Seaside to Calm the Continuations #

by why in cult

Avi: One thing I’d like to do is reduce the dependence of Seaside on continuations – they drove a lot of the initial interest in the framework but they’re becoming (or seeming) much less important over time, and the use cases to which they’re best suited are these days often addressed with AJAX instead. Right now they’re creating an artificial barrier which stops Seaside from being ported to some dialects (like Strongtalk, Smalltalk/X and VAST) which don’t support continuations but would still benefit from a continuation-less Seaside.

I guess sometimes when you drink from the Holy Grail too much, it begs to be put back up on display in the china closet.

The SQLite3 Gem (_why's sensibilities repack) #

by why in cult

Here’s to making sqlite3-ruby a much better gem.

 gem install sqlite3-ruby --source code.whytheluckystiff.net

The updates are:

  1. No pure Ruby driver. Ruby/DL was causing deadlock and invalid SQL errors.
  2. Windows DLLs included. Windows users shouldn’t have to install anything from the SQLite site.
  3. Pre-generated SWIG wrappers. No need to install SWIG to compile.
