@matthew I honestly didn't look into Lua much until I examined Fennel on last week's stream. I was surprised to see that Lua does have a few similarities to Scheme, and paired with a Lisp syntax like Fennel, it becomes a pretty attractive choice for scripting.Lapis does sound interesting, and it must be working pretty well if it powers all of itch.io!

It turns out that you can extend OBS with Lua scripts. Let's see what kind of magic can be made when you throw Fennel in the mix...

Pretty easy to set up Fennel to run inside of OBS:https://codeberg.org/SystemCrafters/live-crafter/commit/c5a3738b475fd807b60e33a6f914d33e8ea4c3fb

All the people disappointed with NixOS right now should consider putting their energy into Guix instead. I would describe The Guix project as "allergic to corporate entanglement."

@slackline @sqrtminusone You can definitely use eww to view the forum but it appears you can't log in or write posts with it due to the lack of JavaScript engine

@mntmn I take revenge by causing a prompt dialog to be raised and let it sit there overnight, waiting for a confirmation that will never be given

I'd love to start talking more about making a living as an independent hacker/creator but I've sometimes felt a vibe that this topic isn't so welcome on the Fediverse.Any thoughts on the best way to approach this?My goal would be to share what I've learned to help others do the same!

Today I'm going to start building a new website from scratch using Guile Scheme!The goal is to create a production website that could get a fair amount of traffic. This ongoing project should be a good example of real-world Scheme hacking!Join us here at 07:30 UTC (in around an hour):- https://youtube.com/live/jpYROJ9_W2E- https://twitch.tv/SystemCrafters#gnu #guile #scheme #webdev #programming

Today I'm going to continue hacking on a website from scratch using Guile Scheme!The goal for today is to set up a SQLite database for the site and then start populating it with real data from Emacs package repositories. We may hack more on the frontend if we have time!

In a recent stream, I started using the Fibers library for Guile Scheme to learn more about how it enables Go-style concurrency in Scheme programs.Here's a clip from that stream where I explain what Fibers is for, read through an example snippet using channels, and set up a basic HTTP request handler that uses Fibers' own server backend.Let me know what you think about the clip format!https://youtu.be/fYyZuYKjmWc#guile #scheme #golang #programming

Today I'm going to continue hacking on a website from scratch using Guile Scheme!The goal for today is to use the package information we acquired in the last stream to flesh out and improve the SQL schema and data model for Emacs packages.We'll also update the website templating to display more details and hopefully look a bit nicer!Join us here at 07:30 UTC (in around 10 minutes!):- https://youtube.com/live/3LM9eKd879s- https://twitch.tv/SystemCrafters#guile #scheme #programming #webdev #sql

🔴 Today we continue hacking on a website from scratch using Guile Scheme!We'll spend some time implementing sessions for logged in users so that they can start creating content on the site using their accounts.We'll also take a look at how one might accomplish "middlewares" in Scheme.

🔴 On today's Crafter Hours stream, we'll continue working on the staging site we deployed last week, this time to initialize the Emacs package repo data so that it can be interacted with!We'll also start planning out the next steps of the work for the site so that we can move closer to a full production release.Join us here:- https://youtube.com/live/oLk4lvLYKBs- https://twitch.tv/SystemCrafters#guile #scheme #guix #programming #webdev #sql
