skaji Hi! 00:15
If I create a promise (eg: my $p = start {...}), do I have to wait it (i.e. await $p)? Or can I safely ignore it?
As you know, if we use fork and create a child process, we have to wait it, otherwise it will exist as a defunct process. So I asked 00:16
00:22 pierre__ joined
babydrop skaji: safely ignore 00:22
skaji: I have 90% confidence in that answer :)
hm, 99% :) I just ran for ^1000 { start sleep 99999 } a few times and don't see any residuals in ps :) 00:24

maybe on a buggy (or 2.4 kernel) linux. threads are not processes
hm, but you might still leak threads in some sense, I guess. would that be a libuv bug, or are threads using POSIX APIs directly? 01:07
01:10 aborazmeh joined, aborazmeh left, aborazmeh joined
geekosaur POSIX threads do not necessarily have to be pthread_join()ed, it depends on the underlying implementation. in the old LinuxThreads hack, you did have to or you would leak clone()d processes 01:11
in 2.6 and later kernels I don't know offhand, much less other OSes 01:12
01:14 Celelibi joined 01:15 pierre__ left
babydrop ah 01:16
geekosaur some of them might leak only thread local storage, and for some of *those* that might just be malloc() blocks whose address was only "known" to that thread 01:17

geekosaur but if threads are an abstraction via libuv (which they might well be; Windows threads are not POSIX threads) then you'd need to know what libuv requires to properly clean up a thread, and maybe that is already being done

geekosaur however it's doing weird things internally to fake being a single Handle, which is probably why it fails
right it has no slurp-rest, probably because it can't
BenGoldberg s: $*ARGFILES, 'slurp' 01:38
SourceBaby BenGoldberg, Sauce is at github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/0428...es.pm#L124
geekosaur not the way it is currently implemented at least
lucasb for the record, locally IO::ArgFiles ~~ IO::Handle evaluates to true. camelia said False because of the restricted setting
geekosaur: my point is just in the inconsistency in naming 01:39
babydrop BenGoldberg: because .WHAT returns a type object, which when gisted shows only the shortname
Use .^name if you mean the name
lucasb I belive that $*IN.slurp-rest and $*ARGFILES.slurp works exactly the same

lucasb I mean, in this case, I had to be explicity inconsistent in methods names, because of the way the classes were written
geekosaur lucasb, those two do not, but ArgFiles slurp-rest could sanely be an alias for slurp
that is, slurp for ArgFiles is not the same as slurp for an actual Handle 01:41
lucasb yes, is slurps *all* the files
... in the argument list
geekosaur yes, which means it slurps them into a list and concatenates the list
(I hope that's lazy, or that's going to bite someone HARD at some point) 01:42
actually it slurp-rest-s them, but note that it is working on *multiple* handles, not just one
potentially
in the precise case of no parameters, yes, it is "exactly" the same. in any other case, it is not the same 01:43
tbrowder ok, anyone wanting a preview and chance to critique the 12 Dec P6 Advent can see my blog gist on github. 01:44
01:46 pierre__ joined
babydrop tbrowder: what's the URL? 01:47
BenGoldberg wonders how to concatenate a list lazily. 01:50
MasterDuke BenGoldberg: gather/take maybe? 01:51
geekosaur well, what it actually does is open every argument file and slurp-rest it, then reduce the resulting list with [~] 01:52
BenGoldberg Suppose I've got a Range, such as ^Inf. How would I produce the [~] of that Range, without things blowing up? 01:53
geekosaur I am afraid to ask what happens if someone does $*ARGFILES.slurp in a script passed several 1TB files :)
BenGoldberg thinks they get a frikkin big string. 01:54
babydrop BenGoldberg: produce to... what end?
I mean, you can't finish "producing" an infinite string. 01:55
I think the Cat type is supposed to be for something like that, innit?
01:55 kaare_ joined
babydrop Or FatCat 01:55
Yeah: design.perl6.org/S32/Containers.html multi cat ( @values --> Cat ) 01:56
Returns a Cat object, a concatenated version of the list that does the Str interface, but generates the string lazily to the extent permitted by the pattern of access to the string. 01:57

babydrop NIY
BenGoldberg The common term in computer science for a String-like class which actually contains a list of strings internally is a Rope.
01:59 lucasb left
BenGoldberg A Rope created by slurping an ArgFiles should be able to lazily (without reading every single file into memory) do anything a Str can do, *except* .chars, .ords, .rindex, .end-with, or other methods which naturally need the end of the string. 02:03
samcv is there any case you have ` = <` where the < is not the start of <this> style quoting? 02:10
can anybody think of any?
02:10 kalkin- joined
samcv need to make sure if i add this syntax highlighting rule that i don't accidently run highlighting for the entire rest of the document 02:11
geekosaur I think not, it would be Two Terms In A Row
samcv yeah that's what i thought
BenGoldberg m: say <$IO>;

BenGoldberg m: say <$*IO>;

geekosaur although... someone might conceivably come up with something, actually
BenGoldberg wonders if maybe that should produce a warning that you're trying to do a perl5-style readline. 02:12
samcv that sounds like it would have to check any < > quoted string to make sure it didn't have that? 02:13

camelia ( no output )
02:14 kalkin-_ left
geekosaur right, so several ways it could happen, none in stock rakudo 02:15
samcv damn.
BenGoldberg I think it's reasonable for syntax highlighters to ignore infix/prefix/etc subs. 02:16
samcv this is going to be hard to get that quoting working over multiple lines
my $foo = <* 5; this would match
hmm but that's not a stock operator though... hmm
BenGoldberg If you want it to work "perfectly", you'll have to actually parse the code the same way Rakudo does... 02:17
samcv my $swap = <-> $a, $b { ($a, $b) = ($b, $a) };
this though
though that's a special case I could add in since it's an operator. though it might already highlight as an operator, i'll have to check 02:18
geekosaur that one even if it misparses is safe, though
samcv yeah that one conflicts
geekosaur but I don't think <- can happen
samcv for sure
BenGoldberg Of course nothing prevents you from using STD.pm, and supplying your own actions object to generate highlighted text from the parse tree. 02:19
samcv atom doesn't support that though
it's basically regex based but you can have recursive rules and stuff
and include 'rules' that you create by name to apply to a matched section 02:20
BenGoldberg is guessing that this 'atom' of which you speak is not the 'atom' which competes with RSS.
samcv yesterday i got all the q/qq/Q quoting constricts generating from a script, where i have an array with a ton of quoting constricts heh
geekosaur atom.io
wannabe javascript's answer to emacs :p 02:21
samcv heh
geekosaur (ok, coffeescript...)
samcv i wish it wasn't based on electron but. i like it. and coding in vim is not fun
haha geekosaur
so i can trivially add new delimiters for both #`( and q( ). so that's great. will save me so much time
applying fixes to all of them, since Q qq and q all need seperate rules 02:22
but it uses ruby's regex engine, the oniguruma library for the syntax highlighting. and uses the same type grammars as textmate 02:23
though the file is in CSON instead of mac plist style xml
which idk if is a good thing. because having to escape things for all the regex twice sucks
i just have a from-json and to-json p6 executable using JSON::Tiny to unescape and reescape things 02:24
because you have the CSON escaping... then you have to do the escaping for the regex
and both have seperate things needing escaping
BenGoldberg So atom has node.js integrated into it... which means you can use node.js's child_process module to start external programs. Which means you can run perl6 from within atom! 02:25
samcv yep 02:26
02:26 pyrimidine joined
samcv i've never programmed node.js or javascript before though 02:26
tbrowder babydrop: gist.github.com/tbrowder/4d0091ca6...32fce640a7
samcv i might need to learn so i can make atom the best editor for perl 6
mostly just so there is some editor that is awesome for perl6 02:27
BenGoldberg Since perl6 can parse perl6 far more easily than atom can, why not run an external perl6 program to read and parse the file in the editor, and capture it's output?
02:27 pierre__ left
samcv that won't let me get syntax highlighing though.. since they're sorta seperate parts 02:28
the syntax grammars and the rest of it
plus that sounds slow :P
idk maybe there is someee way to do it but 02:29
BenGoldberg Hmm... so your highlighter is *only* allowed regex, and not arbitrary code? That sux.
02:29 seatek joined
samcv well. it works actually awesomely. but 02:29
would be nice if there were more things
BenGoldberg, check out the changelog github.com/samcv/language-perl6fe/...ANGELOG.md for the last 3 weeks i've been working on it 02:30
so sure it's not optimal.. but usually you can work around not being able to do anything non regex, since you can have subrules
though i wish it were documented better. partially learning as i go along 02:31
the biggest problem is not being able to do variable length lookbehind 02:34
tbqh
BenGoldberg is looking at your README.md, and your screenshots. Your font has a very strange way of showing @ 02:35
02:35 pierre__ joined
samcv i still don't know how i'm going to deal with not being able to do \s* positive lookbehind though 02:36
ahhh
though technically i could do (?=\s|\s\s|\s\s\s\s...) 02:37
i have been considering doing that actually.. unless somebody knows how to do such a thing in only rubyish regex 02:38
oh and i can't do \s*(capture here) either, because then the \s* gets included in the match :P
though i guess i 'could' highlight blankspace but that's kind of dumb 02:39
may interfere with other matches below it not sure

samcv which part of rakudo is running 'chdir'? it seems that bad things happen if the folder the shell is in does not exist 08:42
timotimo we don't chdir, because we are multithreaded and the cwd is a thing that only exists once per process 08:43
hm. at least we do that on the jvm
samcv err yeah i mean gets the current directory or whatever
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
timotimo oh, ok
samcv this is what i get running perl6 -e
timotimo we do actually have chdir in moarvm
samcv yeah there should be some check to make sure the directory exists before trying to do something to it. it assumes the cwd exists 08:44
and just either prints an error out or just goes into a loop
of error messages
timotimo hm. we don't allow you to chdir into something that doesn't exist, right? 08:45
at what point should we do the check for current-directory-existingness?
samcv at least when it starts
not sure if it will error if you delete the cwd while it's running
i'm guessing not. but at least startup sounds important 08:46
timotimo ok so the test plan is "mkdir remove-this; cd remove-this; rm -r ~/remove-this; perl6 -e 'say q/hi/'"?
samcv yeah
timotimo timo@schmand ~/delete-this> rm -rf ~/delete-this/ 08:47

you can run python, irb etc and have no issues. that shell-init eror is just one generated by the shell, but the shell continues to operate fine

samcv something i just discovered is that Linenoise doesn't support unicode either 11:55
moritz has no idea
samcv though readline does
if you try and backspace a unicode char with too many bytes it just totally garbles the whole line, and pressing enter will get malformed utf errors 11:56
rlwrap or readline work fine tho
timotimo yeah, we can make linenoise do pretty "funny" things with backspace ;( 11:57
samcv i'm not sure, i don't have a linenoise package on my system installed other than the p6 module. does it include linenoise with it? i thought it didn't
and was just bindings but 11:58
11:58 lukaramu joined
timotimo i think the linenoise perl6 package brings source code it compiles along with it 11:58
samcv oh it does seem to have the .so file in the module
well there's a utf-8 fork of linenoise
AlexDaniel … just use readline then? :) 11:59
samcv haha
but then no tab completion
and Linenoise is in Star right?
not readline?
timotimo um, don't we have tab completion in linenoise? 12:01
samcv that's what i meant 12:03
AlexDaniel, said to use readline then :P
timotimo don't we also have tab completion in readline?
samcv gonna try out the utf-8 fork
no
timotimo damn it :< 12:04
AlexDaniel hmmm… tab completion of what?
pmurias why doesn't linenoise accept utf-8 by default? 12:05
AlexDaniel actually, readline functionality is gone now…
ahhh no 12:06

moritz it disambiguates ambiguous dispatches
pmurias babydrop: that's what fooling around with WordPress leads to ;) 13:24
jnthn If a multi-dispatch is about to report an ambiguous dispatch error, it checks if any of them have the is default trait. If that gets it down to 1 candidate, it chooses that one.

mr_ron babydrop: (hopefully reaching right person) In Subset::Helper the message is 'note'd and sort of wondered why use of 'say' instead of 'note' for say ’This ain't no website containing "Perl 6"!‘; # guessing not that important 13:58
... referring to advent post

mr_ron seems like same use case I guess 14:00
babydrop mr_ron: I've just used `say` in the article because I knew it'll show up twice, will be LTA and I'd suggest a die instead. Last commit to Subset::Helper was half a year ago, when I barely knew Perl 6, so I've used a warning.... because I guess I thought throwing in it was bad? 14:03

Technaton I always thought that the UTF-8 characters-as-methods were a funny byproduct of Perl6 being full UTF-8-aware, but after reading Day 7 of the perl 6 advent calendar, I am not so sure anymore. How do you type ∈ without copying it from the character table application? :) 14:05

moritz Tex2Perl6!
Technaton I guess I need to read up on xmodmap.
babydrop Technaton: I've met a few people who use weird unicode stuff liberally in just normal conversations... 14:10
So I guess if you can be bothered to select what you use, typing that stuff can be trivial
pmurias "bothered to select what you use"? 14:13
what does that mean?
moritz somebody goes to effort to look up some Unicode characters that they want to use 14:15
then they find an input method that works for those
babydrop pmurias: if you pre-configure some keys to type chars you like to use
moritz nobody regularly uses the whole Unicode repertoire
AlexDaniel Technaton: do you know about compose key?
Technaton: that's what you should configure
Technaton AlexDaniel: Yes, I know the compose key; I use it regularly for accented characters such as 'é'. 14:16
I never know I could use it to coax X into emitting unicode symbols, such as ⅔.

currently moar gets a bit confused when there's more than one thread

i haven't had a good look at the memory region stuff since it was added 15:55
dogbert17_ and why does a simple say statement make the problem go away
timotimo well, this is all about the layout of frames on the stack 15:58
perlpilot AlexDaniel: Are you pushing people to apply for TPF grants? (you can do that anyway, whether there's 10k just sitting around or not :-) 15:59
timotimo you're adding a call to something, so at least one more frame gets added to the stack
AlexDaniel perlpilot: I have never thought there is enough money that somebody could possibly consider asking for extra 10k on top of 37k he gets for some work already 16:00
16:01 Actualeyes left
perlpilot Regardless of what bdf is asking for, the TPF does have funding that people can apply for. 16:02
Didn't Karen secure a large donation before she stepped down as president? 16:03
babydrop perlpilot: and yet makk was here a few months ago saying there's trouble getting funding for marketing stuff or something?
AlexDaniel what does it mean? Is it some kind of infinite resource or what?
perlpilot AlexDaniel: infinite? no. But small, finite and mandated to fund Perl projects, yes.
babydrop perlpilot: I'm under the impression the TPF doesn't have a ton of funding (for Perl 6). So saying "anyone can apply for it" to me rings with "...to replace the current work being"
being done 16:04
being funded
16:04 dj_goku joined
dogbert17_ hopes timotimo figures it out 16:06
timotimo well, it's already acting very funny to say the least
babydrop In fact, if you read the Perl 6 specific fund it actually states its initial objective is to fund jnthn++'s work: www.perlfoundation.org/perl_6_core_...pment_fund
And in eligibility it states "To be eligible the applicant must be a contributor to Perl 6." 16:07
jnthn I don't think the application was filed against that fund, though?
iiuc it was filed as a general grant
16:09 dj_goku left
jnthn Looks that way from reading it, anyways 16:09
babydrop Well, I've no idea Perl 6 work could be funded by some "general grant". 16:10

using a region at 0xcac8830; going from 0x61cb518 (0xcac8c30) to 0xcae8830
here's where it asplodes
jnthn I'm sure somebody can correct me on the details if they know better, but so far as I understand it TPF both has a general grants process for any Perl related thing, which is operated on a quarterly process or something 16:12
timotimo jnthn: what you see here is the address of the allocated blob (i.e. where the CallStackRegion lives), the current alloc pointer, the poister to the very first alloc in parenthesis and the alloc_limit at the end
jnthn Together with targetted grants programs that have their own rules
timotimo jnthn: got a clue how the alloc pointer might be able to jump backwards to a previous region?
babydrop jnthn: noted
jnthn Such as the Perl 6 dev fund that funds my work, and the Perl 5 Core Maint Fund
timotimo there's only one thread ...
jnthn timotimo: Well, it jumps backwards when you exit that region, no? 16:13
timotimo: That is, when you pop the last callframe in the second region off the call stack, you should find yourself back in the first again 16:14
timotimo ah
maybe in that case we sometimes don't change the alloc limit properly
ah, yes
callstack_region_prev never changes the alloc_limit 16:15
uh
derp. it shouldn't
using a region at 0xcac8830; going from 0xcae8830 (0xcac8c30) to 0xcae8830 16:18
panic! we destroyed a frame on(?) the callstack and fell out of it! 16:19
using a region at 0xcac8830; going from 0x61cb518 (0xcac8c30) to 0xcae8830
for some reason we're calling frame_destroy on a non-promoted stack frame that's not on our currently active region
jnthn Is it really non-promoted, or is it considered so because it was promoted and the memory got zeroed? 16:22
timotimo i can have a look
jnthn (That is, is its address in the region)
That MVM_gc_debug_find_region could help you know if it's in a fromspace somewhere

tbrowder ref advent calendar: i've seen the bad reports here about wordpress, and i have babydrop's gistmd2html code and i'm ready to create my draft. some questions first: 1. Can we see the actual format of a good looking entry somewhere? (I see slightly varying formats for the entries so far.) 2. Does the author add "Day N -- {$title}" or just "{$title}"?
3. Will I see a good (as published) preview before publishing?
timotimo it's not completely nulled
perlpilot tbrowder: 3. yes. 2. normally the author adds, but I don't know with the script. 16:27
tbrowder: and for completeness 1. dunno :-)
timotimo FWIW, the frame it points to via its ->caller is also at a wildly different address from the currently active stack region 16:28
and its flags are also 0
babydrop tbrowder: (1) here's the markup generated by the script that I simply pasted into Wordpress's HTML box: gist.github.com/zoffixznet/64de2db...366604121e which is for this entry: perl6advent.wordpress.com/2016/12/...ggy-types/ 16:30
pmurias babydrop: re problem founding marketing AFAIR the big problem with that is getting a grant for every small expense is a lot of trouble
babydrop tbrowder: (2) Yes, add the Day N — (3) yes, there's two ways of viewing the previes. First is the "previe in the editor" and once you schedule your post, you can go to scheduled posts and there'll be anotehr preview button that will lead to a proper-looking page with your article preview 16:31

[Coke] jnthn: is correct. there are specific funds that can only fund certain things. (Hague grant. Core perl 5. Core Perl 6). grants for these go through a process that in the past, went through Karen. There is also the grants committee, which handles non-specific grants; there is no requirement that they be perl 5 or perl 6. Just that they benefit the perl community. 17:01

b7j0c i've been playing with them in code and i'm ready to put them in the "considered harmful" basket

babydrop b7j0c: it's by design. They're native types. You get same overflows in C (sans whatever bugs we still have in our natives)
geekosaur b7j0c, I think the intended use case is with e.g. NativeCall, where conformance with the actual platform behavior is a feature
jdv79 i think my load issue is just running a few threads of kinda not well performing code 18:17

jdv79 pretty sure it doesn't need to peg a core to fetch some rss and parse out some bits
babydrop ^ another location where overflows work 18:18
geekosaur the whole point of the more abstract types is to avoid the native behavior of native types; you use native types when you need the native behavior or you need to interface with code using native types
18:19 Sgeo joined
b7j0c what is the "native behavior of native types"? 18:19
HoboWithAShotgun what's the reasoning behind the existence of "$obj.method: args" and why does moritz call it "idiomatic"?
babydrop HoboWithAShotgun: as opposed to what? 18:20
That's a way to call a method with some args in Perl 6.
HoboWithAShotgun as opposed to object.method(args)"
babydrop eww gross
HoboWithAShotgun: well, the : way is less typing and less reading. So sure, I'd say it's idiomatic to use it frequently at the end of the chain. 18:21
HoboWithAShotgun i find it really hard to parse
babydrop The only point I found it's LTA is when it's followed by a block, like whenever $foo.grep: /x/ { blah blah }
geekosaur b7j0c, what the CPU does 18:22
but that question in and of itself makes me think you are missing the point
b7j0c what CPU?
geekosaur ...
pmurias b7j0c: the CPU the code is running on
babydrop b7j0c: the processor that's executing the code.
b7j0c no i get that, but i guess i am probing a bit as to some expectation of a particular platform working in a certain way 18:23
geekosaur b7j0c, yes it is absolutely possible to make Perl 6 treat even those types the way it does its own types.
b7j0c maybe next week a CPU works differently
babydrop HoboWithAShotgun: it's especially helpful with nested stuff: .grep(*.contains("foo")) vs .grep(*.contains: 'foo') or even .grep: *.contains: 'foo'
geekosaur b7j0c, you've just landed in the C-flavored soup that is why autoconf/cmake/etc. exist
it's a complete mess with very few guarantees. unfortunately it's also the only way you can interface with non-Perl code 18:24
HoboWithAShotgun ok, but now i want to call a method on that
geekosaur (barring things like ASN.1 --- which is its own kind of absolute mess)
babydrop HoboWithAShotgun: put parens on! :) 18:25
b7j0c yeah, i suppose what i wish was perl6 had more types beyond Int/Uint...i know you can make subsets, but it would have been nice for Uint8, Uint16 etc to be already there
babydrop HoboWithAShotgun: where is moritz calling it idomatic BTW?
b7j0c or at the very least, a Byte type
very handy in Go for example 18:26
HoboWithAShotgun here: perlgeek.de/blog-en/perl-6/
babydrop b7j0c: and what would they do instead of overflowing? Throw an exception?
b7j0c yes, imho
thats what subsets do, right?
babydrop b7j0c: well, IMO it's a trivial module to make. In fact, this stuff might already be in Subsets::Common
18:26 pyrimidine left
b7j0c yes, i wrote that 18:27
babydrop b7j0c: yeah, the subset of UInt where * < 255; is .....
b7j0c but i wish it wasn't needed
babydrop ... well, then you know it better than I :)
[Coke] I do like that the p5 advent is all christmas themed. I may have already said that.
18:27 pyrimidine joined
geekosaur notes that the Haskell equivalent types also don't bother with such. mostly because the primary use cases end up being talking to C or to the network and you're going to land in native types at some point either way 18:27
babydrop b7j0c: well, we can't pack up every thing in the universe into core Perl 6 in case someone decides typing half a line of code is too much work ;) 18:28
geekosaur (well, also because doing it properly needs more than Haskell. that's more Agda level types)
b7j0c true but Haskell also lets you trivially define types as I have in Subsets::Common that are first-class citizens
subsets i see as second-class citizens
[Coke] ... why?
b7j0c runtime checked instead of compile? 18:29
babydrop HoboWithAShotgun: I think you misread moritz's article. It says "you can write .method() as .method:"... and then goes on with "idiomatic form of the small Sudoku formatter", which uses both versions
b7j0c i mean, they really aren't types at all, more like sugar on functions
[Coke] rakudo does what it can at compile time, and the rest and run time. doesn't mean more stuff won't move to compile time later.
b7j0c that would be awesome!@
tbrowder [Coke] and moritz: the complete draft is there now
[Coke] rest *at* runtime 18:30
pmurias babydrop: aren't checked sized types much more efficent when integrated into the compiler?
[Coke] tbrowder: ok. meeting 3-4 that I have to actually prep for, will look this evening. ping me if you don't hear back.
AlexDaniel and if I recall correctly there is no guarantee that subset checks are run time
babydrop right
They will be compile time if it can be done, as I recall jnthn++ saying 18:31
b7j0c that would be a game changer
AlexDaniel b7j0c: oh, you sound like a right person to work on this!
b7j0c i'm too much of an idiot
AlexDaniel bummer
tbrowder [Coke] will do--no rush i think, draft is saved (whew!). i assume one shouldn't schedule it until all tweaks are done? 18:32

geekosaur .oO 99 bugs in the code in the node... take one down, patch it around, 101 bugs in the code in the node 20:10
pmurias babydrop: which bug are you chasing down?
pmurias considers fixing up the InvalidCharacter exceptions 20:11
babydrop pmurias: already chased. first without matcher forgets about adverbs, but as I was writing the test I noticed sink Failure doesn't explode it, while Failure.sink does 20:12
well, I assume it's a bug and not some weird feature :P

babydrop That's why sink Failure.new doesn't explode, it ends up calling .eager 20:33

vcv_ ok, I'm missing something very obvious here... 23:31

camelia ( no output )
TimToady lists are immutable, arrays are not
vcv_ Thanks. Brain fart. 23:34
TimToady more precisely, an array will have assignable intermediate containers, while a list will have just whatever was in the list
vcv_ and if i had used scalars in place of literals, i would have been able to assign? 23:35
TimToady yes
vcv_ Thank you.

samcv where should I look for the code in perl6 that matches left and right delimiters? Pi => 'Pf' or Ps => 'Pe'; for unicode. such as in #`( or q{} things? 23:55
vcv_ What's the syntax for getting the last n elements of an array/list? @array[..*-n], @array[*-n..*] neither work 23:56
samcv for each Pi codepoint not all the matching Pf ones are 1 codepoint higher, so curious what it uses to find the paired ones
vcv_, you want the .tail method 23:58
brrt timotimo: perl6advent.wordpress.com/?p=5675
but, i'm going to hit the publish button; my own damn fault for being late :-)
timotimo brrt: odd line break in the first line 23:59
vcv_ darn, was hoping for a syntax using subscript. ok thanks
