Maxim 9-Jan-2009 [9451] | makes the community aspect of R3 ubiquitous. |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9452] | for Docbase and curecode it's only open the browser |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9453] | Yup, that's why it's a link. RebDev is not going to be the final name for that though - I think it will be called "DevBase Chat". |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9454x2] | lol... docs: func [ "Browse on-line documentation." ][ print "Opening web browser..." browse http://www.rebol.net/wiki/R3_Alpha exit ] |
mwahahaha... very impressive... | |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9456] | Why not? It works :) |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9457] | yeah it works ;-) |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9458x2] | Those docs will be web indexable too, so they'll show up in search engines. |
And the CureCode access willl let yo see bugs when REBOL itself is too buggy to see them. I find that comforting. | |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9460] | I found the new fully integrated REBOL editor. editor: func [ "Write your code." ][ print "Opening Rebol editor..." launch "notepad" exit ] |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9461x2] | Again, whatever gets the release out the door. At least it's mezzanine - you can change it in your %user.r. |
The goal is to get more developers involved. That is why we focused on communications infrastructure: so we can handle more. | |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9463x2] | don't worry Brian, i think it"s good ideas |
even if it makes me smile a little | |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9465] | You might be shocked how much effort it takes to keep REBOL simple :) |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9466] | (btw for the others, the notepad editor is a joke) |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9467x2] | Well, you got me - I hadn't used the internal editor in years, so I just took your word for it :) |
Though I should have realized when you said launch instead of call. | |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9469] | and with no parameters too, y |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9470] | I'm still waiting on an answer about that INSERT of unset! values change in the 2.7 series... |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9471] | what should be the usage of unset! values in series ? |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9472] | I don't know. I know that if you need to have an unset! vale in a series, not being able to insert one would be a hassle. I just don't like the wrapper code that it requires sometimes (as in that MAP discussion). |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9473] | you can insert unset! as a word , it's enough |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9474] | Then it is a word, or perhaps a datatype. Sometimes you really need an unset! value - like if you *want* an error on eval. |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9475] | in many scripts i use unset! values to compose optionnals data (like in to a draw block). >> compose [ a b 1 (opt1) 2 c x (opt1)] with opt as empty blocks ot containing optionnal values |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9476] | That's nice, I agree :) |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9477] | so it's a problem |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9478] | If you compose an unset value, it still doesn't insert it. |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9479x4] | ah !? |
right ! | |
but not for reduce [()] it's inconsistent | |
IMHO | |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9483x2] | Right, it's supposed to be - that's why there are two functions. |
In 2.7.6: >> compose [a b c (()) d] == [a b c d] >> compose [a b c (#[unset!]) d] == [a b c d] >> compose [a b c ([#[unset!]]) d] == [a b c unset d] | |
Steeve 9-Jan-2009 [9485] | >> compose [a b c (reduce[()]) d] == [a b c unset! d] |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9486] | Yeah, I just tested that in R3 too. Note that unset! values mold differently in R3. The serialized constructor doesn't work yet either. |
Gabriele 9-Jan-2009 [9487] | Brian, the change in INSERT .. unset! may have been requested by Ladislav, but I don't really remember. I suspect it was intentional. |
Maxim 9-Jan-2009 [9488x4] | is there a newer meaner version of protect? |
one that CANT be unprotected? | |
cause right now, we can't ensure a word is never replaced by a malicious piece of code. | |
For example, I'd add quite a few protects in my user.r to ensure, no application tries to replace how LOAD and SAVE function... | |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9492] | Not yet. Modules are what is going to protect against malicious code, in theory. |
Maxim 9-Jan-2009 [9493x4] | but what about the actual global words.... |
I want to be able to protect many core words. | |
or rather, I'd like for those words to be protected, for my clients sake. | |
for example. | |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9497] | Once modules are implemented there will be no global words. |
Maxim 9-Jan-2009 [9498] | ok then, I'll keep my question for that phase then :-) |
BrianH 9-Jan-2009 [9499x2] | Please ask them then! |
Here's my favorite new REBOL 3 function: WHY? >> 1 / 0 ** Math error: Attempt to divide by zero ** Where: / ** Near: / 0 ** Note: use WHY? for more about this error >> why? Opening web browser... | |
