/prog/ decides 2010 - R7RS

A draft ballot template has been published at http://trac.sacrideo.us/wg/wiki/WG1Ballot, containing 50+ items. Plenty of interesting things like:


Which VCS do we use?

There is the question of the right VCS to use. I prefer Monotone. Currently we are having an email vote on the list. I have entered this ticket to play with the Trac ticketing system. We can finalize the ticket once we have chosen a VCS.

Options: bzr,darcs,git,hg,monotone,svn,undecided

darcs.

Goddomot why doesn't Cowan allow others to mail him. I need an hour to kill.

Should WG1 include exact-integer-sqrt from R6RS? It allows square root operations in Schemes that don't provide inexact arithmetic, and has different semantics from sqrt, as it rounds its argument down to the nearest exact square.
Genius! Much better than casting sqrt to an integer.

>>5
What do you mean "cast to an integer"? Scheme doesn't have that notion. That said, I do agree. In schemes which do have inexact arithmetic, this behaviour is merely a composition of sqrt, inexact->exact and floor. If they want inexact arithmetic to be an optional part of the standard, it should be in a separate module and it should export sqrt.

The dry run's limited to WG members only. I'm not that progrider.

>>7
well then become a WG member.
