sena_kun last summer I introduced a typo in Exception.pod6 and noticed it only tonight. What a shame. 00:05
timotimo :D
i know what you did last summer
sena_kun lol 00:06

*hah
sena_kun ah, there goes another. I need to check my commits twice. 00:09
timotimo we do have spell checking now at least :) 00:10
sena_kun timotimo, the first case is a missing word, the second case is a missing bracket. God bless spell checker that can point out such cases! inb4: it's just you. 00:12

sena_kun ah, no, the second case *always* was there. \0/
agentzh never mind, found rt.perl.org/Public/Search/Results....=%27new%27
sena_kun agentzh, I was not quick enough, sorry. 00:17
agentzh sena_kun: no need to apologize at all :) i should have diged harder :) 00:18
just filed a ticket for the infinite looping with RAKUDO_MODULE_DEBUG=1: rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=130645
btw, is there a way to get perl 6 backtrace from inside gdb? 00:19
while being attached to the moar process?
brokenchicken agentzh: we also have perl6.fail that's a bit easier to get all-tickets-at-a-glance from 00:21

MasterDuke agentzh: there is a way, timotimo probably knows 00:29
agentzh brokenchicken: oh, nice! 00:30
MasterDuke: for parallel compilation?
MasterDuke agentzh: perl6 level backtrace in gdb 00:31
agentzh MasterDuke: oh great
00:32 BenGoldberg joined
MasterDuke something like there should be a tc variable, enter its frame and then type `bt` 00:33
but i haven't done it, so i'm just remembering bits and pieces of what i've seen other people say
agentzh: try `(gdb) print MVM_dump_backtrace(tc)` 00:35
agentzh MasterDuke: segfault 00:39
MasterDuke: seems like calling into the userland function is unsafe per se?
since gdb can interrupts into the process in any state.
*interrupt 00:40
MasterDuke: tried another p6 script, segfault as well. 00:42

agentzh seems like rakudo has issues handling timestamps of the dependency modules. 01:00
it always compiles some of the dep modules even though they have never been edited since the last compilation.
01:02 pyrimidine joined
agentzh everytime i edit a single .pm6 file of only 146 lines of code (including empty lines and comment lines), it always takes ~7 sec to compile. 01:05
this is very annoying.
though i must say it's much faster than re-compiling rakudo when changing the Core.setting module. 01:06
the latter takes more than a 1min :)
timotimo are you using Inline::Perl5 perhaps? 01:08
agentzh timotimo: nope.
pure Perl 6
timotimo there are modules that export "no precompilation" into their users
agentzh not even P5 regexes.
timotimo those don't matter
have you tried the module debug output thingie?

01:15 Cabanossi joined
agentzh *enter hot looping 01:15
from the partial module debug output before it enters the infinite loop, it seems that rakudo is indeed trying to recompile other p6 modules which at least indirectly depend on the changed .pm6 file. 01:16

cale2 Does p6 have type aliases? Or would you just use subset for that? 03:04
Also, how can I make a subset that is a List of Strings 03:05
m: subset WordList of List where *all items are strings*
camelia rakudo-moar 0ad05c: OUTPUT«5===SORRY!5=== Error while compiling <tmp>␤Two terms in a row␤at <tmp>:1␤------> 3subset WordList of List where *7⏏5all items are strings*␤ expecting any of:␤ infix␤ infix stopper␤ postfix␤ statement…»
cale2 I guess I'm basically wondering if the syntax is [Str] or List(Str) 03:08
hartenfels cale2 I think you can do subset WordList of List where { .all ~~ Str } 03:17
cale2 hartenfels: thanks! I got this so far 03:18
m: subset WordList of List where { $_.map: { $_ ~~ Str } }
camelia ( no output )
hartenfels Well, that's similar.
cale2 I figured there should be an all method though :) 03:19
hartenfels all will create an &-Junction, so that'll deal with the iteration for you.
03:19 azertus joined
hartenfels subset WordList of List where { .all ~~ Str }; say ("asdf", "jklö") ~~ WordList; say () ~~ WordList; say ("asdf", 123) ~~ WordList; 03:21

camelia rakudo-moar 0ad05c: OUTPUT«True␤True␤False␤»
03:23 agentzh joined
cale2 hartenfels: in the type system, is there an easier way to express a list of a type? 03:26
like [Str] or List(Str)
hartenfels Maybe you can do List[Str]
I'm not sure.
MasterDuke m: my Str @a 03:27
camelia ( no output )
MasterDuke m: my Str @a; @a[0] = 4
camelia rakudo-moar 0ad05c: OUTPUT«Type check failed in assignment to @a; expected Str but got Int (4)␤ in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1␤␤»
03:28 agentzh left
cale2 m: my [Str] @a; @a[0] = 4 03:28
camelia rakudo-moar 0ad05c: OUTPUT«5===SORRY!5=== Error while compiling <tmp>␤Malformed my␤at <tmp>:1␤------> 3my7⏏5 [Str] @a; @a[0] = 4␤»

hartenfels That works when declaring a variable at least.
But it's not the same to have an Array[Str] as it is to have an array that happens to have a bunch of strings in it.
cale2 Pretty annoying when you want to add a guard that this is a list of certain items 03:33
hartenfels m: my List[Str] $doesnt-work-either;
camelia rakudo-moar 0ad05c: OUTPUT«5===SORRY!5=== Error while compiling <tmp>␤An exception occurred while parameterizing List␤at <tmp>:1␤Exception details:␤ 5===SORRY!5=== Error while compiling <tmp>␤ List cannot be parameterized␤ at <tmp>:1␤ ------> 3my List[Str]…»
cale2 I guess it's not terrible to write `where { .all ~~Str }` all over
hartenfels You'd probably make a subset type.
cale2 but you'd have to do that for every list
I'm translating a haskell program from a while ago. That's why I'm asking
hartenfels You'd also have to specify [Str] for every list :P
cale2 hartenfels: maybe you could write a macro for type objects
if it's wrapped in square brackets, check to make sure it's a list of this type
I was gonna write Str anyway though lol 03:34
hartenfels I dunno, for me just specifying `subset Strs where { .all ~~ Str}` and then using `sub (Strs $bla)` seems fine.
And Strs is one less character than [Str]!
And it doesn't require you to write any macros of course. 03:36
cale2 That's true. Good call
Isn't there a github repo for comparing perl6 to other languages? 03:37
hartenfels There's RosettaCode.

cale2 Is there a functional difference between Strs and Chars in p6? 03:57
Would you typically just use the Str type even for individual graphemes? 03:58
03:58 agentzh joined
hartenfels cale2 There's a Char type? 03:58
cale2 hartenfels: I don't see it in the docs 03:59
hartenfels Then the functional difference between a Str and a Char is that the latter doesn't exist :P
cale2 I'll make a subtype 04:00

cale2 hartenfels: feel free to contribute, or just look at what i'm doing github.com/WildYorkies/perl6-mess 04:12
hartenfels cale2: I could probably whip up something in Perl 5, but I can't check what the Haskell one does since ghc takes about 3 years to compile in Gentoo. Is it supposed to let the user guess the letters or just play hangman with itself? 04:15
cale2 hartenfels, it's been a while since I touched the haskell code. maybe I'm leaving off the user input part by accident haha 04:16
hartenfels It doesn't look like it play at all actually. 04:18
cale2 hartenfels: I was mainly looking for single file programs from functional languages

raschipi brokenchicken: There's a strong parallel between variables and hash lines. You should make use of that, just give the programmer a single hash and have him use the lines as variables. 14:13
brokenchicken hm, some langs use "func" to declare functions, but usually have braces or "end" to signal end of its body. I'm surprised no one used "tion" to end such declarations. The "tion" matches the length of "func" AND the one and true ident width of 4 spaces. Makes things look pretty. 14:17
or shorten it to 3 chars: "fun" and "ion" :P
raschipi Identation is made with tabs. 14:18
And a tab is 8 spaces.
brokenchicken uhuh. I wanna see you write Perl 6 code using that. 14:19
raschipi It's the only aceptable way to do it, to be quite honest. 14:20
timotimo ===SORRY NOT SORRY!=== It seems like you're indenting your code with spaces. what the fuck is wrong with you! 14:21
brokenchicken raschipi: Perl 6 is not C. If you're using 8-spaced tabs, I hope you also plan on setting your line lengths to 200 chars 14:22
raschipi Yep, the compiler should enbforce it, this would be very helpful for programmers.

raschipi Perl5 and Perl 6 are TimToady's pet languages. 14:31
brokenchicken pmurias: Nah, bruh. It's a legit lang. I listened to complains about Perl 6 and solved them.... Like the logo stuff: github.com/perl7/perl7 14:32
Actually, the logo was the majorest issue. From what I understand this is what managers pay attention too. And with that solved, Perl 7 will flourish. The rest of the features are just details, though I think the single-character print function is sure to turn some of the heads, in today's fast-paced, no-time-for-nonsense world. 14:33

brokenchicken Wow, you're sure stepping up the insanity on the type checks :) 16:30
16:31 Gasher left
cale2 Having to deal with Lists, Seqs, and (possibly) Arrays sort of muddies the waters. This is where type signatures come in handy 16:31
moritz cale2: so use .comb.List
brokenchicken cale2: but what's the actual problem you're facing? So far you said you assumed one thing but (on HEAD) it's neither documented nor does return the thing you assumed it does
moritz cale2: or rely on Iterable or Positional
cale2 Because I could do a search for "Seq -> List" or "Array -> List"
moritz cale2: but really, don't treat strings as lists
cale2: subset Word of Str where /^ \w* $/; 16:32
cale2 Treating strings as a list of chars is quite a natural way to think about textual problems, though
moritz but it's not natural way in Perl 6 16:34
play to the language's strengths, not its weaknesses 16:35
brokenchicken Seq don't do Positional, only Iterable is shared between Seq and Lists. But note that Maps do it as well and I recall a convo on how about making QuantHash do it too

16:36 AlexDaniel joined
brokenchicken cale2: I saw your repo where you try to recreate programs in other languages to be close to other languages, but I think that's a good recipe for frustration and for missing out on learning all the good idioms of Perl 6 16:36
cale2 I thought one main selling point of perl6 is that everything and nothing is idiomatic and you can basically write it however you want 16:37
brokenchicken Like this typecheck stuff you're doing right now. Along with being frustrating, you'll find the way you're doing right now is also terrible slow.

brokenchicken Never heard of such a selling point.
moritz cale2: that's not the Perl 6 way 16:38

brokenchicken The TIMTOADY thing in my view is you can write things many different ways and use the more suitable way depending on situation, same as you use a natural language. 16:38
moritz there's more than one way to do it, but if an experienced programmer tells you that one way works clearly better in the language, you should still listen

mspo [Coke]: why? 20:48
[Coke] ... why would we build our own if we didn't have to?
building wheels is HARD
mspo yeah
pukku They both pass tests, they both have similar commit recentness. One has 3 stars, and one has 1 star, but I don't know how important stars are...
mspo does CPAN need to grow a supported-perls or something? 20:49
[Coke] mspo: the perl6 stuff will be invisible to the p5 toolchain
and vice versa.
mspo interesting
pukku So I decided to ask and see if anyone has preferences... 20:50

perlpilot for no real reason other than it's in perl6 :-)
