This group -- and the project -- has lain dormant for quite some time now. I don't really know what it would take for me to get it back on track, but I thought...

... If you can tell me what they mean in *English*, I might be able to give it a shot. But 'cat', 'grep', 'ls', 'pwd', 'mv'...there's not a lot of basis for...
... Maybe. I rather liked SPQL as a pun on SQL, though. ... It definitely would be more trouble than it's worth to redefine the filesystem. However, I do wish...
... Okay, here's the basics: cat = conCATenate. The actual function of the command is to stick two files together, but the way it's usually used simply sticks...
Other commands not to forget: cp - CoPy a file to another location or name rm - ReMove a file ln - create a LiNk to a file (like a shortcut or alias in Win or...

... (yawn) Has it been that long? Let me guess -- you want to know why I haven't done much with var'aq? Well... I actually had someone writing me about the ...
Have you seen the programming language Water at http://www.waterlang.org? It does some nifty things with vectors and objects that may make it ideal for rapid...
Afternoon! My name's Scott, but OL I mostly go by ngabwI'. I ran into the varaq page about a year ago, but was busy with C++, so I did not delve into it too...
... No, but you're hereby invited to make notes as you learn, and write it. ... Exactly the sort of person who needs to learn about compilers and functional...
... Thank you, I will. ... So will my prior experience help me or hinder me in this? (Don't worry about discouraging me. I love a challenge, esp. one like...
Ooh. You're gonna make us work for it. That's okay. We probably need the exercise. :) ... Yes. In some regards, programming is programming. At least until...
... don't ... That was me! I am doing var'aq in Water now. Water has vectors that can be used for the stack and for lists. It also has a generic <thing />...
... Of course it is. :) Brian took the time to add those four lines to the spec, it's up to us to implement it. Of course, if you're not doing type checking...
BTW, I really enjoy Scott's posts, but I don't think he will be with us for long--his tlhIngan name means "one who disappears" or "The Invisible Man" or "The...

Has anyone actually done a var'aq program using the wIv operator other than something trivial? This is pseudocode: {true} wIv { "True" cha' } HIja'chugh {...
K, now perl's up and running, and I'm trying out the stuff in gettingstarted. The math functions work just fine, but when I try to do a countdown {toghHa'} I...

I found the solution to most of my own questions not long after I e-mailed this message. As I've been told again and again, RTFM. Sorry about that, Scott ...
... Probably not. :) I always expected that wIv was used with a tam (exch) at the end of the HIja'chughwI'. Doesn't get around the problem if that needed to...
