masak use.perl.org/~masak/journal/38033 21:53
zarah masak's link is also tinyurl.com/6cwykg
masak blogging about blogging about coding :) 21:54
moritz_ speaking of blogging, I might point you to perlgeek.de/blog-en/perl-6/tidings-2008-12.html 21:56
zarah moritz_'s link is also tinyurl.com/5cs7pa
moritz_ nice and honest wrap-up 21:59
masak moritz_: gracias.
moritz_: also, nice to see Tidings every month. I think that's worth a lot, especially for outsiders. 22:00
moritz_ masak: funny thing is, I didn't plan to do it monthly, it just happened to come out like this until now 22:01
masak that type of planning is sometimes the best one.
moritz_ aye
masak (Zen planning)
moritz_ man, this freaking test suite needs so much more love... jonathan has a patch that makes rakudo die on unknown type names... it's breaking havoc 22:02
I need to attract more minio^Wcontributors 22:04
masak moritz_: let's say I gave you half an hour right now. what would you like me to do? 22:05
er, I mean "yesss, master?" :P 22:06
moritz_ masak: review tests in t/oo and move to t/spec/, or write multi *method* dispatch tests
(we have so many multi *sub* dispatch tests, and so little MMD) 22:07
masak the former sounds more like a task for my deranged brain
...at least for now. pushing the latter to some low-prio queue of things to do.
masak takes a look at t/oo 22:08
moritz_ I feel I still haven't grokked Perl 6 OO at all (partly because I usually don't use it), so it's a bit behind in t/spec/
masak dunno whether I grokked it either
we'll see, I guess 22:09
moritz_: so I just make sure they run in Rakudo, and fudge them if they don't -- and then move them to t/spec/ ? 22:34
moritz_ masak: the most important step is to check that they actually conform to the specs (at least mostly= 22:35
masak: as for the rest: exactly 22:36
masak oh.
I need to re-read S12.
moritz_ if they pass a few tests, and the rest is fudged, you can also add them to t/spectest.data in rakudo
masak ah, yes.
