Clojurians Log v2

Good morning

Good morning. I thought it would feel more special a day after having reported my first bug on Java, but it feels like a perfectly normal day.

@pez As in you raised an issue with Oracle…?

European Lisp Symposium conference is live now: https://www.twitch.tv/elsconf

There’s a Clojure talk at 11:30

morning

Haha, sorry for the lack of details. Yes, raised an issue with Oracle. Here’s some context: https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/calva/issues/1162#issuecomment-830920272 Also see the #calva channel. This one is stopping us from making the Getting Started REPL as “for everyone” as we want to do. Super frustrating.

What a strange error

It is also very strange that it would not have been reported tons of times already.

Maybe there aren't tons of Windows users on Oracle JDK 16 relying on quoted strings as command line args in the world.

I am trying to recruit more of them. 😃

I think this was introduced with JDK 15, which would make it a bit more strange with the not reported.

Have you tested it with JDK 15?

Not yet. There are Getting Started REPL issue reports indicating this is the case.

Morning

This whole thing seems weird coming from linux shells - shouldn't this be the job of cmd.exe to decide how to invoke exec?

https://superuser.com/a/962805 > there's nothing that will escape " within quotes for argument passing. hmm

So, maybe not a java bug, but instead Windows behaving as expected @pez?

Windows escaping is totally bonkers, for sure. I think there are as many as seven different variants of it. Which is why at first I went out on that snipe hunt and almost never returned from it. But in the end, I see it like this: The Oracle Java installer installs two java.exe, and those two behave differently. @borkdude had a theory that maybe the misbehaving one is a wrapper and that the double quotes get lost in the quoting inside that wrapper. (Or something like that. 😄 )

Morning

New website for babashka: https://babashka.org

Wow, that is beautiful, @borkdude!

@jasonbell isn’t that just dissoc?

@borkdude Looks nice, but what’s up with the massive bottom margin? 😛

I think that's related to that gradient thing, but you'll have to ask @buoyantair, this is not my strength :)

Ah, it’s because she’s rotating a div containing the background image to create the effect.

Feel free to propose or PR improvements at https://github.com/babashka/babashka.github.io

Maybe add a section about that it has a growing and very active community. I mean, that #babashka channel is on fire!

I can understand if you don’t want to inform about that it has the most active and supporting maintainer in existence, but that should actually be mentioned as well.

Do you mean under features, or as a separate "Community" section?

I was thinking as a feature.

ok

Well I suppose it is.

@pez ok, take another look

You are fast!

We are also sharing ideas on how to leverage. I think that fits too.

> The https://app.slack.com/client/T03RZGPFR/CLX41ASCS has quickly summoned more than 500 members. We are sharing ideas, and helping each other out with questions and issues.https://github.com/babashka/babashka/discussions can be used to reach out for any topic if you are more into slower moving communication.

done

@pez I now moved "Community" to its own thing

Paradoxical maybe, I think it loses visibility. Both work fine, though.

@borkdude the contribute menu is making things too large for mobile

Thanks, made an issue

Feel free to contribute if you feel like it to this website

Good morning! 😛

I said good day 😄

Good morning!
