dolmans why placeholder cannot be used in a explicit sub block, `sort sub { $^a <=> $^b }, @a;'? 02:24
02:26 neoesque joined
audreyt dolmans: because having two places to put params is considered confusing 02:27
sub ($x) { say $x + $^y } 02:28
also, with sort blocks, why would you want a "sub" there?
dolmans audreyt: just test the language syntax. 02:29
audreyt *nod* 02:31
dolmans audreyt: i wonder whether perl6/pugs would provide a high order function transformer module, flip, curry or some jargons that i don't even knows? or there already has one? 02:41
audreyt there's ext/fp/ 02:43
but it can use some more helper functions
there's a builtin curry in the form of .assuming
?eval &infix:<+>.assuming(4).(5)
02:43 evalbot_11823 is now known as evalbot_11826
evalbot_11826 9 02:43
dolmans what do you mean `it can use some more helper functions'? 02:44
audreyt it means
feel free to commit to ext/fp/lib/fp.pm
and its tests
to improve i
to improve it
do you have a commit bit?
if not, what's your email addr so I can send you one?
dolmans ah, that is, sounds a good job
not yet, [email@hidden.address] i have a desire to do something. 02:45
audreyt welcome aboard
dolmans great
audreyt add yourself to AUTHORS as the first commit to see if it work :)

agentzh seen putter 03:31
jabbot agentzh: putter was seen 8 days 10 hours 57 minutes 20 seconds ago 03:32
agentzh putter: thanks a lot for your misc/pX/Common/regexp_and_parser_spike/regexp_engine_demo.pl 03:33
putter: i implemented an AI language compiler for my mentor in only two days. 03:35
putter: which reused your algorithm in that script 03:36
putter: my mentor was amazed and even asked me to give a talk to his graduate students on continuation. :) 03:37
putter++ CPS++ 03:38
lunch & 03:44
03:44 agentzh left 03:49 lambdabot joined 04:00 unobe is now known as unobe_away 04:39 kanru3 joined 04:44 tessier__ is now known as tessier 05:18 amnesiac joined 05:48 tup joined 06:06 agentzh joined 06:07 agentz joined 06:08 agentz joined 06:10 agentzh joined 06:11 agentzh joined 06:13 agentzh joined
gaal streteches 06:14
agentzh S05 says "Just as rx has variants, so does the C<regex> declarator. In particular, there are two special variants for use in grammar: C<token> and C<rule>."
the first sentence seems odd 06:15
"just as ... so does ..." doesn't it look very strange?
gaal: moose }:=> 06:16
gaal agentzh: elk!
it sounds OK to me
agentzh gaal: okay. another question... 06:17
what variants does C<rx> have?
does S05 mean the variants like "rx /.../" and "rx (...)" ?
gaal m// ? 06:18
agentzh or S05 is saying C<rx> and C<regex> share the same set of "variants"?
gaal: Hmm, it's likely 06:19
gaal audreyt: in S05: "As the syntax indicates, it is now more closely analogous to a C<sub {...}>
constructor. In fact, that analogy will run I<very> deep in Perl 6.
"
s/will run/runs/
agentzh anyway it's a bit fuzzy here
gaal also, inconsistent whitespace in line 1031 06:20
brb 06:21
agentzh gaal: i don't think the whitespace is inconsistent on line 1031 06:22
gaal the indentation is greater than in the line before it 06:23
agentzh i think the auther is aligning the delimiters with line 1030.
because the auther is talking about "the opening delimiter" on line 1028
gaal sure, that's usually done w/o changing the first character unless it's a continuation line
I'd say the same about 1014 06:24
06:24 penk joined
gaal that is I'd prefer 06:24
agentzh gaal: :)
gaal rx /.../
ro
rx /.../
(*to) 06:25
agentzh gaal: i agree
intervening whitespace between rx and the delimiters are more appropriate. 06:26
*is
i'll add that to my patch for S05. :)
gaal to make it more pleasing on the eye one trick is to exaggerate the spaces even in the regex {...} case 06:27
so the visual difference between regex and rx doesn't stand out. but that's a very pale shade of bikeshed 06:28
"shady"
agentzh *nod*
agentzh goes back to read S05
gaal goes back to $work

agentzh pmichaud: why is the definition of <prior> put into the section "Nothing is illegal"? is there any (Perl 5-related) historical reason for this? 07:40
pmichaud: i mean in S05

agentzh admits Perl 6 is a huge language. 08:38
tessier That can't be a good thing can it? 08:39
agentzh well, that depends on how you see that
english is also *huge* 08:40
chinese is *huge*
but natural languagues are very very easy to *use*
though not so easy to *learn*
Perl 6 is similar to natural lanuges in many respects 08:41
*languages
agentzh is happy to see Perl 6 gets *adverbs* 08:42
agentzh returns to S05 again 08:45
