dolmans hi audreyt, could you kind to review my first commit, which i refer it as a babystep.
audreyt well 06:38
svn mv param_sinature param_signature
(typo)
ditto in the test body
but otherwise looks sane
dolmans++
dolmans oops 06:39
Captain_Fourier hey i have more free time 06:44
if i dont know haskell, how can i help?
audreyt there's perl5/Pugs-Compiler-Perl6/HACKING 06:45
also pugs.blogs.com/pugs/2006/07/pugs_janitor_ta.html
also, proofreading synopses is very important too 06:46
Captain_Fourier ok
audreyt i.e. take svn.perl.org/perl6/doc/trunk/design/syn/ and mark the places where the English is misleading or wrong 06:47
lambdabot Title: Revision 10532: /doc/trunk/design/syn
audreyt and submit patches to [email@hidden.address]
Captain_Fourier will do
audreyt yay
audreyt is still reeling from jetlag

pmurias a couple of my friends wan't to use a dual language php/c++ solution for a webapp 07:40
s/wan't/wanted/
nothingmuch sounds like the best of both worlds ;-) 07:42
pmurias i heard them planing a binary protocol at breakfast (with an XML header) 07:45
on the next day (to use with the webap)
s/webap/webapp/ 07:47
talked about perl6 with a pythonist who reveled himself by sugesting diango or another python framework 07:50
audreyt django is neat. 07:52
one of the inspirations of Jifty :)
pmurias it suposably also does autogeneration of database schemas 07:53
audreyt it is quite jiftylike.
I enjoy jifty's "action" abstraction for no-effort ajaxy behaviour
but otherwise the two frameworks are comparable in surface easy-to-codeness 07:54
pmurias audreyt: during your talk you mentioned a lot of neat RPS thingys like Jifty::Query 07:55
audreyt right. now that the 1.0 stuff are ported to jifty, I'm working on 2.0 stuff next week onward
(Jifty::Plugin::REST is now in jifty trunk and supports both GET and POST interfaces) 07:56
(and XML::All 0.02 is on CPAN)
pmurias and Jifty::Query?
audreyt it's in the "2.0" aka "exprimental" aka "we are still playing with the syntax" stage.
ditto jifty::View.
(though Jifty::Web::Session::ClientSide has since matured and is now part of jifty core) 07:57
pmurias thanks
audreyt np :) we'll get there, but unlike pugs, my jiftywork is prioritized by $client demand 07:58
and they want ::REST and ::ClientSide to be deployed, more than Query/View abstractions
so will get those two polished first
pmurias the python guy was suprised that perl6 has an implementation 08:00
audreyt ...and two other implementations 08:01
pmurias told him that too
audreyt and all three are on CPAN :)
audreyt praises CPAN some more.
pmurias he liked junctions thought
and when i told him about the grammar redefinability he liked it also and wandered when will python 08:03
have it
is it posible to unimport syntax by the way? 08:04
audreyt that is a very deep and interesting question :)
pmurias eq. no statement_control <goto unless until>;
audreyt no GLOBAL < &statement_control:<until> >; 08:05
something like that
but I can see grammatical categs becoming pragmas of their own, maybe.
no infix '+';
I don't see why not. will be lots of fun :) 08:06
pmurias the python guy complained that too much things are in the core perl language, so it assumed he will be able to unimport them 08:07
audreyt yup.
can you work out a syntax and write a proposal to p6l?
pmurias i'll try 08:08
audreyt probably belongs to S04
I'd love to have something like that.
pmurias what's the best way to print the synopsis? 08:11
audreyt use the excellent CPAN module 08:13

gaal interesting. I have a default method for class PLit in Perl6Class.hs line 91. And there's an instance on line 103 that looks like it's completely redundant, but I get compilation errors when I remove it. I don't understand why it's needed? 11:14
nothingmuch hola gaal 11:15
gaal when I say "class (Typeable a, Show a) => PLit a" isn't "instance (Typeable a, Show a) => PLit a" implicit?
hey nothingmuch
11:16 agentzh joined
agentzh is "semantics" a plural count noun? 11:16
is the sentence "the semantics *are* confusing" correct? 11:17
nothingmuch gaal: www.scannedinavian.com/hope/entry/68
theorbtwo I'd say that's correct.
gaal I think so.
nothingmuch you should comment on that thread, methinks
theorbtwo Possibly more to the point, I'd say "The semantics is confusing" is wrong.
nothingmuch or wait
are you the guilty party for hasktags? 11:18
agentzh okay, thanks
gaal nothingmuch: no, I have a patch for exuberant ctags.
nothingmuch that's what i thought =)
jerkcity++ 11:20
i have been following it for a while now, and i still don't know what they're talking about
yet i'm having fun =)
agentzh some comments in the sample code of the synopses are not "well-formed", should i fix them?
chris2 audreyt's rhox slides feature some neat examples with different output formats; where can i find the code for that?
gaal nothingmuch: hah, that patch made it to Gentoo somehow. 11:22
nothingmuch gaal: that's why i like gentoo
if you need silly features they usually have em
optional, of course
it makes a control freak like me happy =)
gaal oh wait no, the patch is by someone else, "Slightly based on haskell.c by Gaal Yahas" 11:23
maybe it's better!
hmm, it's a little more robust with whitespaces and character classes, and adds 'class', but it's basically the same thing. that is it doesn't do constructors and selectors, or instance methods. 11:28
broquaint Anyone know if there's an operator like this currently in Perl 6: www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=564792 # ?
lambdabot Title: Secret Perl Operators: the boolean list squash operator, x!!
gaal broquaint: 'x?' 11:29
broquaint So instead of doing COND ? THING : (), you can do (THING) x!! COND.
audreyt chris2: you mean the json/yaml/etc one? 11:30
chris2 audreyt: yes
audreyt chris2: installing plugins/REST/ from the jifty svn trunk gives you that
gaal broquaint: yes; in Perl 6 '?' forces bool context
audreyt in your jifty app, edit etc/config.yml
framework:
Plugins:
- REST: {}
chris2 svn ups 11:31
broquaint Aha, thanks, gaal :)
audreyt that's it (the "framework:" key is already present)
then navigate to /=/model/ and /=/action/
chris2 *now* it's there!
it wasnt when you posted the draft slides, was it?
audreyt some of them were in the moose branch
some of them were in $job branch
but they were not in trunk, correct
chris2 thanks a lot 11:32
gaal broquaint: but I'm not sure about precedence here. could be that the named version is better. I think that's called lowercase 'true' now.
audreyt np :)
chris2 steals it for his ruby thingy :P
audreyt good =)
I'd love to see yaml-based RESTish RPC between ruby and perl web app frameworks
11:33 Aankh|Clone is now known as Aankhen``, agentzh joined
chris2 okay/rpc exists :) 11:33
gaal and call it Rupee?
chris2 Peby
agentzh is the sentence "Just as A, so does B." correct?
gaal agentzh: when one of A and B have a verb. 11:34
agentzh gaal: so this is incorrect, isn't it?
gaal actually, A needs the verb.
Aankhen`` agentzh: It should be "Just as A does something, so does B".
agentzh A and B are nouns here.
following this reasoning, S05 is WRONG!!! yay! 11:35
gaal agentzh: context? what's the suspect sentence?
agentzh gaal: a sec...
"Just as C<rx> has variants, so does the C<regex> declarator." 11:36
gaal no, that's correct.
agentzh oh, A seems to have a verb..
gaal: okay, thanks
gaal np :) 11:37

agentzh question: are @{ ... } and %{ ... } still valid Perl 6?
i grepped through all the lastest synopses, only S05 uses this syntax, which is odd. (Maybe S05 is out of sync with others?) 14:48
i also have grepped the pugs test suit and have got the following results: 14:49
PerlJam agentzh: they ought to be valid. @{$capture} should give you the positiony things, %{$capture} should give you the namey things.
agentzh PerlJam: but i think we should use the syntax @($capture) and %($captuer) per S02 14:50
or even @$capture and %$capture for short
PerlJam Hmm. 14:51
agentzh {...} is a always a clousure or a hash script 14:52
this meaning of {...} is very consistent in Perl 6 IMHO
PerlJam you're right. /me isn't used to the nw world order yet

agentzh PerlJam: :)
agentzh is adding this kind of fixes to his patch for S05... 14:53

agentzh finds S05 quite comfortable to read because it contains *many* samples. 15:26
hopefully @larry will add more sampe code to S02, S03, and S04. :) 15:27
ajs I would think that @{...} would be "the return value of ... as a list (possibly lazy)" 15:29
Where @(...) would be "the value of the expression ... as a list (possibly lazy)" 15:30
PerlJam ajs: I would think @{...} would be "evaluate this closure in an array context" :)
agentzh ajs: i think lists are always lazy in Perl 6 :)
ajs PerlJam: you said the same thing I did, but I'm talking about the return value treatment and you're talking about the evaluation
PerlJam ajs: list != array
ajs agentzh: No. Lists are always lazy IF THEY CAN BE. So, it's important to note that an expression can be lazy 15:31
agentzh the difference between lists and arrays is quite fuzzy to me.
ajs: of course
PerlJam: why not simply { ... }? 15:32
ajs agentzh: lists are collections of values with inspecific typing. Arrays are a data structure. (as I understand it)
agentzh @ is redundant in your usage
ajs: thanks
PerlJam agentzh: I'm not sure there isn't some difference between "list context" and "array context"
agentzh PerlJam: you're confusing me even more. ;-) 15:33
ajs Consider "$x = {...}" vs "$x = @{...}" These are radically different things (potentially)
agentzh ajs: indeed
ajs PerlJam: Array context would imply the creation of a datastructure, no? I'm guessing based on your usage.
PerlJam ajs: that makes some sense to me, yes. 15:34
ajs It's not a different context though. It's just a behavior
svnbot6 r11847 | fglock++ | pX/Pugs-Compiler-Rule - more tests; code cleanup
PerlJam agentzh: confusion is that natural state of humanity :)
ajs The evaluation would still be in list context
PerlJam (especially around #perl6)
agentzh ?eval $x = @(do { 1..5 });
evalbot_11846 Error: unexpected "(" expecting "::"
agentzh ?eval $x = @{ 1..5 }; 15:35
evalbot_11846 Error: Undeclared variable: "$x"

agentzh stops playing

Limbic_Region no, they are specced to no longer be part of the core and to see Damian 16:34
IOW - relegated to a module
rgs I remember that;
I was just switching my troll to the support of pack() in perl 6
Wikipedia-Gast66 rgs sucks
[particle] reset ;)
PerlJam ?? 16:35
study
[particle] (i know that's specced out of existance)
PerlJam any others?
Wikipedia-Gast66 PerlJam sucks
[particle] am i invisible?
Limbic_Region chop
Limbic_Region thinks chop is gone anyway
Wikipedia-Gast66 Limbic_Region sucks
PerlJam yep
[particle] hrmm, it may be 16:36
Wikipedia-Gast66: you suck! :P
PerlJam [particle]: You may be invisible, but I can still see the text you type :)
[particle] i'm just invisible to the stupid bot
...which should be kicked
PerlJam indeed!
[particle] is not a channel op 16:37
Wikipedia-Gast66 PerlJam sucks
PerlJam Wikipedia-Gast66 sucks
Wikipedia-Gast66 no
PerlJam yes
Wikipedia-Gast66 PerlJam is gay
[particle] hands out square brackets to the crowd 16:38
heh, whaddayaknow, there are no channel ops here
rgs square brackets suck 16:39
[particle] :)
PerlJam all bracketing constructs suck
[particle] perhaps i should call them earmuffs :)
Limbic_Region if #perl6 is anything like #perl - no channel ops by default, you "power up", do the deed, and "power down"
PerlJam They're too ... constraining :)
[particle] perhaps you should learn about quantum tunneling 16:40
Limbic_Region knows about quantum tunneling
without it, the universe as we know it (including us) wouldn't exist 16:41
well, that's probably not true but other than divine intervention - there are no competing theories ;-) 16:42

salty-horse audreyt, have you thought about soft linking pugs/docs/Perl6/Syn/ to the real synopsis repository using svn:externals? I, for one, don't run onfigure.PL every day (as opposed to "svn up; make")
obra svn:externals doesn't work well with svk 17:12
salty-horse obra, don't you mean svk doesn't work well with svn:externals? :) 17:13

obra no, I mean "svn:externals is a bloody-awful hack that's damn near useless" 17:15

17:17 pdcawley joined
salty-horse i know one project that uses it to include development versions third-party projects in its tree, so it's good for atleast *one* thing. do many people here use svk? 17:17
PerlJam salty-horse: I'll venture to say "yes" 17:18
obra salty-horse: most of the core developers 17:19
salty-horse: you run into big problems if the other repository goes away. and you lose versioning on those remote projects
rodi additionally, if you want to go hiking in the mountains of Taiwan to find hot springs, you need SVK. 17:20
SVN is totally unsuitable for hotspring-finding. 17:21
PerlJam wonders how clkao powers his laptop on such hikes 17:22
salty-horse rodi, I don't have a laptop, so I'm not sure I could use SVK or SVN on such trips, if I ever visit the hot-springed Taiwanian mountains
17:24 SubStack joined
rodi salty-horse: my problem is getting to Taiwan. Maybe between the two of us, we could work something out ;) 17:25
salty-horse rodi, send me your laptop. i'll see what I can do 17:30
where does it say in the synopsis that I can use a semicolon to seperate arguments in a parenthesised sub call? say("foo"; "bar") 17:33

fglock pmurias: I'm merging now, but it will take some time - there are many differences 18:11
gaal and thus nothingmuch and agentzh developed IP over nopaste :) 18:12
pmurias did you look into Parse-Rule 18:15
?
fglock pmurias: not yet - looking
svnbot6 r11850 | fglock++ | pX/Pugs-Compiler-Rule - started merging with perl5/Pugs-Compiler-Rule; 18:17
r11850 | fglock++ | - updated ChangeLog, TODO; version is now 0.12_01
fglock pmurias: Parse-Rule might be useful for the v6-Compiler project 18:19
18:22 weinig is now known as weinig|bbl
pmurias it would probably need some architectural changes to support emitters 18:22
fglock pmurias: it needs to use the precedence parser, and implement dynamic grammar too 18:26
svnbot6 r11851 | fglock++ | pX/Pugs-Compiler-Rule - merged up to PCR 0.11
pmurias dynamic grammar == magic hashes? 18:30
fglock the new PCR runs the test suite in about 60% of the time 18:31
pmurias: yes
pmurias fglock: wow
18:32 rodi is now known as rodi_away
pmurias is learning Pod::Parser , so he can massage the synopsis for printing 18:33
fglock: how much would faster would a C version of ratcher be? 18:34
s/ratcher/ratcher
fglock pmurias: it would depend a lot on the unicode library and on how you interface to the object system - but I think 10x to 100x would be reasonable 18:36
mm - it uses about 30% less memory too 18:37

TreyHarris gaal: would be more logical, but less idiomatic English. 20:17
actually, i'm not sure it would be more logical. i might expect a section called "changes from Ruby operators, changes from Java operators, etc. etc." 20:18

svnbot6 r11853 | lwall++ | Start changing !~ to !~~, but I can't test until Parrot_exit gets sorted out... 21:00
TimToady anyone here know how to add a ParrotInterp arg to parrot_exit? It doesn't like me. 21:03
PerlJam TimToady: I bet someone on irc.perl.org #parrot knows :) 21:04
TimToady this is a Haskell question... 21:05
If I do the obvious cargo-culty thing, I get in trouble with the IO monad somehow 21:06
audreyt line 360
foreign import ccall "Parrot_exit"
parrot_exit :: CInt -> IO ()
TimToady got that part
audreyt the signature needs to change to match the C-land conv
and then line 214 21:07
parrot_exit 0
becomes
parrot_exit interp 0
that should be all
TimToady Oh, I had _ParrotInterp there
audreyt *nod* it's a IORef, not the actual interp 21:09
interp <- readIORef _ParrotInterp
that reads the interp out from the IORef (aka Scalar)
leo audreyt: I hope that change to Parrot_exit is matching your expectations 21:11
audreyt certainly is :) if that means we can retire the horrible setjmp kluge, then yes 21:12
leo hopefully yes and imcc compile errors are now catchable exceptions 21:13
audreyt leo++
yay. :)
leo the latter is courtesy of vsoni 21:14
audreyt vsoni++
leo indeed
see e.g. tail -18 t/pmc/eval.t 21:16
# in the parrot tree
audreyt *nod* 21:18
waking up at 5am. not bad for first day of jetlag 21:19
leo in combination with push_new_c_exception_handler() you should be able to catch this exception - I hope
audreyt ok. I'll take a look
after some more sleep I hope :) 21:20

svnbot6 r11858 | fglock++ | pXPugs-Compiler-Rule - TODO 22:16
TimToady audreyt: presumably 22:17
svnbot6 r11859 | Sage++ | The isInSequence function used for finding nodes in order now accepts junk in between matched nodes (so comments can't throw off a translation by mucking with a match).
TimToady I could see infix_prefix_meta_operator:<-> applied to cmp and <=> 22:18
but maybe not
audreyt -cmp looks like filetest 22:19
TimToady not as infix
audreyt $x -cmp $b
TimToady but the - does rather disappear
$x !cmp $b doesn't quite work
audreyt $x flip cmp $y 22:20
TimToady probably not worth it, given most sorts will be done with sigs rather than closures
audreyt yeah.
TimToady can always define your own revcmp
if you need to pass one in

svnbot6 r11860 | Sage++ | "@array" -> "@array[]" and "%hash"->"%hash{}" translations completed. 22:21
r11860 | Sage++ | Once regexs now translate: ?foo? -> m:once/foo/. This is performed BEFORE modifier translations (which I added yesterday) so as to not perturb anything.
r11860 | Sage++ | Some other clarifications and comments, just little fixes.
TimToady infix:<cmp>.assuming(:a($b),:b($a)) :)
audreyt :D 22:22
[!~~=] $x, $y, $z; 22:25
presumably legal?
TimToady probably not, but merely because = doesn't apply itself to boolean producers 22:28
don't have eq= either
audreyt 'k 22:30
and ||= works only because it's not technically boolean 22:31
and !||= would work
$x ~~= /.../; # $x now becomes Match object 22:32
TimToady probably not, if !|| binds tighter
audreyt yeah, that was the question
TimToady and I think it does
