moritz fwiw I have a very good use case for a codepoint-based strings 06:10
JSON::Tiny had a bug where it didn't parse a string delimiter because it was followed by a combining character 06:11
having a codepoint-based string that I could do grammars on would have been the right fix 06:12
instead I had to do a very ugly workaround with :ignoremark and later extract the combining character in the action method

jnthn ShimmerFairy: I was thinking more along the lines of introducing a .subuni and so that way you always know which units you are using and what you expect to get back. Also mirrors having .chars and .codes. I think ultimately we want them supported by the runtime's string subsystem rather than the current VMArray-based REPR of them, though... 09:19

How goes RakuAST?
gfldex is there any way to force a segfault with Rakudo? 09:46
jnthn Xliff: Moving along steadily. I'm currently working through designing/implementing the RakuAST nodes for regexes. 09:48
gfldex: Well, nativecall and pass a junk pointer somewhere I guess will do it :) 09:49
m: use NativeCall; sub free(Pointer) is native {*}; free(Pointer.new(1))
camelia (signal SEGV)
gfldex tyvm that is just what I need. 09:50
I need to test error handling with Proc::Async and a segfault is as good as errors can get. :)
Xliff jnthn: Oh, excellent! 09:52
jnthn: Will RakuAST::Regex be able to walk the AST and rebuild the regex string? 09:55
09:57 sena_kun1 left
jnthn Xliff: I've not really thought about going back in that direction... Do you have a use case? 09:57
Xliff jnthn: Not a practical one, as yet. 09:58
However I have been working with native code and GLib has a GRegex class: developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/gl...sions.html
jnthn OK. I didn't really have one either aside from a Perl-alike deparse thingy 09:59
Xliff And I have been wondering about interoperability with Perl5 and Perl6 regexs
10:00 BuildTheRobots left, ChoppedBacon left
Xliff jnthn: Is EVAL the only way to evaluate string containing a regex (including metachars)? 10:00
Or would that be a better question posed to moritz?
jnthn Well, if you're embedding it in a regex, you'd do /<$regex-string>/

EVAL is a very dangerous function!!! (use the MONKEY-SEE-NO-EVAL pragma
to override this error but only if you're VERY sure your data contains
no injection attacks).

Have to use EVAL
jjatria I was surprised yesterday to realise that IO::Notification::Changed objects have a `.path` attribute that returns a Str rather than an IO.Path. Is there a reason for this? 10:09
I had to use an awkward looking `.path.path` 10:10
sena_kun jjatria, hmm, not `.path.IO`?
I think you can argue it either way, but Str is probably cheaper and not always you want to have a IO::Path object, sometimes just path is enough. 10:11
jjatria sena_kun: I didn't think about it at the time. `.path.IO` does look better 10:12
I think I was just surprised that it would return a Str, but I guess I can see why that is
jnthn Honestly, I suspect oversight more than anything, though. 10:14
lizmat yeah, IO::Path in that sense is a bit of a mess 10:20
jjatria Maybe it's for consistency with IO::Path.path, which returns a Str? 10:21
lizmat m: dd $*CWD.^name
camelia "IO::Path"
lizmat so, an IO::Path stores a $*CWD value (which is an IO::Path) as a Str :-)
10:23 matiaslina left, matiaslina joined
jjatria Is this something that we'd be willing to change? If so, I'd love to take a stab at it 10:24
lizmat jjatria: be careful what you're getting yourself set up for 10:28
10:28 rindolf left
jnthn It's one of those "in principle yes, but we don't have the mechanism for doing it with back-compat yet", I think. 10:29
lizmat I think the best thing would be to actually create a module that takes on IO::Path's functionality
jjatria I thought hubris was a requirement :P
lizmat and then by the time the newdisp branch has landed, we could think of integrating it as a language version change
jnthn: would that assessment be correct ? 10:30
10:30 markong joined 10:32 rindolf joined
jnthn lizmat: tbh, I'm not sure there'd be much of a module to write here, but yes, waiting until we have the means to do that (and somehow not forgetting...) makes sense. 10:37
And I suspect new-disp will be involved in the solution 10:39

camelia 7
elcaro or you could declare it and call it in one go 11:48
m: say (-> $a, $b { $a + $b })(3, 4)
camelia 7
elcaro but a lambda this simple could be defined as `* + *`

pilne odd question, but here goes nothing! 13:40
can i use rakubrew to install raku to a usb stick for portable funzies? 13:41
dakkar probably? I think the main problem might be if full pathnames are stored somewhere 13:42
I say try it and see 13:43
(it's going to be easier and faster than reading all the source involved ☺)
pilne the part that "worries" me is that it says to change the location of where it puts the files, i need to modify .bashrc or the equivalent (so i'm assuming "environment variables" on win10) 13:44
tadzik heh, your nickname means "urgent" in polish O)
pilne lol!
never knew that
i just almalgamated pi, ln, and e :D
dakkar pilne: well yes, you need to change PATH at least
jnthn tadzik: Curious, in Czech it's more like "diligent" :) 13:45
pilne i should open a ticket asking for that to be something that can be changed in the program and not as an environment variable. 13:46
dakkar pilne: no, that's not possible
your command interpreter / shell has a list of places where it looks for programs to run 13:47
tadzik jnthn: huh, I didn't know the czechs were such false friends ;)
dakkar the only way to have it look in another place is to tell it
and due to the way processes and environment variables work, a program executed from the shell can't change stuff inside the shell itself
13:48 guifa2 joined
pilne yeah 13:48
i just have most of my free time to program these days during lulls at work
but anything i want to use has to run off of a usb stick for reasons :D
13:49 rbt left
pilne things like zerobrane (for lua) and strawberry perl work just fine (swi-prolog too with the portableapps.com version). 13:49
13:49 rbt joined
pilne but i'm assuming that raku is significantly more complicated due to it also having a vm. 13:49
dakkar how do you run strawberry from the command line?
(no, it should work very much the same way) 13:50
pilne i installed strawberry on the stick at home, and it just works when i launch it's dedicated shortcut to a "perl cmd window"
dakkar aha!
that's your trick
that "perl cmd window" sets the environment up for you
look at how that works, and do the same thing for your "portable raku" 13:51
pilne so, the concept would be to manually make a folder with the moarvm/raku on the usb stick
and then a shortcut like that one
dakkar "manually"… I'd let rakubrew make it
but yes
pilne so, install rakubrew
open a window, set the rakubrew_home variable 13:52
even if temporarily
install it to the stick
13:52 luci666 is now known as lucifer_h
pilne and then use the strawberry perl one as a template 13:52
dakkar that should be very close to everything you need, I think
pilne 104
errr 10-4
dakkar oh, also: write an article explaining what you did ☺
so that lizmat can include it in the weekly 13:53
pilne :D
dakkar even (especially) if there complicated parts, or if it doesn't work!
known problems are much easier to fix that unknown ones
pilne ngl, i'm still damn infatuated with prolog, but that's only driven me to try and make a "inline::Prolog" kinda thing, or just a grammar that "kinda" does some prolog-y things. 13:54
declarative/logic is an interesting paradigm, like all the others it has some areas where it makes things stupidly simple, and others where i sit around wondering what the fucking mess of code i wrote is going to do when trying to do something that would be "simple" in raku/perl/lua/scheme (my 13:56
non-prolog loves)
tyvm for the brain food
hopefully i can give it a whirl later today
dakkar keep the channel informed!

patrickb dakkar, pilne: It's actually really simple to get raku running off a USB stick. You don't need rakubrew for that. 14:20
Download one of the precompiled releases from rakudo.org/downloads They are all relocatable.
pilne O.o 14:21
patrickb They do contain a script in /scripts/set-env.bat/sh that will set the PATH variable in your current shell.
pilne zef will behave too?
patrickb Yet, it will.
*Yes
pilne mind blown
dakkar dammit, no new article then!
😁 14:22
pilne even on windows huh (i noticed your script reference was in *nix style)
patrickb dakkar: An article still be a good idea, as obviously noone in the last half an hour or so knew about this (I don't count as I'm responsible for all the relocatability stuff) 14:23
So if you are actually thinking about an article, please do write about it!
Have to leave. o/ 14:25

pilne so the process has changed to "download this relatively small zip folder, extract it to my usb, and then figure out the magic going on in the strawberry perl cmd shortcut and apply my knowledge :D" 14:25
14:27 sena_kun left
pilne now for the elephant in the room though, can comma run off a usb stick? 14:33
dakkar again, probably? try ☺ 14:34
pilne if no, i don't mind using a basic text editor for my dabblings at work :D
well, it takes a lot of time to try usually, since i do the install at home, and test it at work :D
dakkar I don't have any Windows machine, so I can't really say if/how it will work for you 14:35
pilne hehe
i only went back to windows to game better with the gf, our "at home quality time" often consists of pvp in world of warcraft (: i really do miss having my linux boxes setup too. 14:36
dakkar on a linux box, I'd expect it to JustWork™, regardless of the path where I'd unpack the tarball
14:36 dataangel left
dakkar a thing that will probably not magically work on windows is file association 14:37
but last time I looked at how that was implemented, we were still running 98 and NT3
pilne i don't really need file association for what i'm doing at work, as long as i can open comma, and point it at the files it needs, it should just work 14:38
jnthn pilne: On Linux, I think comma off USB stick probably just works out, because it runs wherever you unpack the tarball. For Windows, I'm not sure, but there's a decent chance it'll work out too. 14:39
pilne the day can't come too soon that i can have at least two computers and 3 monitors setup :D 14:40
but thanks for the reassurance that it's at least worth a shot jnthn (: 14:41

lucs Speaking of squares, I've never noticed anyone observing the totally useless fact that the number of RFCs that were submitted for the Perl 6 design happens to be 19 squared, the number of intersections on a Go board. 16:47

lucs I'm using urxvt in Linux, but a lot Unicode glyphs just show up as '�'. 21:08
What should I be doing to try to fix that?
lizmat update your support of unicode? 21:10
looks like it is a few versions behind ?
21:10 cpan-raku left, rbt left
lucs Yeah, I guess, but I'm not sure where that happens exactly :/ 21:11

lucs I suppose it's a terminal font or something. 21:11

[Coke] I did a google search (dont use urxvt) and there were some very hopeful responses there. 21:12
lucs Oh, hmm...
So I'd need a different terminal emulator?

lucs [Coke]: "(dont use urxvt)": is that your personal recommendation or what google appears to suggest? 21:17
oddp_ Yeah, I gave in and ditched urxvt a while ago. Maintainer is sitting on so many patches for years now. The color patch especially.
lucs oddp_: What do you use?
oddp_ Fat terminal that's coming with my DE.
lucs DE?
oddp_ desktop environment. KDE + Konsole in my case. 21:18

oddp_ Don't, unless you like to use tmux/screen along with it. It can't scroll back up. ;) 21:28
pilne ok, looks like rakubrew sucessfully installed on my desktop, i've got vim setup with raku hilighting, i'd say i'm off to a good start :D the repl will launch off the copy i have on a usb stick (so that's good too) 21:29
worst comes to worst i'll just have a very "honky rigged" setup on the usb stick
lucs oddp_: Yeah, I use tmux, so with a bit of luck, it should be good.
rypervenche lucs: Ahh, that was just an example. st is meant to be very minimal and you're supposed to edit the source code to edit its config file. Not for beginners. 21:37
lucs rypervenche: I'm not quite a beginner, but I'm pretty lazy :) 21:39
Freshly compiled, our /topic butterfly still shows up as '�'. 21:40

lucs needs to figure out how to install this nice font, right after dinner! :) 21:46
pilne is there a list somewhere of the environment variables I need to set, and folders I would need to create for my USB install of raku? 21:59

rypervenche So I just realized that when I have variables at the top of my script, I don't need to add parameters for my subroutines for them... I guess that makes sense, since they're in the same scope. I've been stupidly adding parameters for them in my scripts >< 22:22
22:22 Tirifto left
guifa2 rypervenche: heh. I had a similar revelation once when I was repeatedly passing variables down a chain of function calls 22:24
Then I had the epiphany of dynamic variables :-)
codesections it can be helpful to be explicit in all the variables a sub uses, though (or at least the functional programmers would have us believe…) 22:25
guifa2 codesections: yeah, I definitely think twice before opting to go the "proper" functional route, but clarity can be often gained from brevity (esp if passing lots of vals) 22:31

pilne if i'm "starting fresh" and using .raku and a #!raku line, should i be using a "use v6;" line these days? 23:22
23:24 pecastro left
codesections :pilne My understanding is that it's not necessary. At the least, I can say that, as someone who came to Raku recently, I've not used `use v6` and haven't run into any issues 23:25
m: sub f(@foo) { @foo.sum }; f(<a b c>) 23:27
camelia Cannot convert string to number: base-10 number must begin with valid digits or '.' in '3⏏5a' (indicated by ⏏)
in sub f at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
codesections How do I put a type constraint on `f`, above, that requires it to take an Array of Ints? 23:28
I thought it would be `sub f([Int] @foo)` or `sub f(Array(Int) @foo)`, but neither of those work 23:30
m: sub f(Array(Int) @foo) { @foo.sum }; f([1, 2, 3]) 23:31
camelia Type check failed in binding to parameter '@foo'; expected Positional[Int] but got Array ($[1, 2, 3])
in sub f at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
codesections That error message makes me think that's on the right track, but it also confuses me. Why does it expect a `Positional[Int]` when I just told it to expect an Array? 23:32
pilne codesections - ty , i wasn't expecting issues from not using it, i was just wondering if it was "good practice" (: 23:35
23:35 markoong left
codesections Er, wait, `Array(Int)` probably *isn't* on the right track – that looks like it's using the `Coercion type` syntax – that is, saying I want an Int and want to coerce it to an Array. Which isn't what I want at all 23:35

holyghost I am going to drink something, started 3 C# projects for work 23:40
23:50 hungrydonkey joined
elcaro codesections: kind of like `sub f(Int @foo) { ... }`, however, your code will still fail when you call `f([1, 2, 3])` 23:52
because `[1, 2, 3]` is an `Array` not an `Array[Int]`. If you create `my Int @a = 1, 2, 3` and pass `@a` to `f` it will work 23:53
or you could call `f(Array[Int].new(1, 2, 3))`
23:54 _jrjsmrtn joined 23:56 __jrjsmrtn__ left
codesections Aha, thanks! And, now that you explain it, that makes sense – `f(Int @foo)` requires an Array that can *only* hold `Int`s. And `[1, 2, 3]` isn't constrained to only hold Ints. It *happens* to only have Ints in it right now, but that's not part of its type. 23:58
