japhb wonders how to manage a hello.perl6.org as snazzy as this: hello.p5js.org/ 00:20
TimToady well, the Mint based on that 00:22
japhb Mint 17, I guess. 00:27
TimToady yes, a purportedly LTS version 00:29
so if someone is interested in LTS of niecza, 3.2.8 is probably a good target :) 00:31
japhb I was reading about that recently -- Mint 17 is supposedly taking advantage of Ubuntu LTS to avoid the churn expected over the next two years of Ubuntu proper.
TimToady that's the theory :)
especially since Mint doesn't believe in upgrade-in-place as much as Ubuntu 00:32
so it's even churnier for Mint 00:33
TimToady loves the productive affixes in English :)
TimToady loves the churnier affixes in English :) 00:35
japhb I think the Mint core team is just more realistic about GUI upgrades than Ubuntu is. Debian has been good enough (but not perfect) at CLI upgrades for server installs, but GUI desktop installs? Eww.

Woodi about JIT thing... I don't know planned jit emits some bytecode or nativecode but not having native/C implementations of some critical functions will make us always unhappy. native/C codded subs/methods could be reached via multi dispatch when arg types match. actually we could have two implementations of some functions: pure P6 and C, compile time choosed... 05:16
P5 just calls C functions and it makes it fast. we always will be missing such speed. 05:18

timotimo www.reddit.com/r/perl/comments/2dhv...scenarios/ - maybe someone in here can write up a well-thought-out response that is unlikely to turn this thread into a flamefest ... 08:59
moritz lol 09:02
timotimo though i can sort of see how any perl6 developer appearing in that thread could cause at least one message like "of course the perl6 cabal/echo chamber/... turns up to praise their hobby project" etc etc 09:04
moritz I've written an answer 09:05
and yes, it has the potential to turn into a flamewar 09:06
timotimo uh oh!
you wrote "a larger incentive to switch to perl 6 eventually" 09:07
brrt very few things in life do not have that potential
timotimo the haters will love that %)
and by love i mean hate
moritz of course
timotimo and by hate i mean love
moritz but it really is an essential point
the slowness of the p2 -> p3 migration is in large parts due to the lack of incentives to switch to 3 09:08
py2 -> py3 I should say
Ulti if someone wants you to use a hex screwdriver but all the screws you used on your nice construction are philips why would you upgrade
programming languages for most people are just tools without any intellectualism or artistry

moritz xiaomiao: like, features that make the code base much more maintainable and smaller
xiaomiao that, or performance optimizations that make things a lot faster
both can have a business value

Ulti if v5 ever had more perf than perl5 that would probably be a winning scenario 09:25
has anyone actually benchmarked what already works in v5?
timotimo Ulti: don't forget v5 will never be able to run XS based modules 09:29
though a "port" of NativeCall to v5 should be very simple
hmm.
now that i think about it
tadzik are you now thinking about implementing XS in NativeCall? 09:30
timotimo a big portion of what makes NativeCall so nice and elegant is our type signatures and type system and stuff like that
no!
oh god
tadzik I'm willing to supply alcohol to make that bearable
timotimo i think in the end you'll just { use v6; use NativeCall; our sub ... is native ... ; }
nwc10 yes, there are already FFI modules for perl 5 on CPAN, and they are really taking the world by storm...
betterworld how will DESTROY work in v5? I think many programs that use
nwc10 FFI is about 25% of the "problem"
09:30 klaas-janstol left
betterworld that use DESTROY depend on refcounting 09:30
nwc10 you also need to parse C headers to get function signatures, implement accessors to C structures, and parse headers to get enums and macros 09:31
and you are *stuffed* if the interface includes inline functions, or macros that expand to code.
timotimo nwc10: you have to explain that to me, i have no clue of the perl5 world at all
nwc10 timotimo: Perl 5 interfacing to C is traditionally done with "XS", which is an ugly shorthand langauge for writing C code 09:32
timotimo nwc10: right, nativecall can't deal with that, and it may be out of scope for NativeCall itself
what i mean is: is "taking the world by storm" sarcastic?
nwc10 but it generates C code, and so needs a C compiler
so people think that the solution is FFI, becaue then you don't need a C compiler to interface to C code
and FFI modules exist on CPAN
and (almost) nothing is using them.
because they don't actually make life easier
timotimo OK. 09:33
nwc10 nativecall is one part of what's needed to write a C interface.
but it's not enough on its own, except for simple things like "pass a number" or "return a number"
timotimo sad but true.
nwc10 oh, part of py2/py3 migration problem is that there's no way to have both py2 and py3 code running in the same process 09:34
so it's a flag day upgrade 09:35
and no automated way to 100% convert py2 code to py3 either
xiaomiao yarp, that's quite horrible
nwc10 incrementally upgrading your codebase module by module is not made easy

masak tadzik: that's why I more and more consider JavaScript to be a target language. 12:27
tadzik right
masak tadzik: same with HTML and CSS.
tadzik well, this I consider a GUI toolkit, not a language, but I see the point 12:28
pmurias masak: why do you consider JavaScipt laughably underpowered? 12:35
masak pmurias: other contemporary languages have several different levels of abstracting and compartmentalizing things. JavaScript has one: functions. 12:36
nwc10 masak: I've not used JS very much (mostly to drive CasperJS), but that's a very interesting way of looking at it 12:37
masak pmurias: consequently, being proficient in JavaScript mean learning how to (mis-)use functions for *everything*, and even well-written JavaScript is littered with nested anonymous functions, requiring familiarity with the patterns to make sense of it all.
pmurias: in practice, people compensate by switching to better languages and then compiling down to JS. result: less and less JS is an author language, more and more it's a compiled-to language. 12:38
12:40 klaas-janstol left
pmurias by littered with nested anonymous functions, you mean the use of callbacks for everything? 12:43
moritz also for getting a scope 12:44
masak right, not just callbacks.
functions are also used to create types.
moritz or for simulating a private attribute, by having a lexical variable in a new, private scope
masak and modules.
moritz EVERYTHING
masak and to do dependency injection.
right, everything. 12:45
moritz the more I think about it, the more I agree with masak++
which tells me that masak++ has thought a lot about it too :-)
nwc10 masak++
pmurias moritz: do people actually simulate private attributes in javascript?
nwc10 for these observations 12:46
moritz pmurias: some do
jnthn I use "var" in the scope of a constructor to obtain privacy in JS
masak it varies how much people care about that kind of privacy. 12:47
but yes, those who do use the lexical scope of the function for private things. 12:48
moritz there are even folks in perl 5 who use lexicals for privacy (see inside-out objects)
masak yeah, it's the morally equivalent trick. 12:49
moritz had a to write a tricky piece of code twice (due to changed requirements), and it worked correctly the very first time 12:50
in the second iteration, that is
that's a very unusual experience for me :-) 12:51

timotimo OK 13:27
jnthn timotimo: Seems the JIT notably helps some benchmarks, doesn't do much on others, but doesn't make any of them worse. :)
pmurias masak: some javascript code uses AMD, other just exposes a global object
masak pmurias: to me that sounds like a configure option on the to-JS compiler. bundling feels like the sensible default, since it creates something self-contained.
timotimo is that --min-time?

japhb The problem is largely that the slowest and fastest compiler on many of these tests are so far apart in performance, that it's hard to increase the SCALE (and thus avoid most of the noisy area of the left of the graph) without making the slowest compiler take so long that timotimo rants at me about time to do a benchmark run. :-( 15:59

jnthn japhb: I understand the problem, it's just that it's easy for me to visually spot bogus hoise at the start of the graph and filter it out, whereas trying to guess what missing data might have been is about impossible...
japhb (except on older builds, for concat tests, in which case r-m)
jnthn: Sure, the visual side is one thing, but the comparison values in the hover text are all wrong if the noise peaks higher than the steady state 16:02
(And of course history plots, which are based on grabbing the peak performance from each compiler on each test, become essentially random) 16:03
jnthn japhb: The weird thing about the graphs timotimo posted today are that it's cut data out later on in the benchmark... 16:05
timotimo hm?
jnthn timotimo: The missing points for moar-jit towards the right of the graph
timotimo "towards the right" is a pretty optimistic way of phrasing that :P 16:06

japhb Hmmm, something is very fishy there. 16:09
Do you actually have data for those points in those tests?
Because if a run errors for any reason, timeall immediately gives up on that compiler for that test and goes to the next. 16:10
timotimo gimme a sec; i think so
japhb Which makes me wonder if there's some segfaulting or something going on that causes a signal, that timeall reads as failure

timotimo i'll give you the json if you'd like?
japhb wonders if the loop got essentially optimized away 16:12
timotimo no, it would have stayed
japhb But if it was so bloody fast, timeall should have kept bumping the SCALE until it got a reading
timotimo but having the loop in asm is just ridiculously fast
japhb Hmmm, or there was an overflow in something
Yeah, post the json, I'd like to take a look 16:13

japhb We're really starting to need a compendium of things for people to avoid (or to specifically do) when optimizing 16:29

TimToady also the "clever" code was stringifying and numifying the same thing multiple times, which is something P5 optimizes but P6 doesn't yet 16:33
jnthn Note that we already do away with the thunk when it's a constant on the left
TimToady and it still runs 2^7 slower than the nqp version 16:34
jnthn The problem is that xx is done with gather/take, which in turn never gets told "oh, just eagerly make as many values as you can", so it makes them one at a time.

If there had been a run that took way long (like a background task eating all the CPU for a couple seconds), then it's reasonable for the scaler to have quit. But in this case, not unless 16:50

Ven I thought this was supposed to work and to return from f 19:37
jnthn But the map is lazy so runs after f 19:38
Well, the block does, anyway
Ven uh, does it?
jnthn m: sub f(@a) { eager map({ return $_ if $_; }, @a) }; say f(^10); 19:39

Ven I seem to remember Junction used that, though ...
oh.
m: sub f(@a) { map({ return $_ if $_; }, @a).gimme(*) }; f(^10); #??
camelia ( no output )
Ven you seem a bit laggy, camelia. 19:40
You even said jnthn++'s before mine ...
Well, then, I'm in a corner here. I need either to explain lazy/eager contexts BEFORE talking about this aspect of subs, or I need to find something that takes a block but isn't lazy 19:41
PerlJam Ven: what is "this aspect of subs" exactly? 19:43
Ven PerlJam: `return` in subs VS in blocks
"unable to push: server aborted the ssl handshake" nice. 19:44
PerlJam Ven: perhaps choose a different example that doesn't involve map?
Ven PerlJam: that's the 2nd option. I'm open to suggestions :)

lxmahyar Learn perl 6 or perl 5 ? 19:59
FROGGS depends... what do you wanna do? 20:00
PerlJam lxmahyar: why is it an either or thing? :)
lxmahyar I have doubt to decide between perl or python 20:01
or somthing else
PerlJam lxmahyar: again, why not all of them?
20:01 nbrown left
FROGGS lxmahyar: well, I do not like Python, but I'm not sure we can help you here without any informations 20:02
PerlJam lxmahyar: Or, if it were me, I'd learn Perl so that learnign the others would be simpler.
japhb lxmahyar: To be more precise, it's generally recommended to learn many languages -- but if you're asking which one to learn *first*, that depends on your goals. 20:03
lxmahyar I familiar with many languages 20:04
FROGGS then continue with Perl 6 :o)
lxmahyar I mean syntaxes
but I doubt perl die or not ? :( 20:05
FROGGS hmm?
Perl is not dead
Ven especially not Perl 6 :-)
FROGGS even not Perl 5
japhb lxmahyar: I'm going to moderate FROGGS' comment by saying that Perl 6 is definitely recommended for learning if your needs are not urgent and humongous, because we're deep in the task of optimizing the compiler; it's not super fast yet. For those needs, Perl 5 would be better.
FROGGS I mean, it might be harder to get a Perl job than to get a Java job, but I would not like to suffer doing Java at work fwiw 20:06
Ven hahaha. PHP and java jobs are easy to get, and they're the worst :-).
FROGGS Ven: exactly :o) 20:07
lxmahyar I want learn script language but, What does first ?
for fun, not for jub :)
FROGGS lxmahyar: then Perl 6, really
japhb For fun? Perl 6, hands down.
Ven Definitely Perl 6
japhb We even have -Ofun (Optimize for fun) as a basic community precept. 20:08
lxmahyar Haskell, Scheme or somthing ?
japhb Those are not scripting languages.
lxmahyar I know that.
Ven well, scheme can be considered as one, I guess.
japhb That said, I recommend learning both if you don't have a pure functional or S-expression based language under your belt.
Ven lisps have an history of AI scripting :P 20:09
japhb Ven: Kinda sorta, I suppose.
lxmahyar Well, so I guess, first learning perl5, then python
then something else
FROGGS hmmm, that does not sound like fun :o) 20:10
lxmahyar Now, I know C/C++
FROGGS (to me)
japhb Perl 5 will certainly give you reliability, speed, and a gigantic module library.
Ven that doesn't sound like fun either :P
lxmahyar and attention, but python indent not :D
Ven well then, same for python/php/ruby, I guess 20:11
japhb Of all the languages I know (have forgotten more than I currently use fluently, actually), Perl 6 is by far the most fun.
lxmahyar is perl6 compiler ghc ?
Ven I didn't understand ? 20:12
lxmahyar ohh, sorry it haskell ;)
FROGGS lxmahyar: no, Perl 6 is written in Perl6 (called rakudo)
Ven sighs realizing is english is as bad
japhb lxmahyar: ghc was used to write Pugs, which was the first Perl 6 compiler. It is no longer in active development.
FROGGS m: say "hello lxmahyar" 20:13
camelia rakudo-moar 0bbeda: OUTPUT«hello lxmahyar␤»
jnthn Current state of the art Perl 6 compilers are mostly written in Perl 6. :)
FROGGS jnthn: why the plural? :o)
lxmahyar sorry for bad English 20:14
jnthn Well, was considering multi-backend Rakudo, but in a sense STD is still in many ways the ultimate in getting a correct parse and that's in Perl 6 too :)
FROGGS lxmahyar: np 20:15
lxmahyar I like too much perl5 syntax but I'am scared 20:16
20:17 jnap left 20:18 jnap joined
lxmahyar perl has lists List comprehension? 20:18
FROGGS lxmahyar: well, Perl 6 is like Perl 5 leaned up and more awesome
cleaned*
japhb lxmahyar: Perl factors that rather differently than Python, for instance. 20:19
lxmahyar I hear perl6 has List comprehension 20:20
like this: "0..100 | Where {$_ * $_ -gt 3} | ForEach {$_ * 2}"
FROGGS m: my @s = ($_ * 2 if $_ ** 2 > 3 for 0 .. 99); say @s 20:21

lxmahyar but like perl6 not in default? 20:24
japhb lxmahyar: I'm not sure how to interpret that. We've just shown you three different syntaxes (one of which also works in Perl 5) for what Pythonistas consider to be a list comprehension. 20:25

lxmahyar interesting :) 20:27
Ven lxmahyar: you can a glimpse of Perl 6 with this tutorial: github.com/learnxinyminutes.com/docs/perl6/ 20:28
lxmahyar I like philosophy of TMTOWDI :D
Ven does shameless self-plugs
fun of this changes from one person to another :-) 20:29
how*. not of. duh.
lxmahyar Ven:Thanks for your time.
Ven well, if you're asking me how much fun I have, I'll always have time to tell you :-) 20:30
lxmahyar sure enough. 20:32
pmurias Ven: the link you posed seems broken 20:34
Ven oh, did I just add github.com before that. whoops :P 20:35
s/github\.com/http:\/\//
pmurias: learnxinyminutes.com/docs/perl6/
lxmahyar Ven: Tnx 20:36
pmurias is the flip flop operator important enough to put in the tutorial? 20:40
Ven pmurias: that tutorial is currently 1k2 lines long, and growing steadily. 20:42
It's already more than a mere "glimpse"
(there's a reason it's very much near the end, though) 20:43
pmurias you have to decide if you want to describe the whole setting or just a "chunk" of the language large enought to be productive 20:44
cognome Ven: "# Perl 6 has 4 variable types". I think you mean something like sigils are a way to denote roles. There are four of them : % for Associative @ for Positional and & for Code and $ for everything else. And that would omits the :: pseudosigil.
s/omits/omit/
pmurias why do we have both "? $foo" and "so $foo" 20:45
Ven pmurias: precedence, IIRC 20:46
cognome: that's too technical
pmurias Ven: one significant flow is that you describe the sort comparisions and not sort 20:47
Ven ha, that's an interesting point.
perl 6 methods aren't described anywhere, currently 20:48
nor should they be described in some "order", eh. 20:49
japhb cognome: & is Callable
$ implies itemized. \ implies nothing. 20:50
pmurias Ven: what do you mean by 'nor should they be described in some "order"'?
Ven pmurias: I don't want to have a listing of what methods List has, then Str, then .. 20:51
japhb (Well, that was imprecise, \ on a param name while binding means to not alter it by e.g. containerizing or itemizing)
pmurias Ven: so you shouldn't describe sort comparisions 20:52
they seem useless without a sort
20:53 telex left
Ven pmurias: they're not Array methods 20:53
you mean lt, gt and such, right?
pmurias <=>
<=>, cmp, eqv
Ven meh, it's kinda for completeness' sake, but I do need to explain sort here. 20:54
20:54 kaare_ left
japhb Way more useful to describe sort key extractors. 20:54
20:54 telex joined
japhb @people.sort(*.tenure) 20:54
Ven key extractors ? 20:55
japhb Ven: see ^^
Ven that's just priming
japhb Priming?
Ven and schwartzian transform
I'm answering that
japhb Yes, internally it should do a schwartzian transform. But there's no point in explaining that.
Ah, good. I haven't read the whole thing yet. :-) 20:56
pmurias Ven: completeness as in describing all the operators doesn't seem to be worth much in a tutorial
operators are just subs with a fancy syntax, and you aren't describing all the subs
20:57 chenryn left
Ven that's not my role. cmp, <=> and those should just stay at the end of the tutorial 20:57

ren1us I'll spend that half hour making sure *I* know what junctions do
Ven pmurias: tutorial.
pmurias I think you should consider slimming down some of the long lists of things 21:04
21:04 lxmahyar left
pmurias why mention quietly in a tutorial? 21:05
Ven Because it's intended to be very comprehensive.
I have another project of something that intends to read more like a book, but I first want to finish that tutorial to see where I'm going. 21:06
(that one will explain the key concepts, etc) 21:07
21:08 klaas-janstol left
pmurias why do you want a tutorial to be comprehensive? 21:08
lizmat japhb: re irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2014-08-14#i_9185907 , do you mean the (incomplete) list in the SYNOPSIS section?
Ven I might very well be misusing words here. It should first explain to you the basics, then go more in-depth. 21:09
I want to be able to look at it myself if I have a doubt someday
pmurias hmm, maybe it would make sense to split the list of everything part from the tutorial introduction 21:11
Ven probably so. Then again -- I'm very open to suggestions :-) 21:12
I'm not an experienced writer nor an experienced p6er. I'm just trying stuff out, we'll see how that works out! 21:13
japhb lizmat: No, the one under "All of the following functions are exported by default:" in the DESCRIPTION section
pmurias and having synopsis links for the giant list of things seems usefull 21:14
