now I see how to run eval with .l example
files. There are also .k files, which I don't know how they differ from
those, except that .k files are called with ./eval filename.k while
.l files are called with ./eval repl.l filename.l where filename is
the name
Loup,
I agree that the Web is a mess. The original sin was to assume that people
would only want to connect to other computers in order to retrieve a
limited set of static documents. I think the reason for this was that
everyone sticked to the Unix security model, where everything you run has
all
Yes, namespaces provide a form of jargon, but that's clearly not enough.
If it were, there wouldn't be so many programming languages. You can't use,
say, Java imports to turn Java into Smalltalk, or Haskell or Nile. They
have different syntax and different semantics. But in the end you describe
Ah, thanks! :)

Julian,
I'm not sure I understand your proposal, but I do think what Google
does is not something trivial, straightforward or easy to automate. I
remember reading an article about Google's ranking strategy. IIRC,
they use the patterns of mutual linking between websites. So far, so
good. But then,
, etc. not to mention heavy thermal
pollution of water sources.
So there are definitely arguments on both sides of the ledger wrt eBooks.

Thanks, interesting link. But I have some questions and comments:
_ How much does an e-reader last?
The article says:
This means an iPad owner would need to offset 32.4 printed
books during the iPad’s lifetime to break even in terms of the carbon
footprint of reading those books.
But as far
I won't pretend I really know what I'm talking about, I'm just
guessing here, but don't you think the requirement for independent
and identically-distributed random variable data in Shannon's source
coding theorem may not be applicable to pictures, sounds or frame
sequences normally handled by
that is a description of random data, which granted, doesn't apply to most
(compressible) data.
that wasn't really the point though.
I thought the original point was that there's a clear-cut limit to how
much redundancy can be eliminated from computing environments, and
that thousand-fold
this is possible, but it assumes, essentially, that one doesn't run into
such a limit.
if one gets to a point where every fundamental concept is only ever
expressed once, and everything is built from preceding fundamental concepts,
then this is a limit, short of dropping fundamental
I've been reading a few more documents, and it seems that the first
step towards having something like Frank at home would be to get hold
of a Moshi Squeak image.
For instance, in Implementing DBJr with Worlds we can read:
Try It Yourself!
The following steps will recreate our demo. (Important:
Hi, shaun, sorry for the delay.
Ambi is apparently a concatenative, stack-based language, similar to
Cat. Those are interesting for their own reasons (and they also have
their own problems) but it's not exactly what I'm thinking of.
REBOL is much closer, but I would like to have more diversity
for your input.
