[14:35] <Wes-> ashb: example posted was just an example, that should really have been a "get lines" method on a stream or something
[14:37] <ashb> i still think it should be possible
[15:04] <Wes-> ashb: think this pattern would work? for (var I in X=generator) { consumeMany(X); dostuff(I)? }
[15:04] <Wes-> no, that couldn't work
[15:04] <Wes-> *hmm*
[15:05] <Wes-> var X=generator(); consumeMany(X); for (var I in X) { dostuff(I) }
[15:05] <Wes-> I wonder if *that* would work
[21:50] <kimoja> hello world :)
[22:41] <olivvv> Hi. Is it planned in one of the projects of commonjs to support the dom ?
[22:42] <ashb> olivvv: i'm working a DOM module right this second :D
[22:42] <olivvv> I could't find any mention of it
[22:42] <olivvv> which project ?
[22:42] <ashb> flusspferd
[22:42] <olivvv> excellent
[22:44] <olivvv> does C++ implies that it will be faster than java equivalents ?
[22:45] <ashb> should be
[22:45] <ashb> but who knows - there might be a java XML/DOM module writtne with JNI
[22:45] <olivvv> ok
[22:45] <olivvv> Are you avoiding the word "server" on your projectpage ?
[22:46] <ashb> not intentionally
[22:46] <ashb> we need to vie flusspferd.org a make over
[22:46] <olivvv> I'm not sure to understand what "Javascript bindings for C++" means
[22:47] <ashb> see http://juicejs.org for a better home page
[22:47] <ashb> olivvv: flusspferd originally started out as just a way of binding JS into a C++ program - i.e. using it scripting a game
[22:47] <ashb> then i got involved and shifted the focus to CommonJS/JS as a standalone langauge :)
[22:48] <ashb> olivvv: but yeah, hte website needs some love
[22:49] <olivvv> juicejs frightened me because of the template thing
[22:49] <olivvv> but if you are working on the implementation of the dom
[22:49] <ashb> yeah, we've changed that/made it plugable
[22:49] <ashb> you can now use what ever template system yo uwant
[22:51] <ashb> olivvv: you want some form of DOM/html template didn't you?
[22:51] <olivvv> I hate templates
[22:51] <olivvv> I've been coding a lot in smarty
[22:51] <olivvv> awful, boring
[22:52] <olivvv> thats the reason why I want the dom
[22:53] <olivvv> see smarty is a meta-language lower than php
[22:53] <olivvv> less features, strange syntax, limited abilities, doesn't scale
[22:54] <olivvv> but times passes and templates become bloated, unmanageable
[22:54] <ashb> fair enough
[22:54] <olivvv> the end result is a spagetti stuff
[22:55] <ashb> anyway - the next version of juice/hippo will have DOM/XML (and probably SAX, XPath too)
[22:55] <olivvv> when will it be available ?
[22:55] <ashb> 1 month. give or take
[22:56] <olivvv> cool
[23:09] * JohnnyL feels that common js would 'fly' if introduced to Apache and caching.
[23:10] <ashb> feh - Apache is old school ;)
[23:12] <JohnnyL> ashb well, it's what is 'in season' on most providers.
[23:12] <MisterN> ashb: you like committing yourself to difficult goals, eh? :)
[23:12] <ashb> MisterN: sure do!
