camelia rakudo-moar 46874f: OUTPUT«｢foobar｣␤»
psch m: Str.^can('submatch').perl.say
camelia rakudo-moar 46874f: OUTPUT«()␤»
psch timotimo: the Str is what allows the matching to happen (which is another notch on my "something is the wrong way around with '$str ~~ $rx' log), and i don't know if a Str wants to support a submatch 00:04
it doesn't seem particularly valuable, from a "what do we use these constructs for" point of view 00:05
there's probably more than one angle to argue from here. something like "Grammars should have an ACCEPTS" on one hand, "it should be $rx ~~ $str" on the other hand 00:06
m: say "foo" ~~ /foo/
camelia rakudo-moar 46874f: OUTPUT«｢foo｣␤»

psch it's just odd
00:07 Ben_Goldberg joined, llfourn left
psch i mean, from a "what can objects do" perspective it seems fitting enough - a string can match against a regex or not 00:07
but a regex ACCEPTS a string feels kind of off there
00:08 Ben_Goldberg left
psch probably starts sounding a bit ranty there... 00:08

ShimmerFairy The problem with the idea of Regex.match is that there's already a Str.match, and I don't think it's a good idea to mix meanings like that. If anything, it should be called Regex.parse (and thus also Regex.subparse) 00:10

llfourn softmoth: that works I'm not sure how well it will import from Foo if it exists
softmoth ok. I found some possible workaround at github.com/supernovus/flower/blob/...ES.pm6#L36 04:06
04:07 |Tux| left
softmoth I hope it is is something that is on the Rakudo roadmap for the near future 04:07
llfourn softmoth: that comment is old. it does work now 04:08
you have to do require ::($plugname)
04:09 |Tux| joined
softmoth OK. It doesn't do imports right though, I guess. I'm trying to make crustup (from p6-Crust) work with more Handler types, and not have to add 'use HTTP::Server::Tiny' at the top. If I take out 'use HTTP::Server::Tiny;' from the top of crustup, the require of the handler works, but code that it needs doesn't get loaded. It works if I replace 'use HTTP::Server::Tiny;' with 'use IO::Blob;', so that's the bit that 04:13
isn't loaded.
04:13 lizmat_ joined
softmoth But when I try to use a different Handler, then some other dependency isn't loaded right 04:13
04:14 et09 left
softmoth I thought maybe if I could do a conditional 'use' at the top of crustup, I could get things to work with a wider range of installed (or not) handler modules. 04:14
llfourn softmoth: I could probably help you easier if you put it into a gist
softmoth: are you trying to load + import or just load dynamically? 04:15
softmoth: I'm not really familiar with those modules unfortunetly :/
04:16 lizmat left
softmoth I'm not sure what I'm trying to do, either, really :-/ 04:16
llfourn hehe I know that feels
softmoth I'll try to get something simplified to ask a proper question.
llfourn sure there is some docs here if that helps: docs.perl6.org/language/modules#Loa..._Importing 04:17
softmoth Although, it appears that the Crust devs have changed the code I was hacking on, now that I look at it.
04:17 nightfrog left
softmoth So I'll look into that; they've made it require ::($_) for @!modules, and maybe have some way of getting the needed modules in there. 04:18
llfourn good luck :)
softmoth thanks! :-)
moznion Some modules looks like they don't have `updated` column modules.perl6.org/ 04:22
Is this why?
04:25 Hor|zon joined 04:26 Ben_Goldberg left 04:30 Hor|zon left
softmoth The solution they've used is to be able to pass needed modules (e.g., -MFastCGI::NativeCall -MFastCGI::NativeCall::PSGI in my case) to crustup, and it does require ::($_) on those. 04:37
It would be nice for 'require ::(Module::That::Uses::FastCGI::NativeCall)' to handle that dependency automatically, but maybe there's something else going on that I'm not aware of 04:38
Anyways, the current solution seems to work as long as I know what dependencies need to be added 04:39
04:39 llfourn left
softmoth I'm curious if someone who actually knows how this should work would say if it's correct or not. 04:39

ugexe personally i think that type of stuff should go into some sort of compunitrepo specific to the application. then it can autoload all the modules (middleware) itself 05:21
05:25 khw left 05:26 Hor|zon joined
ugexe as far as whats going on it sounds like its due to lexical scoping 05:28

06:10 apotheon_ joined, diana_olhovik joined, domidumont joined 06:12 apotheon left 06:15 domidumont left
softmoth I'm not sure where the compunitrepo would live. Defining it in Crust would be brittle; every time FastCGI::NativeCall (for example) changes what modules it uses, Crust would have to make a change. Defining it in FastCGI::NativeCall doesn't make sense, since its author doesn't know that someone may want to require it at runtime. 06:15
06:15 domidumont joined, darutoko joined 06:16 tokuhirom_ joined
softmoth Explicitly specifying modules (what looks like Crust::Runner's current approach) puts the burden on the end user, which is also brittle and tedious, but it works and puts the solution at the same level as the error will show up. 06:17

FROGGS we don't know exactly why it is slower right now, right?
lizmat or do you see much larger delays ?
FROGGS: my guess would be that we're missing a lot of optimizations post GLR 07:48

FROGGS that's also my guess, but it is hard to guess the things
azawawi mainly with the Selenium::WebDriver test suite 01-load.t (which does basically a use XYZ;) 07:49
FROGGS azawawi: well, keep in mind that also precomp is gone atm
azawawi FROGGS: aha 07:50
FROGGS that probably has the biggest impact there

ShimmerFairy mrf: I think it'd be cool to have a dedicated space for various IETF RFCs :) If you wanted to be a bit more specific, then I'd suggest Grammar::IETF::RFC (e.g. Grammar::IETF::RFC::_5234). 10:51
Or IETF::RFC::Grammar , depending on how you want to organize things :)
(you could also do RFC_5234 instead of RFC::_5234 if you'd prefer, of course) 10:52
pmurias moritz: (Date.new defaulting to christmas)-- 10:54
mrf Either is fine. I like the idea of having top level Grammar namespace for things like this and other standardised grammars. (CSS, XML, Email, Date) etc
ShimmerFairy pmurias: why is it bad? You didn't say what date you wanted? Could be February 32nd for all the info you didn't give :P
s:2nd/\?/./ 10:55
mrf ShimmerFairy: Not sure really how to namespace that much. Several RFCs like 5234 are around how to write RFCs which seems like they should have a separate namespace. but not sure
moritz pmurias: I know, we're becoming Enterprise and all, no place for fun anymore
ShimmerFairy mrf: the IETF::RFC::Grammar idea I gave is if your intention was more towards supporting a variety of RFCs in general. As always, TIMTOWTDI :) 10:57
10:57 kjs_ joined
mrf ShimmerFairy: Are there any RFCs outside of the IETF? 10:57
ShimmerFairy mrf: sure, notably the RFC process that started Perl 6 :) 10:58
nine moritz: it fun when you do it and the rare times one discovers it, but negative fun for those who are bitten by the surprising behavior... I guess the latter group is larger. 10:59
mrf ShimmerFairy: that makes sense.
ShimmerFairy mrf: even though I suspect most would first think of the IETF when it comes to 'RFC', I personally would clarify that it's about IETF RFCs somewhere, just to minimize any potential confusion :)
nine: what surprising behavior? I don't understand what people expect an unspecified date to turn out as.
nine ShimmerFairy: it's the worst kind of error. The one that doesn't explode loudly but seems to work at first glance but silently returns wrong results because someone forgot to type the argument. 11:00
mrf ShimmerFairy: Yeah. I was initially leaning towards Grammar::IETF::RFC::* then you can have Grammar::IETF::* for the various actual top level uses of the RFCs like HTTP/MIME/Email/Date. Especially if the RFC's are just roles.
which is what ugexe has done at the mo. Just need spliting 11:01
hoelzro o/ #perl6

ShimmerFairy nine: not necessarily. If Date defaulted to something more boring like 'today', would you still argue against it? 11:04

hoelzro I was looking at S17-procasync/kill.t last night after fixing the bug that prevents Proc::Async.kill from working, and it seems that that test enumerates over all signals defined by the OS and throws each at a separate child process

nine ShimmerFairy: would it be documented? The christmas joke isn't. In any case I'd still be against it, even if not as strong. But we do have a Date.today method that makes it explicit, so there's no need for Date.new to do the same. So Date.new can be more strict and catch more bugs before they hurt anyone.
llfourn and how do I make it wait...?
mrf So you might have a IETF::HTTP module that uses Grammar::IETF::HTTP which does a whole slew of Grammar::IETF::RFC::*. The name space of the Action object seems sane to place separate from the Grammars. Having Grammars separate seems sane in my brain. But I am usually wrong

hoelzro alright, will do!
ShimmerFairy nine: The only reason I'm a bit against your example is that it feels a bit unlikely. I don't feel like you'd often pass an array that's supposed to contain a year, month, and date, and have it accidentally be empty. 11:09

nine ShimmerFairy: parse some strange date format using a regex, pass the capture groups to Date.new. Something goes wrong and the regex doesn't match -> empty result -> no arguments for Date.new. Something along those lines.

ShimmerFairy nine: hm. I'd of course say "check if your match was successful", but that does seem possible.

nine ShimmerFairy: of course! But people write imperfect code. And error paths are notoriously badly tested. I'd expect a bug like that when I write some one-off tool to get some information for a report out of a log file. And due to the wrongly parsed dates our average reaction time is an ok 3 months while in reality it isn't or something like that. 11:13

llfourn lizmat: interesting... is sleep blocking the thread (or am I not meant to think about that as a p6 programmer)? 11:15
nine ShimmerFairy: oh I love fun! Just not when it's gonna hurt users more than it's fun for us.
lizmat llfourn: sleep is not taking up any CPU or a thread 11:16
I think it is implemented as a timed cue internally
llfourn lizmat: so p6 is not necessarily creating a new thread with "start"? 11:17
lizmat indeed: it is just scheduling the task to be done
llfourn lizmat: that's cool!
lizmat as soon as a thread is available, it will execute it

moritz (it used to) 11:52
pmurias masak: for debugging purposes .perl could just have them commented out
ShimmerFairy masak: despite the fact that you don't take it seriously, I still think it's possible for a too-eager promotion of I::P5 to slow down the development of pure-P6 modules. 11:53
moritz ShimmerFairy: my experience is that people port Perl 5 modules to Perl 6 because they want to improve them in the progress 11:54
masak ShimmerFairy: I think the opposite would happen. Inline::Perl5 would make Perl 6 more attractive today, which would pull in more people, create more contributors, a bigger gravitational pull around Perl 6, and more reason to build pure Perl 6 modules 11:55
ShimmerFairy To be fair, I don't think it would be a very significant slowdown, but I still worry that being too quick to suggest it would temporarily divert the attention of people who're more than happy to write the P6 version :) 11:56
masak ShimmerFairy: I dislike almost all kinds of zero-sum either/or arguing around programming languages, and I would much more like to ride nine++'s happy have-cake/eat-cake train.
ShimmerFairy: you're arguing for limiting the options of people so that they are forced to make Perl 6 better. 11:57
lizmat fwiw, I was first apprehensive of a fully functional Inline::Perl5 as well...
11:57 bjz left
lizmat but if we can PR it like any of the other Inline:: modules, like Inline::Python, it only becomes more interesting, I think 11:58
aka: not the best of Both worlds, but the best of All worlds :-)
(especially with NativeCall now also supporting C++ :-)
ShimmerFairy masak: thinking about it, I suppose at least part of my concern is just because I::P5 would never be something I'd use, so it's just weird for me to see it recommended so much.
nine I have sometimes wondered if Inline::Python (the Perl 5 version) may actually harm Perl by making it easier for people to migrate from Perl to Python. I've come to the conclusion, that if people want to migrate to Python, they are no happy and productive members of the community anyway. They have their reasons to go and if I help them, so be it. At the end of the day I'd rather help people than force them. 11:59
jdv79 it would be neat if .perl could optionally include privates maybe
ShimmerFairy On .perl, I 12:00
jdv79 otherwise there would have to be some other dumper that poked at hte mop to do it
masak I'm more concerned with .new than with .perl, to be honest
ShimmerFairy On .perl, I'll point out that .gist has been conjectured to have various adverbs on it, so adverbs on .perl wouldn't be an issue methinks :)
jdv79 and not sure keeping dumping in .perl totally or having it split it up...
lizmat jdv79: simple, write your own .perl in a role, and does that in your class
masak it feels weird to talk about encapsulation from the creator of the object
lizmat ?
jdv79 yes. i know.
lizmat: but sometimes i'm using something else and i want to see it 12:01
pmurias masak: creator of the object - you mean the guy calling .new?
ShimmerFairy masak: that's what I pointed out last time, construction doesn't feel like it "counts" as normal object usage.
masak pmurias: right
jdv79 so, idk, i'm more about whether .perl should be the uber does it all dumper or not
which includes pretty, privates, code, etc...
ShimmerFairy (after all, you have no real 'self' in .new, at least usually)
12:01 bjz joined
masak ShimmerFairy: arguably when constructing an object, it's still "open" and hence not encapsulated 12:02
nine Rather than Perl having a reputation of "the legacy language that's hard to migrate from", I'd like it to be "The language, that never lets you down. Even if you have to move away from it."
masak I feel we're upholding the privacy barrier during .new/.bless for academic reasons that end up being of no use and just obstacles in practice
nine: never gonna give you up
jdv79 all the hub bub around I::P5 seems silly and petty esp since its a done deal;) 12:03
nine jdv79: oh I'm not done yet!
ShimmerFairy jdv79: there's a spot in the specs that mentions .gist having things like :oneline and such. Whether those should be there, or the fact that it's still NYI is a sign .gist and .perl shouldn't be "do-everything", who can say? :)
masak nine: never gonna run around and desert you

pmurias masak: but if we thing it in terms of having a private/public API, .new is still part of the public API
masak re .perl -- maybe an `is perlable` on private attributes could work?
nine For those who missed the early Friday morning slot
masak pmurias: yeah, but that argument does nothing for me when I feel annoyed that I can't init my private attrs through .new/.bless 12:05

nine blushes
thank you masak
12:06 andreoss` left
llfourn masak: ....and `is paramable` to allow the private attribute to be set by bless? 12:06
ShimmerFairy pmurias: I'm not sure if you saw, but my contention was that all attributes are private really, and has $.foo; just is nice sugar for creating a getter (and maybe setter) method for you. So the restrictions in .bless and so on feel more arbitrary (or, as masak++ put it, academic) than useful.
llfourn masak: or you think it should be default accessible?
pmurias ShimmerFairy: you repeated it multiple times and was wrong all of them
12:07 weihan left 12:08 rurban left
masak llfourn: the latter. 12:08
pmurias masak: the question is do you want to set private attributes through .new/.bless or do you want public attributes without an accessor? 12:09
llfourn masak: but what if you really don't want it to be able to be set?
pmurias masak: if you can access them using a public method (new) it feels like they are really public attributes 12:10
nine Why should a class' method not be able to access the object's properties? 12:11
pmurias nine: the user external to the class is accessing them through .new 12:12
nine: so they are visible to him
ShimmerFairy pmurias: I don't think .new setting attributes can really be called "access", at least not in the intuitive sense of "access" meaning "get something"
moritz ShimmerFairy: writing is just a valid an access as reading 12:13
llfourn as far as I understand the proposal is to give `bless` special access to privates not `new`..right?
moritz llfourn: but .new delegates to .bless

llfourn nine: ok! 12:45
azawawi selenium has a firefox IDE addon to record UI actions/assertion. Now with Parse::Selenese grammar (DONE) we could parse selenese commands and convert them into Perl 6 Selenium::WebDriver tests :)
masak I guess the argument that can be made for allowing .new/.bless write access to private attrs is this: the object is not formed yet, or is under construction, so normal expectations on invariants and encapsulation are not in force yet. 12:46
azawawi so you record them, save them as HTML (via Firefox addon) and then convert and run them via Perl 6. 12:47
ShimmerFairy masak: first analogy that pops up in my head is electrical wiring in a house; very much something you need to mess with during construction, but after you're done you do not want to mess with that, least of all by accident :)
pmurias masak: the counter argument would be that if you create the object with stuff that's not part of the part of the public API the expectations will never be in force 12:50
moritz masak: that feels like an excuse. The "can I rename a private attribute without anything breaking?"-test still fails if .new is allowed to write to rpivate attributes
llfourn feels that both behaviours are useful but you need to be able to opt in or out of them 12:52

pmurias nine: it's not
the .new method is part of the public API
12:55 sufrostico joined
ShimmerFairy fwiw, .bless is part of the public API, but I'm sure just about everyone doesn't see it as such :) 12:56
ShimmerFairy guesses .bless would be a 'protected' method, if we had that level of access in P6
pmurias nine: so if you create an object using Foo.new(private_attr=>234) you are exposed to the fact that private_attr exists 12:57
moritz nine: I don't care which API .new uses
nine: I care about whether the default behavior of a public constructor is to allow setting private data 12:58
nine: if we end up with something where that isn't the case, I'm fine with custom .new methods being allowed
... to do whatever they please
pmurias masak: would having a convinient way to just mark some attributes as settable by the constructor solve your problem? 12:59
moritz llfourn: .new is inherited from Mu; submethods aren't inherited

nine moritz: just this morning I tried to turn Instant.from-posix into a constructor that set 2 private attributes. I had to write a very boring private method because the constructor couldn't just initialize them with bless. 13:02
moritz nine: I'm fine with .bless initialzing private attributes, as long as the public API doesn't 13:03
ShimmerFairy moritz: but .bless is part of the public API
m: class A { has $.b }; say A.bless(:b(42));
camelia rakudo-moar 56dbb0: OUTPUT«A.new(b => 42)␤»
llfourn thinks mortiz means default constructor by public API
nine moritz: if we make the default .new set private attributes using named arguments, those named arguments are part of the method's API. Not necessarily internals of your class. One can still change the private attribute's names for example while keeping method new's argument names the same.
masak pmurias: I dunno -- I feel slightly swayed by moritz++' argument right now. 13:04
moritz ShimmerFairy: maybe it shouldn't be

13:05 azawawi left
moritz or maybe it should have a switch to initialize private attributes that requires trust (that is, either called from within the same class, or one that's explicitly trusted) 13:05
ShimmerFairy moritz: the problem is, if .bless was in fact method !bless , then how could subclasses have a .bless to use? We'd need a 'protected' level of access for that, methinks. 13:06

Disallow precompilation of "use lib"

For Perl 6.Christmas, we're going to disallow changing repo's from inside a module. Since we don't have that concept yet, but generally only precomp modules (and no scripts), disallowing precomping is a way to catch this at least at this point in the module development cycle.		 13:32

ugexe mrf: you can use any of the individual rfcs in grammar::http, you just create your grammar and `does Grammar::HTTP::RFCxxxx` to it
the reason the rfcs aren't individual distros is because 7230-7235 all need each other, and all the other grammars are of trivial length that they aren't worth adding external dependency (4647 is 2 lines for instance)

mrf ugexe: I spent time writing them myself becuase I didn't think of looking in Grammer::HTTP for them.
I would likely have looked in Grammer::RFC or the like 14:42

n0tjack |Tux|: I believe that means your panda (and probably Rakudo) are out of date 14:42

|Tux| it is not me: my panda workes like a charm
|Tux| feeds it enough bamboo to keep it satisfied 14:44
n0tjack Well, the guy who has the problem then.
You might ask him to do perl6 --version, and/or panda update
ugexe mrf: right, believe me i considered it enough that the repo was originall called Perl6-IETC--RFC_Grammar--HTTP
mrf ugexe: though I accept that this would add additional dependencies that might be undesirable.
ugexe: why the link to HTTP
n0tjack once saw a panda poop on another panda in the san diego zoo. to all appearances, panda #2 was unfazed. 14:45
ugexe well when i search for something to parse http, the first thing i look for isnt some cryptic rfc
mrf ugexe: I think teh idea I have is more to seperate the Grammars that implement the RFC from the Grammars that use them to implement something specific
ugexe you can't piece together grammars like that very well yet 14:46
thats why all the rfcs are roles in grammar::http
mrf ugexe: indeed. So I would expect a HTTP::Message module that uses a HTTP::Message grammar which does a whole bunch of Grammars.
ugexe and there is a single centralized grammar that doesnt do anything but `does RFCxxx RFCyyy`
i think a better module search would take `provides` into consideration, so searching for rfc7230 would turn up Grammar::HTTP's lib/Grammar/HTTP/RFC7230.pm6 14:47

ugexe yes, thats how http::grammar is setup
ShimmerFairy you can also 'is' a grammar, I don't know if that's acceptable in this case though. 15:05
ugexe not usually, because rfcs have tokens that will conflict 15:06
mrf ugexe: because all rfcs use localised rules? 15:07
15:07 tokuhiro_ joined
ShimmerFairy any reason role G is Grammar isn't acceptable as a composeable Grammar? Unless I've forgotten something grammars are just classes with a default parent of Grammar instead of the more usual one. 15:07
ugexe because the token `time` might mean a different format of timestamp depending on the rfc
15:08 rarara_ joined
mrf ugexe: but shouldn't the tokens be localised to the RFC anyway. 15:08
ugexe no, because the rfcs say stuff like `<.FWS>` that other rfcs use 15:09

n0tjack_ rarara_: I might have gotten that mixed up. But one is a list, the other an array. 15:19
ugexe i dunno, i can write some pretty bad code
rarara_ I agree, but I was thinking that list might make more sense since we use the data immediately in join 15:20
while Array seems to me more suited for storing modifiable things
n0tjack_ that's the general idea, yes

ugexe personally i'd prefer to drop the pointless namespace and just call them `RFCxxx` instead of IETF_Grammar::RFC[\d+ | "::RFC" \d+] 15:28
that way you can mix in a lot of rfcs without huge swaths of `IETF_Grammar::` 15:30

mrf PerlJam: I suspect that its not a large use case but I like to be specifc.
masak 'night, #perl6 15:36
PerlJam btw, why do people put "Grammar" somewhere in the namespace of a grammar? 15:37
masak: good night. sleep well!
I mean, is "Grammar" meant to give a hint as to how the name should be used?
mrf PerlJam: example?
PerlJam you just gave one :) Grammar::PErl6::RFC111 15:38
Foo::Grammar.parse($string)
mrf Grammar gives a namespace for modules that are just Grammars.
PerlJam Why mention that it's a grammar?
mrf: sure, but ... why?
mrf PerlJam: So I can find them. 15:39
ugexe well, grammars will be slower than some string index type stuff
mrf If I want to find a grammar for parsing XML. I would want to look for something like Grammar::XML or some such
ugexe it also suggests you can pass in an action
PerlJam ugexe: could you expand on that please? 15:40
you mean that other classes may have a .parse() method, but they may not take :action ? But if you know it's a Grammar, you know that .parse will take an :aciton ? 15:41
ugexe well to me something with Grammar:: suggests you are meant to work with the match object or can pass in $actions to the parse call. I would expect something like HTTP::Parser to just give me a perl6 object, not a match from a grammar
PerlJam er, I guess it's :actions (I always get that mixed up) 15:42
15:43 spollei joined 15:44 apotheon_ is now known as apotheon
ugexe take for instance this (not in the ecosystem): Perl6-Grammar--XQuery It is useless without any :actions, but it can (used to?) kinda parse it. calling it XQuery would not be correct here 15:45
15:45 apotheon left, apotheon joined
mrf PerlJam: A good example for me is the difference between JSON::Tiny and JSON::Tiny::Grammar. As an end user I would not expect to go anywhere near the ::Grammar module and would only use JSON::Tiny as the interface. In fact the ::Grammar module could be then extracted out for others who wanted to implement JSON parsers 15:47
moritz: as a point is there any worth putting JSON::Tiny::Grammar into the Grammar:: namespace. Assuming its a complete JSON grammar (which it appears to be) other JSON::* implementations could make use of it (With say different action objects) 15:50

ugexe URI bothers me like that. URI.new() doesnt seem like it should be returning a big ol' match object 15:53

mrf: but afaict you can already use the grammar from elsewhere
15:55 loren left 15:56 retupmoca joined
mrf moritz: yeah sure. Just my pigeonholing brain wanting a separation from the Grammars (the definition of something) from the thing that uses that Grammar (the parser) 15:56
moritz mrf: but isn't it separated already? 15:57
mrf I am aware that I could 'panda JSON::Tiny' and then 'use JSON::Tiny::Grammar' but that just seems weird in my brain. Its not a Grammar for JSON Tiny. Its a JSON Grammar.
I would have liked to install Grammar::JSON (or likewise) without installing JSON::Tiny.
RabidGravy well it's the JSON grammar that JSON::Tiny uses
other grammars are possible I guess 15:58
mrf true enough. I think I am just being pedantic 15:59
PerlJam I wouldn't say "pedantic" 16:00
I think you're trying to fit your brain to the world and vice versa.
moritz mrf: you're welcome to write a Grammar::JSON that does a "use JSON::Tiny::Grammar; constant Grammar::JSON = JSON::Tiny::Grammar" :-)
RabidGravy I could see there being some virtue in there being a standalone JSON grammar, nothing precludes taking the best one around and forking it to a separate distribution
PerlJam much the same reason I was asking why people put Grammar in the namespace
mrf See that the URI module has its own Grammar for IETF when it could use Grammar::HTTP to get that
moritz: :D 16:01
moritz: I had one problem then I linked one Grammar to another now I have a recursive problem
16:02 FROGGS joined, yop joined, yop left
RabidGravy PerlJam, I could see a top-level Grammar:: for pure grammars (with no actions or other code) for people to use for their own purposes, but yup 16:03
moritz I think you're idealizing the usefulness of a grammar
mrf RabidGravy++ # Yes this
moritz actions are rather tightly coupled to the structure of a grammar
PerlJam indeed
moritz so code reuse is far from trivial
RabidGravy oh for sure 16:04
PerlJam even with no actions, if you're going to use the grammar for anything, you need to be highly familiar with the rules used within the grammar and their relationships 16:05
mrf PerlJam: true but that can be mitigated by documenting the rules/tokens ect 16:08
RabidGravy mrf, I think at least part of the thing here is, if you want things in the ecosystem at this stage in the game, just do it 16:10
:)
16:11 pmurias left

RabidGravy yeah 16:22
16:22 ^elyse^ left
RabidGravy to be honest the only example I have found where the grammar could be used in a different way than the author intended is in Router::Boost where the basic grammar could be alternatively used in a URI template thingy 16:23
PerlJam Because grammars need to be designed with sharing in mind for that to happen (usually) 16:25
16:25 [Sno] joined
RabidGravy yeah, and I think in that case an eventual design would bend it out of shape from the original purpose 16:26
PerlJam and then readability/maintainability/understandability probably suffer 16:27
mrf I can certainly see pitfalls in sharing of grammars but really want to avoid a situation were every single Email/HTTP/URI module defines the same RFC grammar. Which seems like wasted effort.
RabidGravy on the other hand, and I am rambling here, there may well be things for which a standalone grammar can answer "is this this a valid $foo" when you don't want to do a full parse
mrf, only if it's your effort or effort that would otherwise be doing something else and I think the reasons people make the modules the latter is unlikely 16:30
ugexe grammar::http can be passed actions that turn the parse into a deep data structure, or handle things like closing a socket when it hits certain parts of a header. with rfc grammars the definitions and shareability are mostly solved 16:31
16:32 weihan left 16:33 weihan joined
mrf maybe that is where my blind spot is coming from . The kind of things I am focusing on right now have very stong specifications (RFC's) and define syntaxt used by a huge swath of things I use daily which makes their Utility greater. 16:35
I think in the end I will just need to implement something and see where it breaks.

FROGGS I think there are enough precomp tests to create a new dir for it 17:47
lizmat S11-compunit is fine by me
FROGGS okay
one test would be to ask for precompilation on A.pm, but this will trigger precomp of C.pm and and B.pm 17:48
lizmat indeed...
and the idea is that that would happen transparently
17:48 sufrostico left
lizmat as in: while precompiling A.pm, the "use B" is encountered 17:49
nine I'm adding CompUnit::DependencySpecification
FROGGS another test would be have a lax use statement, do precomp, then add another dist that would have been preferred to a cur, then run the precomped code...
lizmat at that point, precomp of A should be halted, and B should be precomped first
FROGGS lizmat: aye
lizmat then, when B is precomped, precomp of A should continue
FROGGS same should probably happen if the cache of B is invalidated 17:50

kmel nine isn't mojolicious Perl 5?
FROGGS it is 18:21
it will be usable with Inline::Perl5 of course but its interface won't be Perl 6-ish I fear

TimToady m: say [1,;2,;3,].perl

TimToady but again, that's an array, not a subscript
skids m: say :8[1;1,1;1,1,1] 20:48
camelia rakudo-moar 5d83db: OUTPUT«83␤»
n0tjack yeah but notionally the selection of indices along each dimension is itself an array
so having the notation for LoLs and multidim subscripts be similar is sensible
TimToady they don't really map 1:1 though since slicing adds a dimension in subscripting 20:49
n0tjack [1..2;3..4] can be thought of as a LoL or a 2D array slice

n0tjack TimToady: Yeah, J is pretty impenetrable from an outsider's perspective. Not too dissimilar to regexen. But that doesn't bother me. Chinese looks impenetrable to me too, but over a billion people seem to get some use out of it :) 20:58
TimToady: Welll... the RC thing is probably my own personal fault :)

confused_as_usal multi method pairs(Set:D:) 21:01
Could somebody explain what's the colon after Set:D: does 21:02
vendethiel confused_as_usal: defines the invocant (self, or this in other languages)
which means self is a defined Set (as given by Set.new, or set()) 21:03
n0tjack PerlJam: I wonder if that gets me any extra years in Purgatory :)
confused_as_usal I get the defined part which is Set:D
21:04 Begi119 left
confused_as_usal but why there is another ":" after that tacked on 21:04
vendethiel confused_as_usal: because it's not a parameter -- it's a constraint on self
PerlJam confused_as_usal: to say that the first arg is the invocant
21:04 kaare_ left
vendethiel m: $a.foo(); <- $a is what's before said colon 21:04

confused_as_usal so, every method must start with this invocant? 21:07
PerlJam no
confused_as_usal if not, would it then become a class method? 21:08
PerlJam nope
confused_as_usal appreciate if you point me to any doc I can read.. thx 21:09
PerlJam confused_as_usal: methods /may/ list constraints on the invocant as the first parameter
gfldex m: class C { method foo($c where $c ~~ C:){ say 'I\'m fooing!' } }; C.new.foo;
camelia rakudo-moar 5d83db: OUTPUT«I'm fooing!␤»
confused_as_usal so, if unconstrained, there is no need to mention it?
PerlJam confused_as_usal: if you omit the invocant constraint, you still get an invocant, but it's called "self" instead of $whatever-you-define 21:10
confused_as_usal: usually you list the invocant if you want to rename it or constrain it
s/rename/give it an explicit name/
21:11 regreg left
confused_as_usal cool, that makes sense now.. thanks 21:11
PerlJam confused_as_usal: but you can also end up with some weird stuff like class A { }; class B { method m(A:D $self) { } }

nick25 Hi! Why are parentheses kept mandatory around the signature (parameter list) of functions definitions? Couldn't this requirement be relaxed to be in line with other places of the language where parentheses are optional, e.g. w.r.t. if-statements, "pointy blocks", function calls? At first glance, this looks syntactically plausible to me as well: (*) sub add $x, $y { $x + $y; }. Are there technical/syntactical reasons behind this 23:03
requirement?
RabidGravy flussence, I'd go bug on that, I can see why one might want to if I squint at it, but it should require some flag 23:04
grondilu what could I put in $bar so that f is called with no argument? f($test ?? $foo !! $bar) 23:05
