Eliminate implementation details from definition

The signatures in Rakudo do not match those in the documentation:
  github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/e548....pm6#L1700
and the tests in roast
  github.com/perl6/roast/blob/2288d4...t-simple.t
do not test for returning a Seq, so the fact that they actually return a Seq must be considered an implementation detail with no place in the documentation.		 05:35

timotimo do you mean ipython or the jupyter notebook?
(for some reason i still called it ipython notebook up there, but they renamed it a couple of years ago)
pmurias isn't it the same thing under different names?
timotimo jupyter notebooks are big in Science
yeah, just a rename, but since there's kernels for billions of languages now, it'd be strange to keep calling it "ipython notebook" 10:13

Still looks like the problem is in overriding method bless.
I take out the override and it goes away. 11:43
The idea is to have code that is only run ONCE per object initialization. Can't do that in BUILD or TWEAK.
Coz... subclassing.
masak pmurias: 6pad! <3 11:44
Xliff Could do it in method new().... if there were only one.
masak Xliff: wait, BUILD only runs once per object initialization, no?
Xliff masak: Yes... but subclassing 11:45
masak m: class B { submethod BUILD { say "B's BUILD" } }; class C is B { submethod BUILD { say "C's BUILD" } }; C.new
camelia B's BUILD

Xliff masak: I do NOT want the code to run more than ONCE.
masak Xliff: it... doesn't? 11:46
Xliff Your example runs two instances of BUILD.
masak Xliff: the BUILD in B runs once and the BUILD in C runs once.
Xliff Yes.
masak that's correct, because my C instance is also a B instance
Xliff I know.
11:46 saki joined
tadzik so you want your BUILD to not be a submethod? 11:46
11:46 saki left
Xliff And the code I want to run should happen AFTER all of the BUILD calls are made. 11:46
11:46 pmurias_ joined, p6bannerbot sets mode: +v pmurias_
Xliff but before bless exits. Hence why I wanted to override bless. 11:47
masak usually when I'm banging my head against the OO system, I take a step back and wonder if I'm doing things in the right way
tadzik while we're at it, I recently had a feeling that perhaps the P6/Moo(se) OOP syntax encourages bad OO practices
I know that it does in me, and life taught me that I'm usually not special :)
masak tadzik: I'd love to see a longer explanation of that
11:48 saki joined, saki left
tadzik masak: ah, take a seat :) 11:48
Xliff masak: Trust me. I took that step back.
masak tadzik: (will read asynchronously, as I'm currently teaching)
Xliff: ...but still, your conclusion was "I want to override .bless"? :P
Xliff If I can override new() why not bless()? 11:49
:P # masak
tadzik so, it's been a while since my first C++ books taught me that classes are just structs with functions, and nowadays I tend to think of object as the OG OO masters designed them: as entities that *do* things, are only accidentally happen to be data structures sometimes
now I can feel smug and intelligent people agree with me so I fell like it's I'm on the right track with these
so objects are those things that *do* things, and the things they do also strive to keep the object's state mostly hidden and mostly correct 11:50
masak Xliff: ...because .bless is at a deeper level of the OO system
Xliff: it's not "can't" so much as "probably shouldn't" 11:51
tadzik so that their data-structure properites are merely a useful addition to their core idea, rather than being the core idea itself
now, BUILD and bless kind of ties into that, and so is the discussion you're having
masak tadzik: you're expressing "The Mystical View" of OO, by the way.
Xliff I agree with "Probably shouldn't" but bless() is just a method, no?
masak (there's also "The Scandinavian View" and "The Software Engineering View") 11:52
Xliff I don't see anything in the docs saying that "This should not be done"
11:52 squashable6 joined
masak Xliff: you misunderstand 11:52
tison new/bless/BUILD/TWEAK
tadzik before TWEAK was a thing I remember having arguments here with TimToady, and at some point implementing a custom AFTERPARTY method into rakudo so that I can do things when the object is being initialized
11:52 aeruder__ left
masak Xliff: I'm not setting up a challenge. and you're right that the documentation does not discourage you from overriding .bless 11:52
tadzik the reason I wanted to do this was sound in retrospect: objects should care about correctness of their state, and doing that as they're being created is perhaps the most important part of it all 11:53

masak Xliff: it's just a matter of common sense -- it's deeper down in the OO system, so all other things equal, you'd be less wont to override it
tadzik in other words: "constructor" is of upmost importantce in an object, imho
Xliff m: class B { submethod TWEAK { say "B's TWEAK" } }; class C is B { submethod TWEAK { say "C's TWEAK" } }; C.new
camelia B's TWEAK
C's TWEAK
tadzik now the reason why I fought long battles with BUILD, AFTERPARTY and friends is because I didn't want to overload the actual constructor as I should
Xliff masak: But you still haven't said anything meaning that "I shouldn't be able to"
masak tadzik: agree insofar as invariants are important 11:54
tadzik but the reason why I didn't want to do that is because it was *easier* that way
Xliff masak: Just that it should happen rarely.
masak Xliff: that is what I'm saying
tadzik one of the selling points of Moose for me back in the day was "you don't have to write a constructor and this stupid bless() thing that confuses you, just declare your attributes"
masak Xliff: and I'm implying that your mistake *might be* that think you're in a rare situation
Xliff masak: Note that both BUILD and TWEAK run as expected.
tadzik Perl 6 does the same, obviously
11:54 kensanata joined, p6bannerbot sets mode: +v kensanata
Xliff But I don't want to repeatedly run this code in that manner. And those mechanisms you are touting don't let me do that. 11:55
In fact, you are saying that Perl6 is FIGHTING me on that.
I know what I want to do and I'm trying to find the best way to do it. I understand you may think that I'm NOT in this situation.
tadzik so the syntax of the language I used made it all very attribute-centric: object creation was pushed aside as something You Shouldn't Need To Do, and the data structures associated with an object has become not only the core part of creating them, but also a defining part of their interface!
Xliff But after careful analysis.. I AM.

Xliff And listen: this used to work!! 11:56
As recently as 2018.08
tison tadzik: sound like case object in Scala or data class in Kotlin
tadzik in a way, `has` and the autogenerated new() has lured me away from proper OO and back into the days of "I am 12 and C++ is just C with classes"
Xliff So imagine this from the point of view of the end-freaking-user.
Working code. No change. Upgrade Perl. Now broken.
tadzik and it did so sneakily and I only recently realised what I tend to do because of this 11:57
AlexDaniel Xliff: it's a blocker, yes, although I haven't looked at why it happens
Xliff And the push-back I get when I ask for help is that -- "Uh. You're doing it wrong."
AlexDaniel Xliff: is there a gist somewher explaining what's going on there?
sry I'm busy doing stuff for the squashathon
tison just stay away from constructor and delegate the initial of attributes to automate, and introduce a "start"/"init
Xliff And you wonder why people get upset?
tison " method (LOL
tadzik declare attributes in my Moo classes so that I can set them in a constructor, but I don't actually need them to exist: I just want the configuration for the proper attribute of the object available so that I can create the attribute I actually need in BUILD
Xliff AlexDaniel: 11:58
tadzik which is nuts and I feel ashamed of my actions, but I also feel partially excused: after all, that's what I've been conditioned to do *by the language itself*
Xliff AlexDaniel: The only one I've written up is here: gist.github.com/Xliff/5ed649b319a4...1516ad8d7d 11:59
AlexDaniel Xliff: generally if your code is broken by a change in rakudo, a ticket should be filed, and by default I'll slap a blocker label on that. Now, if there's a good justification why the behavior should be changed, then there is a possibility that it will be rejected. But I'd much rather prefer that rejection to be on the ticket, not in a messy IRC discussion :)
tadzik by making the proper way inconvenient and advertising the easy, yet not-very-objecty way as the right way to do things, I ended up writing many very silly classes and probably have made my own and others' programming life harder 12:00
Xliff AlexDaniel: I will file that ticket. However, the issue of assistance is the concern.
So allow me to quietly blow off some steam.
And this discussion is not... that ... messy. :)
tadzik Xliff: sorry for making it messier with my monologue :P 12:01
Xliff tadzik: Hey. It's an open channel. And I've been following your stuff, too.
tadzik :)
Xliff AlexDaniel: Will update gist with an example. 12:02
12:03 saki joined, saki left
tadzik I'm yet to reach a full conclusion of these thoughts, but what sits at the core of it is this: "has", willingly or not, ends up tying the interface of the constructor to the internal state of the object, introducing tight and unnecessary coupling. Yet people still use it because 1) having constructor arguments with declarative defaults and such is nice and convenient and 2) everyone hates writing your their 12:03
own new() because they associate bless() with something discouraged and hard to understand
lizmat And yet another Perl 6 Weekly hits the Net: p6weekly.wordpress.com/2018/10/01/...-than-two/ 12:06
tadzik as a possible way to solve it, perhaps having a separate entity from has would be nice? Something that declares an "input attribute", which the default constructor handles correctly, and *maybe* that "input attribute" sets an actual attribute with itself
I'll try to sketch a prototype 12:07
Xliff AlexDaniel: Here's the updated gist. gist.github.com/Xliff/5ed649b319a4...1516ad8d7d

pmurias_ tadzik: the input attribute would be syntax sugar to make initializing private attributes from constructor arguments easier? 12:18
tadzik masak: gist.github.com/tadzik/37a905d09db...14a986472f a sketch for an alternative
pmurias_: precisely, see the gist above :)
lizmat Xliff: s/nqp::create(self)/self.CREATE/ and you can get rid of 'use nqp' 12:19
yup, that's the one
tadzik pmurias_: my reasoning is: people like declarative attributes-arguments in has, and they don't like writing constructors. Let's give them both while not encouraging bad design

timotimo i wonder if the comparison of the benchmark where we create the Point and add their .x and .y to a total is disingenuous because of the nature of the optimization ... 14:34
lizmat timotimo: why ?
timotimo the optimization is that it eliminates the need to allocate an object to hold the two integers 14:41
at least i think that already landed?
i better check my claim before i make it
if that opt is yet to land, then ... oh my. 14:42
jnthn No, there's no EA yet
You're right that once we have EA and scalar replacement and they're working well, then we'll devestate that benchmark, though :) 14:43
timotimo oh jeez
jnthn And it's still actually kinda fair, in that there's loads of short-lived objects used for the purpose of abstraction in real programs. Think of Rat and Complex, for example :)
timotimo true 14:44
jnthn But yes, one'd want a benchmark that keeps the objects around also.
timotimo the pea that we have, does it only work for num and int attributes, or also for object registers?
jnthn Note that pea only exists in a very experimental branch :)
But I put in support for int/num/str too :)
lizmat jnthn: re the performance difference between Zoffix's opt and the standard 14:45
timotimo object attributes*
lizmat perhaps is the "is raw" on the named params the difference ?
nope, scratch that 14:46
jnthn :)
I'm not sure what it'll be without looking :)
timotimo the GC is doing well in this benchmark
7.8% of time is spent in the gc, it did 84 collections of 1.76ms on average 14:47
lizmat looks like making the attributes native ints, only helps a bit
timotimo it also allocates 3x as many Scalar as Point, and it also allocates as many BOOTHash and Hash as Point, and - unsurprisingly - 2x as many Int as Point 14:48
lizmat: perhaps some unnecessary boxing taking place, or usage of NativeRef
lizmat and having the custom new with !SET doesn't help at all if the attributes are *not* native ints
so it's the combination
so perhaps the standard initialization of native attributes is below par 14:49

Xliff_ Is there any way to see if a Supply has been tapped? 14:56
timotimo you could give it a promise that gets resolved by the first time the supply block is entered 14:57
if you're in fact using a supply block, that is
buggable New CPAN upload: JSON-Schema-0.9.tar.gz by JNTHN modules.perl6.org/dist/JSON::Schema:cpan:JNTHN
Xliff_ No. I'm not.
timotimo OK, that's a bit different then
but i'll be afk for a bit first
i know about on-close, but not sure of an on-tap
Xliff_ No worries. If you do find something, just PM me... or leave a message on the bot.
timotimo you can build a supply that does nothing except set a value to "True" 14:58
and pass on every other value
Xliff_ I guess I could, at that.
But am surprised that wasn't already in there.
However, if it wasn't in the synopses, then it wouldn't make it to implementation. ;) 14:59
timotimo like sub supply-snitch(Supply $other, atomicint $sentinel is rw) { supply { atomic-inc($sentinel); whenever $other { emit $_ } } }
Xliff_ And with that, I nap.
timotimo good nap!

Michael_S Hello, I have what I hope is a quick question. I'm trying to figure out the syntax for a function definition that returns a two item List/array/whatever. If I omit types, it works fine. But I'd like to use the type system, and I can't figure out how to get something like "returns (ClassX, ClassY)" past the compiler. 18:44

Michael_S Hello rindolf.
18:46 p6bannerbot sets mode: +v kurahaupo
rindolf Michael_S: are nt there tuples for that? 18:46
El_Che Michael_S: you want to type each element? Return an object 18:47
m: sub foo(-->List) { 1,2,3 }; foo()
camelia ( no output )
Michael_S I could define a custom class to hold the two otherwise unrelated classes I want to return. But I was hoping to avoid the overhead.
El_Che m: sub foo(-->List) { 1,2,3 }; foo().say
camelia (1 2 3)
El_Che only 2? A tuple will do then 18:48
Michael_S Hmm... let me play with it locally, just a minute.
El_Che it depends on how do you want to type them 18:51
Michael_S Using a List in the signature works. It's not an important feature, but I was hoping for something like Scala's typed tuples. In Scala you can do: def foo(): (Int, String) = { 1, "hello" }; val x = foo(); println(x._1); /* prints numeric 1 */ println(x._2); /*prints numeric 2 */ 18:52
18:52 domidumont left
Michael_S Sorry, I got that second part wrong. x._2 is a string. 18:52
And in the same example if I tried to set x._1 to something not numeric or x._2 to something not a String, it's an error. Not a killer feature by any means, just nice. Anyway, thanks very much for your help, I appreciate the quick responses. 18:54

Michael_S Thanks, very cool. 18:58
El_Che lizmat: should I document your example? 19:00
it's pretty cool
Michael_S Next question, and then I'll stop bothering people for today. I'm writing a script to automate video file encoding. At the beginning I'm going to setup the Linux cpulimit utility to limit encoder CPU usage, and then when the encode is finished it'll be killed by the script. I could do that part by hand, but this is one more way for me to explore Perl6.
lizmat El_Che: sure :-)
El_Che lizmat: here? docs.perl6.org/language/typesystem...set-subset 19:01
lizmat looks like a good place to me
SmokeMachine m: subset Foo of List where (Int,Str); sub a(--> Foo) { 1,"foo" }; dd a 19:02
camelia (1, "foo")
lizmat SmokeMachine++ # even shorter indeed :-)
El_Che damn 19:03
Michael_S So I enter the function that starts a Proc::Async with cpulimit and returns it. But I don't always want to use cpulimit, if I'm not going to use my machine for a while I don't want it. But I can't figure out a clean way to tell whether the Proc::Async has been initialized and started.
lizmat Michael_S: you're not looking for docs.perl6.org/type/Proc::Async#method_started are you? 19:04
or maybe "ready" ? 19:05
Michael_S I could have *sworn* I was getting errors when I used the .started call. I beat my head against that for twenty minutes. I just tried it again, and it worked fine.
My tuple digression there was for returning (Proc::Async, Bool). But I don't need it, I justed tested again and 'started' worked flawlessly. 19:08
Well, I learned some things anyway. Thanks again to rindolf, El_Che, lizmat, and SmokeMachine for the help. 19:09
lizmat Michael_S: /me learned as well :-)
