| masak | OH HAI | 18:51 | |
| zarah | ni hao masak | ||
| masak: You have new messages. Write '/msg zarah @messages' to read them. | 18:52 | ||
| moritz_ | moep | ||
| Tene | HAI | 19:16 | |
| masak | I'm trying to do lists in November, but it's not going too well. | 19:19 | |
| first, it's a tricky problem, but I think I have a way to do it. | |||
| second, Rakudo keeps getting in the way. | |||
| moritz_ | man, I'd like to do some actual Perl 6 hacking, but too much stress these days | 19:20 | |
| masak | moritz_: Ph.D.? | ||
| Tene | Anything specific you want me to look at in rakudo? | ||
| moritz_ | writing 4 Perl 6 articles, maintaining a test suite, trying to study at the same time... | ||
| masak | Tene: oh yes, please! use.perl.org/~masak/journal/38353 | ||
| zarah | masak's link is also tinyurl.com/c7tbgp | ||
| moritz_ | masak: no, I'll still need at least 6 months for the stupid diploma thing | 19:21 | |
| masak | zarah: shut up. | ||
| zarah | masak: :) | ||
| masak | moritz_: ok. | ||
| Tene: jonathan already looked at bug #1, and pronounced it Harder Than He Thought. but that's the least important one anyway. | |||
| moritz_ | I'm writing about a few major Rakudo features... | 19:26 | |
| and so far I've got OO, grammars and multi dispatcher | |||
| Tene | oh, the hash one? | ||
| I think that looked like a PCT bug. | |||
| masak | unh. | ||
| moritz_ | are there any other outstanding features that Rakudo does very well? | ||
| Tene | moritz_: junctions work fairly well. Not perfectly, but pretty good. | 19:27 | |
| masak | moritz_: yes, I find that all the control flow things work very well these days. | ||
| for, loop, while, given, gather, if... | |||
| moritz_ | thank you both | 19:28 | |
| Tene | with next/last/redo | ||
| Exceptions are okay. | |||
| masak | haven't used those much, save for the hidden ones. :) | 19:29 | |
| Tene | :) | ||
| moritz_: you could also mention eval(... :lang<...>) | 19:31 | ||
| ;) | |||
| moritz_ | Tene: that's actually very good idea | ||
| Tene | The big problem with that is that it doesn't report errors. | 19:39 | |
| So if the load_bytecode fails, or if the program doesn't compile, it just does nothing. | 19:40 | ||
