rngoodn I have not used perl6 yet, but am constantly trying out new languages and am now somewhat interested in perl6. I have been googling around and one thing I am worried about before putting any time into learning the language is it's speed. I did a quick test and calculating 20 turns of hanoi took 41 seconds on perl 6... same task took 0.8 secs in Julia (another "new" language I am playing with). I then tried 30 turns and gave up 02:49
waiting after 1300 seconds... this finishes in 7 secs in Julia. I have read that perl6 was released to be stable/working, but not optimized right now. What level of performance is perl6 targeting for the future? Python speeds? Java or C speeds? Or is it reasonable to believe it will always be very slow?
02:49 mcmillhj joined
AlexDaniel rngoodn: hello o/ 02:52
rngoodn: what rakudo version are you using?
rngoodn 2017.07
AlexDaniel okay 02:53
rngoodn: “Or is it reasonable to believe it will always be very slow?” – here's the progress so far: tux.nl/Talks/CSV6/speed4.html
rngoodn: this graph does not necessarily represent performance for typical perl 6 program, but it is still pretty accurate
02:54 mcmillhj left
AlexDaniel rngoodn: people often look at perl5 when comparing performance, so often times we too set the goal to get as fast as perl5 if not faster 02:56
rngoodn: that's not easy, but we're moving into the right direction, as you can see :) 02:57
rngoodn: for some people it is fast enough today, but on average it is still slow 02:58
rngoodn: that said, if you have some particular code, you can sometimes make it faster by doing some easy tricks 02:59
e.g. native ints come to mind
or maybe you can parallelize something? Depending on the job, it may improve things 03:00
rngoodn Ok. Thanks much for the info. I am not a perl5 user, but in general perl5 performance is in the realm of python and the dynamic interpreted languages right? I also understand that speed is not anything.. I am a fan of common lisp and somewhat of python and enjoy using a very powerful high level language that is not necessarily "fast".
03:00 mcmillhj joined
AlexDaniel rngoodn: yeah, you're right 03:00
rngoodn anything = everything*
AlexDaniel rngoodn: though python startup time is not as fast as perl5's :)
03:01 mr-foobar left
AlexDaniel rngoodn: short answer: yeah, sometimes it is slow. Working on it :) 03:02
03:02 mr-foobar joined
AlexDaniel I wonder if benchable can generate a graph of startup time if you just give it say 42 03:03
may not work, but let's try…
benchable6: say 42
benchable6 AlexDaniel, ¦say: «Cannot find this revision (did you mean “all”?)»
AlexDaniel benchable6: releases say 42
benchable6 AlexDaniel, starting to benchmark the 23 given commits
AlexDaniel, benchmarked the given commits, now zooming in on performance differences 03:04

AlexDaniel benchable6: releases say 42 # I'm guessing that's just noise 03:04
benchable6 AlexDaniel, starting to benchmark the 23 given commits
perlawhirl rngoodn: what hanoi code are you running? is it the one on RosettaCode? 03:05
rngoodn I am also a little worried that I don't find as many resources/articles/videos online for perl6 compared to other "new" languages. If it had been "1.0" since 2015 what is the reason for this? Are there any big projects/companies using perl6? Are many people still holding out using perl6 for some reason?
benchable6 AlexDaniel, benchmarked the given commits, now zooming in on performance differences
AlexDaniel, gist.github.com/fca6f434da23cc2a84...6a017595b5
AlexDaniel yep, noise
rngoodn: we got a bunch of books this year: perl6book.com/ 03:06
03:07 adu left
AlexDaniel rngoodn: as for articles… maybe you can help by blogging about it :) 03:07
perlawhirl the Hanoi sample on RosettaCode uses a Junction as a subset type constraint. simply using Int or no contraint should make things run at least twice as fast, but still not as fast python/perl5 03:08
AlexDaniel perlawhirl: that's a very good point 03:09
rngoodn pearlawhirl: It was on the wikipedia page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_6 .. close to the bottom. I noticed it and since I already have hanoi written up in a few languages I figures it would be a neat little test before diving into the language. Let me know it looks like a bad example for hanoi though.
perlawhirl *
perlawhirl rngoodn: ok, that one should be faster than the one from RosettaCode. 03:10
rngoodn Thank for answering all my questions everyone. You all have been very friendly. 03:12
perlawhirl Ultimately, Perl 6 is slower at some tasks compared to other languages... for some select tasks, it may be quicker. Time will tell how that changes, but bear in my that python and perl have been out since the 80's, and Perl 6 has been out for a few years
AlexDaniel rngoodn: can you try it without multi dispatch? 03:14
rngoodn: sub hanoi($n, $a = 'A', $b = 'B', $c = 'C') { return unless $n; … 03:15
this is about 5 times faster here 03:18
03:18 raschipi joined
rngoodn AlexDaniel: Sure I can. I literally know no p6 though so I can't modify the code... I assume drip the "multi"... and add the base case... not familiar with your "return unless $n;" Can I use an equivalent to "if n > 0" for the base case? 03:19
drip=drop*
03:19 mcmillhj joined
AlexDaniel rngoodn: correct. Something like this: gist.github.com/AlexDaniel/c1db30f...dfb6f70bd9 03:20
rngoodn AlexDaniel: Wow! 2.7 secs. Much faster. 03:22
AlexDaniel rngoodn: maybe also this shave off another 0.1s :) gist.github.com/AlexDaniel/ed05d09...3ddea5dad4
rngoodn for 20 steps without printing to std out... same test that took 41 secs with "multi" 03:23
AlexDaniel maybe $n > 0 would be more correct
rngoodn 2.33 for that one. Nice. 03:24
03:24 mcmillhj left
perlawhirl AlexDaniel: now slash your vars :D it will shave a little more off 03:25
AlexDaniel perlawhirl: I know another trick also…
rngoodn: try this: sub hanoi(int $n 03:26
perlawhirl rngoodn: not all Perl6 vars require a sigil, you can to: my \x = 5; print x; 03:27
these variables are able to be better optimised, so can be a little faster 03:28
gist.github.com/0racle/de5a1b39753...924cd96ebe
AlexDaniel perlawhirl: this does nothing here
perlawhirl that gist runs in about 1.4 seconds running on a linux vm on my crappy work laptop 03:29
printing to the terminal blows out the time, but most of that is IO buffering
AlexDaniel perlpilot: oh, actually, yes it does
perlpilot: sorry
perlawhirl: ^
perlawhirl im perlawhirl... but i know who you're talking to :D I should just go by orac1e like everwhere else :)
03:30 mr-foobar left
rngoodn 0.02 seconds with the type declaration. That is impressive. Exact same speed as my common lisp code for hanoi at 20 rings. 03:31
03:31 mr-foobar joined
AlexDaniel does it produce the same output though? 03:31
rngoodn ah just a sec haha... that was an error... let me try it again
AlexDaniel should be faster than 2.33, maybe :) 03:32
rngoodn 1.07 seconds
AlexDaniel :o 03:33
perlawhirl rngoodn: the point is, currently sometimes to get fast performance in Perl 6, you have to write things in a less obvious way. the hope is that with enough time spent optimising, the obvious code can be made almost as fast
rngoodn still impressive that we have come from 41s -> 1s with small tweaks.
AlexDaniel we didn't make it less readable
In fact… maybe it's even more readable now… 03:34

rngoodn This is the intermediate language for the compiler right?
AlexDaniel rngoodn: yep
rngoodn: I updated the code, try the latest version gist.github.com/AlexDaniel/c314002...ad79b67428
rngoodn 0.91secs 03:42
AlexDaniel hm, interesting. It was more impressive here 03:43
I also thought that “nqp::if($n, …” can improve thing, but it doesn't 03:44
rngoodn: anyway, we can probably continue this for hours… :)
rngoodn AlexDaniel: Yeah. It was a fun experiment. Good to know that you can write code quick to prototype and then start typing things and what not to make it more performant within the same language. A sign that maybe the compiler can make some of these optimizations one day in the future too. 03:48
03:50 cuonglm joined
AlexDaniel rngoodn: correct 03:50
raschipi rngoodn: Also, it's really easy to do a quick prototype in Perl6 and then call into a C program after profiling. Perl6 has a ridiculously easy-to-use FFI. 03:53

05:25 HoboWithAShotgun joined
HoboWithAShotgun is this guy (www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1199629) correct in saying "1.say" is some clever boxing or is a "1" actually a "real" object akin to a user defined class 05:27
geekosaur m: say 1.WHAT 05:28
camelia (Int)
05:29 mcmillhj joined
geekosaur rakudo's not quite that clever yet to do nice auto(un)boxing, sadly. iirc it gets unboxed if passed to something that wants an unboxed int 05:30
HoboWithAShotgun I know. But that doesn't really you if there is some clever thing the parser does to pretend 1 to be an object but internally it is a primitive
s/really/really tell/
05:31 mr-foobar left 05:32 mr-foobar joined 05:37 mcmillhj left
timotimo it's boxing, but i wouldn't necessarily call it clever 05:42
though tbh i'm not sure how exactly it's implemented
geekosaur I think it just boxes literals and then unboxes if something wants unboxed 05:44
timotimo at the compiler level it has a cool thing for literals called "Want"
geekosaur some of the past weird issues with unboxing and binding seemed to imply that
timotimo a 1 would be put into the AST as a QAST::Want with three children: an Int object, "Ii", and a native integer value 05:45
and later stages of the compiler can figure out if a native int can be used properly and throw away the boxed integer object

El_Che jnthn: rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=132114 suggests you fixed the failing test on travis. However, I am building with moarvm 2017.09.1 on travis and it stills fails. Only the fedora 25 container while fedora 26, ubuntu *, debian * and centos 7 build fine 19:07
jnthn: travis-ci.org/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/jobs/277273232 19:08
I just restated the job as the bug suggest it's a random fail. So far it fails 2 out of 2
jnthn El_Che: Was fixed since the release 19:10
El_Che jnthn: then I am hitting something else since I use moarvm .1
jnthn .1 didn't have the fix, I meant 19:11
I fixed it yesterday or something
The test has been vulnerable to that failure since it was added some months ago, though.
El_Che Ah ok. Let's see if I get 3 out of 3
running now
will you publish a .2? 19:12
with the fix I mean?
jnthn No
El_Che ok
jnthn The problem has been in like 3-4 previous releases
El_Che first time I hit it and I build a lot 19:13
jnthn In that, the bug was in the code that was added when that test was also added
El_Che I build 9 pkgs at the time (4 OS, different x64 OS releases + 386 for ubuntu) 19:14
jnthn It's possible that something else made it more likely to appear, though
Of note, native calling got faster
El_Che I wonder why only fedora 25 has the problem in my setup 19:15
while 26 doesn't
jnthn For me it failed something like 1 time in 20
Or less
On a loaded system it was more like 1 time in 5
El_Che 2 out of 2 is of course not really representative
but 2 out of 2 was for each OS 19:16

jnthn Got some stuff to do afk for the next while but github.com/jnthn/p6-io-socket-asyn...L.pm6#L291 is where to look in the code
For the default ciphers 20:00
El_Che wow. Even when building on my laptop, the one that fails is fedora 25 while the rest builds fine. Weird bug
timotimo oh, is this about the cro https client?
sjn timotimo: no, I'm setting up a service with cro 20:01
in fact, I'm trying the default service that cro stub creates
timotimo wow, and cro quits with that error, that looks a bit like an oversight :) 20:02

weabot Is there a way to just pass @argv as a variable whose modifications are kept from lisp_append_args sort of like a pointer? Instead of doing this: @argv = append_args(@argv, $0); 21:27
21:27 raschipi joined
weabot this is thread specific and too temporary to be worth defining as a global variable 21:27

weabot wait
is all I've ever believed wrong? do functions that are passed arrays modify them? 21:41
Zoffix yup 21:42
Same with any other object. 21:43
weabot is that if they don't have any return values or..?
Zoffix At all times
weabot how have I written so much perl 6 without knowing this, and without screwing things up? 21:44
holy hell
teatime Zoffix: so when would you have to use 'is rw' in signature?
21:45 troys joined
Zoffix weabot: basically a function has no control over which methods you can call on the passed argument; it doesn't restrict them. So if you call methods like appending stuff or some other method that mutates the passed object, it's not gonna stop you and it'll mutate the original object that was passed. It doesn't implicitly clone it 21:45
weabot I've written 952 lines of code under the assumption that functions don't modify their arguments
I haven't modified an argument that I've reused in a single subroutine of that code 21:46
21:46 Ven`` left
weabot that's impressive 21:46
Zoffix teatime: when you want the callee to give you a writeable container
teatime weabot: 1000 lines isn't so much, and also if you're like me you probably avoid modifying arguments even when the language assures them to be locals just for readability
timotimo teatime: if you want to re-assign to a scalar that got passed to your sub, that's when "is rw" can let you change stuff on the outside
weabot teatime yeah, it's just mind-blowing to me 21:47
Zoffix weabot: for FWIW, even Damian Conway made that mistake and said arrays won't modified during a talk I attended :)
So don't feel bad
weabot I mean I do avoid modifying arguments usually
Zoffix teatime: basically "is rw" just asks that the routine could write to the container that's given as an argument. It says nothing about immutability of the passed object 21:48
teatime Zoffix / timotimo : gotcha, I think I follow.
El_Che New Linux packages: github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/releas.../2017.09.1 21:49
Zoffix \o/
El_Che++
teatime so if you 'is rw' a @-sigil'd argument, you can reassign a different Array to the @variable in the calling scope?
or is it just for $scalars
actually you don't really have to answer, I don't need to know / can go read instead 21:50
geekosaur or just try it, we do have a bot you know :p

Ulti any reason why iterating through a file with encoding utf8-c8 takes 1m23s latin-1 takes 13s and default encoding is 16s? 22:22
my expectation was utf8-c8 would be less expensive than the default was that wrong?
timotimo there's a fast-path in the decoder for utf8, probably none for utf8-c8 22:24
22:25 cognominal joined
yoleaux Zoffix: fix make xtest on docs 22:25
jnthn utf8-c8 is a lot more expensive, because it's got to keep track of a bunch more 22:28
Not only to be able to recover and produce synthetics on invalid bytes, but also to be able to cope with things that aren't in NFC 22:29
Zoffix yoleaux: I wanted to relax, bruh
Zoffix hopes there are few failures
jnthn Zoffix: I know that feeling :) 22:30
Ulti jnthn: are all the same sort of promises made about string ops/methods as with the normalised strings?
so stuff like length is based on graphemes?
jnthn With utf8-c8?
Ulti yeah
jnthn What are you using it for?
Ulti im not, just curious 22:31
jnthn If you feed it text in NFD, then it will actually store a synthetic grapheme per byte that makes that up, iirc
Ulti given that feels a bit like an impossible task
ok
jnthn The point of it is to let people pretend a filename is a Str
And appending '.bak' to it and feed it back to the OS and get the Right Thing happening 22:32
It's a pretty bad idea to use it for general input
22:32 headcase joined
Ulti all of this was also just kicked off by Zoffix mentioning perf on reddit :3 22:33
22:33 headcase left
jnthn Yeah, normal utf8 decoding is fairly well optimized 22:33
Ulti I should probably write more stuff down but I think its been a whole number factor imporvement since last I checked
about 10x off of perl5 hacktastic strings that everyone secretly really wants >:P 22:34
if you made perl5 do exactly the same job it must be getting close now
jnthn Yes, for sufficiently large files to overcome the startup/optimizer time, `for $fh.lines { ... }` typically comes out ahead of Perl 5 if doing utf-8 decoding these days. 22:35
22:35 headcase joined
jnthn There's output buffering now too, so output is within a factor of about 1.2x or so 22:35
(Again, assuming utf8-8 encoding) 22:36
Ulti the real issue in the world is that bioinformatics uses ascii bytes for something that can be 2-3bit encoded 22:37
jnthn Yeah, I guess for bioinformatics folks, it's ASCII performance (or "I don't care" performance :-)) that really matters. 22:39
Ulti yeah :( plus everything is gzipped all the time everywhere because of the stupid encoding and DNA itself having lots of runs 22:40
raschipi Can Perl6 start using an ASCII fast path and only turn on the utf-8 path when it encounters a byte bigger than 127? 22:41
teatime Ulti: at least gzip is efficient for streaming
Ulti there is a bias in which letters of DNA have runs too... so you'd hope in a sane world youd pick the highest or lowest byte value for those to make it more compressable (obviously not)
teatime apart from they gzip small chunks and put them end to end 22:42
jnthn raschipi: It's largely already doing that, except NFG means you gotta look out for \r too
Ulti the idea being its then easy to jump in and index
but bzip2 already has that block concept built in :/ 22:43
raschipi Right, isn't that what dealing with DNA needs for performance?
Ulti basically 22:44
Im fairly sure its like 2x faster since I last checked this I could have sworn it was about 30s for a 1GB file
22:45 pecastro left
Ulti not DNA though just a giant CSV where 50% of it is DNA sequence which shouldnt matter one way or the other 22:45
jnthn Ulti: I did a bunch of work on I/O performance and got at least a factor of 2 on the benchmark I was looking at, so it's entirely possible :) 22:46
Ulti thats fairly awesome jnthn++ 22:47
I think the last time was around when Zoffix had done a bunch of work
lots of the mini "benchmarks" im doing you see Rakudo between ruby and perl5 quite often 22:48
Zoffix It might've been right after it. jnthn++ did the work. The only perf improvements I did was for Windows IO::Specs
raschipi Ulti: But you're making them do the same work as Perl6 is doing? 22:49
jnthn Ulti: Hm, that's not such a bad place to be. :-)
Especially when I know we've more to win yet :)
Ulti raschipi nope :)
jnthn It's just that the opts gradually get scarier. :-) 22:50
Ulti its probably worth doing a real like for like comparisson to other languages... having slower strings but the fastest most complete unicode implementation is surely a massive win for the world 22:51
and if "slower" is still apreciably as fast or faster than other popular languages used to process strings regularly its hardly a big deal 22:52
blog.honeybadger.io/ruby_unicode_normalization/ hmmmmm 22:56
weabot can I use variables in s/ replace? 22:57
like s/$var1/$var2/
Zoffix weabot: yes, what you show works
weabot thank you
timotimo hah, looks like "i can't not normalize my strings :(" is a luxury-problem compared to "i'd have to normalize strings all the damn time or things everywhere mess up"
Zoffix wamba[m]: $var1 gets interpreted as text though, not regex. use s/<$var1>/$var2/; to make it interpret it as a regex 22:58
Ulti I wonder if there is like the perfect unicode brown note type string that just breaks the world if you use it as input on websites
weabot Zoffix $var2 won't be interpreted as text?
22:58 skids left
raschipi weabot: Tha'ts what the $ is for. 22:59
weabot yeah I just assumed both are regex since it's all between //
22:59 grondilu left, grondilu joined
jnthn Only the stuff between the first two are parsed as regex 23:00
The others are parsed like a quoted string
teatime weabot: the s/pattern/replacement/ operation takes a string for replacement in every language.
weabot alright
teatime weabot: plus usually some special syntax like \1 for backreferences
Ulti timotimo: yeah I think so to for the vast majority of software written today it makes complete sense to normalise all the things
weabot thank you :)
timotimo Ulti: until timo comes along and wants to write a json parser ;) 23:01
"but json is so simple!" i hear you say
Ulti I think almost everyone who has done international web stuff comes to regret their life choices when a blend of your web app JS and the database conspire to literally fart line noise to the user
timotimo no, nobody says that. everybody knows nowadays
teatime Zoffix: I'm curious how /<$var>/ and /<{$var}>/ differ
Ulti timotimo: well simpler than XML :P 23:02
jnthn teatime: iirc they're the same semantics, but the second will burn a tad more CPU cycles 23:03
<$var> looks up a variable and treats it as regex code to compile and run
Zoffix docs make xtext: All tests successful. 23:04
jnthn <{$var}> runs a block and treats its result as regex code, but if the block just looks up a variable then it's the same thing
teatime there was a previous discussion, seems like <$var> did something weird when used multiple times ...
23:04 ruoso___ left
jnthn Hmm 23:05
Zoffix weabot: there're .subst and .subst-mutate methods. They do the same thing as S/// and s///, but perhaps will be easier to understand how they work
jnthn Maybe I remember wrong then. It's either a long time since I implemented that feature, or a long time since I read the implementation of that feature. Long enough that I can't recall which I did. :-)
23:05 adu joined 23:06 adu left
weabot Zoffix I understand better now, thanks, just needed some clarifications 23:06
basically it replaces every match from the first field with the string from the second
teatime jnthn: I doubt it, I have a bad memory
Zoffix weabot: not every, just the first. You need to use s:g/// to replace every
There's an article on S///, BTW: rakudo.party/post/Perl-6-S---Subst...n-Operator 23:07
weabot right
teatime jnthn: however, both <$var> and <{$var}> are difficult to find documentation on, e.g. docs.perl6.org/language/regexes does not mention "interpolation" or the string "<$" ... maybe worth a ticket?
jnthn teatime: I'd say so
teatime aside: having ^ and $ match begin/end-of-*string* + providing ^^ and $$ is a thing of beauty 23:09
