sjohnson he might have saved about 25 bucks 00:00
oops, i mean i got the 3rd edition
DanielC The book is $33 at amazon
sjohnson yeah that is very affordable
DanielC I think it is.
sjohnson my boss works at a bookstore, so i highly doubt he'll order from amazon
but i would have
i bought my book on Ruby from amazon for really cheap, but the style of writing is impossible 00:01
i eventually had to put it down as i found David Flanagan's writing style extremely frustrating
as opposed to the camel book
and then i found out about Perl 6 00:02
and "threw in the towel" with Ruby
DanielC Ruby is a very nice language, and I think it's good to learn multiple languages. Later on, you should consider giving Ruby another try.
Don't let a bad book put you off from a good language. 00:03
sjohnson k cool
that's good advice
DanielC www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/ruby/0.3/ 00:04
This is something I wrote many years ago. It's about an older version of Ruby.
sjohnson thanks

pmurias masak: how can i restore changes lost after a hard reset (not counting retyping them)? 09:59
pmurias also learnt what the --hard option does the hard way 10:00
masak pmurias: I don't really know. I just know that the commit still exists until the next GC run.
if you know the SHA1 hash of the commit, it's easy.
just cherry-pick it back in.
if not, hunting through the objects in .git/ would be a possibly time-consuming last resort... 10:01
but I bet there's a better way.
masak heads over to #git to ask
ah! found the answer myself! :) 10:10

masak by the way, I'm glad C<rotate> went from being in-place to returning a new array. my initial reaction on the first spec addition was that it should. :) 10:18

DanielC mberends!
Good to see you.
How do you like JSON?
mberends likewise, you're roaring through the file formats! 11:35
DanielC I'm making progress, though not always through direct path.
I assume you've seen my latest changes? 11:36
mberends yes! like it! JSON is nice. it would be interesting to survey the current "popularity" of the various formats in terms of how often they are currently used in Rakudo, Parrot and Pugs. I think we may end up with serialize() and deserialize() functions that takes a subroutine reference to select an emitter/parser option. 11:40
11:41 pmurias left
mberends yeah, it's not always a direct path ;) 11:41
DanielC I like JSON. The only reason I didn't go for it earlier is that I didn't want to write a parser for it. But viklund mentioned that Parrot already has a JSON <-> Parrot parser.
module-meta.pir has most of the json functions we need. The only thing I haven't figured out is how we are going to get the byte offset "Foo::Bar" inside the json file. 11:43
But we can already read a json subset from a file, parse it, and convert back to json. 11:44
mberends It would be a great help if the index that we build (in a parrot hash for example) contains not only the offset in the metadata file, but also the length in bytes. That way we could separate the file IO from the parsing/emitting, they become string ops. 11:45
in a test case, could you try to build a full Parrot data structure with all the fields that we are proposing, and verify the conversions to and from? 11:46
DanielC I have done that but visually. I wasn't sure how to write a test for that. 11:47
The JSON output is not going to come in any predictable order.
mberends order is np. removals are draining all my tuits, but in some pseudo-pir: 11:48
DanielC So I wasn't sure how to check that two json strings are equivalent, or that two parrot objects are equivalent. 11:49
mberends the short answer: is_deeply
two strings, just: is( have, want, "test description" ) 11:56
DanielC Right. That's now what I did?
mberends two data structures: is_deeply( have, want, 'deep structure comparison' ) according to Synopsis of parrot/runtime/parrot/library/Test/More.pir 11:58
DanielC ah
So you can do is_deeply( $P0, $P1, "test deep structures") ? 11:59
mberends yes. if it follows the Perl 5 standard, it should recurse the nested contents, comparing all.
DanielC cool
seems to work 12:00
mberends extra cool. going afk for lunch, bbiab & 12:01

I am hunting a really weird Parrot bug.
pastebin.com/m428594f4
Go to #parrot to join the fun.
mberends no tuits for a few days - but it's normal for hash keys to switch order 13:04
13:05 amoc left
DanielC mberends: You don't understand, is_deeply is not comparing $P0["a"] with $P1["a"] 13:06
The Parrot guys just figured out that is_deeply doesn't support hashes. 13:07
mberends gah, that's a pity. The original is_deeply in Perl 5 took a lot of debugging as well for corner cases. 13:08
DanielC We'll have to forget about using is_deeply for the time being.
mberends :(
DanielC The Parrot guys said they'd file a ticket.
I mean, "hashes" are not much of a corner case. They are a very important data structure. 13:09
mberends they're probably glad you discovered the bug :)
DanielC :)
Could have been worse... It could have been a bug in json. 13:12
Fortunately, json seems to work well.
mberends ok, then we need to substitute many string comparisons for the single is_deeply(). In Perl we could AND them together in a single ok() test, but in PIR we each member of the data structure must be tested separately. 13:13
s/PIR we/PIR/
13:17 Jedai joined
DanielC I think I know how we can get the byte offset and length of the json data. 13:17
Get the json string for each group of modules separately.
So we can compute the length of each separately.
Then just catenate them together. Prepend { "version": "0.1", "datafile": "modules.data", "groups": [ ... and append ] } at the end. 13:18
13:18 pmurias joined
DanielC Then we can just compute the offsets. 13:18
13:18 skids_ joined
mberends sounds good. string processing is much faster than file IO. 13:18
DanielC Oh, and put commas in between... but you get the idea.
mberends yes
DanielC This means that every time we install a new module we have to rewrite the entire metadata and the entire index. 13:19
But I figure that's ok. People install modules infrequently. 13:20
mberends yes, it's hard to avoid that without ugly file formats
it's definitely ok
DanielC Expensive writes + fast reads = good compromise
Ok, I'll be afk for a while. 13:21

13:47 rjh joined 13:59 simcop2387 joined
Infinoid (corner cases) I'd love additional eyeballs on that sort of thing. I'm pretty sure that it won't successfully compare values which are instances of the Undef class, for example 14:01
And if Undef is what you get if you do a lookup on a hash which doesn't contain the key you provide, the simple key-count check is insufficient and it will also need a followup check to make sure hash2 doesn't contain anything missing from hash1 14:03
My brain hurts from generating a sentence that long, with grammar that bad. I'm gonna go sit in the corner now.

perl7 what was the first: egg or hen? 16:08
skids_ The egg, of course. 16:09
(because you did not specify the species of the egg)
perl7 will be perl6 released this year? 16:11

lollan hi guys, I usally use perl 5, even tough I like it I'd like to use perl 6, I know it's not completly over but I was wondering if I could talk with some people who use it in here. Does somebody have 5 minutes ? 16:43
skids_ yep, fire away
lollan thanks skids_ first (I know it sounds silly) is it stable enough for me to write code ? 16:46
DanielC I wouldn't use it in "production" but you can certainly use it for non-critical applications.
skids_ There are sections of the spec that are implemented and stable. There are other places where there is flux. It depends on what you want to do.
Like, what are some of the applications you would target? 16:47
DanielC lollan: There is already a wiki and a board game written in Perl 6.
lollan ok ok
Well skids_ I wanted to use perl6 as a script engine for some game I'm coding 16:48
DanielC It's slow right now, so you can't use it for anything performance critical.
skids_ lollan: that would involve a lot of concurrency? 16:49
lollan skids_, It can but I don't plan to, why is it a problem ?
16:49 Chillance joined
skids_ Concurrency other than coroutines is really not specced yet, and even coroutines are not implemented yet. 16:50
lollan Ok the slow thing will be a problem for me. I see that there are many implementation of perl6, I mean the specification is the same but I see several engine to run it like pugs, parrot or SMOP.
skids_, so basically I should not go into parrallel impletation
skids_ Yes, right now what's working best is the class system. 16:51
So projects that use complex classes and typing will be the best fit.
lollan about the many implementation of perl6, what is that ? and which one does people prefer these days ?
skids_, from what you say it seems like it is still in its early days 16:52
the class system is one of the fundamental of any languages no ?
skids_ rakudo is the leader, SMOP is actively developed. Elf is at a transition phase so I don't know quite what's up with it. Pugs is old and not developed much anymore.
lollan DanielC, what do you use perl6 for ?
Ok, it's a bit sad for pugs I do find haskell efficient ^^. What's Elf ? 16:53
DanielC lollan: I only use Perl 6 to test Perl 6.
skids_ Yes, the class system is very fundamental. Perl6's is really extremely complex/powerful, though, so even just having that working is a major thing.
lollan skids_, ok
DanielC lollan: But I am writing very non-trivial programs with Perl 6. 16:54
skids_ parsers are another good use, since the regexp stuff works OK.
lollan DanielC, ok
DanielC parsers work great.
The Perl 6 grammar system is really cool.
lollan what do you mean by grammar system ? 16:55
skids_ regexps are fully classed now.
DanielC The Perl 5 regexes have been extended. Now you can write entire grammars.
16:55 A-Tech left
DanielC The grammar for Perl 6 is itself written in Perl 6. 16:56
lollan DanielC, that sounds like something efficient
DanielC Rakudo uses Perl 6 grammars to parse Perl 6. That should give you an idea of how powerful it is.
lollan so the core of perl6 is not in C anymore ?
DanielC nope!
self-hosting
daniel.carrera.bz/2009/06/rpn-calcu...in-perl-6/
That post is an introduction to Perl 6 grammar. 16:57
lollan cheers DanielC
DanielC You get to build a cool RPN calculator with Perl 6.
skids_ well, there's some C, for basic data structures.
16:58 clug joined
DanielC very little I think. 16:58
lollan yes for data structure I don't think it's completly avoidable
Rakudo is another perl6 implementation ?
DanielC yes
It is probably the most advanced one.
It is built on Parrot.
lollan ok why so many implementation of perl6 ?
DanielC Parrot + Perl 6
clug Perl6 should have a way to change request variables into arrays like php does with $_GET and $_POST
lollan clug, the old CGI system is dead then ? (not a bad news) 16:59
DanielC lollan: You see, Perl 6 is a specification now, just like C and C++. There are many C compilers right? Anyone who wants can write a Perl 6 compiler. As long as they pass the test suite, it can be called Perl 6.
skids_ svn.pugscode.org/pugs/src/perl6/STD.pm <-- the entire perl6 grammar in perl6, a.k.a. Larry's playground
lollan DanielC, I didn't see that like that, it's pretty efficient (and cool) ! 17:00
DanielC :-)
clug ooh write a perl compiler in php 17:01
and compile the perl into php code ahahahaha
lollan :-) that means as well that lexers with perl6 must be pretty cool
clug, a compiler in php would be quite slow no ?
clug it would be awesome 17:02
lollan ^^
clug Does perl have goto?
DanielC clug: I hope not.
skids_ of course.
clug perldoc.perl.org/functions/goto.html
hmm python has a better implementation
they also implement comefrom 17:03
lollan I don't use goto with perl5 so I wouldn't know, there are to many ways to toy with reference anyway
skids_ But you should rarely need it given the versatility of the control structures.
lollan clug, I didn't know that
DanielC Unless you are writing assembly, there is no place for a goto in a program.
lollan the comefrom stuff
clug en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COMEFROM 17:04
what about comefrom?
lollan DanielC, we can agree on that
club: if you're code is structured enough why would you need a comefrom
skids_ I beg to differ. goto in C is a huge benefit to code readability and maintainability.
lollan ?
clug yeah, I write all my loops using goto
lollan I don't completly agree with C
DanielC clug: You are kidding, right? 17:05
clug yes
lollan but it's true that sometimes it is useful goto in C, when I was coding C for processor stuff, goto was often used instead of switch and stuff
DanielC k
skids_ lollan: you just have to know when to use it, and when not to.
lollan skids_, yep
clug, you killed me
lmao
skids_ e.g. it's best used for undoing stuff in failure conditions. 17:06
lollan perl6 looks alright for me I just wonder which implementation would be complete first
skids_ rakudo is the safest bet IMO. But keep an eye on what SMOP is up to. 17:07
lollan SMOP idea looks good, I didn't dig into it yet but it really looks like some kind of well tought experimentation
17:08 clug left
lollan I didn't know rakudo before now to be honest 17:08

lollan lol 17:12
These days it looks like it's fashion and reliable to implement languages with a VM or a spec. 17:13
skids_ but not both? :-)
lollan lol
I was looking at some languges earlier I found stuff like Clojure, Jruby and stuff like that
I don't understand the thing with those one though but perl6 rox 17:14
I'll stay on perl and haskell this year too
thanks guys ^^
skids_ coded-in-a-single-sitting labguages?
lollan no I know a bunch of them but I don't code in many 17:15
it's manly C++, Java , Haskell, perl5 and lua from time to time
even tough I know python I do my best not to use it lol
same with C# 17:16
I just felt last week that perl5 did its time
skids_ I keep managing to find better things to do with my time than learn python, though it is on the TODO list somewhere down there.
lollan skids_, well I should have done like you
lol
17:17 Chillance left
skids_ Damn, now I don't have the excuse of deciding whether to learn that or ruby first anymore :-) 17:17
lollan but I heard that django was "cool" so I gave it a go to finally come back on perl and php
skids_, If I were you I'd learn python not ruby
I found ruby people and ruby language a bit off 17:18
it's weird to say but there's too much freedom in that
it's like there's no structure
skids_ I've done some php, ergo I know php stands for "prefer to have perl" 17:19
lollan come on skids_ php is not that bad. to be honest with you if it wasn't for catalyst I would still be doing some php today (I speak of php from version 4 before that It's like you said) 17:21
skids_ It's OK, if you don't have perl. Certainly much preferable to bash.
lollan lol you know speaking of bash I heard that some dude are pretty into it making crazy huge stuff with it 17:22
skids_ But I came in already knowing perl, so it was like -- wow, nothing here impresses me at all.
lollan skids_, all those implementation will they have a standard lib with them ?
skids_ You mean, for embedding?
lollan skids_, php is not impressive it's just useful, yeah for embedding even with mod_perl embedding with php is nice 17:23
I'm like you I prefer perl especially with CPAN but php is not bad
skids_ I'm not sure if there's a formal Perl6 implementation-netural spec for embedding yet. 17:24
17:24 frew joined
skids_ Certainly, Parrot intends to allow embed of just aboyut anything that runs on it. 17:24
lollan yep soon chossing a language would be useless with parrot 17:25
skids_ I would actually like to see bash implemented on Parrot, but only because then we could make a busybox that comes with a bunch of languages preinstalled.
lollan the more the better as long as the implementation is well done I don't see the problem 17:26
skids_, are you involve into the imp. of perl6 ? 17:28
I mean one of them ?
skids_ I'm too frazzled to actually string together a coherent commit. I do peck at things though. 17:29
And keep track, to the extent I have time to. 17:30
lollan ok ok anyway you and DanielC just convert someone to perl6, I have a look around and toy with some imp. ; cheers guys 17:34
skids_ /etc/init.d/ <-- people who like to write crazy long things in bash :-)
best of luck, drop by with questions, of course 17:35
lollan lol I had a look at that some while back especially the networking script 17:36
I always wondered why do linux bother with stuff like bash when there are so many scrypt languages which are more understandable ? 17:37
skids_ It's cowardice. Nobody wants to declare an official language for their distro due to language wars. Bash wins by default. (luckily the csh/ksh/bash wars seem mostly over) 17:38
lollan lol ok ok 17:39
I'll have to run, I was at work (yes working saturday sucks but it's for my own self so it's cool) 17:40
thanks again skids_
see you around
skids_ np anytime

masak oh hai. 20:46
DanielC: pong.
20:46 kate21de joined
masak I'm growing to like Genshi. I've studied it in detail today. 20:47
currently blocking on something like expat bindings for Hitomi. would that be possible in Parrot today?
20:48 Fuad joined
Fuad Hello=) 20:48
masak Fuad: hi!
DanielC hi 20:49
masak: I forget what I wanted to ask you :-)
masak DanielC: ok. :)
DanielC: nice to see progress with your parrot-library stuff!
DanielC masak: I'm sure it was something about the parrot-module-lib ting.
Yeah :-) 20:50
The project is coming along really well. I'm happy.
I've learned a lot about Parrot in the process.
masak sounds nice. 20:51
DanielC Initially I thought it would be very hard because I didn't know Parrot, but I have found Parrot very easy to learn.
masak I like the ROADMAP. it makes me excited. 20:52
DanielC :-)
Fuad hey masak:)
masak unfortunately, I have to sleep now, because I'm treating a light cold.
DanielC Ok, good night. 20:53
masak Fuad: have you downloaded Rakudo yet, or are you just here to say hi? :)
Infinoid DanielC: Did you have a chance to check out that patch?
DanielC Infinoid: Which patch? 20:54
Infinoid: Is there already a patch for the is_deeply bug?
Infinoid Yes. I guess you left shortly before I linked you to it 20:55
DanielC Oops, sorry.
Infinoid nopaste.snit.ch/16909
DanielC *click*
Infinoid That gets your test case passing here, was hoping for some more eyeballs on it tho
20:56 masak left
Infinoid I'm also not sure whether is_deeply is currently kosher with regards to definedness/existingness of keys 20:56
DanielC Well, I'm no expert on parrot, I'm not sure how I can help.
Infinoid I can crash it by passing in a hash which contains some Undefs, for example
DanielC hn 20:57
hmm
Infinoid well, it would help me to understand how (or if) perl6 does exists() on hash keys
Can perl6 create hash keys containing Undef values? Should is_deeply compare !defined and !exists elements as equivalent? 20:59
DanielC Btw, I've only been using Rakudo < 3 weeks. So it's hard for me to do much more than test.
pmurias ruoso: hi
Infinoid Fair enough. :)
DanielC rakudo: my %h = ( "foo" => undef );
p6eval rakudo 77f9d7: ( no output )
DanielC Infinoid: Looks like it can.
Infinoid I was just thinking of nailing some more of the corner cases, that's all 21:00
DanielC yeah
Infinoid Ok. Passing that hash to is_deeply() will probably crash it
DanielC Are Rakudo hashes implemented as Parrot hashes?
Infinoid I don't know. If you're using Parrot's is_deeply(), it probably doesn't matter either way 21:01
I don't see a rakudo-specific hash pmc 21:02
DanielC pmichaud would know the answer. 21:03
Do you know if this patch will make it to the Tuesday release?
Infinoid I will commit it today, so yes. I mainly wanted to know the extent of further work 21:05
DanielC I'm impressed. I didn't expect a patch so soon. Good work :) 21:06
Infinoid I do worry that it may expose bugs in rakudo's test suite that were hidden by the previous breakage, but that's probably a good thing overall
DanielC Exposing bugs++ 21:07
I think it is a good thing.
You want to find out about bugs as early as possible.
Infinoid I'll make sure nothing else broke in parrot or rakudo, and check it in 21:09
I've also added another parrot test to cover it. 21:10
What's the right spectest thingy to run for rakudo? 21:13
viklund ?
DanielC make spetest ?
make spectest ?
viklund make spectest !
Infinoid Great. For some reason, I seem to remember "spectest_regression", but I think that's disappeared 21:14
thanks
viklund @seen viklund 21:18
lambdabot You are in #perl6. I last heard you speak just now.
viklund nice 21:19
