geoffb Anyone happen to know the status of 6-on-5? Is the (sub)project still alive? 05:59
geoffb Wheee, nothing like asking a question just as the entire IRC net is rebooted .... 06:04
Let's try that again:
Anyone happen to know the status of 6-on-5? Is the (sub)project still alive?
IIRC, the latest v6-alpha on CPAN is from September. 06:05
geoffb Oh for heaven's sake ... maybe I'll just wait half an hour for freenode to stop burping 06:07
Alias_ geoffb, it's still coming along, the component parts are being polished still 06:18
Because I believe the run-time stuff is not trivial
geoffb Alias_: nodnod
geoffb Just trying to get an idea on when I can actually usefully convert the code I'm working on. (And still have it running at fullish speed.) 06:19
Alias_ A while yet
geoffb Sigh 06:20
Alias_ Well, you know what's involved in having Perl 6 run WITHOUT anyone ever installing Perl 6...
geoffb Ah well, file me under "Still Life with Source Filter"
Alias_ Give it a few months
geoffb Alias_: I have. ;-) 06:21
Alias_ ... again
geoffb Seriously though, just was wanting to get status, because none of the usual places to look said anything
Pugs' STATUS document hasn't been updated in almost a year now.
Alias_ poke Audrey :) 06:22
geoffb So I had no idea if things had completely stalled, or whether it was just bubbling behind the scenes
Alias_ They are probably been too busy boding for the last year
coding
Nah, not stalled at all
geoffb I thought she was working tail off at $work?
Alias_ It moves ahead like the veritable freight train
geoffb Schweet 06:23
Alias_ I believe the commit rate still describes an expodential curve
geoffb Good. As it should be. :-)
Alias_ I believe the issue now is they are getting to the business end 06:24
geoffb meaning? 06:25
Alias_ Making parrot, Perl 6 and the Perl 6 backends all line up, so to speak
er
parrot, Perl 5 and the...
I lose track sometimes, it's a veritable octopus of components
geoffb Right, so finally getting the common point in the middle (the AST) to really be common ....
heh
Alias_ Well
Perl 6 -> ... -> Haskell is fine 06:26
Perl 6 -> ... -> Perl 5/parrot is the trickier stuff
geoffb gotcha
Alias_ But then parts of parrot are reaching up to replace bits of pugs, and downwards, and sideways, etc etc
The next round of releasey type stuff should appear some time soon I suspect 06:27
geoffb Somehow I have visions of black and white B- horror flicks
Alias_ But then only Audrey and Larry know for sure
pretty much :)
geoffb nodnod

GeJ good m􏿽xF8􏿽xF6se m􏿽xF6􏿽xF8ses 22:49
fglock GeJ: greetings 23:02
GeJ hello fglock 23:03
fglock this is so silent 23:05
GeJ Is audrey still missing? 23:06
fglock yes, it seems so 23:07
fglock geoffb: re status of 6-on-5 23:13
the current plan is to have 6-on-6, which compiles to perl5 23:14
6-on-6 would be bootstrapped with mini-p6, which compiles to all backends 23:18
mini-p6 currently compiles to p5 and parrot. The p5 backend is bootstrapped 23:19
fglock I think that bootstrapping on other backends would be nice, so I'm working on the parrot bootstrap 23:23
v6.pm and Pugs::Compiler::Rule are not meant to be abandoned - I'm looking for comaintainers 23:24
re "getting the common point in the middle (the AST) to really be common" 23:27
I don't think it is possible, as it would need the current compilers to be rewritten 23:28
6-on-6 would be a common parser/common AST for several backends 23:29
