TimToady Perl 6 does not allow null arguments anywhere except after the final ,
lue But obviously, rakudo does :) 00:44
Perl6: where not an error is an error itself.
TimToady I didn't design rakudo. :)

lue ruoso: you has it easy, you can just hold down a couple of control character (Ctrl+Alt, methinks) and then the hex number of the unicode you wish to use. 00:57
ruoso yeah... in fact I thought I would need to input both as a single character 00:58
but i can just use the second alone after any other character and it will compose them together

ruoso implementing async IO and missing feed operators 01:30
colomon \o/
ruoso forgot to mention that was Perl 5
ruoso just realized that phrase could be understood as if he was implementing the feed operators.. 01:31
colomon I thought that seemed like a big task... ;) 01:33
ruoso but that does depend on the vm threading model 01:34
since async IO is tightly related to implicit threading
and the threading model is a harder problem per se 01:36
specially if we want to deal with perl5
ruoso .oO( it's so easy to accept a Global Interpreter Lock )
but I always keep getting back at the IO language and Erlang... 01:38
my idea nowadays is around an object "belonging" to a thread, and everytime you want to talk to a foreign object that would result in a message being sent to the thread that owns the objet 01:40

cdent.org/examples/
cdent has a few input dialects that are small/strict/strongly-implicitly-typed subsets of popular languages 06:35
diakopter cool 06:36
I'm doing something similar for a .net backend for STD
ingy they all generate the same cdent tree, which can be used to generate modules in hopefully a dozen langs
I wrote the prototype in Python actually 06:37
it's not a terrible language
and it has great yaml support! (hahaha) 06:38
which I use kinda heavily
well the grammar and serialized asts are yaml
grammar_s_ I mean
python really lacks in it's module planning 06:39
you can't have one guy write text.mangle and another guy write text.hoople 06:40
so people come up with lots of whacky top level namespaces 06:41
seems like they didn't really plan for CPAN like success
diakopter: what's STD again? 06:42
sorear hey, I was working on something vaguely sort of like that
diakopter STD is the name of Larry's Perl 6 front-end 06:43
short for "Standard"
ingy oh right
sorear it was a multitarget compiler turning NQP into shell scripts, DCL, Windows .exe, and anything else on an as-needed basic
diakopter as in "definitive"
sorear as an autoconf replacement
ingy sorear: C'Dent is squarely targeted at portable modules for the OSCON langs 06:44
or the O'Reilly langs
as I like to call em
I finally got the impl doing a complete grammar based parse of one lang and emitters for 6 langs 06:45
for the simplest possible definition of C'Dent 06:46
Module>Class>Method>Println
sorear I don't get either reference
06:46 Trashlord joined
ingy enough for hello-world 06:46
of 06:47
sorear OSCON, O'Reilly
I know one is a conference and the other is a book publisher
ingy OSCON langs == Perl Python Ruby JS
sorear but not what either has to do with sets of languages
ingy also P6 and Py3
diakopter the ones with named tracks at the oreilly conference named oscon 06:48
?
ingy yeah
the conference that (like OSDC) brings everyone together to go off and be isolated :)
osdc.tw/2010/03/schedule_please_che...r_gun.html 06:49
sorear: that kinda explains what I mean 06:50
diakopter: I almost called C'Dent 'Pyrl' 06:51
06:51 aufrank left
ingy because I have pyrl.org... 06:51
want it?
;)
diakopter heh 06:52
ingy I think that would have been an unfortunate choice...
diakopter I have a bunch of domain names with perl in the name
used to have a lot more
ingy I have perlster.org 06:53

Trashlord 5i?
ingy I've had perl5i for many years

jnthn morning 09:05
phenny jnthn: 05:33Z <quester_> tell jnthn - Thank you very much for the answer to the "our sub ..." question.
sorear Are any of Rakudo's competitors currently viable for applications? 09:06
jnthn moritz_: It's only sort of a bug, fwiw.
moritz_ jnthn: care to elaborate?
jnthn Oh, maybe it is...
moritz_ sorear: depends on the application :-)
jnthn Anyway, the issue isn't so much that outer lexical candidates don't get found.. 09:07
moritz_ sorear: the most usable besides rakudo are probably pugs and elf, both of which aren't developed anymore
jnthn ...it's that operators are not lexical in the setting yet.
moritz_ ah
but they could be?
jnthn Not yet without causing far too much breakage.
moritz_ :(
jnthn We've got some really quite awkward issues relating to lexicals at BEGIN/INIT time. 09:08
09:08 barney joined
sorear moritz_: something with a fair amount of metamodel funny business and a need for external libraries 09:09
moritz_ sorear: then ask pmurias about mildew when he's around
sorear: it's based on smop, which in turn explored many corners of the meta model 09:10
jnthn sorear: Just tried to build Blizkost and I get: 09:15
bkmarshal.c(134) : error C2065: 'my_perl' : undeclared identifier
Also various warnings liek: 09:16
bkmarshal.c(134) : warning C4047: 'function' : 'struct interpreter *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int '
That's on MS VC++
sorear uhhh 09:17
jnthn SETATTR_P5Scalar_sv(interp, pmc, SvREFCNT_inc(sv)); 09:18
That's the line it balks on
sorear apparently, SvREFCNT_inc requires a lexical interpreter only on !__GNUC__
jnthn Ah
In that case, probably it's not such a tricky fix.
sorear change SvREFCNT_inc to SvREFCNT_inc_simple_NN and it'll work 09:20
SvREFCNT_inc guarantees to evaluate its argument only once
# define SvREFCNT_inc(sv)>-----\ 09:21
>-------((PL_Sv=MUTABLE_SV(sv)) ? (++(SvREFCNT(PL_Sv)),PL_Sv) : NULL)
jnthn sorear: oh, I'd done it by having a lexical my_perl
Is that OK too?
sorear yes
jnthn OK, cool, I'll commit htat.
moritz_ are revision control conflict markers ( <<<<<<< ) always at the start of the line? 09:22
sorear yes
moritz_ so it's quite easy to safely plug into STD.pm
jnthn sorear: That gets us through the compile, but the linking is busted.
oh heh

sorear jnthn: are you using -W11 with MSVC too? 09:23

moritz_ I've seen that one failing too
masak hm, pdflatex comes with the tetex package on MacPorts, methinks.
I haven't backlogged yet, but it seems that hanekomu quit due to yesterday's debacle. 09:34
as in 'quit being a Perl 5 community member'.
moritz_ I don't think he did
reading mst's last twit
masak ok, good.
sorear jnthn: the makefile language may be widely understood but our makefiles can only be understood by people far above my level
jnthn sorear: Grrr. When I run that test file under the debugger, it fails to segfault. 09:36
sorear: It does pass the test anyway, but segfaults on exit.
moritz_ so... global destruction? :( 09:37
jnthn Dunno, because it refuses to segv under the debugger. :-(
But very possibly.
sorear jnthn: the handling of global destruction in blizkost is very fragile, I'm suprised it doesn't currently segfault on linux 09:38
jnthn Ah, OK.
Should make install work?
Or not yet?
sorear the fundamental issue is that the p5whatever destructors need to refer to the interpeter
but neither Perl5 nor Parrot have any concept of ordered destruction
quester_ I have a patch to make sort work properly... I thinkf.. but I have a few questions about style and tests. Would anyone care to discuss that now...?

09:39 dakkar left
jnthn sorear: No, it fails 09:39
sorear: But that's OK, at least that means it's not a Win32 specific brokenness. :-) 09:40
sorear right now it's impossible to dynload blizkost from rakudo
due to a very weird bug which I don't understand at all, but tentatively assigned to Parrot
jnthn I'd expect it'd need make install for that.
sorear since it causes completely nonsensical stack traces
no, I'm testing perl6 -e 'pir::load_bytecode("./perl5.pbc")' 09:41
quester_ Okay, thanks masak. After creating a [Parrot] ResizablePMCArray I need to populate it. I'm using this... $index_PARROT_RPA.push($_) for ^self.elems; ... but I'm not sure if there is any convention about which methods are supposed to work for RPA's.
sorear it also fails with the installed absolute path to nqp.pbc, so I don't think it's my fault
09:41 yinyin left
sorear in any event, not being able to load the library from the only major language that's working well on parrot renders the library useless 09:42
jnthn :/
masak quester_: why are you creating a Parrot ResizablePMCArray?
quester_ I've noticed that .say, .perl, and .elems don't work for RPA's, and several simple-looking things like @index_PARROT_RPA = ^self.elems; replace an RPA with a Perl6 Array.
masak yes, I think you should. 09:43
jnthn quester_: Working with an RPA from Perl 6 space may not end particularly well.
sorear: I'd really like to try and get it working at some level soonish. 09:44
moritz_ in the long run that's something that Rakudo should support, for HLL interop
jnthn sorear: Gotta do @other_task now, but may be able to have a dig tonight.
Anyway, at least it builds again on Win32 now. :-) 09:45
quester_ Oh, that. Patrick Michaud rewrote sort for Rakudo-ng. He wanted to use the Parrot sort for speed, but he wanted to keep the code in Perl 6, probably to make it somewhat easier to read and maintain.
AFAIK, since Perl6 sort and Parrot sort are both methods, the only way to control which one is called is to use sort on an appropriate object. 09:46
jnthn quester_: That all matches up with what I understood of it too. 09:47
quester_ The existing release of Rakudo uses Parcel for that, but that means that sorting a Parcel goes to the underlying Parrot sort, which doesn't work quite the same way. For instance, the first example in the Perl 6 book, the one about tennis... 09:48
moritz_ right
(table tennis scores, actually :-)
quester_ ... fails because it uses sort with a monadic (unary?) "by" parameter, on a Parcel that was returned by a previous sort. I fixed that, but I'm not sure how fragile using .push on an RPA might be. 09:49

jnthn Tough.
The metaclass of the thing we use to implement the ClassHOW metaclass doesn't support introspection.

ruoso now we just need the matching iterator in the signature binding to allow varying-multi reduce
sorear, because you can customize the invocation

masak I could easily imagine spending the summer actually writing the u4x documentation. maybe I should submit that as a GSoC proposal, too. 12:28
does feel slightly strange, though, since I originated the project...
moritz_ masak: read the program guidelines first

sorry
copy & paste gone wrong

moritz_ socghop.appspot.com/document/show/g...c2010/faqs
masak hm. that's the one I just read. :) 12:30
must've missed the part about 'primarily code'.
but fair enough. then I don't have to consider u4x.
moritz_ the combination of windows Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v and putty mark/Ctrl+Insert is... interesting
erm, shift+insert 12:31
masak hm, I'll remove "User level documentation and examples - svn.pugscode.org/pugs/docs/u4x/READM" from "Rakudo Projects" on www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index....0_projects
it's not a Rakudo project, and it's not a primarily-code project. :)
moritz_ please do
masak done. 12:36
there was a bit of further confusion/duplication between the "Perl 6" and "Rakudo" headings. I fixed that. 12:37
moritz_ masak++
so... have you decided on a topic yet? :-)
masak I'll submit a Buf proposal. 12:38
moritz_ great!
masak yes, I think it will be.
moritz_ really looks forward to seeing both the proposal and the work 12:39
masak :) 12:40
moritz_ have you thought of a mentor yet? maybe jnthn?
masak haven't thought of it, but jnthn sounds like an appropriate mentor for this. 12:41
there will be a bit of Parrot guts involved.
moritz_ IMHO technical guidance and mentoring can mostly be detangled
masak in that case, I'd take any of the #perl6 frequenters as a mentor. 12:42
I don't have any strict preferences, at least. 12:43
mathw Don't pick me!

i am probably just retarded, but i am trying to figure out how ints, strings, etc. work (the constants) in rakudo, they don't have any attributes... 13:59
moritz_ ash_: parrot provides PMC "boxes" for the native types 14:00
(int, num, str)
and afaict Rakudo uses those
ash_ but is there a way to do Int.new?
14:00 meppl joined
ash_ rakudo: say Int.new(5); 14:00
p6eval rakudo 8c434e: OUTPUT«0␤»
ash_ or should they be some special constant internally?
masak since Int values are immutable, expecting to get a new instance out of .new is a bit suspicious. 14:01
even apart from the fact that you're already sending it the instance you want :)
ash_ yeah, but that could be $a, you could not know what your sending it 14:02
moritz_ ash_: then you want $a.Int
ash_ ah, good point
jnthn It's probably fine that how you get an Int is an implementation detail rather than having a spec'd way. 14:08

jnthn ash_: In Perl 6 too. :-) 14:31

ingy CokeBot9000: corba? 15:23
CokeBot9000 It's been 15 years and I still mistype that. =-) 15:24
ingy CokeBot9000: corba is pretty heavy weight though, no?
I mean with C'Dent you just use a Python module that happened to be written in Perl 6 15:25
you don't know that C'Dent was involved
moritz_ you'll certainly see that the code is generated, no?
ingy I don't know much about corba, but doesn't it involve a pretty heavy runtime?
PerlJam ingy: I'd know C'Dent was involved just by looking at the first line of the module :) 15:26
ingy moritz_: when is the last time you looked inside inside the modules you use everyday though
moritz_ ingy: I do that pretty often - whenever I get errors from inside the modules 15:27
(which is far too often)
ingy but you're special
:)
CokeBot9000 ingy: I see C'Dent -> Perl6 and C'Dent -> python ... is there one that converts back to C'Dent?
moritz_ and I also want to write patches for my modules, now and then
ingy I mean the point is that C'Dent is write once, upload everywhere 15:28
moritz_ I understand that
CokeBot9000 so you're not running a pythong module that is written in perl6. it's written in cdent.
ingy CokeBot9000: it's written in the C'Dent subset of Perl 6 15:29
but is pure Python at runtime
it's just a way to get module hackers to start thinking outside of their programming languages 15:30
and sharing with others
pausenclown what the hell is 'use MONKEY_TYPING'?
ingy it also might be a way to write Perl mods once for p5 and p6
pmurias pausenclown: it enables monkey patching
ingy or py2 and py3
masak pausenclown: know about the 'augment' and 'supersede' keywords? 15:31
pausenclown nope.

ingy masak: we are almost a year late to pair up! 15:32
masak ingy: I know! and the need still exists.
still no YAML parser for Perl 6.
moritz_ but now we have <?(...)> in regexes
which will make it a bit easier 15:33
ingy masak: but right now... this very hour... I am going to write a perl6 parser in YAML!
pmurias ruoso: the other thing i'm not sure about is how to expand the benefits to the Perl community section of the proposal
masak ingy: good luck.
moritz_ ingy: you know that such a thing already exists?
masak ingy: if you put it on github or the like, I might contribute.
moritz_ STD.pm can parse itself 15:34
and turn itself into a YAML AST
ingy moritz_: :)
pausenclown ... use "supersede" instead of "augment"...but don't do that, ...
lol
moritz_ so it's just a matter of transforming that AST into the format that you need
anyway, afk
ingy moritz_: one sec 15:35
ruoso pmurias, you could expand the part where SMOP will enable, in a near future, the complete interoperability between Perl 5 and Perl 6 by the binary-type compatibilization of SV* and SMOP__Object* 15:36
ingy moritz_: I need it in this form: github.com/ingydotnet/cdent/blob/ma...ld.cd.yaml
:)
15:36 frzntoz joined
ruoso pmurias, i.e.: the perl 5.14 will support Perl 6 (5.12 will be out soon) 15:36
ingy but I really meant that I am going to write a parser for the C'Dent subset of Perl 6
which is I can actually do in less than an hour :) 15:37
just a grammar in YAML...
pausenclown speaking of OO. Are there corresponding keywords to Mooses' around, after and before?
ingy masak: it's all in github 15:38
ruoso pausenclown, not in the core, but given the flexibility of the Perl 6 object system, implementing that modifier in a module is very straightforward 15:39
TimToady pausenclown: not keywords, since Perl 6 doesn't really have any, but there are similar concepts 15:40
you can wrap any routine, not just a method
that gives you "around", of which before and after are merely subsets
or if you want something more like contracts, PRE and POST traits will do that 15:41
15:41 colomon joined
TimToady or if you just want to have actions that always fire when you enter or leave a block, ENTER and LEAVE will do that 15:41
ruoso TimToady, but wrap doesn't have a declarator 15:42
which is what before, after and around are 15:43
TimToady declarators run code at compile time
ruoso sure sure... I was just clearing what the original question was
TimToady yes, the concepts could be declared with traits
pausenclown tx
TimToady because traits can run code at declaration time, and running code can run .wrap 15:44
pmurias ruoso: i'm adding INFERED-TYPE-CHECK($expr,'...p5 test for the inferred type...') to mildew to write tests for the type inferrence

masak ingy: again, good luck. looking forward to seeing the result, and/or contributing.
ruoso pausenclown, they're not cryptic, they're just a spec doc ;) 15:45
pmurias * INFERRED-TYPE-CHECK
TimToady they could use to be better organized in spots, fershure
ruoso pmurias, you mean as a pre-declared symbol?
pausenclown i read that dispatcher part several times but i don't grok it. how/on what do i call nextsame et. al?
TimToady but I worry more about getting the correct facts in there somewhere, and then they can always be moved later
pmurias ruoso: propably only declared when a special pragma is seen by the compiler 15:46
TimToady pausenclown: you know how loop labels work in Perl 5?
ruoso pmurias, I think it's ok with the pragma
pausenclown sure
pmurias ruoso: it will be turned into a special AST node
TimToady imagine that every dispatcher has a loop
looping over its list of candidates
this loop has a lable, say "CANDIDATE:" 15:47
nextsame is basically just 'next CANDIDATE;'
pausenclown oh yeah, i get THAT
TimToady that's my mental model of it, more or less
ruoso I think the key to underestand it is that the method invocation is not internal to the object, it is external... the code that handles that invocation is "the dispatcher" and it belongs to the language runtime, not to each object
pausenclown but how do i call that sub. as a method on self, global sub,.. ? 15:48
TimToady but nextsame/nextwith also tell the dispatcher whether to call it with the original set of arguments or a new set
I don't understand your question 15:49
pausenclown ok. what is the invocant of nextsame?
TimToady whatever it was before
15:49 cotto_work left
ruoso I think he meant syntatically 15:49
pausenclown in rakudo, it tried self.nextsame, .nextsame and nextsame. none of them worked 15:50
but that might be an implementation issue
15:51 Trashlord joined
TimToady likely. a simple 'nextsame;' should work with most dispatchers, eventually 15:52
pausenclown that croaked in rakudo with "unknown sub" or something similar 15:53
TimToady well, then, NYI
15:54 vorner left
TimToady the method forms, by the way, want an invocant indicating the next candidate routine to call, so they bypass the dispatcher's notion of the next candidate, and force it. 15:55

TimToady me being the guy who is supposed to see most of the elephant, all at once... 16:03
the blind guys tend to miss the symmetries...
pausenclown That's easy. Just make two steps backwards. ^^
cognominal TimToady, I hope you are careful to avoid to add the elephant factor to the bus factor. 16:04
TimToady it gets blurry when you do that :P
The elephant is, I hope, becoming real, while the bus is, I hope, remaining imaginary. 16:05

TimToady moritz_: the <<<<<<< patch, while well intended, is not quite right 16:06
pausenclown how to catch an elephant with binoculars, tweezers, and a match box?
TimToady line-oriented commentary should be handled in the same spot as pod docs
pausenclown: I live with someone who collects elephant jokes. I sincerely doubt you'll have a new one for me unless you make it up on the spot... :) 16:07
pausenclown heh. 16:08
You might try on her. The punchline is:
You look trough the binoculars reversed, pick up the elephant with the tweezers and put it into the match box. 16:10
TimToady That's casual to the most obvious observer.
REPLeffect In fairness to pausenclown, I didn't see it coming. 16:11
not that I was trying really hard.
TimToady you really only need binoculars if there are two elephants
REPLeffect TimToady: I'm guessing you'd heard it before 16:12
TimToady my wife tells it regularly
among about 200 others
REPLeffect I'm sorry. :D
pausenclown ok, so you obviously also know ho to detect an elephant in the fridge?
TimToady but for one elephant, a monocular will do, and a single tweezer.
sure, there are several ways, usually involving footprints. 16:13

16:41 nihiliad left, nihiliad joined
ingy oh crap, now I remember. rakudo's "use Foo;" doesn't look for .pm6 :( 16:42
jnthn Well, given I only knew it was spec that we should support that for about 5 minutes... :-)
ingy that's why I had Foo6.pm :\
jnthn ingy: src/Perl6/Module/Locator.pm is the file in need of a patch. ;-) ;-) 16:43
ingy jnthn: k :) 16:44
I assume that using .pm6 over .pm is correct
although not sure if .pm is higher in the depth
jnthn Oh, you probably want to pick all of them up 16:45
TimToady if there are both a .pm and a .pm6, we should probably assume the .pm is Perl 5
ingy yes
jnthn :-/
Yeah but then we gotta worry about precedence of extension vs precedence of version...
ingy but do we do a full depth search on .pm6 first? 16:46
jnthn (as in, module version)
TimToady well, a lot of people are going to be translating a lot of .pm files over the next few years
16:47 frzntoz left
ingy I suppose that putting p5 paths in @*INC is asking for trouble 16:47
we could at least detect it and give a helpful msg 16:48
don't put p5 and p6 in the same directory yo!
TimToady the cache of which files are where could actually look at the .pm files and determine if they are p5 or p6
jnthn I think as a first cut, we just add all possibilities to the candidate list.
TimToady ingy: I do that all the time! 16:49
ingy TimToady: me too :P
TimToady STD.pm gets translated to STD.pm5 currently
[particle] put a closure in @INC to figure it out
ingy sometimes you gotta change your ways for the greater good
TimToady which confuses NYTProf greatly...
ingy I think Perl is a good example of that ;)
see?! 16:50
jnthn Then later we can tweak the selection algorithm and be smarter about gracefully handling Perl 5 modules.
TimToady well, it's already specced that we look for 'package Foo;' in .pm files
ingy TimToady's propensity to DTRT bites again!
TimToady and assume pm6 is p6
ingy jnthn: are you saying that if you see .pm6 and .pm next to each other, to load both? 16:51
jnthn TimToady: Well, we assume everything you feed to Rakudo is Perl 6 right now... ;-)
ingy: No, to add both to the candidate list.
16:51 payload left
jnthn Then if one declares a higher version number or is the wrong authority it'll get dropped. 16:51
ingy jnthn: I see
jnthn If there's a conflict then I guess they complain.
TimToady jnthn: which, oddly enough, means Rakudo is *not* assuming that what it is getting in Perl 6, but the Perl 6-like language, Rakudo *
jnthn But we can add a tie-breaker later on. 16:52
TimToady versioning is orthogonal to the 5/6 decision
ingy jnthn: but after the selection algorithm is done you just load 1, right?
jnthn Oh sure.
ingy ok
TimToady except in the sense that 6 is new than 5 :)
jnthn TimToady: Kinda.
TimToady *newer
ingy well then I guess there is no performance penalty for searching the whole depth. we have to anyways 16:53
[particle] -1 is newer than 5 and 6.
TimToady you build the database once in any case
ingy perl6 can has a database
TimToady fsdo 16:54
jnthn TimToady: We all know that Rakudo * won't support all of Perl 6, that's hardly news. :/ 16:55
The trick is trying to be as much a subset as we can. 16:56

TimToady well, short term, we can just say that any .pm6 hides a .pm in the same location. 16:58

or PROCESS:: 19:33
which is how %*ENV presumably gets there
ash__ so GLOBAL::<$a> (or should that be $*a?) is the final fallback for $*a if there is no lexical scope that doesn't have that value?
slavik so, when can I buy the Perl6 book? 19:34
ash__ so, to force it to be global you'd have to do just straight up define a GLOBAL::<$*a> ? 19:35
slavik: its downloadable for free, if you mean the one on github
slavik ash__: I want the hard copy :)
bkeeler I'm sure the authors could make it available on one of those print-on-demand services like lulu 19:36
jnthn slavik: There will be print copies in the future. :-)
TimToady ash__: yes, or 'our $a' when GLOBAL is the current package. 19:39
(the * is removed for looking in packages)
ash__ can you not go back and define a new one at a later point in the runtime? 19:40

ingy what is a CLA and how do I sign one?
moritz_ not sure
PerlJam ah, I guess not
ingy :)
PerlJam CLA == contributor license agreement 21:13
moritz_ CLA = Contributor License Agreement
PerlJam it's on the Perl foundation website somewhere

ingy where do I send ?
thanks...
bkeeler The address is on the web site there
ingy I think
jnthn Generally though, some sane patches are also kinda a pre-req for a Rakudo commit bit. :-)
ingy :P
jnthn Well, or insanely good ones. ;-) 21:14
PerlJam jnthn: ingy will *never* get one then! All of his patches are insane
bkeeler 's patches are probably not sane
frettled PerlJam: hee-hee
moritz_ bkeeler: the first big one was sane enough to get applied
bkeeler I sent a CLA in, ready for whenever I'm judged sane enough
ingy 's insanity is the sanest of all 21:15
moritz_ bkeeler++
bkeeler Hmm, there appear to be two CLAs on the perlfoundation website, with different mailing addresses 21:18
www.perlfoundation.org/contributor_..._agreement and www.perlfoundation.org/attachment/legal/cla.txt
I sent mine to the Michigan address, not the Oregon one

[particle] oregon is a box near c
ingy anyway I got the CLA signed and am headed out to find a mailbox :) 21:25
[particle] michigan is a box near kurt
PerlJam ingy++ 21:26
[particle] oregon is possibly a new address, since kurt resigned as tpf treasurer
bkeeler Perhaps chromatic is the person to ask then 21:28
21:29 wknight8111 joined
ash__ so, to get a commit bit to rakudo, you need to sign a cla, is there anything else? 21:29
[particle] i pinged him in #parrot about it
ash__: you need to be approved 21:30
PerlJam ash__: some demonstrated ability doesn't hurt :)
bkeeler Who actually flips the bit? pm? 21:31
jnthn Yes.
[particle] pm manages the repo, yes
wknight8111 Demonstrated ability? Since when is that a requirement? :) 21:32
[particle] it's not well-documented on rakudo.org, based on a quick search
jnthn Of all the things that should be documented, I'd say this one is fairly far down the list. :-) 21:33
ash__ i am getting pretty far in my nq-nqp, although that may not be the demonstrative ability your looking for, i am hoping by maybe the end of the semester (5 weeks from now) i can have basic stuff working, function calls and looking, and things like that, then over the summer, in my spare time i'd like to implement grammars
jnthn ash__: Cool. 21:34
ash__: Are you looking at building it to be fairly NQP-compatible?
ash__ i am aiming for as much as possible, without anything PIR
jnthn Sure.
ash__ but syntax, and structure are going to be identitcal 21:35
jnthn Excellent.
ash__ it already parses and builds an AST for things like: sub foo($a) { $a + 2 }
i am just trying to get runtime support so I can have that be useful
jnthn :-) 21:36
jnthn should read up some more on llvm.
PerlJam speaking of ASTs ... did anyone see that grant where someone made Perl 5 ASTable? Seems like that could make a good bridge between Perl 5 and Perl 6
(though only if it works. Nicholas pointed out that it didn't even pass its own tests) 21:37
jnthn Might look if I can be AST.
er, I mean... :-)
