... I was just surfing this today. (And, it being my 3rd or so day with Io, feel free to summarily ignore me.) On my machine {{{System platform}}} returns...
My thought was, rather than pass in a flag, register an error handler object with the Socket. At the point of error, "set and return" the object with the error...
Right but the problem comes when the platform is something like MS Windows. Then you get ms which won't match anything and so it chooses so. I have a fix...
I'm not sure it makes sense to have an error handler run at the point of the error. How would the caller know what to do without having to understand the...
This is true; I wrote the System platform in this particular way because there are times when one wants to know this information. That said however, the...
... I've done something ... Interestingly, this works on my machine. I do not see a crash when running this code. I'm on windows using the build from: ...
... Seems to me that there should be two messages, then. One that returns a detailed string, and one that returns architecture or platform information....
... <snip> ... When you see this kind of behavior, that is the malloc library giving you diag messages repeatably on one platform but not on another, its...
The emacs io-mode we've got doesn't indent in a consistent way to me. I've attempted to start throwing together a better indent function. Keep in mind my lisp...
As I learn this language, I see a lot of code that uses the pattern: obj clone do( ... ) As clone doesn't currently seem to accept any arguments, it seems ...
This adds extra time to each clone, when for the common case, one doesn't immediately proceed the other (that is, it happens maybe 1 out of every 25 clones,...
... OK, that makes good sense. I didn't realize the ratio was like that, since most code snippets I've seen use it. It makes sense, however, that all...
Don't worry about asking questions, we receive them well, and it's really the only way you will learn sufficiently. If you want to stockpile them and ask them...
Why not make "Object withDo" method with the same semantics? Gavin is not the first one to ask for the functionality and plain "with" may be too overloaded in...
As I understand it, Io starts out with: Object->Lobby->Protos->Core->Object as the protos chain. Each time an addon (e.g. Range) is loaded, an object is...
Hi, Phrogz, I assume this is an isolation measure: the new objects being created are the ones passed to doFile as root objects, so that one addon does not mess...

Hey Chris, Thanks again for the CGI updates. I'm doing a push to get 100% documentation coverage for Io. Would you be willing to add the docs missing for some...
I've seen this. How are you building Io? I suggest that you use cygwin for your build environment and use the MSVS compiler (The 2005 express edition is...

From: Steve Dekorte ... For the archives, Steve and I discussed this further on IRC. Steve's point (as I understand it) is that an addon like "Regex"--that ...
