Util_ In [S32] Containers.pod, "=head2 Array" contains "=item delete" (method) and "=item :delete" (adverb). 01:45
In contrast, "=head2 Hash" contains only the adverb form of delete. Shouldn't the delete method also be in Hash?

what newbie mistake am I making? :)
Util snarkyboojum: where you say: 02:41
map {...}, %hash;
I think you need:
map {...}, %hash.pairs;
Something else might also be wrong; I don't have a current build at the moment.

snarkyboojum that works, and it's neater 02:43
but I would have thought the other way would work as well
Util: yeah - tried that, but it fails on current master as well 02:56
but works on alpha
not sure if things have changed or master is buggy
in that area
Util but if you make %h mean the same as %h.kv in that situation, then don't you close the door on ever using `map` on *lists* of entire hashes/hashrefs?
my @AoH = map {...} ( %h1, %h2, %h3 );
snarkyboojum but I think it quite likely that I am buggy :)
Util (re: "work as well..."
snarkyboojum Util: I'm not sure I understand 02:57
Util snarkyboojum: more on that in a minute; back to your failing code... 02:58
2nd bug: map in void context does not work. Even though it should not be needed, assign the map to a junk hash.
snarkyboojum Util: ah sink context 02:59

Util snarkyboojum: is anything still unresolved? 03:05
snarkyboojum Util: using map like you suggested works, but I've gone with push and .kv for now 03:06
for loop using .kv works as well
Util snarkyboojum: what are you trying to accomplish?
snarkyboojum rakudo: my %hash = { 'perl5' => 'perl6', 'foo' => 'bar' }; my %other; for %hash.kv -> $k, $v { %other.push: $k, $v }; say %other.perl
p6eval rakudo cde6ab: OUTPUT«{"foo" => "bar", "perl5" => "perl6"}␤»
snarkyboojum Util: just adding one hash to another :) 03:07
Util snarkyboojum: do you require `push` to prevent a duplicate key in hash2 from overlaying the value in hash1? 03:09
snarkyboojum this is interesting, from the spec "However, unlike assignment, when a duplicate key is detected, push coerces the colliding entry's value to an array and pushes the Pair's value onto that array"

moritz_ good morning 05:51
phenny moritz_: 31 May 22:51Z <pyrimidine> tell moritz_ that there is a partially working .trans implementation (including closures and :d, :s) at gist.github.com/420337, but there are issues with regex name mapping. Also, odd bug with array version mapping (tests with "&nbsp;&lt;&gt;&amp;" string are not parsing).

masak oh hai, #perl6 07:52
moritz_ oh hai 07:55
Su-Shee hi M & M ;)
eternaleye moritz_: I'm working on .trans now, using unpacking for maximum ease 07:57
moritz_ unpacking?
masak signature unpacking? 07:58
moritz_ I know it's not specced, but I want named arguments to behave just like positional pairs 07:59
$str.trans: :a<b> # just like 'a' => 'b';
but that's an easy addition to any sane implementation, I think 08:00
eternaleye Could be done by adding a slurpy hash and iterationg over .pairs - trivial
Should I?
moritz_ wait a sec
it depends on whether we allow options like /c, /s in Perl 5
that would be done via named arguments => potential clashes 08:01
masak moritz_: not sure I understand your suggestion. if named arguments behave just like positional pairs, does that mean that it's impossible to send a positional pair to a routine? 08:11
moritz_ masak: I was proposing that for .trans only 08:13
masak oh, ok.
I can definitely see that on a sub-to-sub basis, yes. 08:14
there was a period where I stubbornly unified pairs and named arguments on the callee-side. I think I've got over that. never wrote a blog post about the pro and cons, though. 08:15
eternaleye Hmm, rakudo barfs on my first attempt with 'unable to find final }' despite all of them being balanced. Hoping tryfile is clearer. 08:17
Hm, says it's OK
Oh, wait, premature 08:18
moritz_ eternaleye: it probably means it's a parse error before the closing )
eternaleye I didn't notice that the 'ok' message was followed by the path to Test.pm6
moritz_: Probably
08:18 xinming left
eternaleye But if there's an actual error, STD has nice messages 08:19
Nope, it checks out. I'll paste it so people can look

08:20 xinming joined
moritz_ uhm 08:21
try less at once 08:22
comment out some of the blocks
eternaleye Okay
moritz_ and see which one causes the parse failure
08:22 plobsing left
moritz_ (and leave out the 'Pair' type constraint before the slurpy... it's probably ignored, or will cause pain) 08:22
masak eternaleye: my guess is that it fails to parse on 'tr/ABC/abc/'. 08:23
that's where the line number says it fails, anyway.
moritz_ oh, right
masak (yay! line numbers!)
jnthn++
eternaleye Thanks masak!
moritz_ and hey, I even wrote that on my blog :-)
08:24 posixninja joined
masak eternaleye: and what moritz_ said. treat carefully. I can tell you from experience that taking small steps helps curb the monster in Rakudo. 08:24
moritz_ "To test it without actually having to recompile Rakudo after each change, I recommend to copy the test that Rakudo can parse (ie the method tests, not the tests for tr///),..."
eternaleye moritz_: I got the first part, but my eyes must have skipped the parens :/

moritz_ moritz.faui2k3.org/tmp/book.pdf # now with an index, and link in the table of contents 08:27
we should make a release soonish 08:28
eternaleye Hm now it dies with 'too many positional arguments: 4 passed, 3 expected' and any debugging prints in the method are never executed.
moritz_ eek 08:29
it might be interfering with parrot's .trans method
eternaleye: does it stay the same if you add a 'multi' before the method?
masak why is Parrot's .trans method even visible on the Rakudo layer? 08:30
eternaleye Yes
dalek ok: ce53208 | (Ralf Valerien)++ | (2 files):
Implement links and index generation
eternaleye Multi has no effect
s/M/m/
moritz_ eternaleye: then for now re-name the method to .trans2 (and also change the tests)
eternaleye Okay 08:31
moritz_ we'll investigate later what's the problem and how to fix it
eternaleye Ewww, parrot leakage: 'Method 'trans2' not found for invocant of class 'Perl6Str'' 08:32
I really like signature unpacking in when clauses though. REALLY nice. 08:34
mathw I've yet to use it, but I think it's awesome
It's almost like being a Haskell programmer again 08:35
moritz_ eternaleye: when I rename the method to trans2, it's called just fine (though it gives a Null PMC access) 08:38
08:38 dakkar joined
eternaleye Although, it's probably tidier to use Pair[Array,Str] than Pair ( Array $key, Str $value ) 08:38
moritz_: Hmm, maybe my rakudo is old 08:39
moritz_ eternaleye: that would make a difference
eternaleye: I highly recommend to upgrade to latest rakudo development version... those new stack traces make life much easier
eternaleye moritz_: running configure.pl now. I had a git checkout, it was just old 08:40
Since I didn't want to wait for it to build before I started hacking :3
moritz_ :-)
mathw unfortunately rakudo's moving so fast that you really do have to be up to date 08:41
moritz_ fortunately it's moving so fast that it's well worth being up to date :-)
eternaleye moritz_: Thoughts on which phrasing for the when clauses? One is smaller, one is more explicit 08:42
moritz_ eternaleye: I don't think Pair[Array, Str] works 08:43
because Pair is not a parametric type
eternaleye Huh, thought it was for some reason 08:44

frettled Heh
mathw yeah that might be good 10:04
masak where's the fun in that? :)
mathw well it's distracting me from being angry, so...
masak if frettled cared about his question, he'd have asked it already :P
frettled So, let's say that you have an object reference vehicle, which holds a reference to car, which holds a reference to van, and you want to call van's drive() subroutine. 10:05
You typically do: vehicle.car.van.drive();
In Simula, we'd write:
(pseudo-codish)
INSPECT vehicle.car.van DO
BEGIN
drive;
masak that's given.
frettled END;
masak as moritz_++ said.
moritz_ given $vehicle.car.van { .drive }; 10:06

colomon ah, true, releasing rakudo was a major effort, even though everything was completely straightforward.
moritz_, masak, jnthn, etc: I don't think the letter of the spec mentions it, but I think the spirit of the spec suggests that nested hypers should include hashes as well. 12:38
It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to implement.
masak colomon: you should try releasing Rakudo in a foreign country, *without a battery charger for your laptop*! :P 12:39
colomon Thoughts? Objections?
masak colomon: yes, probably.
jnthn colomon: Probably, yes.
colomon masak: no thanks, I prefer what little sanity I have left.
masak colomon: because hashes can easily behave as a kind of list.
moritz_ colomon: yes. Tormenting the implementor and user on behalf of TimToady's evil laughter, and so on :-)
colomon masak: well, and lists can contain hashes. 12:40

moritz_ :-) 13:02
masak jnthn: it makes much more sense, doesn't it? and there's no ambiguity either, since the ! in ?! would be in operator position, as opposed to the prefix operator. 13:03
mathw masak: maybe you could write an article on the Perl 6 culture
Or there should be a chapter in the Book
I seem to recall something about Perl culture in the camel book 13:04
jnthn masak: Yes, especially as ? and ! has a very boolean-ish feel.
moritz_ what kind of things would you expect there?
masak the ?: ternary operator seems to have been born along with BCPL. if so, it's 34 years old. 13:05
mathw yay! another thing that's older than me!
masak moritz_: I don't know, it's probably not things that can be empirically measured. but I feel that different programming languages seem to attract different types of people, and to shape them differently. 13:06
mathw masak: definitely
arnsholt IIRC the Camel book talks a bit about TMTOWTDI, and Perl poetry

I think much of the warmth of this channel is a function of there being a core of regulars who know each other well by now. dilute it with 10x as many newbies, and much of the warmth might go away. 13:10
jnthn masak: Depends if it happened slowly enough for the warmth to be adopted by the new arrivals. 13:11
masak jnthn: to some extent, yes.
jnthn masak: If we suddenly got 10x as many people all in one go though, yes, that'd make things quite different.

masak apart from line autochomping, is Perl 6 spec'd to do any translation between platform-dependent newlines externally and the "\n" character internally? 14:23
moritz_ I think so 14:24
jnthn I think \n is meant to be a "logical" newline.
We're getting something wrong somewhere in that space though.
masak this question is arguably part of my GSoC grant :) 14:26
jnthn ('cus I get some test fails on Win32 as a result...)
Oh cool
I don't have to find and fix 'em then. ;-)
masak: srsly though, there is something working Not Quite Right in that area, and spec'ing it clearly if it ain't already would go some way to help with getting the right fix. 14:27
Su-Shee mberends: I'll go home in half an hour and will later do cleanup and start fetchrowall_whateverref.
jnthn Su-Shee++
masak jnthn: duly noted.
moritz_ the default input mode should convert CRLF, LF, CR and LFCR all to a single \n 14:28
masak is that explicit in the spec, or is it a case of "Perl 5 does it, so Perl 6 does it"? 14:31
moritz_ I think "\n is a logical newline" is in the spec
14:31 plobsing left
masak the phrase 'logical newline' occurs in S05, but not in (say) S02. 14:32
moritz_ S32::IO would be more interesting 14:33

S32::IO is... underspecified.
moritz_ and {under,over}engineered

awwaiid the index of the book I'll have, eh?
jnthn awwaiid: Or WITCH - www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi?witch
TimToady 'd is subjunctive, which is (potentially) counterfactual :)
awwaiid so once I figure this out, I should put it in svn.pugscode.org/pugs/docs/u4x/docu...wigils.pod ? :) 17:21
jnthn I'm sure contributions to u4x are most welcome. :-)
awwaiid this wiki guide is pretty handy lookin, thanks jnthn 17:22

patrickas hehehe incremental search would have made it good enough :-)
TimToady twigil rhymes with sigil, and I pronoune it with a 'j' sound
awwaiid like twijil? fascinating
TimToady I also pronounce pronoune with a 'c' :) 17:27
17:27 mikehh joined
patrickas :-D good comeback 17:27
TimToady yes, incremental search would have helped you twig to it 17:28
arnsholt TimToady: But with 'j' do you mean a palatal approximant, or a post-alveolar fricative? =)
patrickas I hate how I have no idea how to pronounce half of the technical terms because I always read them and never hear them 17:29
17:29 Schwern joined
TimToady I mean voiced alveolar affricative, or any reasonble facsimile accepted by the typical English speaker as the /j/ phoneme :) 17:29
I guess that's usually shortened to "affricate" 17:30
arnsholt Isn't an affricate something like 'ts'?
Two consonants that are one phoneme 17:31
huf patrickas: i read them in whatever strange mix my "internal language" is... and then teach people what i mean when they look at me strange ;)
TimToady that would be an unvoiced dental affricate, yes
well, [ts] can be one or two phonemes
see 'prince' vs 'prints' 17:32
17:32 alester left
TimToady and now we're in the realm of morphophonemics :) 17:32
arnsholt Hooray!
lichtkind mberends: hai 17:33
huf prince has [ts]?
Su-Shee patrickas: *haha* me too. and another half is pronounced in my native tongue or .. french :)
mberends hai lichtkind! 17:34
TimToady huff: yes, you can't help it, because your tongue is already in the 't' position while you're saying the 'n' 17:35
Su-Shee puts some chocolate between the tongue and the t.
slavik TimToady: gotta ask, have you studied esperanto? 17:36
TimToady and you need the air pressure of the stop to turn off your voicing, or you'd end up saying [nz]
patrickas I think I have been pronouncing Sigil with a hard g in my head for over a decade :-( 17:37
TimToady slavik: nope
slavik авв
aww 17:38
arnsholt Our local esperantist is masak
TimToady well, most dictionaries allow both pronunciations
Su-Shee patrickas: me too.
slavik forgot to switch from cyrilic ...
TimToady but I think they tend to prefer the /j/
slavik ooh, here's another one ... 'often' is the letter 't' supposed to be pronounced? when I was taught english, I was told it was silent (british english), but in US just about everyone pronounces it. 17:39
TimToady slavik: I thought I'd try a non-indo-european language, and esperanto is basically indo-european
patrickas ok then I think i'll head-pronounce twigil with a hard g too :-)
TimToady so I'm studying Japanese instead
slavik I see
arnsholt I think some pronounce the t, but IIRC it's actually hyper-correct
slavik japanese is interesting
arnsholt (re: often)
slavik since there is no proper future tense ...
huf hmm, what are the ipa symbols (and the names) for the two t-s? 17:40
jnthn slavik: I speak British-ish English and the "t" is pretty much not said unless you're speaking posh.:-)
Not in fast/colloquial speech and especially not in the dialect spoken where I grew up, where even the "t" in "water" was often done away with. :-)
huf ah, wiki claims they're just variants
slavik I want to date a hot british chick :D 17:41
TimToady slavik: but the time adverbials usually come first, so you usually know it's future before you ever get to the verb, which is generally last
"Tomorrow I go to the store" 17:42
slavik TimToady: right
17:42 hercynium left
slavik TimToady: but there is no future indefinite? as in sometime in the future I will go to the store 17:42
TimToady there's certainly no "someday I will have gone to the store" :) 17:43
jnthn slavik: Heh, curious. s/british/slavic/ for me. ;-)
Su-Shee that's to called "slacker's future" ;) 17:44
diakopter future perfect?
17:44 azert0x left
arnsholt Mmmm, future perfect. Brings back memories from reading Latin 17:45
patrickas ford prefect!
rindolf I will have gone
TimToady yes, and Greek has it to, and yes, it can be made into a theological point with "what you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven" :0
slavik yeah, when I was learning enlish as a wee lad, we were taught all the tenses and such
I think there are 12 of them? 17:46
TimToady I never counted
slavik needs to say, english class in US is horribly lacking IMO
jnthn 12 sounds familiar.
slavik we got up to like 5 or 6 or something
and we were tested on them, too.
as in say <blah> in such and such tense and such
arnsholt But half of those twelve are perifrastic or with modal verbs, no?
slavik something like that 17:47
arnsholt Like the perfect "I have gone"
TimToady and, of course, many of the distictions are aspectual, not specifically past/present/future
*stinct
arnsholt Not really a proper tense like "I went" =)
TimToady well, for instance, "I go" is not really present tense
huf yeah, you indo-europeans like to mix in weird concepts
TimToady "I am going" is really the present form
arnsholt Yeah, the present tense is a more complicated category than many think 17:48
TimToady "I go" is more timeless
arnsholt Another favourite of mine is "I smoke"
TimToady and in that sense, "I am going" is also the typical future!
17:49 snarkyboojum joined
TimToady so in that sense English is like Japanese 17:49
arnsholt Indeed, it's more of an imperfective aspect than a present tense
17:49 nothingmuch joined
patrickas TimToady isn't that a relatively new addition to english ? using "am ...ing" for the present ? 17:49
TimToady I forget :) 17:50
arnsholt My Middle and Old Enligsh are non-existant, but my guess would be not
TimToady or maybe I am forgetting :)
cognominal "je vais parler" in French has (somehow) same structure as "I am going to talk" and is often used too. 17:51
arnsholt The -ing is a present participle, so combining that with a present tense copula would be a reasonably obvious construction
cognominal a/same/the same/
17:51 Schwern left
cognominal arf 17:51
17:51 PerlJam left
patrickas same in spanish 17:51
arnsholt cognominal: I'd argue that it's closer to "I will talk"
TimToady English speakers still tend to use the non-progressive forms for some verbs, such as "forget"
17:51 PerlJam joined
TimToady so the transition is by no means complete even now 17:51
arnsholt Perhaps a telic/atelic thing? 17:52
patrickas with "voy a"
TimToady "I forget", but "I am forgetting my manners" 17:53
arnsholt cognominal: OTOH the modal verb is the same with the other construction. Choices, choices ^^
patrickas and just now I realise it is the same in spoken (thou not traditional) arabic!
17:54 Wolfman2000 joined
arnsholt Oooh, I have a book that mentions the history of the "going to ..." construction 17:54
arnsholt tries to find it
TimToady it's really funny in the Septuigint, how they would avoid the classical past forms and do the equivalent of changing "went" to "was going". 17:55
arnsholt Nifty. Do you happen to know what kind of construction the Hebrew uses in those cases? 17:56
TimToady hence, one of the most common words in the LXX is ἦν
arnsholt: not offhand 17:57
I only learned enough Hebrew to look things up in books :)
17:57 patrickas left, patrickas joined
rindolf arnsholt: Hebrew only has 4 main tenses : past, medium, future/present and imperative. 17:57
arnsholt Heh. Worth a try. I've been reading some Gothic this semester, and reading it much like reading Greek, but with Germanic words instead ^^ 17:58
patrickas rindolf: do you use "to go" for future ?
rindolf patrickas: no, we don't.
arnsholt rindolf: Yeah, which is why comparing the "odd" pasts in the Greek with the constructions in the Hebrew original
rindolf patrickas: well, in modern Hebrew one can say "I am going to do something."
arnsholt To see if it might be an influence from the original text, or a purely Greek change
patrickas rindolf: same with spoken arabic 17:59
TimToady Japanese has a similar form, though based on 'come' instead of 'go'
rindolf patrickas: ah.
patrickas and i just realized that :-O
arnsholt My book says that "going to ..." as a future in English dates to the fifteenth century
Cites an example from 1439 as "one of the earliest examples" 18:00
TimToady certainly they had "Go to!" as a command back then
to which an appropriate response is "I am going to!"
:)
arnsholt Good point. At which point the future construction is but a stone's throw away =D 18:01
TimToady Note: that's just a conjecture on my part, don't take it as Truth :)
arnsholt Of course, but it's a conjecture I like =) 18:02

patrickas can anyone help with what is wrong here ? 18:44
jnthn patrickas: I think it may be the Rakudo bug about backtracking into named subrules. 18:45
TimToady that's what it looks like to me
jnthn We have one in RT, I believe.
If anyone's actually about for it, #phasers in ~15 mins 18:46
patrickas Oh ok thanks... I'll add a test to the day 10 in advent calendar
bkeeler #phasers used to be #rakudosketch?

TimToady patrickas: just translated your example into STDese, and it works correctly under Cursor
patrickas Cursor++ I guess 18:54
even though I have no idea what cursor is!
18:55 LylePerl joined
diakopter it takes only a cursory glance 18:55
LylePerl hi all 18:56
patrickas oh :-)
TimToady in Cursor it works by returning a lazy list of possible matches from the subrule
so it's easy to backtrack into a rule simply by generating its next match from the lazy list
in a sense, backtracking in Cursor is nothing more than throwing away your current conjecture; nothing has to be "undone" 18:57
patrickas Are there any plans for rakudo to implement it the same way ? 18:58
Su-Shee mberends: pastebin.org/299114
TimToady patrickas: dunno, but it's a very clean way to think about it
18:58 aindilis joined
bkeeler It is indeed, Cursor++! 18:59
TimToady it does imply that Cursors are immutable, at least till optimizations get involved
which also imples that, at least in the abstract, there are a number of Cursors out there carrying duplicate state information 19:02
19:02 justatheory left
TimToady but indirection and laziness keep most of those from ever being generated, I hope 19:02
well, the laziness prevents generation, and the indirection makes it cheap to dup 19:03
mberends Su-Shee: looks correct. Does finish() also set @!column_names to Mu, or does maybe execute() do that?
TimToady so all Cursors, for instance, carry around context pointers to a linked list of contexts that can be "cut", but the tails of those lists are all shared 19:04

TimToady the basic notion is that if you peek EXPR you should get termish's LTM instead

at first I thought this was a bug in @*BINDINGS usage, but now I am not so sure

looks like maybe a bug to me 23:48
23:49 skids joined
sorear it will be added to viv, for now, in the name of compatibility 23:49

23:50 justatheory joined
sorear why are bindnamed and bindpos separate? 23:51
TimToady ah, okay, same for STARr, etc 23:53
the multiple bindings semantics that produce an array are actually determined by whether the field is initialized to [] 23:55
sorear yes, I found that already
TimToady so there's a sense in which the quantifier is outside
sorear binding /to/ the optonal paren, however, seems to result in $<binding> being a string 23:56
which is quite useless to viv
23:56 Schwern left
TimToady it looks like a bug with OPTr that we don't have C->{'binding'} = []; 23:56
sorear doesn't fully understand the Cursor subcapture mechanism
OPTr is special cased to not do that, actually
the rule is an approximation of "could the capture be matched more than once? array it!" 23:57
TimToady Cursor.pmc:441 decided whether to array it based on whether it's already a []
but not arraying ? is non-spec
it might date from when non-arraying it *was* spec :) 23:58
so it should really have C->{'binding'} = []; above to do it by spec 23:59
