Tcl meetup 2023-05-09 ** possible topics ** * (AM) In February the possibility of moving the SDL+AGG branch into the trunk was discussed. What is the status? * (AM) And: numtcl, scitcl, definitely intriguing :) <>
<> string/list/dict/other interfaces for Tcl_Obj structures as the basis for such things <>
<> * (AM) Yet another one: the webpage on [tin] - something to support? * ([NR]) Tcl 9 will be able to call C functions in DLL or shared libraries? * ([NR]) Tcl 9 will have a package manager? * ([NR]) Tcl 9 will be able to add types on variables? Below an example from ''TypeScript'' lang ====== let age: number = 37; ====== Would it have an impact on the performance (mathematical computation by example) of the program if certain variables in Tcl 9 were typed ? Or nothing '''Tcl 9''' will never be a typed language, it was not designed like that. * ([NR]) Tcl 9 will be able to parse argument like this https://github.com/RubyLane/parse_args%|%package%|% does ? * ([NR]) Tk x.x with Tcl 9 will be able to add a OpenGl frame ? * WIP ([PYK]): Putting arithSeries behind Tcl_Obj interface. * whatever else floats your boat! ---- '''[NR] - 2023-05-03 16:27:10''' Can we ask you all kinds of questions about the development of Tcl 9 ? Or not at all, is this not the time or the right place ? ---- '''[stevel] - 2023-05-04 00:26:39''' You most certainly can, there's no fixed agenda. If any questions that can't be answered in the call document them here. ---- [ABU] 2023-05-05 About SDL+AGG: Sorry I didn't follow the discussion, but anyway, have you ever considered [https://www.blend2d.com%|%Blend2d] as an alternative to AGG ? I think its performances are far superior, see https://blend2d.com/performance.html . Blend2d has a nice C/C++ API and I also integrated it in Tcl. See the wiki pages [Blend2d] and [Blend2d Gallery]. ---- '''[arjen] - 2023-05-05 13:46:19''' I am pretty sure I did, but when I checked the notes from the past meetings, I came across this subjec. As I am generally interested in graphics, I added it to the list of subjects.
