thoughtpolice what exactly is the difference between 'use v6' and 'use v6-alpha'? from the pod, v6 is used for pure perl6 code that is not valid perl5, and v6-alpha is just a perl5 module to implement perl6; is there a real difference? 01:21
01:23 japhb joined
thoughtpolice v6-alpha is a p5-2-p6 compiler front end (experimental) that implements a small fraction of p6 semantics and syntax; does pugs implement more than this, thus the distinction? 01:23
01:23 Caelum joined
japhb pugs does implement more than v6.pm. pugs is p6-on-haskell. v6 is p6-on-p5. mp6/kp6 are p6-on-p6 (ask fglock for all the gory details). And then there's parrot's native perl6 implementation, which is bottom up instead of top down (as pugs more or less is) 01:25
but the line 'use v6;' tells p6 or p5 that you want to speak p6 now. 01:26
thoughtpolice so basically v6-alpha is used when you want perl6, but you may lack pugs since perl5 will just call the module to execute properly?
easy enough; I saw the two use clauses used many places so I didn't exactly know if there was a definitive difference or somesuch 01:27
japhb when you say 'use v6-alpha;' you are actually making use of valid p6 syntax and "just happens to work" p5 syntax to do the right thing no matter which actual executable you use
thoughtpolice IOW, v6.pm is just 'perl on perl action' 01:28
japhb Because pure 'use v6;' under p5 would tell you that your perl is too old. But 'use v6-alpha;' loads v6.pm and starts compiling your p6 code to p5. 01:29
Aankhen`` Hmm, I thought v6-alpha indicated that the code was written using unstable P6 syntax.
japhb Notionally, you're correct.
Aankhen`` Yay. 01:30
thoughtpolice ah. so basically the difference is if you would rather use pugs as your implementation (v6) as opposed to just compiling to p5 (v6-alpha)
japhb But it has to be that way to make p5 not just error out. Happy accident.
Aankhen`` Heh.
japhb thoughtpolice: I suppose you could think of it that way, sure.
thoughtpolice japhb: thanks.
japhb++ 01:31
japhb But I'm sure TimToady or fglock would give you some deeper concept. :-)
thoughtpolice delicious.
japhb: thanks for the distinction; the difference is clear. 01:32
japhb: i'm mainly asking due to the fact I wish to add my little prompt app to examples/, but I simply did not know which would be more appropriate; since I'm more interested in using pugs, I'll just go the 'use v6;' route I suppose. 01:37

lambdabot dduncan said 3m 26s ago: thanks for the S02 update to clarify type/role specific sigil binding
dduncan sure, and sometimes I have counted on backlogging ... but I also think it unreasonable to assume people will as there can be a lot of stuff to wade through 20:18
TimToady maybe we could have a micro tell that just tells you to backlog with a link to the irc logger 20:19
dduncan I only occasionally backlog myself
TimToady I figure if someone stays logged in they intend to backlog, probably
dduncan so that, if your name is mentioned, you are informed?
20:19 pjscott joined
dduncan well I do to an extent ... 20:19
I sleep my computer every night, and don't typically backlog stuff during that time ... however, I open IRC when I wake the computer and keep it up while I'm up, and tend to backlog what happened, but then it doesn't get too old 20:20

when I want to check the other period, there is the web logs 20:21
TimToady when I type dd<tab> and it doesn't autocomplete, I figure you're not on and @tell you
dduncan now I have a question concerning the S02 addition ... 20:22
you said that, eg, @ is for anything that does the Array role, then including some immutable types in the lsit 20:23
TimToady I'm thinking the Array role doesn't provide rw, just the Array class
dduncan I see ... that could be confusing 20:24
TimToady but it might be some other name
dduncan or could "but" or some such be used for an exclusion, to say you just partially compose a role
eg, does Array but ro 20:25
TimToady seems not very monotonic to allow removals
dduncan what is better, when if someone tries to mutate a Seq, that this be caught at compile time as no-such-method or a runtime exception
such as when someone mutates a parameter which is a mutable type but marked readonly 20:26
is a runtime exception, at least now
moritz if it's possible error detection at compile time is always preferable
TimToady well, it's potentially a compile-time error if deducable 20:27
"error: this will certainly fail at run time" :)
dduncan yes ... so in the general case it is runtime, but also compile time in limited cases where we can determine
moritz dduncan: I think that applies to all but syntax errors (which are always at compile time) 20:28
dduncan yes
TimToady but yes, this comes back to the same question of whether mutability is really a role
in the abstract, a mutable object is always just a container for the current immutable value 20:29
dduncan as roles are currently defined, to consist of a set of methods, I would say mutability is not a role
I agree
TimToady however, if you implement it that way, it can be very slow 20:30
well, I need to wander off, but I'll think about it some 20:31
moritz why does this smell like haskell?
;-) 20:32
TimToady perhaps because I was thinking of haskell when I said it?
dduncan conceptually values and containers are 2 completely different things
fyi, my database language tends to emphasize that
TimToady I noticed... :)
20:33 justatheory joined
dduncan while a language can provide the appearance of mutation, it is just a shorthand for the concept of deriving a new value from another one with a small difference ... and could be implemented that way behind the scenes ... but officially it is a new value 20:33
TimToady well, that is the FP view. the OO view is that a container is a stateful object, not just a reference 20:34
but the two views are duals of each other 20:35
anyway, vamoosification &
dduncan in the terminology of my language, what perl 6 calls a view, I call a "possible representation"
s/view/role/ 20:36
mind you, possreps only apply to "scalar" types ... which are analagous to objects with just private attributes
collection types that are transparent do not have possreps, just a single representation 20:37
this is all user-pov of course ... my language doesn't dictate implementation, only what the users see 20:38
as afaik most/all languages do
dduncan back to work

okay

can you summarize your view of a System Analysis (as you said would be good to do)
AudreyT
GTalk
12:10
ok.
12:12
it's really very simple
12:12
I'd like to quantify the problem definition more than the casual descriptions you gave me about the old system 21:06
12:12
i.e. exactly _how_ it makes your life miserable
12:13
in measurable terms
12:13
then after that, I'd like to talk about requirements -- external ones
12:13
that does not involve any technical details such as qpsmtpd or danga

GTalk
12:13
yep

GTalk
12:14
but rather things that must happen, and how you expect to solve the things in the problem definition with those things-if-they-happen

moritz diakopter: could you please nopaste that?
diakopter NOOO
sorry :(
diakopter begs forgiveness from all
moritz: it was an accident
didn't mean to paste at all. 21:07
moritz diakopter: ok
diakopter requests that it be purged from your log, also :)
moritz diakopter: ok, I'll do it 21:08
diakopter moritz: thanks. how embarassing for me. thank you again.

renormalist where do I fix typos in the synopses? In pugs/docs/Perl6/Spec/*.pod? Are these the files that are used for perlcabal.org/syn/? 22:16
lambdabot Title: Official Perl 6 Documentation
moritz renormalist: I'm not quite sure... they live in a different repository, but are somehow synced with the ones in pugs/docs/Perl6/Spec... 22:17
renormalist: easiest way is to /msg, @tell or mail TimToady 22:18
renormalist moritz: hm, it's just a missing newline that breaks an =item list. I don't want to spam someone with minor stuff. I fix it in pugs and wait what happens. :-) 22:19
moritz ok ;) 22:20
renormalist ah, they aren't in pugs, just sync'd from somewhere :-) now I know ...
@tell TimToady S11/Modules misses a newline at 249 which breaks the following =over/=item list 22:22

dduncan renormalist, it is a limited group of people that can update the synopsis, so you have to ask them to do it, in general ... usually Larry 22:41

moritz putty-- ;-) 22:56
offby1 *gasp* 22:57
I _love_ PuTTY
what did it do wrong?
Jmax i've had that happen so many times
i just set putty to a different mode (right click == menu, not paste)
offby1 accidental paste? _All_ terminal programs that I know of allow that
meppl good night
Jmax Settings -> Window -> Selection 22:58
you can still accidentally mispaste, it's just one more step to do so :)
moritz offby1: usually when you paste more than $n lines, irssi asks you to confirm it... 22:59
offby1: so if diakopter says that putty is to blame, I assume that it sends the past line by line, so that the warning didn't work 23:00
diakopter Jmax: thanks; good point
offby1 moritz: hmm. 23:03
moritz offby1: perhaps that's a premature conclusion ;) 23:05
Jmax you're welcome
offby1 you think "hmm" is a premature conclusion? I assure you, I pondered long and hard before coming up with that.

moritz does lambdabot ask google germany?
renormalist Google knows who asks because they read this irc log real time and know what you want before you do :-) 23:12
moritz renormalist: that would be funny if it wasn't so close to the truth :( 23:13
renormalist only way to escape is to tell lambdabot commands in Perl6 because Google is still Perl5

renormalist moritz: collecting every public information isn't bad by itself as long as it's really public. It's just unimaginable for us poor humans that some thing really sees all the information as a whole. We are just confused because we thought "public" would mean just the daily reallive "a bit public" for the neighborhood not "that really public" as google makes it. Some day google will just explode once they forget to exclude searching in itself 23:24
