justinethier should add an email address :) #58

Closed cmoore closed 12 years ago

cmoore commented 12 years ago

So I can send him email about a project I'm thinking of using husk-scheme as an extension language for. I thought I'd talk to him about a few details and get his blessing, etc.

Expected output: justinethier's email address or a way to contact him.

Error message: "Justinethier has not provided an email address" on the "message" button on his profile page.

Severity: CRITICAL!!!! :)

You can always message me on github - a copy is sent directly to my email :)

But let's cut to the chase. Just send an email to justin.ethier at gmail.com and we can talk things over...

Weird, I swear it wasn't letting me do that, but clearly it was operator error on my part. Sorry about that.

Anyway, I'm writing a blog engine for... well, first my consumption, and then whoever else wants to use it because I flat refuse to use PHP (wordpress) and I like to write code.

The point of all of this is that I want to use husk-scheme as an extension language for it first, and then later I've got some more ideas, but this is first to solve an itch I've had for something semi-secure to blog with, and second to get down the right way to use it as an extension language for possibly more important things.

Do you know of any other projects using it, by chance?

justinethier commented 12 years ago

No problem, it's good to hear back from you.

I have received bug reports and patches from other developers, but do not know of any projects out there that are actively using husk at the moment. That said, husk itself is mature at this point. Most of R5RS is supported and the interpreter is stable. There are a lot of improvements that can still be made - you can browse through the issues list to get a good idea - but it is quite usable.

I like your idea of trying it out as an extension language for your blog engine, to get a sense of what will be involved and to figure out the right way to use it. I'm willing to help you along the way if you have questions, concerns, problems, etc. And I am very interested in your feedback - maybe there are things that husk can do better or that could be tweaked to make it easier to use for such a purpose.

What do you think? Does that help?

justinethier commented 12 years ago

I think this Issue is safe to close at this point. But I am curious - did you have a chance to give husk a try?

cmoore commented 12 years ago

I did, and then I started a new job. :) I'll get back to it once I'm confident that I'll be able to keep said job. I'm still in that tentative 2 week 'try before you buy' stage.

Congrats on the new job! No worries, its already a busy time of the year without having anything else like that to juggle. Just wanted to check in...
