Thanks to everyone! I think that it was a good first BoF session. Like
mentioned, I was thinking of making a new one in about 3 months. I
think this make sense given the synchronization overhead of multiple
time-zone but also the speed at which Guile is developed. In the
meantime, discussions continue on Codeberg, IRC and the mailing lists!
Also I think that the Jitsi call worked well enough for all. I talked
at the beginning of finding an alternative where we could move around
rooms, but really I don't think that's necessary for now.
I've made a short summary of what was discussed during the BoF. I did
not take notes during the vent so I certainly forgot something here:
- The usage of the meta-commands ,expand and ,optimize
- The usage of the meta-command ,option and an example of its usage
with ,option optimization-level N
- Missing examples for REPL meta-commands in the documentation
- Discussions about the upcoming utf-8 merge
- Bumping of minimal version of bdwgc
- Potential change in releasing numbering semantic (Y vs Z releases)
- Missing bits for compiling modules in a reproducible way
- Macro-expansions and having a macro-stepper for debugging
- Tricks for debugging macros by quoting every cases in it
- Better backtrace à la BLUE with possibly a new API for it
- Problem with using @@ with optimized .go files
- Adding compiler hints such as `do-not-inline'
- Finding a path to make a Guile project self-contained as a single
binary
Also, at the peak of the event, we were 21 I think. On Easter Monday!
Overall, I think that around different 30 peoples joined in total.
Thanks,
Olivier
