TreyHarris lol, i was reading some old perl 6 list archives from over a year ago, and i kept thinking, "wow, the language really has changed in just a year... what is this <at> thing that keeps coming up?" then i realized that the archive's spam obfuscator was turning every @array into "<at> array".... 01:12

evalbot_r13970 ((1, (2 | 3), (2 | 3)) | (4, (2 | 3), (2 | 3))) 01:40
TreyHarris is that correct?
i'm not sure what would be correct, so i'm happy to accept that as correct... :) 01:41
?eval sort(any(['f','a','b'],[9,8,2,19])) 01:43
evalbot_r13970 ((19, 2, 8, 9))
TreyHarris that seems rather clearly wrong to me.
TimToady you gave it a junction for a sort criterion, it would seem. 01:48
which it ignored and did a string sort. 01:49
hmm, except both are inside the any. hmm. 01:50
junctions are not terribly meaningful in list context anyway. 01:52

TreyHarris TimToady: I would have expected it to autothread the sort and give me a junction of each list sorted.... 02:51

lambdabot gaal said 16h 27m 30s ago: nothingmuch and I are going hiking this weekend, I'll only be available for releng Tue
TreyHarris audreyt: sounds right, thanks 10:05
audreyt not so sure actually... rm src/pugs_version.h maybe
TreyHarris i remember it took several tries last time. i should have put a note somewhere, don't know why i didn't.... 10:06
oh, actually i do, i didn't know where to put the note and nobody on the channel at the time knew either :)
audreyt it should perhaps be fixed :) 10:09
TreyHarris oh. duh. what i needed to remove is ./pugs. so i guess i was smoking r13907 all this time. wonder why make didn't replace it? it built everything else...
audreyt do you have a pugs.new ? 10:10
I modified build_pugs.pl to do a unlink and then a rename
maybe I should've checked unlink's return value
TreyHarris no, not now, but i already rm'd ./pugs and did a new make, dunno if that would cause the loss of pugs.new 10:11
i did not do any cleans since i noticed that pugs was old though 10:12
audreyt no, it won't. mmm weird 10:13
TreyHarris this is a very new checkout even, like only a week old. 10:14
audreyt er, that's ancient
but anyway... did the new make produce a ./pugs ?
TreyHarris oh, you rm -rf and co from scratch frequently?
yes, it's smoking now 10:15
10:16 andara joined
TreyHarris 'ancient'? my ppc checkout is from may, i haven't blown it away and started over once :) i just update and occassionally make clean 10:16
audreyt ok... er no, I guess I misparsed your sentence is all
thought you didn't "svn up" during this week
TreyHarris ahhh. no. but i know that especially on win32 people have seen cruft that gets fixed by started out with a brand new working copy
s/started/starting/
audreyt: i should sleep now, but if you'd do me a favor and before you sleep mention any releng tasks that people can work on while you sleep, i'd appreciate it, i may have some time before you awaken :) 10:18
audreyt check the failing tests
esp in the ext/ space
find out why
and fix them or mark them :)
that's all :)

audreyt please do! 10:24
afaik no-one is working on that now
andara OK. Where in the tree should I put the code? util/ ? 10:25
integral saw someone try a perl5 version of that the other day
audreyt oh? url? 10:26
andara: misc/runpugs/ ?
integral it's not public _yet_, but I shall encourage :-)
audreyt integral++ 10:27
andara I'd better wait a bit then. Mine would be in perl5 too of course :-) 10:28

Limbic_Region yep - confirmed bug 12:43
audreyt - pugs -v is reporting version 13890
what's even stranger
is that it was previously reporting version 13894 prior to svn up'ing and nmaking 12:44

Limbic_Region 13981 12:46
which is right for the last time I nmake
it just doesn't agree with pugs -v 12:47
I'm afraid to say this looks like a Win32 thing - but by checking out the smoke reports - it does 12:48
audreyt I'm puzzled and can't repeat it here
the relevant bits of code is util/version_h.pl
svnbot6 r13985 | fglock++ | Pugs-Emitter-Perl6-Perl5 - fixed tests
audreyt which should be run as part of every make 12:49
let me try a patch.
Limbic_Region audreyt - the version header file is getting updated
it just isn't being reported correctly
as soon as pugs finishes rebuilding I will confirm the header file and what pugs -v is reporting again 12:52

Limbic_Region audreyt - the version header file says #define PUGS_SVN_REVISION 13984 13:00
audreyt yes. r13986 should help
Limbic_Region but pugs -v says 13890
going to try that now

svnbot6 r13987 | audreyt++ | * closure_traits/ascending_order.t: plan number was off by one.
Limbic_Region audreyt - I am doing it in phases for a couple of reasons 13:22
one, not knowing how long the entire process will take - I want to be able to abort if it if my back of the envelope math was way off 13:23
two, if the program should crash for whatever reason before reaching conclusion - I don't want to have to start over from the beginning
svnbot6 r13988 | audreyt++ | * descending_order.t: "first" was tested but never seen.
Limbic_Region it has one phase after this

Limbic_Region which test(s) were infinitely looping
fglock what happens when you use := binding with mixed our/my vars? like my $a; our $b; $a:=$b # $a is now our ?
Limbic_Region the one I thought was the other day wasn't
audreyt fglock: no, $Package::a won't work 15:12
what will happen is that modifying $a will cause $Package::b to be modified
Limbic_Region: closure_traits/next.t. I'm fixing that
15:13 fglock_ joined
fglock_ audreyt: so $a name has scope 'my', and $a cell has scope 'our' 15:15
kolibrie so each variable keeps their own scope, and the binding is only in scope as long as the 'my' variable?
audreyt fglock_: cell has no scope
cell just is a Scalar object
fglock_ audreyt: right
audreyt it's just the package stash points to that Scalar via the name '$b' 15:16

Limbic_Region and if Pugs isn't handling it correctly - it is either a parse bug or an unimplemented feature? 16:05
I guess if it is valid perl 6 and pugs isn't handling it correctly it doesn't matter which it is - will write test 16:06

Limbic_Region ok, so what should the parameter piece of the signature look like for an object doing that 16:26
multi method postfix:<++> ($self) { ... } ?
though I have no idea why the multi should even be part of the equation 16:27
it is an object method and there is only 1
fglock - for an example of exactly what is not working - see ext/Automata-Cellular/t/ca.t 16:28
$ca++ is not calling the method in Cellular.pm 16:29

I was trying to ascertain what the correct signature was
TimToady otherwise $self is not self
Limbic_Region the sig as is method postfix:<++> { ... } is not working

svnbot6 r14006 | Limbic_Region++ | Changed $obj ~~ Pkg::Name to $obj ~~ ::Pkg::Name 18:26
lanny Does that code look odd ot anyone else?
TimToady couple things are odd 18:33
$comma has not default
*no
and $obj is declared Pair when the code is assuming List of Pair or some such. 18:34
lanny Agreed. That's from Prelude.pm
TimToady I'd say a List of XXX doesn't "do" XXX
at least, not when hidden inside $obj 18:35
to me, a declaration of "Pair $obj" implies there can only be one pair. 18:37
18:38 putter joined, [particle] joined
lanny Yes. That was the oddness that struck me. I think it's a cut-n-paste from List $obj that got applied to Pair 18:38
TimToady probably just needs to be de-mapped.
lanny I'll patch it up after I make sure I'm not gonna break stuff by doing so. pugs/t++
Default comma for Lists and Hashes in .fmt()? Doubt that's spec-ed yet 18:39
Limbic_Region If inside a method there is a statement such as my $foo = $.foo; 18:41
and the object has not been defined to contain a .foo
what kind of error (if any) should that generate
lanny @brain what do you think about Limbic's question? 18:42
lambdabot I think so, Brain, but don't you need a swimming pool to play Marco Polo?
lanny There you go, Limbic_Region.
TimToady "can't locate method .foo via class Bar" comes to mind.

TimToady (my current pet peeve)
lanny Tim "bitter-boy" Toady 18:44
TimToady I don't think one can be characterized as bitter until one has at least two pet peeves, and hopefully more. 18:47
lanny TimToady: Thoughts on a useful default for .fmt on lists and hashes? I can see arguments for '', ' ', and ', '.
I always keep my pet peeves on a stack so bitter is probably accurate for me. 18:48
TimToady I'm sure this is discussed somewhere, either A or S.
lanny Not S (that I could find. S02 seems to be only mention.) I'll check A 18:49
TimToady S02:1707 18:50
note though that the default hash format has a newline *after* each pair, so it's not a join. 18:51

TimToady: what's up?
TimToady just compiling me a profiled pugs so I can see why my program is taking 10 hours to run. 18:54
if it would just keep going at the rate it starts out, it would be done in 30 minutes.
rindolf TimToady: OK. 18:55
TimToady and I'm not doing anything that ought to be collecting leaks
rindolf TimToady: what is this program about?
TimToady just analyzing some chunks of yaml for a histogram
the only thing cumulative is the hash, and I doubt that's what's slowing it down. 18:56
seems like repeated calls to eval($str, :lang<yaml) slow down, but need to profile it.
I wonder if it's doing something silly like memoizing strings that will never duplicate. 18:57

rgs but it sure is annoying.
TimToady <whistles tunelessly>
most of the people who are directly interested in that are in Brazil and China. 19:02
demerphq meaning they are visiting right? not that i have to learn another language?
TimToady no, meaning they're in a different timezone, and some of them are asleep. 19:03

demerphq coffee i can do. 19:04

TimToady yes, it's a correct parsefail. You may not use unprotected {...} at the top level of a conditional
demerphq Recursive patterns without EVAL: /^(<(?:[^<>]+|(?1))*>)$/
Limbic_Region oh good -
TimToady I'd put the parens on grep's args though.
?eval my @foo = 1..5; if grep({$_ ~~ 3}, @foo) { say 3 } 19:08
evalbot_r14007 OUTPUT[3 ] Bool::True
demerphq I think a reasonable chunk of the perl6 grammar engine can be done in perl5 now. 19:11

Limbic_Region well - I am just trying to help triage ext/ failing tests by fixing minor code errors without changing the intended behavior
TimToady a lot of it having to do with closures not really being closures inside regexen.
[particle] demerphq: are you talking about implementing in blead, or 5.8.x? 19:14
TimToady I hear a lot of that has been cleaned up.
demerphq im talking about having use re::Perl6; do something useful in perl5.
TimToady swap out the engine?
demerphq ive made the engine a lot more pluggable now.
yes.
[particle] ah, i see.
TimToady ah
demerphq my plan wouldnt be swap out the the engine. 19:15
TimToady so, plug in PGE. :)
demerphq it would be swap out the compiler part of the engine.
the underlying engine wouldnt change.
[particle] yeah, i think patrick would be very interested in that.
demerphq but you could use perl6ish syntax.

demerphq the regex enigine binding is lexically scoped in perl5 now.
[particle] pge already has p5 and p6 rx front ends 19:16
demerphq But the coupling between the core engine and the perl5 internals are pretty tight. i havent gotten that far down that road.
TimToady that's where the closure thing will bite you.
TreyHarris anyone have any clues about my paste above? i hate to disable the dir.t test when it seems to work, but i can't figure out why smoke hangs forever
demerphq with first order recursive matching the closure thing isnt as big a deal as it might be (IMHO) 19:17

demerphq no. i have to admit i havent played much at all.
fglock or v6.pm
demerphq ive been pretty focused on getting various improvements to the perl5 engine done before 5.10 is supposed to be out. 19:22
perl5.re is much faster.
now.
:-)
Limbic_Region did you get done everything you wanted to? 19:23
I remember you mentioning that there were somethings you still had in mind 19:24
demerphq my thinking was basically that ive now got a pretty good grip on how the perl5 engine works. and if somebody wants to change the parser/compiler to support a different syntax such as perl6 uses, then id be happy to help them do so.
TimToady can the grammar swapout disable normal string interpolation pre-regex-compiler?
so that /$x/ is handled by the regex compiler instead of the Perl compiler? 19:25
demerphq i dont see why not.
it doesnt currently, but it could i think.
b_jonas TimToady: you mean like the way /(?{})/ is handled in perl5?
rgs currently the tokenizer does it, right ?
demerphq id have to check the code to see how involved it was.
TimToady someone crazy would have to speak to toke.c *cough*
putter hey folks 19:26
TimToady don't think it would be all that hard to add a /P6 option though
[particle] timtoady does hash again...
rgs I must be crazy
b_jonas wouldn't the problem with it be that the regexp compiler would have to know of these :s and other flags for the quote ops? 19:27
theorbtwo You're on #perl6. It's a requirement.
TimToady otherwise you'd have to write all your regexen as qr'...'
theorbtwo Chanserv will kick you otherwise.
TimToady @arr
lambdabot Har de har har!
TimToady well, we could go as far as to change the /X form to the :X form, as long as it was predeclared in a lexical scope. 19:29
but otherwise we mess up people who have used : as the delim.
but I suppose if it's declared in a lexical scope we don't need /P6 anyway
putter demerphq: have you seen?: rt.openfoundry.org/Foundry/Project/...?rev=10351 19:30
lambdabot tinyurl.com/juq6e
TimToady oddly, you'd use :P5 to get back to normal p5 regex syntax.
b_jonas using : as the delim? like m:(?\:-):
demerphq quickly skimming that i think you would find it a lot easier now. 19:31
TimToady yeah, but once we start in on toke.c anything is possible
putter :)
demerphq the way that the regex hooks are implemented has changed.
19:31 ruoso joined
demerphq each regexp structure now points at a vtable for its methods. 19:31
fglock /(?P6: ... )/ 19:32
putter demerphq: one issue was that calling eval inside of the engine made things go boom later. re tight integration of engine and interpreter. improved?
demerphq the main problem before was that the hooks were interpreter wide.
TimToady fglock: doesn't help with preinterpolation of vars
(without toke.c hacking) 19:33
demerphq so you could compile a regex using one engine, and then pass that data set over to another engine which would then go boom.
that problem is gone.
putter yay
demerphq however, the code in perl that calls out the the engine "knows" a lot about how the perl optimiser works and expects to have access to that info. 19:34
so any plug in has to somehow contort themselves into producing the same data.
But as timtoady says, it doesnt solve the var issue as currently implemented.
putter demerphq: hmm, I'm not sure I understand "another engine"... the idea is if the old regcomp hook called perl_eval, even not doing anything interesting with it, that by itself was sufficient to cause later... segfaults I think it was. 19:36
so a noop regcomp but for an ignored perl_eval call.
s/noop/handl off to normal regcomp/ 19:37
re var issue... *mumble* quoting macros *mumble* 19:38
TimToady that's odd, recompiling with profiling caused 5 more tests to pass. maybe it was just the realclean though.
demerphq you didnt hook reintuit start. 19:39
but you have to realize that changing the vars you did changes what engine will be used for every regex that was ever compiled with that perl interpreter. 19:40

19:49 andara joined
demerphq could use stuff from putters notes there. 19:49
putter demerphq: sorry, let's see... 20:01
so the brief summary of what has changed with the perl5 implementation is...?
demerphq in general you mean? 20:02
putter with respect to the regexp engine being cleaner, and more cleanly integrated into the rest of p5? 20:03
demerphq its pretty simple, each regexp struct holds a pointer to a shared vtable structure, when perl works with a regexp it dispatches through the vtable compiled in. 20:04
instead of having 6 or 7 interpreter level vars it has one, the "core engine", which is used unless the %^H{regcomp} tells it to go somewhere else. 20:05
er, $^H{regcomp}
so the engine is now self contained. 20:06
putter nifty.
have the guts on either side of the new dispatch changed? 20:07
(I should have said "nifty! :) :) yay! wooohooo! hallelua!") 20:08
demerphq++
demerphq well the guts of the perl5 engine have changed a lot.
its not recursive anymore. 20:09
its simulated recursion.
davem did a fantastic job there.
and ive been working on new regops and optimisations.
TimToady stackless is good, now you just have to integrate that runloop with the main runloop. :)
putter and thus can handle recursive regexps?
demerphq alternations are many orders of magnitude faster now.
20:09 BooK_ joined
demerphq recursive regexps. named capture buffers. 20:10
putter wonders if it is christmass...
demerphq plus im working on CUT/COMMIT/YES/NO/ACCEPT/REJECT regops right now.
I want to do some stuff with possessive quantifiers.
we do aho-corasick (start class) matching now, as well as trie matching. 20:11
putter what about ... (that was my next question)
demerphq Oh, auto (?=[....]) for alternations (thats part of trie matching)
wat about .... ?
putter what is the state of the regexp analysis? has tries been integrated with something flexible? 20:12
demerphq not sure i understand the question.
alternations are automatically "trie"ed if possible.
putter some regex engines like... not cl-pcre, the other common lisp regex engine.... eh, do nicer analysis and optimization that p5 does. 20:14
hmm, cl-pcre perhaps does itself
p5's has always been brute C speed
demerphq well, based on current benchmarks we cream python.
no, i disagree. p5's fast because its very clever about optimising.
putter err, yeah, but... higher goals? :)
(higher re python)
demerphq almost everywhere where we are slow is where we are bad about optimising.
TimToady one thing that a P6 parser requires is support for <%foo|%bar|%baz>
that takes the keys of the hashes and makes them into a trie or some such
demerphq i think that perl5 probably does pretty well against the competition right now.
TimToady and automatically recalculates if the hashes change. 20:15
demerphq trie construction isnt that fast...
perl5.9.5 i meant. assuming the named capture patch gets applied. i want that. :-)
TimToady could probably be done lazily, so you if you add a bunch of macros it doesn't recalculate every time
demerphq you can do some cool stuff with named captures. 20:16
putter www.geocities.com/mparker762/clawk#regex is worth looking at.
rgs yes yes it will be applied :)

demerphq i only have so many hours. :-) its hard to stay on top of all these engines.
especially not when you are neck up in the internals of perl5's.
putter oh, yes. 20:18
demerphq anyway, my focus is getting perl5's engine as polished and nice as timtoady and rgs and the other gods let me.
TimToady demerphq++
demerphq so, getting PCRE or the TCL regex engine pluggable is my number 2 objective. 20:19
putter so a one-liner is: I believe some engines have had stronger high-level optimizations than p5 has had. and there has been no easy way to add them as the p5 engine just wasn't set up for it. if that's changed... that could be very very neat.
demerphq but if you want to go down that road id be sure to make myself available for support and whatever.
putter: id be interested to know what optimisations you mean. 20:20
20:20 rindolf joined
putter tries to find notes... maybe the "keep better notes" sign above my desk needs to be bigger... maybe 1m^2 would do it... 20:21
demerphq there are a few we dont do, but thats partly because we dont support possessive quantifiers right now...
fglock a big problem I found when compiling p6regex to p5 is how do you backtrack into subrules
demerphq thats solved.
fglock wow
demerphq subrules are just named capture buffers.
actually they dont even need names.
this: /^(<(?:[^<>]+|(?1))*>)$/ 20:22
backtracks into itself if necessary.
you can even put quantifiers on the recursion call. hows that for twisty. :-)
rgs nice. 20:23
demerphq Once the named capture patch gets applied ill make a way to do a recursion to it by name.
the other thing the perl5 engine needs to make you perl6 people more at home is a (?DEFINE:...) construct. 20:24
20:24 andara left
demerphq that allows a subpatter to be defined but not executed except by recursion/subroutine call. 20:24
so then /(?DEFINE:(?<rule1>....)(?<rule2>...))(?&rule1)*|(?&rule2)/ would dwim. 20:25
TimToady it would be nice to be able to define those outside of the current regex.
b_jonas demerphq: I don't see why you'd ever need DEFINE, 20:26
demerphq in a different qr//?
putter define++
b_jonas I mean, couldn't you just put the subexpression at the first place it's used and refer to it later
rindolf TimToady: should I read dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/design/apo/A12.html or is it already obsolete?
lambdabot Title: Apocalypse 12: Objects - perl6:, tinyurl.com/gtalj
b_jonas (even outsied from it, that is, not recursing)
demerphq b_jonas: you could, yes.
TimToady rindolf: go ahead and read it--it is less out of date than the other A's, and it has [Update] sections. 20:27
fglock demerphq: grammars are like packages, you can have subrules spread in different modules
demerphq but you are thinking of writing a pattern from the get go. what happens if somebody hands you a qr with their own definitions.
sure with a qr// and (?DEFINE:) you can define rules wherever you like.
putter b_jonas: it can be a pain, so one does a lot of (|...defineA)(|...defineB...)commit-if-you-can...real stuff... 20:28
demerphq pick you package. not my problem :-)
putter s/it/ordering/
b_jonas like, /[+-]?(\d+(?\.\d*))[+-]?(?1)[ij]/ could match a complex
oh, when the define is _named_, then indeed it would make sense
because you could write something like /$RE{all} (?&number)[+-]?(?&number)[ij]/ 20:29
demerphq and since the engine is iterative we can do interesting things like COMMIT.
b_jonas loading a whole regexp library at the beginning of the regexp
btw, isn't there a way to fake a define like /(?!(?!)(subexpression)) expression using (?1) and (?1) again/x 20:31
TimToady the problem with this is that inheritance is defined directly between regexen. We need a way for one grammar to inherit from another grammar.
demerphq i think with a bit of creativity we could do that. 20:32
a grammar becomes a qr// blessed into a special package?
rindolf TimToady: ok, thanks.
putter demerphq: I'm losing on finding notes. weitz.de/cl-ppcre/#performance does have some performance comparisons and tools. regex's optimize.lisp doesn't do anything p5 doesn't (thought it did, puzzled). checking ppcre...
demerphq with some kind of special support for that or whatever. (lots of handwaving)
lambdabot Title: CL-PPCRE - Portable Perl-compatible regular expressions for Common Lisp
TimToady yes, at some point it can be considered sugar
"all of the qr in this scope auto-import from that regex over there." 20:33
but it seems like it could be heavy
C include fiasco comes to mind. 20:34
in p6 grammars are just modules which are just packages.
<handwaving> 20:35
so name lookup can be lazy, knowing just the package.
this looks like it's reinventing a different namespace.
demerphq im not sure what the importation does, so im not sure how it could be hacked in. :-)
putter does p5 engine do "minimum length of rest of branch", either for reducing the search region or for following a fast-scanning pattern anchor? 20:36
demerphq no.
minimum length optimisations are per pattern
although i did teach it to grok positive lookahead and lookbehind now. 20:37
so it knows that /(?=foo)/ must match 'foo' and must be 3 chars. older perls wouldnt optimise that at all. 20:38
putter say purely hypothetically one wanted to do per-branch min length... given the current state of internals, would that be "not hard", "well, you could do it", "hard", "laugh"?
demerphq id like to do auto-possessification of quantifiers preceding a contrary char. thats one thing im eager for.
actually not that hard.
putter so that's a significant improvement on its previous state, yes? 20:39
demerphq except that it wouldnt play all that nicely with the trie optimisations.
putter s/significant/big wopping/
demerphq depends how it plays with the trie optimisations to be honest.
:-)
putter yeah, nothing does (play well with tries)
demerphq i suppose you could add data to the trie. 20:40
wel already have jump tries.
putter is the trie stuff a sort of separate universe still, or is it part of a more general "gross code movement" framework?
demerphq (foo[xy]+|bar[zy]+) is optimised into a trie.
kinda a seperate universe. kinda not.
its like a regexp switch/case statement. 20:41
putter ooh, neat (re jump tries)
demerphq sorta half way "dfa" and halfway "nfa"
TimToady I thought you already had possessive quantifiers if you write them as (?>\d+)
demerphq but those terms are totally bogus for our purposes.
horrible terms.
timtoady yes.
putter but the analysis phase? standalone, or integrated?
TimToady or were you just wanting a better syntax? 20:42
demerphq again, i dont get the question?
(?>...) needs a suspend op.
so its not so useful for stud_chunk() phase optimisations.
true possesive quantifiers would mean we could just upgrade the appropriate structures.
ie, just change the type field to be STARP instead of STAR or whatever. Similar for the CURLY/WHILE's. 20:43
putter ok, pop stack. very neat. this is all in p5 head?
demerphq bleadperl. 20:44
putter ok
demerphq well, depending on when rgs applys the patch .:-)
for named captures.
putter :)
demerphq if you sync blead you could apply it yourself.
:-) 20:45
b_jonas I wondered if we could embed a DFA regexp (say, posix regexp) to a perl regexp
demerphq Anyway, i must run. Its been nice chatting. Ill be around.
take care all.
putter demerphq: look forward too it
thank you for your work! :)
b_jonas like, /foo(?d:bar)baz/ would match foo, then match the posix regexp bar atomically, then baz
putter b_jonas: how would that be different than /foo(?>bar)baz/ ? oops, left room 20:47
hmm... backlogging... 20:53
regards named regex and inheritance.... someone remind me why we need named regex if we have "embedded code returning regex to insert here" and the engine is now not non-reentrant? 20:55
just as a caching strategy?
fglock I guess embedded code is slow 20:56
TimToady for the same reason that OO is better than subroutine composition. 20:57
SamB "subroutine composition"?
putter right (re slow). and the usual answer is you cant embed code at all. but p5 can, and now it really can, so I'm wondering if that changes how one deals with this. 20:58
stevan prefers GOTO, subroutines are for loosers
SamB has heard of "function compostion"
stevan heya putter :)
SamB er.
"function composition"
rindolf stevan: I wrote Acme::Gosub if you're interested. 20:59
stevan modules! bah!... PHP doesnt need namespaces,.. and neither do i
putter TimToady: just to be clear, not wondering about subrules, but about naming subparts of a pattern and then doing backreferences to it...
hi stevan :)

[particle] wonders if stevan has started work on the Meta Goto Protocol yet... 21:00
stevan stumbles and drops his punchcard stack...
[particle]: shhhh,.. you will ruin the suprise
kolibrie offers to help stevan pick up his punchcards and put them in the right order 21:01
SamB looks for cards full of parens 21:02
stevan *sigh*, this never happened with paper tape
stevan goes back to oiling his Difference Engine 21:03
21:04 turrepurre joined
putter other engines use the /...(?NameThis<Foo>...foo...)... (?UseHere<Foo>).../ construct mostly because they can't embed code. i'm puzzling over whether (1) it's all that useful for p5, and (2) whether it's the right analogy for p6 subrules, or whether some sort of caching (??{&subrule}) is closer... 21:05
[particle] stevan: say hi to babbage for me

putter discovers he still has the clump of neurons dedicated to generating an adrenaline spike upon reading "drops his punchcard stack"... 21:06
bad stevan
SamB upon *reading* it?
putter stevan wrote it. I went *spike*. sigh. 21:07
stevan putter: its interesting to think I can randomly fire neuron clumps in your brain
hmm ... programmable putter
putter there, you did it again
TimToady y'know, if you just punch sequence numbers on them we have some technology for sorting them back into order.
SamB TimToady: they still have that? 21:08
putter stevan: and the channel is archived, so you just diddled the neurons of thousands spread through decades...
stevan TimToady: my Jacquard Loom is only v1.0 so it does not support that yet
TimToady just goahead and punch the numbers--you can simulate the sorting machine with a knitting needle. 21:09
SamB heh 21:10
be sure to leave some free!
in case you need to insert cards later.
... anyway isn't the sorting machine standalone? 21:11
stevan putter: sorry, freenode is blocking my /msg to you 21:13
TimToady You could probably start an International Business with such a Machine. 21:14

stevan if we all pool our lunch money, we could get this 21:15
TimToady quick, invest in knitting needles
putter lol
lol re sorter
that's worse than the "let's run a pdp-10" folks :) 21:16
hmm... though I don't think I've ever met someone who actually has _fond_ memories of cards... 21:17
TimToady I wonder if someone's been pilfering the Computer History Museum...
stevan I wonder if it will run Linux?
SamB stevan: a card sorter?
TimToady a card sort plus an operator maybe
SamB eeek 21:18
where do you people eat lunch!
stevan SamB: reader and interpreter too
TimToady at the moment, in front of IRC
[particle] mmm... lunch. i'm off now &
SamB TimToady: is that a very expensive restaurant? 21:19
stevan subsists entirely on Perl 6
TimToady no, the dry sausage was on sale at Safeway
putter mmm... dinner... 21:21
stevan: ping? 21:26
stevan putter: pong 21:27
putter: check your email,.. freenode sucks :(
I lost my password
putter :( 21:28
will do...
stevan I pondered sending a binary encoded letter through the mail, but email seemed faster 21:29
putter looks quizically at stevan 21:30
stevan sorry,.. stack of punchcards though snailmail
putter what's up with cards? anything in particular? 21:31
need chad confettii?
stevan elections are right around the corner
putter "do not fold, bend, spindle or mutilate" 21:32
bah, chads. did you see the note go by on a no-residue vote modifying diablo virus trasmitted by the key cards...? 21:33
stevan yeah
scary
putter re go for it. going... no doubt I'll regret it in the morning... 21:34
someone has a hard choice - use it for this election, or save it, but risk losing it, for the next. though... that's not quite right. 21:39
in.

putter stevan: so what is the state of Moose? I hadn't realized Data::Bind and such were currently a v6 bottleneck... 21:49
stevan putter: Moose is progressing slowly right now because of $work
mostly I need to clean up the roles implementation
then figure out the best way to make it fast 21:51
but it is in several production sites at the moment,.. and not all mine either :)
putter :) 21:54
21:55 weinig is now known as weinigBBL
putter re $work, it's scary how much that paces the maturation of software engineering. 21:58
1/2 an audreyt, because we can't find $3ishK/mo to have her whole. something came up at dinner last night... can't remember... something (smalltalk land?) recently got done, but took 10+ years because noone was every there to say "here is $20k, do it now, rather than spread out over the next decade". 22:00
lots and lots of neat stuff is like that.
s/every/ever/
even back when arpa was working, there was the concept that maybe well targeted micro grants, get the distracted person a secretary, the person isn't going to get around to the book a ghost writer to sit in his office, the "audreyt" an extra year to focus on a project, the language which desperately needs a test suite a test writer, etc, etc... 22:03
could make a large, small integer factor, impact on the the field's pace. sigh. 22:04
