lue moritz: just while it's on my mind, is it just me or is S10 lacking in something? My guess is that whole "if it's the same in Perl 5, don't mention it" thing. Of course, I could've just been dense earlier today :) 05:40
05:41 xenoterracide joined
moritz lue: you really have to read S10 and S11 as one, IMHO 05:42
lue That would make sense. My main issue was that the point of packages wasn't really explained (there was just that CANDO bit, but it doesn't seem that useful without knowing more about packages.) 05:44
05:44 FROGGS left
lue I know they're what modules and classes are based off, but that's it :P 05:44
moritz IMHO the only use for packages in Perl 6 is as "unspecialized" modules/classes/grammers 05:45
*grammars
if you write grammar A::B { }, it autovivifies a package A, which can later be filled in with a class, or a grammar, or a module
lue For some reason at parts of S10 I was thinking "isn't this kinda walking the line between normal Perl 6 and 6model (knowhows)?" . I'm sure that's a false notion though. 05:48
05:50 zakharyas left 05:52 jnap joined 05:57 jnap left
moritz doesn't see the connection 05:57
lue I think at some point I got the idea that packages could be used to construct more specialized things (modules, classes). Like I said, false notion.
lue thinks it was the talk about CANDO that did it. 06:00

Woodi hallo :) 06:59
FROGGS hi Woodi 07:00
Woodi about architecture.svg: there is cycle: parser calls actions and vice versa, also Core and World are used by both.
timotimo core shouldn't be used by the actions and/or parser, but they are parsed by them 07:01
Woodi so it means: "we get Perl6 sources, spin for a while and produce some QAST" :)
timotimo don't forget that parser and actions are in nqp rather than perl6
FROGGS the world too, but not ore 07:02
core*
Woodi would be nice to know what calls what, what produces result and returns to what. also: there are no representations and grammars!
timotimo and parser and actions interact directly; when a rule parse is finished, the action method runs and can set the .ast property of the match object it has as well as do things with the World object
FROGGS almost, when the document is parsed, the corresponding ation methods of the rules that have matched are called, in reverse order 07:05
world is a collection of helper methods used by the grammar and action, and also a stash for thing that are generated at compile time but should be accessible at runtime 07:09
(think of begin blocks)
and the action only "use" core in a sense that lookups to e.g. Nil are put into the ast, that will be done at runtime, when core is there that supplies a Nil 07:10
ahh, and the world uses the Perl6::Actions directly to parse heredocs 07:12

tadzik so, I'm really thinking about writing a post about "how does the code go from the editor to the running program, through the compiler" sort of thing 08:45
what's the place of grammar, actions, nqp, CORE.setting etc
I guess I'll write a draft and see if that makes any sense 08:46
hoelzro tadzik: I think that sounds like a good idea
I tried to do something like that for last year; I think it may have been too high-level, though 08:47

tadzik raydiak: I'd be very interested in looking at those 09:24
and I think it is something J:U should cover in one way or another, maybe as sort of an "advanced" feature
my intention was to model it after Go's "encoding/json", which has a well-defined rules about what to do with extra/nonexistent keys 09:25
I don't remember implementing those in my version though

09:26 daniel-s__ joined, daniel-s_ left
mathw tadzik: well-defined rules about what to do with 'extra' keys sounds like a good idea to me :) 09:28
hmm, where are all my colleagues today?
tadzik I asked myself a similar question today 09:29
09:29 tgt left
raydiak use case is that scene files have an array of objects, typed as pray::scene::object, but each object is actually a subclass (eg pray::scene::sphere)...so I added a 'primitive' prop to object, and object's contructor calls the correct subclass constructor based on that...so Object.new(:primitive<sphere>) returns the same as Sphere.new()...it kinda feels like a dirty trick sometimes, though :) 09:29
tadzik and then there was the "oh, that's because I'm on time today" moment ;)
raydiak: the notion of Object being aware of all its subclasses feels a bit dirty, yes :) 09:32
but I see why you want it 09:33
09:36 xinming_ joined
raydiak at least it's not really "aware" in the sense that it has a hard-coded list of subclasses in it or anything...just manipulates $.primitive into the proper class name and passes the args on to that constructor (or crashes if there's a typo) 09:37
09:38 dakkar joined
raydiak I also am about to have a problem where I want some properties to be able to be either a number or another object (or array or something)...eg scaing, where a user might want to use just one value, or separate x, y, and z values...not sure how I plan to handle that yet 09:39
09:39 mberends left
masak good antenoon, #perl6 09:39
09:39 xinming left
FROGGS hi masak 09:39
moritz raydiak: well, if you don't add type constraints to your attributes or variables, that's not really a problem 09:40
raydiak: ... assuming the code that uses them can deal with the contents
FROGGS raydiak: I might create a Scaling class, where you set the factor for all x, y and z or a general value, and it sets all three to that value 09:41
masak raydiak: re deep cloning -- do you know of any language that provides this, out-of-the-box? it seems to me that shallow cloning is easy, but deep cloning raises all these "interesting" issues.
FROGGS raydiak: so later in your code you would always take the scaling for x, y and z into account, wether they are the same or not

frettled A masak! \o/~ 09:46
masak where!? 09:47
frettled It hides!
raydiak tadzik: I pushed the changes to my fork on github so you can check it out
frettled I think Smalltalk does deep copy reasonably. 09:48
It's not infinitely deep, merely one level. 09:49
raydiak moritz: that's true, I could do without the type constraints, and then just die from my own code if they put a hash or string or something in there...but JSON::Unmarshal generally handling more complex type constraints should probably be addressed one way or another if possible
frettled IIRC, some LPC implementations do this as well. (Lars Pensjö's C, usd for LPMUDs)
raydiak FROGGS: I hadn't considered making the scaling itself a class...I'll have to mull that over some more 09:50
masak: you're right, of course...I guess Perl 6 just provides for so much powerful expression, I found it a bit surprising that something so common would be entirely excluded. but you're right about "interesting" issues, only some of which I am even aware of 09:53
masak frettled: oh -- by "deep", I basically meant "a whole object graph".
FROGGS raydiak: dont have to a class, but I'd compute the scaling factor for x, y and z in all cases so the code afterwards don't have to care
09:53 tangentstorm left 09:56 jnap joined
raydiak FROGGS: I'm thinking specifically of the complications involved with doing this through JSON::Unmarshal, which always tries to unmarshal a value based on the type constraint of the property 09:56
FROGGS k, seems I am lacking knowledge of your architecture 09:57
09:58 _daniel-s__ left, daniel-s_ joined
raydiak FROGGS: it's a little twisty, but I'm in the process of straightening it...like a wrecked car :) 09:59
frettled masak: copy/clone as value or as reference?
masak: that is, duplicate the entire graph, but as a new graph?
10:00 jnap left
frettled The latter is promised by copy() in the MudOS LPC driver: startfromlil.wordpress.com/mudos-do...eral__copy 10:00
masak yeah, my mind has "deep cloning" as "copy each node into the new graph". that is, ever object gets a new ID. 10:02
at this point, people generally mention filehandles and database handles. 10:03
moritz what about locks? :-)
masak and continuations. 10:04
raydiak wouldn't mind if it just died when attempting anything like that
masak yes, but the point is that "anything like that" needs to be internalized into the language (and then respected by new user-defined types). 10:06
10:06 smash__ is now known as smash
raydiak hmm 10:08

looking at the module ecosystem

frettled masak: everything is much simpler when everything is much simpler! 10:34
frettled could be a philosopher.
masak frettled: well, that's the key to successful DSLs, for what it's worth. 10:35
frettled masak: that said, there are two principal ways of handling recursive cloning, and variations of both could reasonably be offered, I think. 10:36
masak *nod*
frettled One is to copy references where they are, which would work with file handles etc.
But for copying deep values, file handles would probably have be copied as a state snapshot or something like that. 10:37
10:37 xinming left
frettled If "snapshot" isn't copytradepatentyrighted too much, that could perhaps work as a concept. 10:38
10:40 xinming joined
masak hm. I'm missing a concrete context to discuss all this "deep cloning" in. I don't really believe in providing features without solid use cases to back them up. 10:45
10:47 daniel-s__ left, _daniel-s__ joined 10:53 tgt joined, daniel-s_ joined
frettled Snapshotting is at least reasonably easy to say that is useful, since it implies that state can be transferred from one instance to another. 10:54
10:54 _daniel-s__ left
frettled Then again, I think that building deep structures with file handles and whatnot in them is rather nasty. 10:55
FROGGS hoelzro: I'd pick pm, because there are usually more modules than scripts 10:56
hoelzro hmm
true
FROGGS but dunno how much that matters 10:57
hoelzro I'm going by analogy with Perl 5, though
which uses .pl 10:58

hoelzro linguist doesn't care for the duplicate primary extensions 11:01
masak frettled: right -- in the cases when you'll be wanting to do deep cloning, chances are you're not interested in file handles anyway :) 11:03
frettled: so it's a case of trying to solve a very general problem no-one asked to have solved.

lizmat lue: re irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2013-12-03#i_7952356 , that is my proposal, yes 13:17
having seen FROGGS++ work on it recently, I'm thinking on making that the default, rather than the authoritative specification 13:18
13:19 daniel-s__ left, _daniel-s__ joined
lizmat but that would bring the burden on the code calling CompUnitRepo.install to have to *specify* name, auth and ver 13:19
jnthn lizmat: You need to await that Promise.allof, but maybe somebody managed to break allof too...
FROGGS lizmat: the thing that calls .install must already know much about the to-be-installed dist, yes 13:20
that is what the META.info is for
jnthn lizmat: I thought we had tests for allof, though... 13:21
lizmat we have, and they passs
jnthn Oh...so I guess it's not allof after all...
Or if it is, something odd. 13:22
That looks exactly like an example I used and demo'd in a recent talk
Though using "sleep" is a really bad way to do it :) 13:23
As you'll fill the thread pool and then get the wrong results :)
Well, not with 10 things, I guess. But still...
lizmat well, yes, it was the sleepsort example, no? 13:27
jnthn Right, but do it with Promise.in($_) :)
Which needs like one thread instead of 10 ;)
13:28 _daniel-s__ left, denis_boyun left
lizmat ah, yes. Maybe that's the difference / problem 13:28
will check in mo
13:28 kivutar joined
timotimo also, don't you want to Promise.allof(@p).result? or does the sinking of the promise do the waiting for us? 13:29
FROGGS lizmat: btw, I'd still prefer a `unit` statement rather than putting auth/var/name/... in pod (and this unit statement is redundant if you use a semicolon form of pkg declaration, because that implies unitness) 13:30
13:31 _daniel-s__ joined
lizmat FROGGS: but what if the same compilation unit has more than 1 package like statement ? 13:31
*and* provide auth/var/name ? 13:32
FROGGS lizmat: only one can have a semicolon (already)
lizmat different from the first: should that then die?
ah, ok
gitcha
FROGGS and only the first one
lizmat gotcha rather
FROGGS so we know if the others are nested or not
I like `unit` because it is a rather important thing 13:33
and it is about what we are talking about: units
lizmat perhaps we should forget about putting any of that information in the source, and force all parameters to CompUnitRepo.install to be obligatory 13:34
FROGGS +1
because the .install don't have to know how to fetch code, it only should are about installing it
lizmat or let each CompUnitRepo.install figure out for itself what parameters it would need 13:35
FROGGS panda knows how to fetch, and it knows where the meta data is
yeah
makes sense+
lizmat ok, I'll change S11 accordingly 13:36
FROGGS ohh, thank you 13:37
lizmat BTW, for the advent, what kind of markup does that need?
FROGGS I am unable to parse your question 13:38

moritz if I do <alias=original> in a regex, which action method is run? 'alias' or 'original'?
moritz guesses 'original' 13:48
jnthn moritz: original, 'cus the action method is run before teh rule returns
timotimo yes, original
jnthn So the rule has no clue about the alias.
Actions are triggered by !cursor_pass, which is the last thing that happens in a rule

hoelzro it's pretty fun, but really hard
arnsholt D'you know if there's a Linux version?
tadzik there is 14:03
at least steam sells it as such
hoelzro there is
tadzik it doesn't neceserilly mean it works
hoelzro that's what I've been playing
arnsholt Brilliant
hoelzro it works well enough
arnsholt Then I'll probably buy a copy

timotimo sometimes steam shows no linux icon when there clearly is a linux port available, even. 14:03
tadzik (I'm looking at you, the-aircraft-game-from-humble-bundle)
arnsholt I've been wanting to try it from the RPS coverage
timotimo (even when you can just install it on steam on linux)
tadzik it can be "beta" 14:04
hoelzro I was astonished: I discovered a few weeks ago that *over half* of my steam library has Linux support
moritz what's a good way to get the next first date of a month after a given date?
timotimo linux games: 53, all games: 86
makes me a bit sad

timotimo every workplace should have steam clients
hoelzro timotimo: sad?
why sad?
tadzik we only have an xbox :(
timotimo hoelzro: i want 75% at least
hoelzro time will tell =)
timotimo though given that linux is currently at 1% of steam user share ... 14:06
arnsholt moritz: I guess the sledgehammer approach is to set day to 1, month to +1 (or 1 if it's already 12), and increment year if it's december
tadzik do we have 1% of games?
14:06 colomon joined
timotimo 1% of users 14:06
arnsholt Of course, that'll fail for BC dates =)
tadzik yes, but is 1% of steam games available on linux?
moritz arnsholt: that sounds kinda ugly, because it duplicates the Date logic
timotimo tadzik: i don't know
hoelzro I wonder what the breakdown is across the whole store 14:07
quick! someone write a scraper!
hmm
hoelzro checks modules.perl6.org
timotimo there's a big amount of games on steam that came out before steam for linux was a thing and that have probably been abandoned by their developers or something
14:07 jnap joined
arnsholt moritz: Yeah, it's a bit ugly. But I'm not familiar enough with the logic in Date to know if there's a better solution 14:07
timotimo so it wouldn't surprise me very much if the number of total games ported to linux was very low

tadzik not sure which of those numbers contains all the dlcs
hoelzro what a poor representation!
if you ask me
timotimo it'd be interesting to categorize the games into release years 14:15
hoelzro Steam should work with Wine/Crossover/whatever to try and bring other games into the Linux fold
timotimo: indeed
tadzik 25k packages, but 13k apps in database

hoelzro that's kinda important.
is Witcher good?
frettled arnsholt: I suspect sjn is trying to ping me because I'm idle on other channels somewhere or something :)
tadzik yeah, I like it a lot
hoelzro I've been considering giving it a shot
tadzik it feels similar to gothic, except that story has a very strong impact on the gameplay 14:17
timotimo i would like wine integration into steam
but it's not easy
tadzik you often make decisions, and then see the outcome a couple of hours later, when it's too late to change anything
and you get like "oh god what have I done"
arnsholt frettled: Sneaky! =)
hoelzro sweet
timotimo: indeed 14:18
I wouldn't even care if they had a big "not fully supported" sticker on it
tadzik I think it's an option to run the entire steam on wine, and games inside it
hoelzro because for Wine games, I have a wine installation with Steam on it.
moritz has a nice sample program for parsing, Date and rakudo release dates for the advent calendar
hoelzro tadzik: that's what I do now
it's just annoying to switch between/remember which games are on which
and if I have a game installed via Wine, and a native client comes out, steam could tell me 14:19
tadzik we'll have all that and more with steamos streaming \o
assuming one actually has a windows machine
timotimo well, you'll ... yeah
frettled arnsholt: yes, very sneaky! 14:20
timotimo personally, i'm excited to see valve put in work in all subsystems of modern desktop linuces
graphics drivers are an obvious spot where they've already done good stuff, but there's also input and audio

Woodi except it will be standalone hardware (without rooting capability) ? :) 14:43
huf if so, they'll soon break that open
Woodi I wonder do they do their own X server :) 14:44
huf do they need an x server? 14:45
moritz Woodi: I guess they'll either use an existing one (X, wayland, ..), or directly use OpenGL
writing a new X server certainly doesn't fit their economic niche
huf by the time the game has launched, you dont really need X
Woodi what Android done ? 14:46
huf the gamelauncher UI can be anything. i suppose if they want to support alt-tabbing to the game's wiki, they'll need some X or something :)
unless they expect you to have the game's wiki open on some other device
moritz maybe they'll just start a browser in always-fullscreen mode directly on top of the display, or something
huf :) 14:47
the gamelauncher UI can be a webapp too!

TimToady imagines that one can help things a great deal by doing lazy concatenation 16:15
timotimo yeah. allegedly, java has trouble if you have a loop a la string += foobar 16:16

TimToady and anything that does not require substr can just traverse the list as a ropey string
timotimo yeah 16:17
16:17 atroxaper left, salv0 joined
TimToady a substr might force the rope to get regularized 16:17
timotimo unless you happen to substr a single string inside the rope :)
iirc, it could also regularize only a part of the whole thing, right?
TimToady well, or it could build the offset index for strands of rope 16:18
lotsa ways to run it without leaking the abstraction, if you don't count performance
the proposed Cat type is really just a lazy rope 16:21
timotimo oh, String.concat seems helpful
TimToady and the concat can be lazy without making the individual bits lazy, if side effects are a concern 16:22

Rotwang hi 19:21
I'm going through: perl6advent.wordpress.com/2012/12/2...23-macros/ 19:22
and I wonder if the LOG macro is inside module how would I make it configurable from caller?
LOGGING is constant so I can never change it, so it is possible to assign False to LOGGING if I modify my module sources only? 19:23
19:25 bluescreen10 joined
FROGGS you could declare another constant LOGGING in your code, no? 19:25
rp: constant Foo = True; { constant Foo = False; say Foo } 19:26
camelia rakudo-parrot b227e6: OUTPUT«False␤»
FROGGS rp: constant Foo = True; { constant Foo = False; say Foo }; say Foo
camelia rakudo-parrot b227e6: OUTPUT«False␤True␤»
moritz Rotwang: you could do constant LOGGING = %*ENV<YOURAPP_LOG>;
FROGGS: won't help, since the macro always resolves the same constant
it doesn'T say COMPILING::<LOGGING> 19:27
19:28 ajr_ joined
moritz but masak++'s point was that you have to change only one piece of code (the constant) to enable/disable logging, and have 0 runtime overhead in the no-logging case 19:28
FROGGS rp: constant L = True; macro log($m) { if $m { say {{{$m}}} } }; log "foo"; { constant L = False; log "bar" } 19:29

jnthn TimToady: I've been looking at optimizing away capture creation somewhat, to cheapen calls and let us get close to how (in this case) the JVM likes to do arg passing for some of the simple and very common cases. 20:25
TimToady: The thing I'm running up against is that callsame/callwith/nextsame/nextwith always need the capture handy. 20:26
20:27 tipdbmp left 20:30 tipdbmp joined
jnthn TimToady: So, I guess my question is, how statically can be spot that? Can I rely on "is one of these called in the lexical scope of the routine"? 20:31
20:34 sqirrel left 20:42 SevenWolf joined
PerlJam I would guess that you can make a Block that could hide the call to callsame/callwith/nextsame/nextwith outside of the lexical scope, but my quick skim of the spec didn't reveal something explicit one way or another 20:45
jnthn PerlJam: I'm not sure sure how you could...'cus blocks have their own dispatchers too (have to for &foo.wrap({ say 'omgz'; callsame }) to work) 20:46
PerlJam oh. maybe so. 20:47
jnthn PerlJam: About the only way I can see you managing it is weirdness like my &foo := &callsame; # or so
moritz &::('callsame')
jnthn I'm think this wants to be in the same territory as eval. The optimzier can by default assume there'll be an actual direct call... 20:48
And if there's not, go optimizing.
We can always provide pragmas for people who want their code to run slower. :) 20:49
PerlJam sounds sane to me
jnthn As "use soft" does today :)
lue hello world o/
moritz jnthn: would it be very hard to create the capture on demand? 20:50
jnthn moritz: Well, it's...icky
moritz I mean you know the arity statically when you that optimization
jnthn I mean, we could go and look at the signature, and look up the lexicals...
But what if you didn't give them names? 20:51
20:51 rindolf left
moritz hm. 20:51
jnthn Or what if we then optimized lexicals into cheaper locals 'cus you never close over them?
moritz then you need to use the locals :-)
but I see your point(s)
jnthn Well, on Moar I can make that happen. On JVM...we don't have general stack inspection to do that. 20:52
Heck, once the JITs had its way the stack probably looks nothing like you'd imagine it might even if you could.

ivanshmakov “… most complete / actively maintained … github.com/fperrad/lua …” — parrot.org/languages/. 20:58
With last commit being more than a year and a half ago, that doesn’t look quite like “actively maintained.” Is it “most complete”? 20:59
FROGGS ivanshmakov: where do you have that info from? 21:01
jnthn FROGGS: I asume the linked parrot.org/languages/ :) 21:02
jnthn has no idea of its status, though.
FROGGS ahh, yes
was looking at parrot's wiki, and it showed that this lua was built against parrot 3.3 and under development
ivanshmakov: no, I don't think that it is really actively maintained, but I can't answer your other question :/ 21:03
Rotwang is there specification for perl6 package manager? I'm trying to figure out if panda is going to call Makefile during installation 21:04
FROGGS Rotwang: it does not currently
moritz but iirc there is *something* it calls 21:05
FROGGS but you can supply your own Build.pl or what it was called
moritz maybe look at Perl6::Debugger
jnthn I think Rakudo::Debugger does, that, yeah.

lizmat "The changes to calls to bless() in the core setting were implemented by moritz++." 21:26

lizmat masak: yes
masak because it would be perfectly cromulent to stop there and save the other topics for another day if you want.

lizmat ah, ok
hmmm.......
masak lizmat++ either way
lizmat yes, that would make life easier
masak 'night, #perl6 21:28
lizmat and give me more time to reasearch
lue lizmat: If you do end it there, a mention about how to accomplish bless(*) now would be nice. ("(by the way, if you need that candidate to be something other than *, use a custom SUBBUILDTIMETHING method)") If it can fit, that is. 21:29
♞ masak o/
lizmat ok, I'm dropping the last 3
hmm... I'm actually not sure how you would specify another representation than P6Opaque 21:32
jnthn is repr('...') 21:33
lizmat you mean: 21:34
lue It's fine if you don't, it's just a small thing that's been nagging... oh hai jnthn o/
lizmat class is repr("P6Hash") ?
jnthn There's some examples in CORE.setting
Well, nearly
class Foo is repr('VMArray') { } # for example
Need a class anme to make it syntactically valid. 21:35
Or a ::
Otherwise it takes "is" as the class name.
lue jnthn: I think maybe the name was implied :)
jnthn Then gets sad :)
lizmat I think that that would be taken the blog post into a really different direction
jnthn I didn't read the post yet, but yeah, it's a kinda esoteric area :)
moritz I would leave it out too 21:36
lue lizmat: like I said, if it fits. Now that I know, I don't particularly care if it's in the post :P
moritz since that was never a real-world use case for the first argument to bless
lue just thought of a method new() that let you choose your own repr. self.bless(:$repr, ...) 21:38

jnthn TimToady: OK, thanks. Will work on it. 22:16
TimToady raydiak: that would depend on whether the subclass requires intimate knowledge of the superclass, since it can only access Array through its public interface
jnthn raydiak: You almost certianly don't want to be talking about is repr there, I think. 22:17
raydiak jnthn: that's what I figured, just thought I'd check
