TimToady I think STD is correct here :)
a nullterm is only allowed at the end of the list 00:11
otherwise the semantics are unclear--people will expect it to pass an undef or something

desertm4x Is there a generic way to create an own Container class either extending the List or Array class/role.

masak pmurias: it's basically a hook where you can plug in git-commit or whatever.
pmichaud: it's also the point where the state of the tests is registered, and subsequent runs are compared against that state to determine whether progress has been made. 12:33

because there's no %x<bc>
that's going to be fixed eventually.
finanalyst but this is something i use quite alot, so it would be nice to know what the invocant was
masak indeed. 12:50
right now they only way to guard oneself against this is to develop in very small steps.
that way, you know with greater certainty what line caused the error.
finanalyst 'fixed eventually' == 'when it reaches the level of irritability for someone to fix' ?
i have tried to, but i just refactored something and this came up 12:51

TiMBuS its because the repl is compiling each line into its own block
so any globals stay
finanalyst yes, but it was irritating that variables would not persist over several lines 13:01
with globals this can be worked around
TiMBuS i wrote a patch a long while ago to make vars without 'my' autovivify on the repl, and set themselves in the outer namespace
finanalyst patch doesnt seem to be included in current repl 13:02
TiMBuS nope i didnt really submit it
13:03 sm^^^ left, sm` joined

TiMBuS and frankly i dont know how 'use strict/no strict' would be "properly" implemented anyway so i guess i ditched the idea =/ 13:05
masak could someone make an IRC client module in Perl 6 that makes this possible? gist.github.com/189041 13:07
TiMBuS i get the feeling this was pointed at me?
masak no, at everybody.
especially at the lurkers. come one people! :) 13:08
s/one/on/
TiMBuS well my irc bot already does that but, not so perl 6-y
masak oh, so maybe my idea isn't so new, then.
I like that my example code is very, um, succinct. 13:09
TiMBuS it is
masak it should be possible to write something like that.
maybe even today.
TiMBuS i use mmd to trigger events, based on the method name
masak I stole the regex idea from Tene++'s LolDispatch. 13:10

masak actually, the hard part is writing the IRC client itself, I wager.
TiMBuS multi method on_message ( $msg where { $^msg ~~ /^\!8ball/ }, $from, $channel )
masak um.
oh! in a signature. cool!
TiMBuS i dont know enough about perl6 :(
moritz_ the problem with 'where' is that it's only an epsilon tighter 13:12
masak TiMBuS: if you want to, you can write $msg where /.../
I think.
moritz_ so when sombody writes Str $msg, it always wins
TiMBuS i think i tried that and it didnt work =/
masak moritz_: well then, write Str $msg where /.../ :)
TiMBuS heh
masak TiMBuS: I think it should.
TiMBuS lemme see
i should probably make the bot join this irc i guess 13:14
moritz_ TiMBuS: beware, you'll get all sorts of feedback ;-) 13:15
TiMBuS aa
masak we have an advanced taste in bots in here.
because we've used them a lot. 13:16

Tene masak: the problem with writing an IRC client is that Parrot doesn't have async IO support yet. 13:18
masak ah.
well, that kinda puts a damper on things.
TiMBuS and yeah that too
one irc server only
masak how come it doesn't? all I hear about with Parrot is asynch IO.
moritz_ asnch != threaded, in general 13:19
TiMBuS i wanted to make a twitter bot but it would ping out if it had to wait for the site
Tene masak: there's other IO cleanups that need to happen first, or something...
moritz_ POE is all asynchron, but single threaded

TiMBuS masak, so how did you expect .reply to work? i currently use '.msg(@replies.pick, $channel)' but i assume your example assumes the object will instead keep the state of the current event... which is not a bad idea 13:33
masak it took a separate git branch to isolate it.
TiMBuS: I just stuffed every thing away in the Session object $_ in the signature.
TiMBuS oooh right

jnthn Yeah.
masak that's even sicker. :)
jnthn ;-) 13:35
13:35 pdcawley left, pdcawley_ is now known as pdcawley
jnthn It's because sig construction builds a junction of the types at the moment. 13:35
And I guess for some reason it's finding your all method.
:-/
masak ah!
yes, I believe there's a Parrot bug that confuddles methods and global subs.
jnthn Yeah, may be Parrot bug too. 13:36
masak yuck.
jnthn I'm not sure *why* it's happening, just that it's calling your all instead.
So you end up trying to get the $!a of a Str.
masak fortunately, all our problems will go away by April... :/
jnthn: note that I'm not even calling A.x 13:37
jnthn Given that signature creation is getting an epic re-write soon anyway, this one probably will be. :-)
Yeah, the sig object is built before then.
erm, sorry

Not heard of it
jnthn It was once the capital.
But these days, quite small and not so significant. 13:55
Thus I only decided to have a single night here. Turns out it's really quite a nice place though.
Not so much jaw-dropping sights, but unlike Kyoto it's fairly consistently nice.
Kyoto has some awesome things to see, but walking between them it's kinda "meh". 13:56
So I spent my time jumping between the nice bits. Here it was nice to just stroll, sit in a park, etc.

sjohnson he seemed to tell i wasn't happy at work 16:44
he might let me go, which would cause a dire catastrophe in my life 16:45
is it okay to hate javascript?

they probably wouldn't understand my complaint
TimToady if you're thinking suicidal thoughts, then yes
if you're on antidepressants, you should call your doctor and talk about it 16:47
sjohnson ahh i would never kill myself, just get pretty bummed out from time to time 16:48
TimToady if you're simply *unhappy*, then probably not
16:48 _jaldhar left
sjohnson having to work with PHP and javascript 90% of the day, everyday 16:48
TimToady it's quite possible to be unhappy without being clinically depressed
azawawi moritz_: perfect, now i have a couple of examples regarding Six updater 16:49
moritz_: thanks, moritz_++
TimToady it's also quite possible to be clinically depressed and blame it on your unhappiness :)
mofino sjohnson, at least you have that, you could be stuck with a lifetime of manual labour
not that there is anything wrong with manual labour...
huf i beg to differ
sjohnson true, i did that a lot in highschool
diakopter sjohnson: let's get to the bottom of your JS hatred. :) What about JS gets to you? I suspect there's a way to Perlify it...? 16:50
sjohnson got paid dick all and was made fun of all the time for being smarter than them :)
mberends perldoc Timer::Hires
sjohnson things like declaring $string = '';
to instantiate a string
mberends er, wrong window :|
sjohnson and forgetting to do that, and everything hanging if i do a += opperand
variables being null when passed by functions having to always be "babysitted" 16:51
in the functions themselves
mofino doesn't sound so horrendeous 16:52
diakopter anything else?
16:52 azawawi left

diakopter sjohnson: me 2
mdxi nevermind that, then :)
sjohnson trying to edit CSS properties in firebugs from its interface is like pulling teeth
diakopter sjohnson: do you use a Windows machine?
sjohnson yes, windows XP
diakopter have you tried IE8's JS debugger? it's *many* times faster than firebug, and much much easier to navigate imho. 16:54
sjohnson interesting...
does it come with IE8?
diakopter yeah
hit F12
pugs_svn r28288 | moritz++ | [new perl6.org] fix link 16:55
diakopter the function call profiler with it is also excellent
moritz_ what I don't like about js is that new blocks don't introduce new scopes
diakopter every time I try to use the JS "dev tools" in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, I'm severely disappointed by breakage, ugliness, and slowness, and end up going back to IE8's debugger. 16:56
but I keep giving the latest builds' another chance every week or two 16:57
:)
mdxi (opera has one now, too, called dragonfly. don't know anything about its quality or workings though)

well, maybe trailing apostrophe with implied "dev tools"

sjohnson TimToady: do you like any other languages besides Perl?
TimToady English is pretty okay 17:05
Japanese is kinda fun
moritz_ TimToady: I'll see how that looks 17:06
sjohnson i like Japanese a lot too
it's "cute"
diakopter I tried speaking in tongues once, but I glossed over its lexicon too quickly. 17:07

chturne Apologies if this is a FAQ, but where is the help needed at the moment in Perl 6? 17:38
(Or, wheres a good place to start)
TimToady chturne: well, here on irc, and perl6.org, and all the links you find there 17:41
are you familiar with Perl 5?
chturne Yes 17:42
17:43 alexn_org joined
chturne Ah, I didn't see that link before. I guess a good starting place would be to write lots of Perl 6 code then! And file good bug reports :D 17:43
TimToady then perlgeek.de/blog-en/perl-5-to-6/ is useful as a bootstrap
chturne: yes, real code finding real bugs is The Best 17:44
chturne Thanks TimToady.
TimToady chturne: note, on the perl-5-to-6 link, you want to visit in the order down on the left margin 17:46
since it bloggily comes up in reverse order

Tene HI TIM 18:06
TimToady almost types /kick
Tene who's being kicked? 18:07
TimToady sorry, just a C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[Cstartle reflex when someone shouts 18:09
o.O 18:10
Tene o.O
huf that's an odd reflex there
TimToady O.o
huf and who took my fork!
Tene Hmm. Apparently you are startled.
timbunce Has any thought been given to teaching the ohloh.net code scanner how to recognize perl6 code? 18:11
TimToady universal negatives are difficult
timbunce um, how about has it been discussed? 18:12
TimToady not that I know of
(difficult to prove, but not difficult to disprove) 18:13
Tene TimToady: should closures and subs be printable?
TimToady (except for the part about finding the disproof....)
Tene: I'd think the default should be yes, though exactly what you mean by "closure" is subject to ambiguity 18:14
we can certainly get at the original code, at least until it's thrown away
but I suspect that throwing away the source code will not be default, is what I mean 18:15
Tene What do you think about: sub f ($a, $b) { say $a, $b }; my $c = &f.assuming(5); say $c;
TimToady however, a real closure is also all the lexical state it captures around it
18:16 jauaor joined
jauaor :) 18:16
18:16 alexn_org left
timbunce In the hope I can tickle someone into contributing a perl6 recognizer for ohloh, the project page is sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ohcount/ 18:17
TimToady well, there's always (sub f ($a, $b) { say $a, $b }).assuming(5) 18:18
or some such
Tene Eh, true.
TimToady but one would perhaps like the simplified form
which you could also do for closures with known bindings, presumably
it's just a matter of traversing the AST and doing all the substitutions in the right order :) 18:19
easy...
Tene Would "-> $b { say 5, $b }" be valid?
TimToady I'd think something like that would be okay 18:20
Tene Hmm. Okay.
TimToady likewise if $a had been in the outer lexical scope instead of a param
well, except for the rw-ness of $a 18:21
hmm
if we lose the container identity it could be problematic
Tene Well, it's probably relevant to ask what the purpose of stringification is. Is it just to provide information to the programmer? an attempt at serialization?
TimToady I'm thinking that, at least within a process, we have a way of designating a particular lexical scope frame with an opaque (autogenned?) designator 18:23
so you'd end up with -> $b { say SOMEMAGICdeadbeef::<$a>, $b } for the lexical $a
Tene Hmm. That doesn't seem like it would be particularly useful for serialization or for the programmer... 18:24
TimToady and serializing that would probably assume some kind of snapshot of the current value
it's potentially useful to distinguish two different $a values in the debugger 18:25
if you see that deadbeef isn't hte same as deadface
Tene although, should ~ and .perl() of &c be different? 18:26
are there implied different purposes for those?
TimToady there's no guarantee that ~ has to be parseable
merely human readable
it's okay for ~ to be ambiguous for non-essential details, for instance 18:27
~%hash is ambiguous if keys or values contain tab, for instance
Tene So, for example, ~ could have '5' and .perl could have deadface::
TimToady yeah 18:28
Tene Okay. :) 18:29
18:29 timbunce left
muixirt hmm ... Arrays are lists of data of the same type that are indexed by number? 18:33
TimToady where "same type" is often just Object 18:34
jauaor wonders if there is a way to induce his former employer to use perl6 :P 18:35
TimToady yes, but it might take a few more years 18:36
has something to do with world domination first
jauaor haha
TimToady: former employer wants me to get into ruby
mmm....
18:37 stephenlb left
TimToady well, you could be a double agent, I suppose 18:38
muixirt "Arrays are lists of data objects that are indexed by number" would be a better explanation? 18:39
jauaor TimToady: haha
muixirt was looking at en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Perl_6_Progra...s_and_Data 18:44
TimToady it's probably wrong
cognominal TimToady, can MAD in Perl 5 can be used for syntactic highligting? How to get the output anyway? 18:46
TimToady it could, but you need to compile Perl 5 specially to get MADSKILLS 18:47

TimToady cognominal: offhand, I don't remember all the details, but you set PERL_MADSKILLS in the environment, and then a debug dump of some sort spits out raw mad xml
cognominal thx
TimToady which you run through nomad to move things around to sane locations on the tree 18:54
other than that, you'll have to look at the source code
I'm not sure how much it has mutated since I last looked at it
18:54 stephenlb joined
cognominal that's probably enough to get me started... 18:55
I see indeed to env vars PERL_XMLDUMP and PERL_MADSKILLS
TimToady most of the code can be found by greping for MAD or mad 18:56
the basic idea is that it modifies the actual Perl 5 tree as little as possible, just annotating all the places where Perl lied to itself
nomad is what does the "unlying" 18:57

muixirt sounds complicated 19:22
cognominal in what format is the STD parse tree? I guess I have already asked, by my memory is volatile
diakopter there's a YAML emitter and a "JSON" (not really JSON, but JS) emitter I wrote... 19:23

TimToady syntheticore: you call it as %!foo.{}, which is not the same as self.{} 20:22
syntheticore TimToady: exactly 20:23
so I think my own implementation of {} shouldn't even be called, as I mean the Hash method with this 20:24
TimToady I agree
syntheticore nice ;) 20:25
moritz_ [email@hidden.address] for bug reports
TimToady oh, wait...
moritz_ hasn't really been paying attention
syntheticore so how can I work around this for the moment? Not use the operator at all?
TimToady %!foo()() should work 20:26
er, try %!foo().{}
nope, but at least a different error 20:27
syntheticore => invoke() not implemented in class 'Hash'
TimToady well, at least we know it knows it's a Hash now... 20:28
syntheticore say $!foo.perl in the postcircumfix method also fails with "No such attribute '%!foo'"
so it seems the operator is not seen as a real method right now 20:29
20:30 cmv joined
TimToady well, it's simply dispatching to the wrong routine somehow 20:30
syntheticore ok, I guess I'll just use a regular method instead for now 20:32
TimToady if you declare $self explicilty as Bar it just fails when it calls the wrong routine 20:33
oh, here's sort of a workaround 20:34
make it: class Bar does Associative {...}
you get a warning, but the right answer
20:35 ruoso left
syntheticore hmm, doesn't work for me.. 20:37
same result
incidentally, the real code where this happens already uses "does Associative" 20:38
TimToady oh, I also have it %!foo{1} without hte . 20:39
strange
it's possible that it's getting mixed up with %!foo() notation somehow too 20:40
but it'll probably take jnthn++ or pmichaud++ to chase it down
in any case, definitely a bug 20:41
syntheticore yeah, I'm getting that feeling too ;)
TimToady syntheticore++
syntheticore another question: How is the syntax for set operations supposed to work: && and ||, AND and OR, something entirely different? 20:42
