| Xliff | How R U btw? | 00:28 | |
| I appreciate your willingness to try my software, but for now it works only for Ubuntu | 00:29 | ||
| I don't have library data on other distributions | |||
| If you are NOT on ubuntu. Would appreciate the names for the following libs: glib, gio, gobject, pango, gdk and gtk+3 | 00:30 | ||
| ab5tract | Xliff: sure, I'll give it a try | 01:21 | |
| I'm a long-time Linux user that de-camped to macOS last year | |||
| gtk is notoriosly unsupported over here, but that's as good a reason to give it a try as any | 01:30 | ||
| jdv | www.reddit.com/r/programming/comme..._creators/ | 02:03 | |
| perl 6 and raku were created by people of different ages?:) | 02:04 | ||
| antononcube | @jdv Yeah, but just different middle ages. | 02:16 | |
| Hmm... I can make a better version of that graph in Raku. | 02:20 | ||
| And an even better one in Mathematica. | |||
| jdv | what do you mean about middle ages? | 02:23 | |
| antononcube | Maturity of the creator(s), I guess... And that the average age Raku users is 56. | 02:26 | |
| jdv | the graph is about creator age. not user age. | ||
| the age of the creator or perl 6 and raku are both the same cause they are the same thing and it was larry | 02:27 | ||
| *of | |||
| antononcube | I know it is about the creator age. I am basically saying "made by old people for old people." | 02:33 | |
| ugexe | Larry wasn’t the same age when he created each | 03:07 | |
| Oh wait I thought it was Perl and Raku, not Perl 6 and Raku 😬 | 03:08 | ||
| antononcube | This is what I got (so far) using "JavaScripdt::D3": | 03:42 | |
| cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/633...e8bac& | |||
| I have to mark bubble charts more “tunable” when it comes to labels colors and font sizes . | 03:51 | ||
| Probably the correlation of age-at-creation vs appeared vs rank is more interesting. | 03:57 | ||

| Xliff | antoncube: Can you send me that data set? | 04:51 | |
| Ah! datawrapper.dwcdn.net/rT0yG/1/ -- There is a link at the bottom to get the .csv | 04:57 | ||
| librasteve | according to the data, Larry was 33 when he released perl - so smack in the middle of the Gaussian | 05:30 | |
| if raku is to continue to thrive, we need to appeal to a new generation of coders … there’s a renaissance of languages for them to try Nim or Elm or Zig or Roc instead | 05:51 | ||
| holmdunc | Elm is a bit moribund already and fading away. Doubt many teenagers use it | 06:53 | |
| Though that's due to the idiosyncratic stonewall way the project is managed, not a reflection of the language features | 07:02 | ||
| patrickb | m: "a".lines | 08:21 | |
| camelia | ( no output ) | ||
| patrickb | m: dd "a".lines | ||
| camelia | ("a",).Seq | ||
| patrickb | m: dd "".lines | 08:22 | |
| camelia | ().Seq | ||
| patrickb | Is this a bug or a feature? | ||
| (The empty string returning no lines instead of an empty line.) | |||
| roast has no test covering this. | 08:40 | ||
| lizmat | m: dd "".split("\n") | 08:42 | |
| camelia | ("",).Seq | ||
| lizmat | good question | 08:43 | |
| it's at least consistent with "foo".IO.lines where "foo" is an empty file | 08:44 | ||
| antononcube | @Xliff The provided TSV file is with incomplete lines. So, I cheated — I imported it in R first and exported it as “full lined” CSV. (It was too late at night for me to make an ad hoc proper importer.) That R importing introduced zeroes for missing data — so, the plots I pasted above can be misleading. | 09:09 | |
| patrickb | Datapoint the current behavior of Str.lines makes the following necessary: github.com/patrickbkr/Terminal-Wid...026efd1d40 | 09:13 | |
| lizmat | you can also write that as if $.text and the code blocks reversed | 09:15 | |
| patrickb | i.e. mapping lines of text will always return a list, except for the empty string where it returns nil | ||
| lizmat | fwiw, I'm afraid changing it to produce an empty string, might break quite a bit of code | ||
| patrickb: alternately, you could use .split("\n") | 09:17 | ||
| patrickb | In any case this should be roasted and doced. | 09:20 | |
| lizmat | and offered split(/ <?after \n> /) for the !chomp alternative | 09:38 | |
