dduncan Following a make realclean, I started to rebuild the latest Pugs using the final release of Perl 5.10.0, which worked, then started a make smoke, which is in progress. Anyone else testing Pugs with the final 5.10.0? 01:54

Tene Bah.
Auzon Indeed
Squern So is "foo { code() } bar" for real? 03:07
That is, interpolating {...} in strings as code? 03:08
Auzon pugs: "foo { 'For serious!' } bar"
exp_evalbot RESULT["foo For serious! bar"]
Squern I ask because that's going to mean an awful lot of backwacking.
Auzon Apparently
pugs: q~foo { 'For serious!' } bar~ 03:09
Squern {} is pretty common in strings. It's also going to make YAML a pain.
exp_evalbot RESULT["foo \{ \'For serious!\' } bar"]
Auzon Only for double quoted string

jjore-m moritz_, just fyi, MAD acquired a bit of bitrot in the last year. Allegedly it does not fully pass tests and no one has appeared to want to spend tuits on it. 14:26
though it's still probably most loved as an eventual path from a running Perl 5 VM to something useful to a Perl 6 compiler. 14:27

Juerd_ And one of the people who knows much about MAD is spending his tuits on a Perl 5 fork :( 14:36

It's not like MAD in Perl 5 is terribly important right now anyway.

fglock we just had a discussion on #parrot about tracking variables at compile-time 16:35
the reason for this discussion is that the kp6 compiler seems to be doing extra work, keeping track of lexical scopes that it doesn't have to 16:37
this makes it more difficult to port to other backends, such as Parrot
one such case is: my $x; BEGIN { $x = 3 } # illegal in Perl 6? 16:39
a corner case is: our $x; BEGIN { $x = 3 } # possibly illegal 16:40
but this would be ok: BEGIN { our $x = 3 } 16:41
16:41 Patterner left, Psyche^ is now known as Patterner, zakame left
fglock another implication is that lexically scoped macros would be impossible, but 16:42
pmichaud said macros would likely instantiate a new parser, 16:43
and the scope would be syntactically delimited
moritz_ sounds reasonable

23:34 justatheory left
Juerd_ Schwern: @ is used even more often than {, in strings, or so a quick look at my code base shows 23:46
Schwern: And @ has needed escaping in "" longer than I have used Perl. I don't even know which version started to require that. 23:47
Schwern Perl 5
But we already know about @
And $
Why add to the pile? 23:48
23:48 chris2 left
Juerd_ I will counter every why question with a why not. 23:48
Schwern Actually Perl 6 fixes the [email@hidden.address] problem
Juerd_ And vice versa
Schwern Juerd: More to escape is more to think about which is bad. 23:49
Juerd_ No, it makes it even worse, IMO, by working *most of the time*
Schwern ?
I've only played with it a little but it appears you have to try pretty hard and the result looks an awful lot like a programming construct.
Anyhow, that's stuff I haven't looked into. 23:50
Juerd_ [email@hidden.address] works [email@hidden.address] does not.
Schwern So, umm... what was the point again?
Juerd_ So it only makes it *harder* to realise you're doing something that might break.
Schwern I think that's stretching. 23:51
Also, getting $obj.method() working is soooo worth it
But again, it's not something I've really looked into. Just the {} thing struck me. 23:52
$obj.method() at least still follows the "sigil in a string" tripwire.
That is, I still only have to be dimly aware that putting sigils in a string requires a little thought. 23:53
Whereas {} opens up a whole new class for little gain.
${} would be no more mental load than what we have now 23:54
Juerd_ Just like the whole damn UTF8 mess in Perl 5 - if you do nothing, but work with UTF8 d(my terminal went away at this point)ata a lot, you think you have good code
UNTIL you hit that edge case
$obj.method() requiring parens requires look-ahead parsing, which sucks for parsability.
Schwern Fortunately, that's not a user problem. 23:55
Juerd_ Oh yes it is
User needs to parse too!
Schwern ?
With their eyes?
Juerd_ And brane, yes
Schwern We don't parse like computers.
Juerd_ Often we do 23:56
Schwern Picking out $obj.method(...) is easy for us.
Also, it's bloody rare in text
Juerd_ I'm happy with s:i/foo/bar/ for exactly that reason.
Schwern That's a whole different league
The problem with s/foo/bar/i isn't so much that the special cases are at the back, it's that there's *no indiciation* of a special case at the front. 23:57
Juerd_ In [email@hidden.address] the () at the end make the @ at the beginning special.
Schwern That it's a silly case is relevant.
23:57 jisom joined
Schwern When you interpolate, there's always going to be a way to trip over it. The question is, how likely is that? 23:57
Juerd_ Anyway, I'm okay with the [email@hidden.address] thing, mostly. Just pointing out that it doesn't fix the problem, only make it a bit worse when you do run into it, even if that is less likely.
Schwern It would be interesting to grep CPAN for instances of m{\.\w+\(} inside a string. 23:58
Juerd_ I'm also okay with { } -- I'd *almost* ask for a \w/\W distinction like the one that was made for regexes: every \w character is literal, every \W character is special or reserved for future use. 23:59
Schwern so... uppercase braces?
Juerd_ \\\w is special, \\(\W) is literal $1
23:59 iblechbot left
Schwern You've lost me 23:59
Juerd_ \w is alphanums and underscore
\W is the opposite
Schwern Ok
