Thanks!

Agreed on the slicing.

awhen with implicit `it' is a big win on length. I wonder if there's some scary-distasteful sys._getframe() thing you could do in Python to inject an `it'... ;)

I'm not sure I'd use db-transactional-serializable-migratable closures that often even if I had them (assuming the overhead wouldn't be worth the occasional "session timeout" message the user would see). Perhaps in some domains though?

You can't? You lose then. Kinda different those are, business and helloworld, aren't they?

Looking at clients' deployed applications, the web boxes tend to average over a year's uptime so I can't say it seems like it'd matter that much.

Provided you've got runtime code loading and a useful QA process, I don't really see why you'd need to care - MySQL's lack of transactional DDL causes far more downtime than lack of serialisation would were we using a continuation-based system.

"web boxes tend to average over a year's uptime so I can't say it seems like it'd matter that much."

Unless there is a five or six nines SLA.

"Provided you've got runtime code loading and a useful QA process,"

Hardware might crash as well.

"MySQL's lack of"

That one is really good.

0x99, not 99->hex

Perl, I missed you! That one's pretty.

Neat, thanks. (Not quite "right" since I can change &foo=myinput on page 2, but I'm guessing that could easily be fixed with an extra closure somewhere).

Python, plus my in-house web framework:

    from pyricks import *
    class Said(PyricksApp):
        def initSession(self, root, data):
            def onsub(foo):
                def yousaid():
                    Yield("you said: " + foo)
                Yield(Link("click here", yousaid))
            Yield(Form(Input("foo"), onsubmit=onsub))
The actions could be lambdas to make it a closer translation, but I probably wouldn't. The library uses 'greenlet' for the continuation-y functionality.

What happens in Arc in more complex examples if I re-click a state-changing-link that's already been clicked?

That would be interesting to see your framework opensourced. :)))

It's not a ft, it's interaction with an inferior process. I'm still using ft=lisp, but if someone wants to do a syntax highlight that'd be cool.

Try: easy_install pexpect

easy_install: command not found

Sorry, that sucks. pexpect comes with Python on my platform. I don't have an OSX box to test on.

You can either install easy_install: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installi...

Or, do a manual install for pexpect if you care enough: http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/

I get

arc> Error: "Bad object in expression #<eof>"

when trying to Ctrl-D out in Ubuntu, but no infinite loop.
