but i get the idea
Kaj
10-Oct-2012
[1273]
Yeah, not very competitive with the BS code
Sujoy
10-Oct-2012
[1274x2]
well...the bs lib gzipped is 128kb...
and python is ~30MB
but yeah - its a lovely piece of work
Kaj
10-Oct-2012
[1276]
Still looks like it would be nice to have a REBOL implementation 
:-)
Sujoy
10-Oct-2012
[1277]
yes it certainly would

Kaj: 
love your r2 bindings for zeromq 
i've been trying to implement the push-pull ventilator example

ventilator:
REBOL []

do %zmq.r

pool: zmq/new-pool 1
socket: zmq/open pool zmq/push
zmq/serve socket tcp://*:5555

ventilate: func[][
  print "sending"
  u: form time/now/precise
  zmq/send socket to-binary u 0
]

wait 0:00:60 [
  ventilate
]

worker:
REBOL []

do %zmq.r

pool: zmq/new-pool 1
socket: zmq/open pool zmq/pull
zmq/connect socket tcp://*:5555

data: copy #{}

forever [
  zmq/receive socket data 0
  prin ["."] 
  print to-string data
]

...but the worker crashes
any idea why?
the weather update server works just fine...

Please excuse my ignorance but has rebol been open sourced yet?
Henrik

[1282]
Nicolas, the license is still being discussed.
Nicolas
11-Oct-2012
[1283x2]
Thanks. That's what I suspected but I wasn't sure.
Excited?
Henrik
11-Oct-2012
[1285]
Well, it will be interesting to see if we can finally get some movement 
on it, but Red is getting rather distracting.
Nicolas
11-Oct-2012
[1286x2]
Yeah, I'm playing with it now.
Still. I'm pretty excited to see the code.
Kaj

Sujoy, I only did a request/reply example so far, so I'll have to 
look into it
Sujoy

Thanks Kaj
i need to be able to get rebol working with push-pull, so i can get 
apps running behind zed shaw's mongrel2 server

there's nothing better than rebol for parsing - and i want to keep 
using rebol
any help hugely appreciated!
Kaj

I'm running Mongrel since several weeks, with Cheyenne and Fossil 
behind it
Sujoy
11-Oct-2012
[1292]
cool! so you have the mongrel pushing requests to Cheyenne?
Kaj
11-Oct-2012
[1293]
You could also run R2 code on Cheyenne, and use Mongrel as a proxy
Sujoy
11-Oct-2012
[1294x2]
yes - mongrel as a proxy is great, but i was thinking more in terms 
of zed's idea of a language agnostic web server
so some apps (or parts of apps) could be written in rebol
Kaj
11-Oct-2012
[1296]
Only as a proxy so far, I'm planning towards running Red and R3 0MQ 
servers as Mongrel apps
Sujoy

i noticed that the r3 bindings are much more stable than r2
r2 tends to crash with zmq
but i'm nervous about using r3...
Kaj
11-Oct-2012
[1299]
I haven't tested them much yet, but Janko is running his business 
on the R2 binding
Sujoy
11-Oct-2012
[1300]
good to know!

i haven't seen janko around in a long time - i've been interested 
in using his distributed actors library, but cant find it online 
anywhere
Kaj
11-Oct-2012
[1301x2]
Janko is around, but he's busy
I'd say with the latest news, there's a future for R3 again
Sujoy
11-Oct-2012
[1303x2]
his blog - janko-in-a-jar seems offline
any ideas if he's shifted to some other domain?
YES! the news is incredible

Open Source R3! Thank you Carl!!
hoping that r2 will also be open sourced though
Kaj
11-Oct-2012
[1308]
I don't think so. However, I'll run as much as possible on Red
Sujoy
11-Oct-2012
[1309]
i havent started using red yet...
itching to
Henrik
11-Oct-2012
[1310]
r2 probably relies on some third party closed source, more than r3.
Sujoy
11-Oct-2012
[1311]
perhaps...but would be good to see r2 open
Henrik
11-Oct-2012
[1312]
at least for bug fixing, it would be nice, but with the legal issues 
that r3 must go through to become open source, I imagine it would 
be more difficult for r2.
Sujoy
11-Oct-2012
[1313x2]
well - am super excited that r3 is in what looks like the final stages 
of being open sourced
i'm not a licensing guru, but LGPL and MIT looks good to me
or Apache
or a custom REBOL license - based on Carl's latest blog post
Kaj
11-Oct-2012
[1315]
Had to make a Red bug report, but I'm looking into your ventilator 
now
Sujoy
11-Oct-2012
[1316]
thanks Kaj!
Kaj

[1317]
Which 0MQ version are you using?
Sujoy
11-Oct-2012
[1318]
2.1.4
Kaj
11-Oct-2012
[1319]
That's good, I'm getting some strange results with 3.2
Sujoy
11-Oct-2012
[1320]
strange as in?
