Re: [Guile-rpc-bugs] RPC server loop, `select' -- system call is interrupted

Hello.

Yes, it works.  Moreover, this workaround is better than the one I came
up with.  Thanks!

Ah, it was intended to be a joke.  Awesome TWM uses Lua as its extension
language, so when I decided to write a download manager for this TWM, I
thought that Lua should be my choice.  But soon after I started to dig
into the Lua manuals I realized that, um, probably there are better
languages I can use.  So I choose Scheme.

It's worth mention that even author of Awesome discourages use of Lua as
the embedded language: "If you really have no choice and need to embed a
language into your application, GNU Guile is probably worth considering,
because it's a Scheme and therefore a functional language :-)" [0]
