Re: [Ciao-users] RPM for ciao-1.15.0(r15011) still broken & lpdoc problems

Hi John, apologies for the delay --we have been in the past few weeks very busy moving Ciao from SVN to git, which also means lots of changes in our continuous integration process, package building, installation. The move to git is allowing some nice new things but we still need some time to complete the transition. Thanks for your patience...

Re: [Ciao-users] [Ciao-bug] Successful ciao devel build, NetBSD-6.0, mods, suggestions for generality

Hi John, thanks very much for your input: we will use it to improve installation in NetBSD. We have just moved from svn to git and are in fact taking advantage of this move to improve all the installation code, so this should be very useful. Btw, this also implies significant changes in our distribution and continuous integration code, which is the reason we have been slow in putting out daily releases in the last few weeks. --Manuel H > From: jtowler(a)soncom.com (John R.

Re: [Ciao-users] Non-emacs Ciao users

> I like Ciao but I don't like emacs and will not use it. The Ciao tools themselves (compiler/interpreter/documenter etc.) are command line, so they can be used without emacs (and many users do). The emacs environment is just a shell on top and thus not necessary (but it provides a lot of convenience of course). People have been successful using the tools in diverse environments. For example, an Eclipse plugin for Ciao was developed here: http://eclipse.ime.usp.br/projetos/grad/plugin-prolog/index.html What environment/tools/platform do you normally use? --Manuel H -- ----------------------- The Ciao System Development Team -------------------- The CLIP Group | IMDEA Software Institute ciao(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es | and Technical University of Madrid http://www.ciaohome.org / http://www.cliplab.org -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like Ciao but I don't like emacs and will not use it. Will I be all alone in this? Are there other Ciao users that don't use emacs? Thanks, John -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Non-emacs-Ciao-users-tp34718458p34718458.html Sent from the Ciao Prolog - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Call for Participation: Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop - a POPL workshop.
by Gareth Smith 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

Apologies for any duplicates: CALL FOR PARTICIPATION SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop, Rome Tuesday January 22, 2013 Co-located with POPL 2013 PLMW web page: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~gds/PLMW/index.html After the resounding success of the first Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop at POPL 2012, we proudly announce the 2nd SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW), co-located with POPL 2013 and organised by Nate Foster, Philippa Gardner, Alan Schmitt, Gareth Smith, Peter Thieman and Tobias Wrigstad. The purpose of this mentoring workshop is to encourage graduate students and senior undergraduate students to pursue careers in programming language research. This workshop will provide technical sessions on cutting-edge research in programming languages, and mentoring sessions on how to prepare for a research career. We will bring together leaders in programming language research from academia and industry to give talks on their research areas. The workshop will engage students in a process of imagining how they might contribute to our research community. We especially encourage women and underrepresented minority students to attend PLMW. Since PLMW will be in Rome this year, we particularly look forward to seeing Eastern European students at the workshop. This workshop is part of the activities surrounding POPL, the Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages, and takes place the day before the main conference. One goal of the workshop is to make the POPL conference more accessible to newcomers. We hope that participants will stay through the entire conference, and will also attend the POPL tutorials on Monday 21st January which are free to PLMW registered attendees. Through the generous donation of our sponsors, we are able to provide scholarships to fund student participation. These scholarships will cover reasonable expenses (airfare, hotel and registration fees) for attendance at both the workshop and the POPL conference. Students attending this year will get one year free student membership of SIGPLAN The workshop registration is open to all. Students with alternative sources of funding are welcome. APPLICATION for PLMW scholarship: The scholarship application can be accessed from the workshop web site (http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~gds/PLMW/index.html). The deadline for full consideration of funding is 9th December, 2012. Selected participants will be notified from Friday 14th December, and will need to register for the workshop by December 24th.

A little library for text processing
by Christian Giménez 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi to all Ciao Prolog Users! I am working on a project for creating a little HTTP server called Pillowcase. But I steped on a problem: I don't know of any library for processing text! I want some predicates for spliting strings(for example: split_string("Hello word, how are you?", " ", ["Hello", "word,", "how", "are", "you?"] is true)), or extracting substrings, things like that. As far as I searched, I just found some for processing lists, like append and so on. So, I create some predicates for working with HTTP responses/request that may be useful for processing text in general as well. You can use it for searching the end of line, end of word, spliting strings. The module is still under heavy development, but you can take a look at it at the Pillowcase project. * If you know of any text processing library that I can use, please tell me! * If you want to add these predicates to your libraries/programs, there's no problem: has GPL license. Pillowcase is working if you want to try it, is in a pre-alpha state, but the latest version works with a very simplistic HTTP request/responses. Where to find these things: * The module file is called "pc_text_processing.pl" * Go to the download area of the Pillowcase project: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/pillowcase/pc_text_processing.pl * Find it at the Pillowcase source code. * The Pillowcase project: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pillowcase/ http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/pillowcase/ Cheers! -- ---------------------------------- We are all so much together and yet we are all dying of loneliness. -- A.
