Welcome to the main channel on the development of MoarVM, a virtual machine for NQP and Rakudo (moarvm.org). This channel is being logged for historical purposes.

nine Again "a semantic stream of bytes" not uint32s. And again, problems because we have two data types for the same purpose. As for writing arbitrary data types to a byte array, in Scala you'd wrap an Array[Byte] in a ByteArrayOutputStream and then use its writeObject method. 06:39
Crucial difference is that the mechanism of turning things into bytes is separate from the actual data storage. This way you can just re-use the existing Array type for the actual storage. 06:40
lizmat do we have any indication whether MoarVM builds on Plan9 ? 18:24
timo does libuv have a plan9 port? 18:35
lizmat github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/v1.x/S...ATFORMS.md doesn't look like it, so that's out then :-) 18:39
timo doesn't have to be a full port, but it would still be a lot of work 19:55
if you postpone some features and just concentrate on what gets you to a "hello world" in nqp, it would maybe not be terrifyingly much 19:56
ugexe i imagine it would require redoing our entire build system since i doubt there is a fully compatible perl for it 20:00
nine Well the perlplan9 man page is not encouraging :D perldoc.perl.org/perlplan9 21:32
Nicholas bendyworks.com/blog/getting-plan-9...pberry-pi/ -- Installing Plan 9 on the raspberry pi couldn’t be much easier. 21:34
oh wait. 2012
plan9 isn't helping anyone here
(to clarify slightly. I briefly looked into "how do I install Plan9 so that I can figure out the perl port" and decided that if the most recent SD card images were for a Pi1, it probably wasn't going to be worth it) 21:37
