Railalis in method TWEAK I am calling another method $!reset(); 00:00
and it essentially resets the array with default values for the game.
I'm making backgammon
00:00 mcmillhj joined
TimToady maybe a new game should get a new object... 00:01
Railalis Sure, but then I still have to run this logic in TWEAK 00:02
TimToady or declare your array with 'is default("a")' or some such
Railalis Eh.. That's not really my style. 00:03
MasterDuke m: my @a[4] is default("b")
camelia 5===SORRY!5=== Error while compiling <tmp>

ingy ok 01:45
ingy looks forward to the day when all his perl6 (and every other language) code is generated :) 01:46
then I'll let b2gills code review the generator and all my perl6 will be best practice
I spent the last year writing compilers to generate Lua. Lua is the best code to generate that I've seen. 01:48
very regular and no ambiguities
pretty hard to mess up...
but Lingy will be even easier I think 01:49
since the encoding is just json
01:50 mcmillhj joined
geekosaur smells famous last words in there somewhere 01:50
ingy testml.org/playground/?type=example...w=compiler shows the Lingy generated for TestML (TestML compiles to Lingy) 01:51
geekosaur: it's interactive with scores of examples. try it out
01:52 vike left
ingy Lingy = Lisp + JSON. What could possibly go wrong?! 01:52
01:53 vike joined
ingy I have have a small module called RotN (pronounced RotN) that I wrote in all the TestML langs for my talks last week and next week 01:53
after $yapc I'm going to single source it as CafeScript that generates Lingy, and then I'll upload it to CPAN 6PAN PyPI and NPM 01:54
with tests in TestML of course 01:55
01:55 mcmillhj left
ingy CafeScript is a fork of CoffeeScript that generates Lingy instead of JS 01:55
Lingy targets every language that can do JSON. That should give me a good amount of languages to target. 01:56
at first the modules will dep on a lingy eval loop module 01:57
but as things catch on I'll do Lingy to native code generators
and if I can gen C code from Lingy then...

MasterDuke rabbit_: i think i've seen mention of something similar before (don't remember details though) 02:51
what os and perl6 version do you have?

lookatme rabbit_, maybe add --/test 03:05

ingy still keen to see a more idiomatic solution
to restate, looking for boolean equality. ie $a == $b for Bool 05:28

feedback on the p6 welcome
tobs: to see it in action (with the js port in the browser) I made this: testml.org/playground/ 05:52
tobs I remember catching bits about it in here. This is related to acme-ism, right? 05:53
ingy the language compiles to JSON/Lisp (click Compiler) and then runs the tests as TAP (perl test output) or Mocha
right. the language has been around in various forms in Perl since 2004 or so 05:54
but now I've figured out how to get it to every language that can do JSON
which seems like all the important ones 05:55
tobs: anyway the perl6 is hot off the press: github.com/testml-lang/testml/tree...rl6/TestML
I thought Python was a pita, but p6 twice as much 05:56
but now its all done so I can enjoy the beer I'm drinking right now
tobs nice, I'll look at it. We tried working on testing for Gambas (a BASIC language) but progress is slow. Maybe I can steal some bits here (and later unsteal them?) 05:57
ingy if you care to glance over the p6, thoughts would be most appreciated
tobs Gambas at least has a JSON module
ingy great, let's port it!

sarna lizmat: I don't know perl5 :( 09:29
lizmat ah, ok
well, the extensions an indication that they contain Perl 6 source code
sarna I googled it though
lizmat .pl6 is generally used to indicate runnable scripts
.pm6 is generally used to indicate installable modues 09:30
*modules
sarna I've ran that Mi6 tool and ended up with a .pm6 file
idk if I'm supposed to create a .pl6 one or put my stuff into that .pm6
lizmat yup, it does that :-)
masak tends to use the empty string at the end of his runnable scripts :)
lizmat masak: that works fine if you're not on Windows :-)
masak oh yeah, I've heard about that OS 09:31
lizmat sarna: mi6 assumes you want to create an installable module
so generally, that happens in the lib/Foo.pm6 file, if you did "mi6 new Foo"
sarna I did App::Foo because I learned a thing :^) 09:32
lizmat then you got an lib/App/Foo.pm6 :-)

yoleaux 13 Jun 2018 00:14Z <MasterDuke> robertle: is your program (the one with all the regexes) available somewhere online?
sarna_ I have `use App::foo;` at the top of my file
robertle and do you export from App::foo? e.g. "sub func() is export"? 10:15
but there are many ways to export: docs.perl6.org/language/modules
sarna_ do I have to export them to test them? heck :( 10:16
robertle MasterDuke: unfortunately it's a work thing, but I could craft a similar case if it helps...
sarna_: there most certainly is a way to import something that has not been explicitely exported, e.g. for tests, but I have to admit that I don't know what it is. I guess a good start would be to see what ' 10:19
import' actually does...
jnthn Generally, the choice is either to export them or declare them `our` scope so they can be looked up fully qualified 10:20

why can't I write `returns Str, is export`? 10:26
robertle actually jnthn's point is far more interesting: that there is lexical scope in perl6 as well as namespace scope. that is a very powerful combination
jnthn sarna_: Because it's incorrect syntax. :) Get rid of the , 10:27
10:27 ambs joined, xtreak left
sarna_ jnthn: oh! thank you :) 10:27
robertle is there some consensus on what the "preferred" return type declaration is? there just seem to be too many... 10:28
sarna_ I only know about --> and returns
robertle I have used --> so far, but it looks kinda weird 10:29
sarna_ I prefer returns :) looks better
jnthn I think those are the two ways in common use
sarna_ hm, what if I wanted to test a private sub? just declare it our?
jnthn Well, then it's not private, but yes :) 10:30
sarna_ I can't test private functions then? :D
jnthn Nope. Because if your test is calling it then it's not private.
sarna_ oh well
jnthn The point of privacy (lexical scoping, private methods) in Perl 6 is that you can refactor them without having to look anywhere else in the program source code 10:31
robertle it's kinda funny that of all languages, perl6 is the strictest abotu privateness ;)
sarna_ "I declare everything to be public, who am I not to trust my own code?" - my coworker
jnthn robertle: I'm really glad of it though. Both as a Perl 6 programmer (I feel safer refactoring) and as an IDE developer (a bunch of useful bits of analysis are easier) :) 10:33
robertle sure, and it makes more sense seen from the "lexical" point of view than from "private": in a language like java, a private class will still have a global name and can be addressed. you are just not allowed to do certain things. 10:34
sarna_ jnthn: which IDE you're developing? commaide?
jnthn sarna_: Yes
sarna_ if you don't mind me asking
sweet!
robertle a lexical scoped thing simply isn't addressable from outside that lexical scope. taht is very nice 10:35
jnthn Well, it's not just me, but I'm to blame for parts of it :)

b2gills ingy: sigilless variables are SSA (Static Single Assignment). I like to think of them as sort of like a runtime constant. 15:49
ingy really doesn't have time to unblown his mind with all this :) 15:50
b2gills Usually they are defined with \ but as I often do I tried to bend the parser to see where it breaks. Very rarely does it actually break.
ingy :) 15:51
geekosaur not sure I call that break. think of \ as a hack for when it needs a sigil, but there + has the same effect as a sigil

b2gills ingy: What are you trying to do with `method bool` as I think that would be a good starting point for learning about type annotations. 15:54
ingy pmurias: the thing I'm working on now, TestML, is taking all the work I did for OpenResty to make fanlang and perl5 versions of the language, and open source them to all open langauges.
b2gills The main use of type annotations is for multi methods/subs
ingy pmurias: I redesigned the language completely at openresty and its pretty awesome 15:55
and I've made it even better in this rewrite
lizmat rewrite++ # hehe 15:56
ingy they use the old TestML (CPAN Test::Base) almost exclusively to test over 100 repos
pmurias: including fanlang. 100% tested with the Test::Base 15:57
b2gills multi method bool ( Bool:D $value ) { $value }; multi method bool ( Any:U --> False ){}; multi method bool ( Any:D --> True ){}
ingy b2gills: ah perfect 15:58
b2gills Also `$value.^name ne 'Bool'` may be better written as `$value !~~ Bool`, unless you want to dismiss all possible classes with the name Bool
ingy copies b2gills' code in to see if it can work
b2gills m: sub new-bool (){ anon class Bool {} }; say new-bool().^name eq 'Bool'; say new-bool() ~~ Bool; 15:59

json seems to be the commo ground. the testml type system is a superset of json's 16:49

I'm browsing this but can't seem to make it work: docs.perl6.org/type/Signature#Type_Constraints
I need a "where" clause I guess do I? 21:49

Mark04 Oh, this works: sub takes_an_array_of_str( @array where { @array.all ~~Str } ) { blabla… } 21:51
I think…
perlpilot yeah, that should work. Though, you might want to consider using a subset if "array of Str" is an important thing for you 21:53
Mark04 perlpilot: subset? is that like a user-defined type?
perlpilot yes 21:54
Mark04 perlpilot: right yes I see how that would help in some cases. I was focused on the sub declarations in this case… but I'll remember subsets in the future thanks 21:56
MasterDuke Mark04: your other option is docs.perl6.org/language/list#index...yped_array 22:01

perlpilot It's a wonder someone hasn't written a typing tutorial that eases people into this stuff. (or maybe it's written but I don't know about it) 22:06

MasterDuke perl6.party/post/Perl-6-Types--Made-for-Humans is a start 22:12

perlpilot yep, but that covers the "easy" cases :-) 22:21
It's when you start trying to do things with arrays and hashes that the problems start
m: sub foo(Array[Int]) {}; foo([1,2,3]); # I think people expect this to work 22:23
camelia Type check failed in binding to parameter '<anon>'; expected Array[Int] but got Array ($[1, 2, 3])
in sub foo at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1

lucs perlpilot: In that example, what would the correct sub declaration be for the expectation to be met? 22:53
Oh, just read the backscroll. 22:54
