raydiak Is it intentional that modules cannot be loaded from a directory containing a META6.json? Whether using "raku -I" or "use lib", trying to "use" or "require" a module by name fails. Passing the filename with extension to require at runtime works, though. Deleting META6.json also gets rid of the problem. 01:33
guifa2 raydiak: hrm, I haven't had that problem. Are you using 'raku -I lib' or just 'raku -I' ? 01:36
raydiak guifa2: I was doing some temporary things in the root of a module, so I copied something to the root of the module and tried to include it with "-I.". This fails if there is a META6.json in the same directory 01:39
guifa2: in an empty dir try this: echo "{}" > META6.json && echo > Foo.rakumod && raku -I. -e 'use Foo' 01:43
01:43 zacts left
raydiak You'll get a warning about no name being declared in META6.json, but it's irrelevant to the behavior. You can just as easily echo '{"name":""}' > META6.json to silence the warning, I just omitted it for berevity. Either way, "use Foo" fails. 01:48
01:48 zacts joined
guifa2 Hmm. That's probably a question for ugexe or someone who does more with the module integration. I'd just keep everything in a lib/ folder and -Ilib in the meantime — it's never failed me (fwiw) 02:00

raydiak Thanks for trying anyway. That is how I typically structure them, just stumbled across this while doing temporary work on a copy of a file, trying to narrow down some bitrot in one of my modules. Just trying to decide if that's somehow intentional or if I should report it as a bug. 02:05

lizmat raydiak: yes, if a directory that is indicated with -I if "use lib" has a META6.json file in it, it *will* be taken as authoritative 09:17
so, if the file you'd want to use is not in it, it won't be found 09:18
this was done specifically so that files could benefit from things like $?RESOURCES and such
if I recall correctly 09:19
perhaps we should introduce an environment variable to override this behaviour

yuplushi in the comma ide, is there a way to show documentation inline, like "string".trim() and give a summary of what trim does? 11:17
or even jump to the source definition inside the raku standard library 11:18
11:19 xinming left 11:20 xinming joined
sena_kun yuplushi, yes. You can hover the method name with a ctrl pressed to get short info or Ctrl+Q (in emacs layout, maybe it's different in default) to get full info. 11:21
yuplushi, just tested it works (at least in dev build :) ).
yuplushi, yup, just Ctrl+Q and it'll give you docs for what it can. `"foo".trim` case you mentioned works. 11:22

oddp Alright, thanks. So, that means there's no RFC-like process where members of the community discuss and vote on certain proposals? 17:32
17:32 vrurg left
oddp Let's say I wake up one morning and decide to put forward an outrageously brilliant (highly unlikely) idea for the language. There gotta be more to it than just implementing a POC and then bothering/spamming people in the dev channel about it, right? Who would shoot it down further down the line? 17:38
lizmat ah, for that we have the problem-solving repo 17:39

but please read github.com/raku/problem-solving first :-)
oddp Thanks, liz. Don't worry, I'm not going to waste your time on there with my brain farts. Just want to observe the language evolution. :) 17:45
Just like I skim every new language proposal for each new c++ standard.
lizmat oddp: you could look through the current proposals... perhaps that gives some inspiration 17:46
oddp But say, how did zoffix in the past decide what makes it into previous iterations of the language? And is that now j0nathan's job entirely?
lizmat good questions... expect some answers soon 17:49

codesections Here's a syntax question: If I have a data structure with the shape [ [Int, Str], [Int, Str], …], how do I write a signature constraint to require that the passed argument consists of an array of arrays of Strs and Ints ? 19:02
I tried `Array @variable-name (Array (Int, Str))` and many variations along those same lines, but haven't quite figured it out. I also tried `where` blocks and/or subsets, but haven't gotten that to work yet either 19:04
19:04 rindolf left
lizmat do you have a sub / method that ensures validty ? 19:05
alternately, why the [Int,Str] ? wouldn't it make sense to make that an object ?
codesections Oh, you mean write a separate sub that checks for the required shape and then call that from a `where` block? 19:06
lizmat that would be an idea, yeah ?
but more performant would probably be turning the [Int,Str] into an object 19:07
then you could check for an array with a constraint on that object
codesections I probably would make it an object (or at least a different data structure). But I'm working through an exercise and that's the shape my input data is in. But I mostly just wanted to make sure I understood how to use the type system/signature constraints
lizmat so you wouldn't have to traverse the whole array every time
codesections yeah
lizmat so instead of proving all elements are right, only check the type of the array and know it cannot have any different objects 19:08

timotimo i'm not really an expert in homoiconicity, so maybe my understanding is wrong or too shallow, but i don't think that's the right word for this context? 21:55
or is that more like "lisp is homoiconic and its representation is extremely simple" vs "raku is homoiconic and its representation is very complex"?
tadzik 3> arguments to functions are immutable by default 21:56
that's a bit of a stretch, innit :)
timotimo true, there's no "deep immutability"
faiface yeah, learned about that later :D but at first I tried to pass an array to a function and mutate it and it didn't work, so I assumed as much 21:57
timotimo m: my @a = 1, 2; sub frob(@x) { @x = 9, 9, 9 }; frob(@a); say @a

sorry, I'm a newbie 21:59
regarding that homoiconicy tho, I think the guy made up the terms "maximally homoiconic", etc. I don't think those are real terms 22:01
rypervenche It's definitely a word :) en.wiktionary.org/wiki/homoiconic
faiface homoiconic yes 22:02
I meant his addition of "maximally" and "minimally"
timotimo the wiktionary page of homoiconicity says the program is supposed to be in a "primitive type" of the language itself
rypervenche I'd say that the community here is maximally awesome.
timotimo if it didn't say "the primary representation of programs" i would say "you can load a moarvm bytecode file into an Int" 22:03

oddp Still not quite sure how that's "more" homoiconic, but CL also has readtable patching via reader macros, allowing for funky language shenanigans. 22:46
But let's not drift off, I see where you are coming from.
