notandinus so i'm writing a cli util, it used a dispatch table in perl, it's called like: `util <action> <file>` 07:50
currently i've just defined a single MAIN sub with $action annd $file var and then used a given/when block on $action
i could use a multi MAIN for different actions instead of given/when but then there are some flags that i want to include in all of them (like --verbose, --quiet) how do i achieve this? 07:51
like if i use a multi MAIN then i'll have to include 'Bool $verbose' in all multis, how do i avoid that? 07:52
El_Che I don't see much the point in multiple mains if the signature is the sam 07:53
action and file are both strings
put the swich/handling in a separate function?
07:54 rindolf joined
notandinus i see, so i'll keep the current structure, i was just wondering if there was a better way to do this 07:54
also how do i accept a list from stdin?
say `<action> <file1> <file2> ...` 07:55
07:57 brtastic left
El_Che yes, using an array 07:58
or slurpy at the end
main is a regular function signature wise as far as I know
notandinus m: unit sub MAIN(Str $a, Array @t); 08:01
camelia Usage:
<tmp> <a> <t>
notandinus ^^ like this ?
El_Che not type Array 08:04
wait

MasterDuke you might be able to put the shared flags and such in the proto? 08:08
notandinus i don't know about proto, i'll check it out 08:11
i was looking at how zef is written but it's huge
MasterDuke docs.raku.org/syntax/proto 08:12
El_Che gist.github.com/nxadm/207cfa75d3d5...e7e341ea6c 08:13
MasterDuke a lot of times you just end up using the one automatically created when you declare a couple multis. but if you want to implement some shared functionality between the multis an explicitly created proto can sometimes be used 08:14

notandinus i see, thanks 09:47
is zef + META6.json the equivalent of Make? i was wondering how to distribute this simple script 09:48
jmerelo notandinus: it's not a task runner, it's not a building tool 09:49
notandinus: you might want to use Ake as a substitute for Make
(I meant a build-instructions tool above) 09:50
notandinus i just use make for installating binaries and manuals,
oh i see, i'll checkout Ake
jmerelo notandinus: it's a whole task manager. it's amazing, once you get to know all it's got. Anyway, closest to make is Ake, which is a proper task manager where you can specify tasks and what needs to be done to achieve them 09:51
notandinus i see, what is the ideal way of distributing Raku programs to others?
Geth doc: 3256bb001d | (JJ Merelo)++ | doc/Language/syntax.pod6
Separate angular parens to avoid them being gobbled.

linkable6 Link: docs.raku.org/language/syntax
DOC#3763 [closed]: github.com/Raku/doc/issues/3763 [bug][docs] <<<>>> on Syntax page isn't rendered
jmerelo notandinus: one thing is distributing, other thing is building them. You're good to go with META6.json, though. You can then use zef to build/install locally. 09:53
notandinus i see, i'm using zef. can i make it install the manual too in desired location?
it does install all binaries and libraries correctly 09:54
jmerelo notandinus: I don't think zef has any kind of provision in that sense, if what you want is your pod6 rendered to groff (which is the manual format) and installed to the usual manual pages (/usr/man). Also depends on the format you're using for the manual 09:55
If you use pod6, and your manual pages are in lib/ just like the rest, those pages are precompiled and installed and you should be able to check them with rakudoc 09:56
Anyway, there's no single of standard way of dealing with manual pages that I know of.
notandinus hmm i haven't written it in pod6 format, it's mandoc format written manually, just need to place the tool.1 file in /usr/local/man 09:57
i see, thanks

kawaii Hi, I have a module which has a hash structure declared like; `our %documentation is export`, and my main script is `use`'ing this module, when my main script does `if %documentation{$arg}:exists { ... }` it never returns True, even when I know `$arg` is a valid key inside that hash. 10:03
Is this because my hash is contained within the module? It works when I move it into the main script but I wanted to tidy it away whilst still referencing it 10:04

tbrowder hi, all
i'm having a problem with zef and how it selects a module
with different authors and versions. does it select for highest version or alpha order on author or number on api? 11:04

tbrowder also, i see a need for some kind of module version cancellation list. the situation is with my new module with same name as david warring's older module. the both have some of the same dependencies which have also had version bumps to disambiguate them. unless the two (or more) older modules are retired, zef's default search appears to not work properly. 11:15

tbrowder .tell ugexe ^^^ 11:39
tellable6 tbrowder, I'll pass your message to ugexe
tyil tbrowder: isn't :auth<> ment to disambiguate between different authors using the same name for a module?
kawaii Hi, when running this `map` operation on one of the arrays which only contains a single hash, I end up with a malformed `fields` array which contains a second item out of nowhere (github.com/kawaii/raku-mimi/blob/m...kumod#L32) - `fields => [{name => Install, value => docs.mybb.com} {name => (Any), value => docs.mybb.com/1.8/install/}]` instead of the expected single item array 11:45
11:45 yonnybg left
kawaii note how one item has the correct name, and the other the correct value 11:46
when testing with one of the documentation arrays containing multiple items, it works perfectly
tbrowder yes, but a basic request without versions should get the higher number i thought. but it looks like that is not the case. 11:48
tyil tbrowder: I'm not sure how zef resolves this, but I can tell you for sure that you should always use the most specific unitspec in your deps, so always include a :auth<> :p 11:49
leave nothing to chance or implementation of the particular module installer 11:50
tbrowder david has updated the older dependencies' version numbers, and my module has a higher version number than david's old module of the same name, but zef doesn't find them without specifying the version number.
tyil (I would generally also recommend pinning your deps to a specific version, fwiw)
tbrowder i have done that in my module. 11:51
given what david and i have done version-wise, the ver<0.4.5+> style specs should work. 11:53
i agree the auth shoudld 11:54
*should be used in certain cases, but this is a coordinated rename so the version only should be fine. 11:55
tyil it's generally safer to make sure only a single release can match in my experience
elcaro kawaii: single-arg rule is kicking in, your array doesn't contain a single Hash, it contains a Pair 11:56
tbrowder and that is what we have (unless of course we have overlooked something) 11:57
tyil tbrowder: show me your META6.json 11:58

tbrowder it will take a few minutes... 11:58
El_Che buy him dinner first
tyil lol 11:59
kawaii elcaro: ah I wasn't aware of this at all! Do I need to change the syntax for the single items to %() instead of {} to explicitly say they're hashes?
elcaro kawaii: i'm not sure that will help... i've constructed a minimal reproducable test, and that doesn't seem to help 12:01
so far the only thing that help is putting a commma after the pair, eg, topic => [{ key => val },] 12:02
but that is not really a good solution
trying to figure a better way
kawaii I mean that sounds cleaner than the hack I was going to do of checking the `.elems` in each array and just doing something else entirely if it's `= 1` :P 12:03
12:03 animalmother2 joined
elcaro tbh, i dunno how your constructing %documentation in the first place, i didn't look that far 12:04
if it's easy to throw a comma in there, then do it! :)
kawaii elcaro: github.com/kawaii/raku-mimi/blob/m...rakumod#L8
it's manually written, so no problem :)
elcaro i'm sure there's probably a "cleaner" way, but i'm tired and it's not coming to me atm
kawaii no problem, thanks for your help and explanation of the issue! 12:05
tbrowder see gist gist.github.com/tbrowder/b6eb14527...ff5317635a 12:06
animalmother2 question: How come I need a ':' in `.say for (^10).map: { $_ * $_ };` but not in `.say for map { $_ * $_ }, (^10);`? 12:07
elcaro animalmother2: short answer is the first example calls map as a method, the second is map as a function (with 2 args) 12:08
ie. second example is really `map({ $_ * $_ }, (^10))
but just calling as a function without parens 12:09
animalmother2 sure. and I see that `(^10).map({$_ * $_})` also works. So : is necessary when.. calling methods without parens?
elcaro methods can be called without parens, but require a colon, eg. @array.push: 'this'
animalmother2 ok. where is this documented? 12:10
Can't exactly google for ":"...
elcaro yeah, not sure... it is briefly mentioned here: docs.raku.org/language/syntax#Impl...in_blocks) 12:11
i'm sure it's elsewhere, just not sure where
you can call methods with parens too, ie: (^10).map({ $_ * $_ }) 12:12
notagoodidea animalmother2: docs.raku.org/language/syntax#Subroutine_calls
animalmother2 also found this: "Similarly, multiple arguments can be specified by placing a colon after the method and separating the argument list with a comma" docs.raku.org/language/objects#Methods
thanks guys. I'm not sure if I just know perl 5 too well or if raku has even more syntax to learn lol 12:13
elcaro animalmother2: typically i prefer parens, but i might drop them inside a map to avoid too many parens, eg. @lines.map(*.split: '-') 12:14
notagoodidea I don't know perl but raku has a lot of alternative syntax (beginner pov)
elcaro or, if my map is multi-line (or long enough to go on it's own line) i will `map: { `. this has the added benefit of not requiring a semi-colon 12:15
because closing brace acts as statement terminator
(erm, providing there's nothing after the closing brace on the same line) 12:16
notagoodidea animalmother2: like you example can skip map with `^10 [Z*] ^10` (I love the Z and R operators :D) 12:17
codesections another trick to avoiding parens (that I'm still not sure I fully understand is to use a combo of , and ; in an argument list) 12:18

hoard tab with the group manager plugin based on context. Like
my "Job hunt" group have LinkedIn and a few applications I have
to answer too now or later, some group are contextualized by
activity, if I want to look at Chess stuff, I want to have X
websites at hand. [11:10]
<notagoodidea> I don't have find a good way to do it yet. Containers don't
help to not hoard tabs. [11:11]
<tadzik> the fact that hoarding tabs like this is a common theme makes me
think that there's an enormous room for improvement in bookmark
managers [11:12]
<codesections> agreed 12:20
<notagoodidea> agreed
<tadzik> if my home page had a section for "bookmarked last week" and another
for "bookmarked last year" I'll be likely to actually click on them,
or just remove them once I forget what I wanted them for
<codesections> and browser UI in general
<tadzik> I still wonder if we'd ever get browser tabs if window managers were
better in the IE6 days [11:13]
<tadzik> though most of the mainstream ones still aren't :P
<notagoodidea> If I good group-bookmark and reopen the all group that will
tadzik ouch

cog In Perl, refaddr can be used to create a key in a hash. What would be the Raku equivalent ? The port of Scalar::Util says : Returns the internal memory address of the object as a plain integer. Please note that Raku implementations do not require the memory address of an object to be constant: in fact, with MoarVM as a back end, any longer living object will have its memory address changed over its lifetime. 13:00
codesections tadzik: yeah, but it's correct in my config/the variable I checked. I just tested an over-large paste in a msg to myself, and I was properly protected/warned. So truly no idea why it didn't save me (us?) here 13:02
cog Maybe it is good enough for that use. Or we may potentially have a problem similar to the ABA problem, here manifesting as not having the guarantee of the unicity of a key. 13:04
Geth doc: e9d0b234cf | (JJ Merelo)++ | doc/Language/operators.pod6

MasterDuke cog: you can create object hashes and use the object directly as the key. if you really want some some of unique string representation. use `.WHICH` 13:07

cog So WHICH is guaranteed not to change over time ? 13:08
Anyway, object as its own key is good enough, thx MasterDuke 13:10
MasterDuke cog: yeah. .WHERE is the memory address, which can change, but .WHICH is a unique id (though "different" value objects may have the same id) 13:12

codesections along the same lines as what [Coke] said, you could also make a constant Subset (something like Subset Three where * == 3) 16:59

[Coke] I don't think anyone has done that comparision, but tcl is better for embedding.
El_Che nice 19:30
msiism Currently I'm writing a find(1) wrapper. A while back I created a "run dialog" with Tcl/Tk. (That thing that you (used to) get when typing Alt+F2 in Linux desktop environments to start programs by typing a command.) I'm not working in the embedded field. 19:31
melezhik my tcl associations is command line / desktop automation utilities ... this is why I am asking ... If we compare by this domain you might be interested in Sparrow which is written on Raku
sparrowhub.io/ .... but it does not do any desktop / GUI things 19:32
El_Che there isn't something as integrated as Tcl/Tk
melezhik however I can think about having Sparrow plugins that Tcl scripts and so on ...
msiism Hm… I think I'm really just looking for a general-purpose programming language, one that does have some sort of usable bindings to a few GUI libraries, if possible. 19:33
El_Che msiism: there are gtk bindings
msiism Okay, well, there's probably a list of all current such bindings for Raku. So I can look that up.
El_Che but GUI is problematic even with more popular languaes like perl, go or java
melezhik yeah ... 19:34
moon-child java has good gui. perl and go, not so much
msiism I don't know that. What's the reason, in general?
I mean for GUI being problematic.

msiism So, if there's more than one way to do it, would I be able to write Raku largely without using the <thing>.<method> syntax, and instead use something looking like <method>(<thing> <more stuff following a generally defined scheme>)?
codesections is that just wrong? 20:14
CIAvash m: { our $test = 1 }; say $OUR::test
camelia 1
codesections O.o
[Coke] ah. CIAvash++ from the docs, "OUR" is current scope, not empty. :) 20:15
er, current package.
codesections msiism: If I understand what you're asking, yes
[Coke] m: for <1 2> { our $bar = 42 }; say $OUR::bar; 20:16
camelia 42
[Coke] so, the variable in the block is lexical, but the our adds an alias to the package, and once you know where it is, you can find it. 20:17
msiism codesections: Okay, that sounds interesting. I mean like split($str ':'); or some such instead of $str.split(':'); 20:18
[Coke] Many core routines are also methods on common objects, but that doesn't mean everything is.
e.g. .split is, but .succ isn't. 20:20
codesections msiism: as [Coke] said, many are defined both ways, including .split. So those work automatically. For the others, you just need to mark the invocant with a : 20:21
msiism codesections: Could you give a simple example of the latter? 20:22
codesections m: say( succ('aa':))
camelia ab
msiism I see. Thanks. 20:23
codesections (that's not the best example, since it just takes one arg. But so many methods have been defined as functions as well that there aren't a ton of examples to pick from) 20:24
m: say polymod(120: 10) # slightly better 20:25
camelia (0 12)
msiism Okay, I get now what invocant means. Is an invocant not the same as an operand? 20:26
codesections similar, but not quite the same. Operands are for operators and there can be more than one. (e.g., in 1 + 2) 20:28
invocants are for methods, and there's always just one 20:29
msiism Okay, but there are also unary operators, right? Would that be sort of the same then? I mean, if you think of methods and operators as just functions? 20:30
[Coke] hurls docs.raku.org/language/objects#ind...ant_syntax 20:31
MasterDuke in raku operators are just subs
msiism [Coke]: Okay, having a look.
codesections yeah. I mean, since both are just functions, both operands and invocants are a type of argument

MasterDuke m: sub infix:<(|)>($a, $b) { say "$b )|( $a" }; 4 (|) "123";
camelia 123 )|( 4
msiism So, is it always safe to put the ':' mark after the invocant, even for things like split? Or would I have to watch out for that? 20:34
[Coke] if you use the invocant mark on split, you're calling a different routine.] 20:35

[Coke] ... thank you.
msiism Okay, good to know.
MasterDuke m: class Foo { method bar($a) { say $a + 4 } }; my $b = Foo.new; bar($b: 3) # works for generic user-defined stuff too
camelia 7
codesections yep. And you can go the other way (call a sub as a method by having .& instead of just . ) 20:39
20:42 melezhik left
msiism codesections: How did split("what the": 't') change the order of arguments, though? I didn't really get what you meant by that. 20:43
codesections sorry, I'd stepped away. I just meant that they might expect arguments in different order. docs.raku.org/routine/split 20:49
msiism Okay, thanks.
codesections m: split('', "the quick brown fox" ) 20:50
camelia ( no output )
codesections m: say split(' ', "the quick brown fox" )

melezhik I've create my very first Sparrow plugin written on golang -:) - github.com/melezhik/sparrow-plugin.../sparky-db 22:27
I find "sparrowgo" is really attractive name for anything Sparrow/Go related ... ha-ha . I like how the word sounds ... 22:28
El_Che melezhik: you forgot to "go fmt" :) 22:29
melezhik the thing is you can create all-dependecies-included go utulities and run it using Sparrow/raku ..
El_Che bear with me :-) , this is probably my very first go program ... though written in Sparrow way . ha-ha!
once I make it a plugin you can run it as `s6 --plg-run sparky-db` or even now on my mac `cd sparky-db && s6 --task-run .` 22:30
El_Che melezhik: you should take some code out of main and put it in an other function
why go? 22:31
melezhik El_Che why?
El_Che go users are very anal on short func length
and separarion of duties
melezhik El_Che just for the sake it's self-contained all dependencies in binary, you don't need any sqlite bindings
El_Che if selfcontained is the objective maybe vendoring is an option 22:32
melezhik "go users are very anal on short func length" - I don't that care, this is not for go users ...
22:32 ajdplaysalto joined
El_Che don't you see how anal I am with my comments :) 22:32
melezhik this is for Sparrow users, that will either run it as `s6` or as Raku function using Sparrow6::DSL
El_Che ))) I am a head to kill as well ha-ha , 22:33
btw , what do you mean by "vendoring is an option"? 22:34
El_Che go mod vendor
22:34 ajdplaysalto left
El_Che you get the libs in a vendor directory in the source repo 22:34
so you can build without Internet
melezhik more or less the same idea - use go so not bother with dependencies on target host 22:35
but still in high-level run is as Raku function or s6 cli thing
El_Che melezhik: golang.org/ref/mod#vendoring 22:36
melezhik in that case it will work without even need of any DB::SQLite
El_Che++
El_Che with recent go versions vendoring is less important because google provides now a write-once module proxy 22:37
so you get the reprodubility without the need of vendoring
melezhik ok, I see. I will test it and see how it goes, thanks for info
El_Che but, like I said, if you need to build without internet, vendoring is a good way to include all the dependencies 22:38
I don't know how the binary will be created or retrieved
will it be compiles on a client machine? will it be downloaded from github? will it be packaged? 22:39
depending on the answer you'll get a different answer
but big plus for using modules
even for a small program
melezhik sorry, I thought that the whole idea behind distribution of go programs -- is you build them once and you don't build anything on target machine 22:43
all the dependencies are already included statically in binary file
El_Che yes, of course 22:44
(as long you don't have C dependencies)
melezhik yes I am aware ... 22:46
and here the case with github.com/melezhik/sparrow-plugin.../go.mod#L5 - it's pure go implementation for sqlite3 22:47
at least I expect that ... ))
El_Che it is
melezhik yeah, so the idea is to use pure go things to avoid hassle with dependencies on target server ... it's all of course at coast of coding on go some things ... 22:48
but Sparrow already take cares about many others - like input parameters handling and configuration
for example like here - github.com/melezhik/sparrow-plugin.../task.bash 22:49
coast -> cost 22:56

notagoodidea Is there another way to check if a substring appears in an array of string than : 23:15
m: my @foo = ["foo bar", "baz lala"]; .say if $_ ~~ /foo/ for @foo; 23:16
camelia foo bar
codesections m: my @foo = ["foo bar", "baz lala"]; say @foo.grep: /foo/ 23:19
camelia (foo bar)
codesections same basic idea, but slightly more readable, imo
notagoodidea agreed, thanks! 23:24
sortiz m: ["foo bar", "baz lala"].first(/foo/).Bool.say; #Ready for your "if" 23:26
camelia True
sortiz m: ["foo bar", "baz lala"].first(/gol/).Bool.say; 23:27
camelia False
notagoodidea first only try on the first item of the array no? 23:28
sortiz Nop, returns the first match if any or nil 23:30
notagoodidea m: ["foo bar", "baz lala"].first(/baz/).Bool.say; 23:31
camelia True
sortiz So, I you only want to check if the substring appears, it stop early
notagoodidea That answered another question, I had :D 23:47
melezhik El_Che here is the final implementation of the idea, if you're interested - sparrowhub.io/plugin/sparky-db/0.000001 23:50
.tell tib I've create a simple Sparrow plugin tom list sparky builds, it's built on go and does not require any dependencies . It's very simple but illustrate the idea - sparrowhub.io/plugin/sparky-db/0.000001 23:51
tellable6 melezhik, I'll pass your message to tib
