Sycosys ahha! i have found people 01:09
labster yes?
Sycosys Hi
labster What's up Sycosys?
Sycosys not much, jsut trying to sort out the G+ python study group 01:10
labster It's 6PM US-Pacific time, but the lesson is pretty much over. you can still do the work, though.
Oh... this is more of a Perl crowd than a Python crowd. 01:11
Sycosys oh.. odd, i was linked here from a Learn Python the hard way study group
probably not a bad idea to learn perl while im at the whole expand my program language list. 01:12
labster And most of us are asleep because there are a lot of Europeans in the group.
Cool! Well, I'd be happy to help.
Are you more interested in Perl 5, the well developed language supported on many platforms with like millions of modules on CPAN? Or in Perl 6, the new language with lots more features and syntactic sugar but it's still under development? 01:14
Sycosys excellent, well can't say i have any questions at the moment seeing as how this is not the Python chat if thought it was. I'll be sure to drop in if/when i dig into perl Thanks :)
labster We hang out in #perl6 most of the time, if you're interested in that one. 01:15
Sycosys I am stuck between python 2.6 (for work) and python 3 (for everything else)
labster Yeah, basicallly the same deal in python. Except we're working on a Perl 5 in Perl 6 mode, where nested blocks can be written in the old language. In theory, it could be extended to run Python in Perl 6, but no one's worked on the grammar yet. 01:16
Sycosys Well Thank you for your help. I'll be sure to stop in when i get into Perl. Thank you! 01:20

masak so, did some Python people think it was a fun idea to link here from a G+ thread and say it's "Learn Python the Hard Way"? 08:02
lizmat apparently 08:03
masak well, that explains one of the participants yesterday.
FROGGS well, publicity of us, no?
masak I thought he was trolling, so I hugged him. 08:04
you can find it in yesterday's logs.
moritz so, how was the workshop?
lizmat I understand that is a typical Swedish thing to do
masak moritz: I can only speak for myself; I enjoyed myself greatly. 08:05
moritz: people sent in a total of 45 solutions. my brain melted.
lizmat for me it was less enjoyable, as I got stuck on a "@array.push &foo" thinko :-( 08:06
masak aww
lizmat I will not make *that* mistake again soon
masak I'm thinking we should have a warning or something for that case.
it's really not DWIM what it does right now.
lizmat perhaps, any other sigil would have done a 2 terms in a row error 08:08
masak yeah.

labster masak: ONELINERS gist.github.com/labster/5497694 And it's the only solution that did the bottom five problems
masak lizmat: I've encountered the &-interpreted-as-infix problem in connection with some blocks not getting semicolons properly at the end of lines. very frustrating. 08:09
lizmat rn: my @a; sub foo {1}; @a.push &foo
camelia rakudo 802574, niecza v24-37-gf9c8fc2: ( no output )
lizmat rn: my @a; sub foo {1}; @a.push & foo
camelia rakudo 802574, niecza v24-37-gf9c8fc2: ( no output )
masak labster: nice! 08:10
lizmat: it violates Least Surprise. so we should do something about it.
lizmat would there be any way to force whitespace after an infix & ?
labster It's hard for me to use intermediate variables. The methods all seem to be like natural language in Perl 6, so I just keep chaining them.
lizmat or "termize" &[alpha] ? 08:12
labster lizmat: that makes sense
masak suggests moving this discussion to #perl6 08:14
labster: nice! I added your solution. 08:16
lizmat will do so after fitness, away for ~2 hours or so 08:19

udprakash anyone here ? 13:16
moritz just us bots 13:17
udprakash cool 13:18
masak is not here 13:19
udprakash: something on your mind? :)
udprakash this is the learn python study group rite ? 13:22
PerlJam is not here either
masak udprakash: do you have an URL saying that it is? I'm curious. 13:23
udprakash: (because it isn't)
PerlJam udprakash: If by "python" you mean "perl", then yes.
:)
udprakash i was pointed here
but never mind, thanks :)
masak udprakash: no, no, please tell us more! who pointed you, and how? 13:24
PerlJam masak: you probably need to offer a python lesson in exchange :)
udprakash why the curiosity Sir ? I am curious 13:25
moritz it's not often that people come to perl events and expect there to be python
so if that happens, that's curious, don't you think?
felher /topic Python changed its syntax quite a bit for Python 4.0. Learn more aboute the new Python and its features at perl6.org ;)
udprakash by all means :) 13:26
PerlJam felher: heh!
14:01 cognominal joined
masak I swear, the next person who comes in asking for Python, I'm actually gonna teach some Python. :P 14:02
timotimo how much python do you know actually? 14:03
masak I'm not sure. I guess we'll find out.
14:08 bern joined
geekosaur came here asking for python? *looks at channel name, goes hmmm* 14:10
masak hmmm! 14:11
geekosaur (pythonista self-awareness?)
:)
GlitchMr I want JavaScript lessons...
timotimo the channel name says nothing about python *or* perl 14:12
masak GlitchMr: do the PROMISE exercise! :P
GlitchMr In JavaScript?
masak GlitchMr: sure, why not.
GlitchMr I wasn't serious, but whatever ;-). 14:13
gtodd how about in perl6 but that outputs jscript
timotimo make it compatible to perlito6 perhaps? 14:14
gtodd Hmm the oneliners task Program 5 -- print everything between START and END ... 14:15
PerlJam sounds like a good meta-topic for the next #masakism lesson--writing a compiler :)
GlitchMr HQ9+? Or something more complex than that? 14:16
PerlJam Whatever masak thinks he can muster. 14:18
But the presentation should probably be like; do this little task. do that little task. put them together. oh, btw, you're just written a compiler :) 14:19
gtodd the solutions are so different
perl6 -e '$*IN.slurp.comb(/<?after \\n?START\\n> .*? <?before \\nEND\\n?>/)>>.say'
perl6 -e for lines() { last if m:i/^end$/; next if m:i/^start$/; .say; }
perl6 -e '.say if /^ START/ ff /^END/ for lines'
masak PerlJam: sounds attractive. I'll think about it. 14:20
gtodd: fwiw, I had that last one in mind.
gtodd it's the closest to perl5 perl -ne 'print if /START/../END/'
masak yeah.
and TimToady++ speculated that we should perhaps change infix:<ff> et al. to smartmatching. 14:21
gtodd mind you there that infernal dot >.<say
masak which, to the extent I can predict the implications, I think sounds like a good idea.
gtodd: yeah. the infernal dot is one of the Perl 6 cleanups. I like it, because I agree with the cleanup. YMMV.
gtodd :-) 14:22
it reminds me that say is method being used on an object :-) 14:24
masak if you don't like that, you can always do `say $_ if /^ START/ ff /^END/ for lines' 14:26
gtodd yeah that's what I ended up putting 14:28
but ... it took me several hours :-D
pmichaud ehhh, writing a compiler isn't so hard. I've done tons of them.
PerlJam pmichaud: so ... you're volunteering to run the next #masakism lesson? ;) 14:29
gtodd pmichaud: did you get tricked in any of them by doing small tasks ?
pmichaud: wait don't answer that
PerlJam gtodd: I think he was "tricked" into writing 2 perl6 compilers :) 14:30
pmichaud step 1: reinforce the walls of your office and/or building to be able to better sustain your head beating against them.
gtodd :)
pmichaud actually, 3 or 4 perl 6 compilers. and quite a number of regex engines.
PerlJam yeah, 2 was just least upper bound 14:31
pmichaud ...which might actually indicate unsuitability for the task, now that I think of it. :-)
"Still haven't gotten it right after the 5th try, eh?"
afk again (housework... sigh :-/ ) 14:32
masak pmichaud++ # your regex engines and Perl 6 compilers keep coming out better and better, that's gotta count for something :) 14:36
ok, decommuting. if someone turns up asking for Python, be nice to them ;) 14:37

masak PerlJam: I was talking to everyone else, not you :P 15:30
tadzik "you insensitive clod" 15:31
masak GlitchMr: nice!
GlitchMr: except for one thing. I see you're writing JavaScript in semicolon-less style. stop that immediately. ;)
GlitchMr Why not? I like semicolon-less style.
tadzik it's like Go
masak GlitchMr: then you simply don't know enough about it. 15:32
it was a big mistake. it creates horrible logical bugs. it shouldn't be done, ever.
GlitchMr The only thing that could really happen is paren interpreted as method call.
masak no, that's not the only thing.
PerlJam
.oO( <@masak> GlitchMr: YOU'RE WRONG! )
 15:33
masak but this is not the place to try to convince you.
PerlJam ;)
GlitchMr Besides, I have semicolons.
for (i = 0, length = this.onFulfilled.length; i < length; i++)
masak ;) 15:34
GlitchMr I also write Python, Ruby, CoffeeScript, and AWK without semicolons. 15:35
Well, and +/- interpreted as operators, but you wouldn't begin code lines with numbers... 15:37
moritz 42 == $answer or die "Wrong answer!" 15:38
GlitchMr I never liked "or die" idiom - I only use it for file handle operations in Perl 5. But that's probably just me.
FROGGS I dont like them either 15:39
and I'd like to omit the last semicolon in a statementlist in PHP
blkcat oh god semicolon-less javascript.
just. say. no.
FROGGS *cough*, computer said "no" 15:40
GlitchMr Hey, my compiler accepts it
ajr_ s/semicolon-less// ?
GlitchMr Spec says it's allowed too.
allowed.*
With exception for JavaScript I've contributed to other projects, every single line of JS code I've wrote doesn't use semicolons. 15:43
Semicolons are noise anyway. 15:45
FROGGS just the last one :o)

masak timotimo: we already have +c in here. is there any other action I can take to make your life more color-compatible? 16:48
geekosaur backwards, +c is the problem 16:49
masak oh.
geekosaur +c is what strips escape and other control chars to disable colors
masak [freenode] -!- #masakism c ntcslk MODE cannot be set due to channel having an active MLOCK restriction policy 16:50
I'm new at this. what should I do?
timotimo privmsg chanserv for "help" and find the help for the "mode" command, i think
masak ok.
geekosaur /msg chanserv set #masakism mlock +nt-slk 16:52
masak done. 16:53
I still see (+cnt) in the info line on irssi, though.
geekosaur and then you should be able to issue that /mode command again
masak indeed. geekosaur++
geekosaur right, that doesn't chaneg the mode, just changes what irc will let you do 16:54
masak do I need to revert the MLOCK setting now? should I?
geekosaur no, you probably want to leave it
masak ok.
geekosaur if you'd moved the c to the other side, it might have taken immediate effect (since that would then be a forced turn off)
if you tell it to force back on, chanserv would probably set +c again immediately 16:55

gtodd especially since I was **so** close to solving number the lines in a perl6 ish way 18:48
and then I saw the other solutions and copied ... but only one comma :-)
PerlJam gtodd: never be embarassed about your code or the time it took. Everyone is on the same journey, just at different places and maybe taking different routes. :)
gtodd I had: 18:49
perl6 -e 'my $num; say "{$num++} $_" for $*IN.lines' < file.txt
but wanted to figure out how to use "state" better (I have used it a bit in perl5 but ...)
perl6 -e 'say (state $num)++ " $_" for $*IN.lines' < file.txt 18:50

moritz_ it points you exactly to the right spot :-)
PerlJam gtodd: note that you don't even need a named variable 18:52
moritz_ but I know how hard it is to find such stuff sometimes
PerlJam huh ... "my" works too. That's a tad surprising as I'd think it would recreate the var on each iteration. 18:56
timotimo well, there's no curlies. is that what decides it? 18:57
gtodd yeah two terms in a row :-) 18:58
masak PerlJam: nope.
PerlJam: there's no block in that for loop.
masak: and so the var is declared once, and incremented many times.
gtodd I'm ruining my mind by trying to make perl5 and perl6 seem similar!
masak er, talking to myself :/
PerlJam yeah, it's just how my brain is wired to think of "my" in loops.
gtodd and embarassing private exercise :-) 18:59
masak thunks are explicitly not blocks :)
PerlJam gtodd: in any case, say (my $)++ ~ " $_" for lines()' < file.txt 19:00

tadzik :) 19:03
moritz_ actually it's very linear :-)
.oO( strangely linear )
 19:04
.oO( in first approximation, everything is linear )
gtodd perl6 -e 'say (state $num)++, " $_" for $*IN.lines' < file.txt <-- how does one write a similar oneliner using "state" in perl5?
perl5 -pe '$_ = "$. $_"' < file.txt is easier :-) 19:05
if more cryptic/idiomatic
PerlJam: say (my $)++ ~ " $_" for lines()' < file.txt yes much better and closer to perl5 -pe '$_ = "$. $_"' < file.txt :-) 19:08
GlitchMr coffeescript.org/#try:console.log%2...le.log%20a 19:09
CoffeeScript
Works like in Perl 6. 19:10
But unlike Perl 5. 19:11
PerlJam gtodd: note that rakudo (at least) also has a -p option
gtodd: perl6 -p -e 'print (my $)++ ~ " "' < file.txt
GlitchMr I'm not even sure which behavior is valid. Declaring lexical variable inside quotes is something you shouldn't have to do ;-). 19:12
gtodd PerlJam: yeah ... I wondered if -p was cheating :-) I never think to use "~" when I want to match everything
GlitchMr I did it that way
perl -pe'print"$.. "' 19:13
Surprise. It works!
PerlJam gtodd: another version that's even closer to what you wrote: perl6 -p -e '$_ = "{(state $)++} $_"' file.txt 19:14
gtodd PerlJam: that almost works in perl5 19:18
PerlJam and if there were a way to define and use your own setting, you could write one such that: perl6 -SLN -e '' # does what you want (where -S would be how you switch settings and LN would be the name of the setting (LN == line numbers)) 19:19
(I'm 1/2 expecting moritz_ or someone to pipe up with "you can do that, but like this instead")
masak ...or just load a module that overrides &say... :P 19:20
or wraps it, more like. 19:21
PerlJam oh, good point
(I still like the provide-my-own-setting idea though)
masak r: &say.wrap: -> *@x { callwith ++state $ , ". ", |@x }; say "OH"; say "HAI" 19:23
camelia rakudo 639d7f: OUTPUT«1. OHâ¤2. HAIâ¤Â»
masak would be nice if the effects of that .wrap undid themselves at the end of the block. I think that can be arranged, using LEAVE or something. 19:24
PerlJam maybe with temp?
masak r: { my $h = &say.wrap: -> *@x { callwith ++state $ , ". ", |@x }; LEAVE { $h.restore }; say "OH"; say "HAI" }; say "out of it!" 19:25
camelia rakudo 639d7f: OUTPUT«1. OHâ¤2. HAIâ¤out of it!â¤Â»
masak \\o/
lizmat according to spec, temp should do that: S06:2906 19:27
gtodd this one I wanted to get to print unless it was Nil:
perl6 -n -e '.split(" ")[2].say' file.txt
PerlJam though, masak's version is lexical, and temp would not be. 19:28
gtodd anyway here's my one entry for the oneliners ... I will finish all the other problems over the coruse of my life :-) 19:29
gist.github.com/opendevnet/5504709
PerlJam (maybe)
gtodd well I guarantee I won't even finish the easy ones :-) 19:30
PerlJam no, masak's would be the same as with temp
PerlJam is just crazy today
gtodd++ 19:31
masak my version is not lexical. the effects of wrapping &say would survive calling into other blocks.
gtodd: lookings
looking*
19:32 diakopter left
masak gtodd: using the -p switch is definitely not cheating :) 19:32
gtodd: "Is the eskimo operator ("}{") a perl5-ism?" yes.
gtodd: I wrote some blog posts about why it doesn't work in Rakudo. 19:33
gtodd: I'm surprised that 5d works. 19:34

labster Oh masak, just wanted to thank you for mentioning the Seven Stages of a Perl Programmer. I hadn't seen that before. 20:30

masak I've known about it for years and I think it's great. :) 20:32
pmichaud I guess I'm at Wizard level by now.
Guru #4: Writes code that gives even Larry pause. # HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 20:33
labster I seem to have gone from User to Expert in the last 6 months. I think a lot of that is Perl 6 magic though -- the language seems inherently easier to understand.
pmichaud there needs to be a level for "has actually (re)written the regex engine", though. :) 20:34
several people qualify for that these days.
okay, I'm afk again. busy day today. :-/ 20:35
PerlJam Add a level above. Deity maybe? (what would be above wizard?)
(well, below depending on how you look at it) 20:36
labster Archmage would be above Wizard. 20:38
Well, in magic terms. But programming is magic.
masak it is. a controllable kind of magic. 21:00
labster Just as D&D has illusionists and enchanters, there are OOPers, functionalists, and whatever Lisp is. 21:03
