arnsholt Question: Where does the implementation of gather/take live in Rakudo? (ng branch) 00:07
jnthn arnsholt: See src/cheats/gatheriterator.pir 00:09
and src/builtins/control.pir for take

arnsholt Tene: Thanks. And you're probably right 00:33
00:33 s1n left
arnsholt The ng one is lazy, and implemented with coroutines. Which kinda makes me go cross-eyed. My Ruby hack just uses dynamic scope 00:33
00:34 s1n joined
Tene does ruby have resumable exceptions? 00:34
that's the core of rakudo's implementation 00:35
arnsholt I honestly have no idea. But I don't think so
And that feature is ludicrously devious and useful
Tene blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat....talk/96526 00:36
mentions an implementation
arnsholt Hmm. Interesting 00:37
Tene hmm...
arnsholt ATM I just use an accumulator variable with dynamic scope
00:37 colomon left
arnsholt Coming from a bout of Lisp programming, it seemed like the obvious choice. Only drawback is that it makes the accumulator available for fiddling from client code 00:38
Which might cause problems

TimToady well, that's wrong, I think

Track dispatch - only if you get your C debugger out. :-/

quester_ masak:no, I was just musing on the Perl5 "0 but true" idiom and decided to Google it. I was wondering if my local copy of Rakudo was broken when it barfed on $x=0 but True;. It looks like it's just not implemented fully yet, I think. 12:31
masak that's correct. 12:32
I think it was at some time.
but it was fraught with problems like infinite loops.

The infinite loop was just a very bad way of saying so. :-) 12:35

pmichaud I can tone down "Perl 6 arrives" if needed. It's just what shows up on a busy 7am morning.
PerlJam good morning 14:01
pmichaud: no way! the world needs more bravery. :) 14:02
masak is on the fence about 'arrives'
pmichaud: your call :)
PerlJam so ... is Rakudo Star an "implementation of Perl 6" or a "distribution of a Perl 6 implementation" (or does it matter?)
I mean, people don't typically talk about RedHat, Debian, Gentoo, etc. as "linux implementations" as much as "linux distributions" 14:03
moritz_ that's because they ship the same kernel, more or less 14:04
PerlJam moritz_: Perl 6's kernel is STD :)
(more or less) 14:05
moritz_ not really
14:06 drbean left
PerlJam Maybe I'm just weird but I think the semantic details of STD are more important to Perl 6 than the vagaries of a particular implementation. 14:07
masak PerlJam: I see what you mean. 14:08
pmurias PerlJam: rakudo does not use STD? 14:09
masak guess it depends on whether the implementations will use STD.pm wholesale, or whether they'll modify it somehow, as Rakudo ng is doing now.
PerlJam pmurias: sure it does ... more or less :)
moritz_ it doesn't actually use it
PerlJam STD is the platonic ideal that all implementations share. 14:10
masak there's that meme again! :)
14:13 ruoso joined 14:15 ignacio_ joined
masak it just struck me: Perl 5 and Perl 6 are 'the same language' in much the same way US English and British English are the same language. 14:15

Trashlord I'm just reading through an open book called Perl 6 Programming, in wikibooks. Just found out about lazy lists and junctions, really awesome 14:21
pmichaud I still claim that STD and Rakudo are converging to a common ideal.
as opposed to claiming that STD is the ideal that Rakudo should adopt. 14:22
masak pmichaud++ # that's a nive way to view it, yes
that's the whirlpool part, when reality influences the ideals, and not just the other (pure) way around. :) 14:23
PerlJam pmichaud: STD is just a convienent moniker for the platonic ideal that STD.pm strives for :)
pmichaud: that STD.pm and Rakudo strive for
pmichaud PerlJam: fair enough. But when people say "Rakudo does not use STD?" it bugs me a bit. :)
I could just as easily say "smop doesn't use PGE?" 14:24
Trashlord hey, are sockets implemented in Perl 6?
masak Trashlord: yes.
Trashlord excellent
masak Trashlord: Web.pm can use them to establish a Perl 6-only web server.
PerlJam Trashlord: do you mean "are sockets specced in Perl 6?" or do you mean "are sockets implemented in Rakudo?" or ??? :-)
Trashlord PerlJam: I mean in rakudo 14:25
masak '...implemented in some Perl 6 implementation...' :)
Trashlord yeah, I guess I should start calling it rakudo, since that's what I use, heh
masak depends what you're referring to :P
Trashlord is there something like IO::Socket from Perl 5? 14:26
colomon pmichaud: I like "Perl 6 arrives". Helps make a point and spur us on.

pmichaud jnthn/mberends/others: after consulting with jonasbn, I think I'll head directly to CPH instead of trying to make it to Dutch Perl Workshop.
masak did I understand correctly that jnthn and mberends will show up on the Friday? 14:32
14:32 moritz_ sets mode: +oooo arnsholt pmichaud Trashlord colomon
pmichaud Dutch Perl Workshop is on Friday. 14:32
masak aha.
mberends pmichaud: ok, look forward to seeing you there - on Saturday morning :)
pmichaud they will make it to CPH on Saturday early.
masak right. I misread mberends++'s last message to p6ws. 14:33
pmurias pmichaud: how does STD need to converge with rakudo? the issues i'm aware of is that the implemenation of STD is too slow and there are bugs lurking in the produced AST
masak he's planning to do his talk from Friday again in Copenhagen. now I get it. :)
pmichaud pmurias: STD is focused almost exclusively on "how does one parse perl 6", but not necessarily "how does one build an ast/translate a program." The two are not always the same. 14:34
pmurias: there are several places where things we've done in Rakudo and NQP have fed back in to become significant changes to STD 14:35
one of the biggest is the <O(...)> approach to handling operator precedence instead of STD's previous %additive mechanism for doing so 14:36
NQP also prompted the elimination of the <noun> subrule.
There are also places where rakudo and nqp are likely to influence the handling of language braids. 14:37
14:38 iblechbot left
PerlJam pmurias: STD doesn't *need* to converge with Rakudo, it *wants* to. :-) 14:40
masak even the implementation of GGE has influenced STD.pm :) 14:42
(ever so slightly) 14:43
Trashlord masak: you're the author of proto? 14:44
masak the first of quite a few, yes.
Trashlord cool
masak :)
Trashlord I was just wondering about a nice way to install modules (so I can get IO/Socket.pm), and found it 14:45
masak right. IO::Socket actually comes with Rakudo itself.
Trashlord oh
masak so if you have Rakudo, you already have IO::Socket
Trashlord didn't know that, heh
so everything I see in rakudo's directory in github, comes with it? 14:46
masak aye.
Trashlord awesome
masak that generalizes to all github projects, by the way. :)
moritz_ well, not everything in every github project is actually installed 14:47
masak true. but it's downloaded.
which was what I took Trashlord's 'comes with it' to mean.

"And now, the weather. A dominace frontier is entering Europe from the south..." 14:53
pmurias masak: they are needed for calculating where to insert phi functions while converting to SSA 14:57
masak pmurias: excellent. what's a phi function, and what's SSA? 14:58
pmurias en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSA 14:59
masak gives me a disambiguation page. 15:02
so now I know it can mean a lot of things. 15:03
moritz_ single static assignment, I guess
pmurias yes 15:04
masak wow, what an amazing coincidence. I have use of this in my $WORK today.
cool.
pmurias masak: how do you use SSA at work? 15:05
masak I don't yet, but the model it implies might be of use to me.
