beppu_ Is there such a thing as run-time composition with Roles in Perl 6 land. Moose seems to support this. 01:27
wolverian beppu_, yes indeed, see perlcabal.org/syn/S12.html#Roles 01:28
lambdabot Title: S12
beppu_ cool. 01:29
Debolaz again gets annoyed by how roles are called "mixins" in certain other languages. 01:58
beppu_ Debolaz: what does "mixin" mean to you. Is it a less precise term in your mind? 02:00
yellow can anyone help me getting XML::DB::Database::Exist to work ? 02:02
Debolaz beppu: It's an ugly word. 02:28
rindolf Hi all. 15:13
Ziggy6 is someone here familiar with kp6? 18:41

putter Fyi - I just now did cpan -i Task::Smoke on a relatively fresh v5.8.8, and got lots of test/install failures. 23:12
allbery_b join the club :/ 23:13
gaal putter: nopaste? 23:15
lambdabot gaal: You have 1 new message. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read it.
gaal ah got the moosage, thanks
gaal oh, not related. 23:16
well, there is quite some rewrite 23:17
some of it isn't crazy hard, like for example switching over to using the existing new signature parser with function sigs
but the parser will need revisiting 23:18
probably harder is the other core parts that look at the constructed AST, since they are sometimes coupled with the old concrete structure
some things again shouldn't be very difficult: just transition over to new structure 23:19
some things are harder since they got really differnent representations. I don't grok the new way context is intuited, for example. (used to be it was an annotation wrapper on an Exp node) 23:20
gaal likewise position, which is not an explicit part of the AST now 23:20
pragmas though should be easier once the new ast is used 23:21
gaal putter: the key to transitioning rather than harmitmode singlehanded mass-commit is probably to transition through the "VV" node 23:21
Other than that, I think the new ast is articulated well enough, or almost well enough. 23:22
bedtime for me. good night! 23:23

(oh if someone could nopaste a task::smoke buildfail, or open an RT bug, or email me, that'd be great, thanks)
