The people at #Spritely have a project called #Goblins that implements object capability security.

It's implemented in Guile (also Racket), which can be learned quickly by eager students, particularly since you only need a subset of the language to play with #Goblins

A blog post written to get my head around #guile #hoot and #fibers, based on my 2024 December Adventure:

The folks at #spritely were really patient and helpful. I am very grateful for the excellent feedback I received from Dave Thompson. Many thanks to this team!

Any corrections and/or clarifications are really appreciated.

While it is still early days, I think the #spritely software stack is really promising!

@dthompson

That site is a total waste of time if for no other reason that very often the people that comment on things never read the original piece!

@dthompson

You made Top 50 Hacker News with your post about WASM GC!

@daviwil

I just got a proof-of-concept going for using Fibers in Guile-Hoot. The clever piece is code by #spritely which allows for asynchronous messaging.

Ping me if you have any questions

@dthompson

What's your setup? Do you have a VPS or do you run your own machine?

The real question is: are they finding you because your IP is in a known range or are they just systematically trying every possible IP?

@civodul

Is

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/shepherd/website.git/tree/herd-demo.scm

not available for inspection?

I get a 502 error when trying to access it.

Just wanted to see how Hoot was being used in the website.

Thanks! afm

Logo -> muLisp -> Franz Lisp -> Cambridge Lisp -> CLisp -> Chez Scheme -> Clojure -> Guile

A bit of Emacs Lisp for minimal Emacs configuration.

Love Clojure but it feels very corporate.

Guile has #Guix to recommend it, and the folks at #Spritely have been working on #Hoot (Guile running on the browser via Wasm) and #Goblins (secure distributed computing using Guile)

Tthese projects make #Guile a really interesting Lisp for me at the moment.

@cwebber @spritely
@dthompson

Got the Inbox code that was shared working! Many thanks!

Strongly recommend #Spritely Office Hours to anyone who is interested in #Hoot, #Fibers, and #goblins

Wonderful crew!

Why can't you run #Guix on Fedora?

#DecemberAdventure

Today I worked through the Guile Hoot tutorial.

My lack of real understanding of #Guix resulted in a wild goose-chase that led me to build NodeJS from source, but as a result I now have a better sense of how #Guile loads modules under #Guix.

I also enjoyed reading the entries of other participants.
