Set by jnthn on 28 February 2015.
raydiak yep looks like jnthn++ already had the same grammar idea and started implementing it (though a couple years of bitrot makes it segfault): github.com/jnthn/grammar-generative 00:00
TimToady: do you know if it met any particular obstacles other than X::NoTuits? 00:01

skids raydiak: github.com/skids/perl6netpack/blob...r.pm6#L122 those were my thought on the matter years ago. 00:27
(That and a more formalized way to specify a default actions.) 00:28
00:34 alini left
skids But mainly my biggest wish for grammars is reducing the "make foo.ast" boilerplate when you need to skip up the tree. 00:35
00:37 cognominal left
skids Some form of advanced "make" that walks the sub-tree to find asts or sub-sub-rules maybe. 00:38
raydiak or a default action which does so, and gets overridden if you define your own 00:39
skids ...and a way to elide a shim rule, say lie a <..rule> that would be invisible but whose subrules would still appear where it does. 00:40

timotimo you can still just put { make $<foo> } at the end of your regex 01:26
01:51 vendethiel left
muraiki if I create a promise using async and the code inside of async throws an exception, does that result in a failed promise or do I have to do that manually? 01:56
skids timotimo: It's that you have to either put { make $<foo><bar>[42]<fnord> } at branch tops or put { make blah } on every rule. 02:02
(or if you are talking aout default actions, if you { make $<foo> } that happens even when alternate actions are specified.) 02:03
timotimo no, not default actions 02:04
just that you don't have to build methods for everything

muraiki it looks like the promise fails, woot 02:20
does anyone know how I can redirect stdout/stderr locally? 02:21

02:22 vendethiel joined
dnmfarrell is there a way to check for the existence of named captures in $/? Something like $/<singeline_format_text>:exists 02:27
timotimo that should work, yes 02:28
you can also get $/.keys
muraiki: you can use Async::Process for that
doc.perl6.org/type/Proc::Async
muraiki timotimo: thanks! 02:29
timotimo you're welcome
hm, also there's open :pipe
not documented on doc.perl6.org it seems? 02:30
dnmfarrell timotimo: hmm it doesn't like $?<name>:exists is there a way I can use the hash interface like: $?{"name"}:exists (that example doesn't work either, I think)
timotimo you want $/ of course 02:31
dnmfarrell yeah sorry bad typing
timotimo m: "hello" ~~ / (.) $0 /; say $/.keys

dnmfarrell I have this: if ($/.<url>:exists && $/.<singleline_format_text>:exists)

muraiki hrm, am I doing something bad if I get the error: P6opaque: no such attribute '$!tappers_lock'
tony-o probably - what's your CStruct look like?
muraiki I don't even know what a CStruct is, heh 02:53
tony-o do you have a gist?
02:54 noganex_ joined
timotimo ... CStruct? 02:54
muraiki gist.github.com/muraiki/1211c20fc0d1f2f7af33
tony-o i've only ever seen that P6Opaque error when i try to access something that wasn't part of a class .. repr('CStruct') ...
muraiki sorry but I can't provide the full program... you'd need a config file that has some company specific stuff in it. but I can try to make something generic if necessary, but that would probably have to be tomorrow 02:55
without the taps it works fine
so I imagine I am doing something bad there, heh
timotimo that can't be right, because P6Opaque is a repr and if you use a CStruct repr, you should never get errors for a P6Opaque thingie
tony-o timotimo: maybe i was confused, i was trying a lot of stuff trying to get csv parsing with NativeCall to work :/ 02:56
timotimo mhm
muraiki: can you print out the .perl of the .stdout and .stderr?
02:56 noganex left
muraiki sure 02:56
02:57 colomon left
tony-o i'm fried, apparently. later 02:58
muraiki hrm, if I "say $proc.stdout.perl" I just get "Supply.new"
02:58 colomon joined
muraiki ah, initializing $stdout and $stderr to "" seems to fix it 03:00
but now I'm getting a warning "use of uninitialized value of type Any in numeric context" on line 14 03:01
let me .perl the promise
tony-o signal might be any 03:02
muraiki yeah, that's it 03:03
pid is also Any
tony-o ($promise.result.signal // 0) != 0 03:04
muraiki thanks! 03:05
er... but now I ran it once and got the tappers_lock error, then I ran it a second time and got "Unhandled exception in code scheduled on thread 139942201779968 MVMArray: Index out of bounds"
running it a third time yielded "No appropriate parametric role variant available for 'Buf" 03:06
all sorts of fun things :n
well I really need to get to bed, but hopefully I can debug this more tomorrow 03:07
thanks for your help, everyone

nbdsp Greetings! Could someone advise please what is the fastest way to iterate over a list of lines with space separated words (like this: '1 word1 A') and place the second and third words of each line into a tuple in a second list. When I use: for @list1 { my ($a $b $c) = $_.words; @list2.push( $b, $c ); } or for @list1 { $_ ~~ m:s/\d+ (<-[\ ]>+) (\w)/; @list2.push: ( $/[0], $/[1]); } - this ways take about 3 minutes to iterate over a list w 06:44
on a machine with a 1.2 Ghz single core processor. Is such timing normal?

moritz I'd write it as @list = @list1.map({ .words[0, 1]}) 06:48
but no idea if it's faster
and yes, list iteration is known to be rather slow

09:11 rindolf joined
masak in the first 15 minutes of asking. 09:11
I think we might have something here.
some context: category theory is "the branch of mathematics school never told you about (but should have)" 09:12
it unifies so many things. it explains a fair bunch of things, too.
it's very relevant to programming, especially things to do with types.
but also in relating programs and types to other fields.
I just submitted a course abstract to Edument about category theory. I don't expect that course to ever go off, because the IT industry doesn't work like that. 09:13
labster A man can always dream.
masak right.
but it's nice to see there's some interest here :)
I'll... get back to y'all about details. it may happen. then again, it may not. 09:14
lunch &
FROGGS might it may happen in May if I may ask? 09:16

cognominal the pb with category theory is it usually uses examples from parts of math I don't know. 09:54

10:07 sven_123 joined, sven_123 left
masak there are a lot of things in that region of math that end up equivalent. 10:07
for example, complex numbers can be represented as 2x2 matrices of reals with a certain shape. 10:08
and so complex multiplication can be put into correspondence with matrix multiplication.
(and that's also a way to remember some sine and cosine laws)
cognominal After college, I felt I learnt all the bourbakic bureaucratie without the interesting things that motivated them. Learing about CT makes me things I had not been swindled after all.
s/things/think/ 10:09
masak heh, even Bourbaki didn't use the (early) results of Bourbaki. :P
the first volume produced (with set foundations) basically quickly became out-of-date and something to ignore. 10:10
they still had an undeniably big influence, though.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourbaki_dang...end_symbol for example 10:11
and ∅ for en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_set 10:12
cognominal Also after learning all these alphabets and notations (matrices, indices, exponent...), it was quite a let down to go back to upper case ASCII for programming.

.oO( the fear of APL? )
 10:59
masak I still think it's a freedom-under-responsibility thing, mind. but so are many things in Perl.
lizmat: more like the fear of not being able to enter characters, or having them display wrong on screen, or encode wrong on disk.
those fears are unwarranted, because they have good solutions. 11:00
lizmat well, as long as their not synthetic, it should be ok
masak as in, multiple codepoints?
lizmat otoh, synthetic unicode ops *would* be the ultimate dogfooding :-)

lizmat ok, maybe "false friend" is a dutchism :-) 11:09
maybe not, if we're to believe WP: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_friend 11:10
masak yeah, maybe not.
in Swedish, we also have it as "false friend", so I think I assumed that was a false cognate 11:11

Since there is happening some refactoring in Grammar and World, what is your opinion about moving those levenshtein subs into a separate file and be included and used from World? Is it worth it or it's too much trouble? The only methods that use them are suggest_{typename,lexicals,routines}. 12:49
12:49 petercommand joined
FROGGS my feeling is that these might want to be moved to nqp 12:51
like there is sprintf.nqp in HLL
we could move levenshtein to this place, and also punycode in case we are going to implement it
12:52 brrt joined
lizmat FROGGS: I was actually thinking of moving the Levenshtein code to Perl6 / settings 12:55
but I agree they should become more accessible
FROGGS does that actually work?
lucasb Second thing is: what is your opinion about making levenshtein suggestion optional? Maybe turned on/off at compilation time, or a cmdline switch, or a pragma. Doesn't it incur a little time penalty? The default could be on, and if some programmer doesn't want to wait those miliseconds, it could turn it off. 12:56

rarara Hello, I don't have a culture in CS and I am now learning (from you) about the concept of Grammars; Only one thing is preventing me form using them and is memory usage and I would like to ask to you if there are already elegant solutions to my problems.
lizmat well, my next step will be to have @*INC/%*CUSTOM_LIB only have strings
FROGGS hi timotimo
lizmat and vivify CUR objects on demand
but that will be tomorrow, after a visit to AmsterdamX.pm 13:00
rarara Imagine the computer is you, and someone is talking to you some simple sentences: I think that you would not store all the information in a parse tree
FROGGS rarara: did you hit some memory usage issues?
DrForr rarara: if you're using perl{6}? you shouldn't be worrying about memory.
rarara I would like to be constructive
lizmat afk for rest of the day&
13:00 cognominal joined
DrForr rarara: A source file isn't a set of disconnected paragraphs. 13:01
rarara I think you would store the simple sentences, or if you want the paragrpah or the chapters
DrForr I agree that for perl6 usage it is perfectly fine
but what about the user which is parsing gbites of data
?
13:01 ir2ivps4 left
moritz rarara: there are two possible answers 13:01
DrForr Then you can use subparse(). 13:02
moritz rarara: the first is to not do it in one .parse call
spit by paragraphs first, for example
and the second is that Perl 6 promises something called "parse tree pruning", but it's not really designed yet
rarara ok it would be a solution
moritz so, you could find a good design for that, implement it, and be happy
could be as simple as Match.forget-captures 13:03
that would throw away everything in the parse tree under the Match object you call it on
rarara subparse would be ok but is not a flexible mechanism; forget-captures would be nice to have 13:05
I will look if I find time to learn to do it
timotimo there's going to be an element for inside regexes that'd cause the target string up to the current match position to be "cut off" and possibly forgotten, along with the matches (i guess?) 13:08
that's also not yet implemented
moritz there's <( and )> 13:09
they are implemented
but they don't throw away old captures; they just cause none to be made outside
13:15 xfix left
rarara would this be the best documentation for the grammar api at the moment? github.com/perl6/specs/blob/master...-regex.pod 13:15
moritz rarara: there's also doc.perl6.org/type/Grammar and doc.perl6.org/type/Match
FROGGS timotimo: <cut> probably, which corresponds to either ::: or :::: 13:16
I'd love to implement it, though, need someone else's braincells for that too 13:17
moritz I thought <cut> was about backtracking o^Hcontrol? 13:23
FROGGS "A <cut> assertion always matches successfully, and has the side effect of logically deleting the parts of the string already matched. Whether this actually frees up the memory immediately may depend [...]" 13:24
"Attempting to backtrack past a <cut> causes the complete match to fail [...]" 13:25
moritz ok, seems my p6 memory is rusty :-) 13:27
FROGGS I guess it is fun to implement, though I know that it does not make sense to try it again with out some clarification 13:29
moritz yes, deleting stuff in an immutable string seems questionable

FROGGS a literal TypeA(TypeB) is a coercer

FROGGS when you see that A() is in fact A(Any) it also gets clear
aye
flussence makes sense to me, you just have to look at it like a function call - B is an input
