| spinclad | interesting. expected [:aā¤bā¤] or such. | 03:54 | |
| or rather, expect that for split /^/, like avar said. | 03:58 | ||
| avar | perhaps this is a bug or a special exception, split /^/ wouldn't be very useful .. | 04:01 | |

| __Ace__ | yes :) | ||
| not saying I am, just wondering | 16:04 | ||
| moritz | __Ace__: it depends on how usefull that is... | ||
| people tend not to donate just because something is cool | |||
| pmurias | audreyt is, and she still has to have a day job | ||
| moritz | but if something is _really_ cool, you can build a successfull website and earn money from the website - sometimes | 16:05 | |
| like the guy who invented the flying spaghetti monster ;-) | |||
| perlmonkey2 | I would have thought the Perl Foundation would have raised 10's of millions for p6. | 16:14 | |
| And that the core of the p6 dev team would be fully funded. | 16:15 | ||
| moritz | I think it's not that easy raising so much funds | 16:17 | |
| Khisanth | somewhere someone in TPF is ROFLing | ||
| moritz | or wheeping ;-) | 16:18 | |
| perlmonkey2 | p6 needs a professional fundraiser. there are oceans of money in the world, and p6 could fully fund the core dev team with ~ a few hundred thousand/year. | 16:20 | |
| moritz | actually audreyt would need only 3k US$/month to work full time on pugs | 16:21 | |
| perlmonkey2 | That isn't very much..... | 16:22 | |

| perlmonkey2 | first the article needs be on use.perl | ||
| moritz | perlmonkey2: what we really need is a new pugs release, and then a /. article about that | ||

| lichtkind | in perl 5? | ||
| avar | I figured that out already, you just won't accept my omnipotent suggestions:) | ||
| dmq | lichtkind: he hacks OTHER engines. And gives me heatburn, and makes me think, and generally pushes the regex engine in the right direction | ||
| no no, im accepting them. just being the "sober second thought" | 23:06 | ||
| avar | :) | ||
| dmq | www.cbc.ca/newsinreview/apr98/senate/citizen.htm | 23:07 | |
| lambdabot | Title: A Citizen’s Sober Second Thought | ||
| dmq | hopefully ill get back to hacking the regex engine next week | ||
| lichtkind | dmq if you dont mind i thought a lot about you after our ride because you thinking is in many ways different but you have passion to do thing right and that i admire | 23:08 | |
| dmq | "think outside of the box" | 23:09 | |
| svnbot6 | r15842 | Darren_Duncan++ | ext/QDRDBMS/ : more s///ing Perl 5 code into Perl 6 code | ||
| dmq | :-) | ||
| avar: it would be cool to come up with a sane representation for perl6 style capture buffer numbering that can map to perl5 style. | 23:11 | ||
| avar | with the perl5 engine? | ||
| dmq | "sane" being the key wod. | ||
| yes | |||
| it would be nice to supply a perl6 style interface to the capture buffers | 23:12 | ||
| IMO | |||
| god (or Larry) only knows how it would work, but cest la vie. | |||
| :-) | |||
| dmq has horrific mental images of nested tied constructs | 23:13 | ||
| avar | I don't see how you'd map the regex byte code to that, hrm | ||
| Juerd | dmq: Perl 6 doesn't have tie... >:) | 23:14 | |
| dmq | its gotta be possible to map nested style to incremental style. | ||
| Juerd | It just has variables that do roles that have methods that override. :) | ||
| dmq | the question is how to make the p5 actually do something useful with it | ||
| i was thinking maybe use pseudo hash notation for it instead of true nested arrays. :-) | 23:15 | ||
| $/{1;0;1;2} | 23:16 | ||
| avar | why not use true nested arrays? | ||
| dmq | or however it works i forget right now | ||
| avar | fastah? | ||
| dmq | because nested arrays imply constructing the full tree at match time, but using the hash notation means that you can do a tie | ||
| pr doing extremely evil tie stuff. | 23:17 | ||
| avar | you can have a tied nested array | ||
| :) | 23:18 | ||
| dmq | i thought you couldnt | ||
| actually if im right maybe THATS something to fix for perl 5.10 | |||
| a AUTOVIVY tied method. :-) | |||
| avar | uh? not? that sucks | ||
| FETCH can't return []? | |||
| lichtkind | Juerd perl6 dont have tie omd ponies | 23:19 | |
| dmq | I dont remember the details, and im a few pints too close to the wind to look them up if you know what i mean, but something to do with autovivification comes into play | ||
| avar | autoviwhat? | 23:20 | |
| dmq | undef $ref->{$key}; $ref->{$key}{$subkey}=$foo; | 23:21 | |
| autovivification | |||
| Limbic_Region cracks open a cold one and wonders about the etymology of the phrase "3 sheets to the wind" | |||
| avar | auto-make keys? | ||
| dmq | not that hard L~R | 23:22 | |
| Limbic_Region | eval: my %hash; if ($hash{foo}{bar}) { } \%hash; | ||
| buubot | Limbic_Region: {foo => {}} | ||
| Limbic_Region | autovivication | 23:23 | |
| dmq | you make a sail tight to the wind by pulling on its sheet. If you pulled 3 sheets you did somethign wrong. :-) | ||
| thanks L~R, thats a good example. | |||
| Limbic_Region | that's the typical example of when you DON'T want autovivication to do what it does | 23:24 | |
| dmq | or maybe you dont care. | 23:25 | |
| :-) | |||
| but no question, sometimes it can be "interesting" | |||
| avar | that's really annoying | 23:26 | |
| dmq | iirc the problem is that autovivification doesnt propagate tiedness. | 23:27 | |
| avar | eval: my %hash; if (exists $hash{x}{y}{z}) {} \%hash | ||
| buubot | avar: {x => {y => {}}} | ||
| Limbic_Region | avar - yes, in p5 you must check each level in succession | ||
| avar | stupid p5 | ||
| dmq | so you have a tied structure and you want $x->{y}{z} to tie "y" and "z" as appropriate, but what happens is that {z} gets stored as an anonymous hash, and isnt tied. | 23:28 | |
| Limbic_Region | I think I had this conversation with japhy once and prompted him to create an autotie module | 23:29 | |
| Limbic_Region looks | |||
| yep | |||
| Tie::Autotie | |||
| used in Tie::IxHash::Easy | |||
| dmq mutters that it seems like its something that the core should deal with | 23:30 | ||
| Limbic_Region | *shrug* | ||
| dmq | i was thinking we should support an AUTOVIVIFY method. | 23:31 | |
| Limbic_Region | you mean for perl 5 or perl 6? | ||
| dmq | perl5 | 23:32 | |
| perl 6 presumably will do all of this in a sane way and we wont worry about crap like tie hooks. | |||
| Limbic_Region | dmq - to be quite frank, I don't want anymore new features for 5.10, I want 5.10 out the door yesterday | 23:33 | |
| dmq | did i say 5.10? | ||
| although, why not 5.10 :-) | 23:34 | ||
| dmq wonders how big a hack it would be. | |||
| Limbic_Region | well, it has now been 5 years | 23:35 | |
| dmq | yes well, a lot of water under the bridge and all that | ||
| avar | more 5.10 features!:) | 23:37 | |
| dmq | thinking of other things id rather delay a bit and make sure things are right than push it out right this second. | ||
| avar | but ya, development is sloooow:) | ||
| Limbic_Region | dmq - I am thinking more along the lines of code freeze for the purposes of ironing things out so it can get out the door | 23:39 | |
| dmq | for instance avar has been working on the regex engine, and id rather 5.10 has a good API in that regard before 5.10 than wait for 5.12 | ||
| Limbic_Region | dmq - rather than just saying ship it now in whatever state it is in | ||
| kattana_ | :o regex engines are relevant to my interests **currently hacking on their own** | ||
| Limbic_Region | but I keep hearing about new features | ||
| avar | mm, features | ||
| dmq | features arent necessarily a big deal (IMO), sometimes they are, sometimes they arent. | ||
| things are more nuanced than that. you can add a new feature in a few hours if you know the right things and know what you want. whats important is deeper issues like API's and abstraction layers and stuff like that. | 23:41 | ||
| Limbic_Region | I can see we will just have to disagree on this one | ||
| kattana_ | indeed, or midway through adding a new feature you have to rewrite big chunks | ||
| Limbic_Region | from my perspective, it doesn't matter how long it takes to implement nor how much of a risk it is | ||
| at some point you have to say - no more - otherwise you are in a perpetual state of development | 23:42 | ||
| and for the guys developing and using bleed, that probably isn't so bad | |||
| for the poor schmucks who need an official release to be out for a year or more before their shop will adopt it - it is excruciating | |||
| dmq | naw its not a matter of disagreeing really, its more a question of having a good handle on what kind of impacts things can have. Big things often have low impact because they are big, subtle things however can have HUGE impacts. | ||

| avar | dmq: I was thinking about perlapi functions to deal with regexp stuff | ||
| like SvRXOK() | |||
| dmq | interesting thought avar. | ||
| L~R, i can see what you mean. | 23:45 | ||

| dmq | The thing is there are some things you really want to get right on a major release. Once you release a major version you have to be binary compatible with all minor releases in that major version. Which means if you get something wrong it can take a long time to fix it. | 23:47 | |
| Limbic_Region | dmq - look, I can understand that. I can also understand how difficult it must be for the pumpking wrangling each contributors personal objectives | 23:49 | |
| I am not trying to propose an implementation plan roadmap or anything structured like that | |||
| but still - folks need to see perl competing with the other languages come lately | 23:50 | ||
| moritz | .oO( and if perl 5.10 is released in the next two months it might make it into Debian 4.1 Lenny ;-)Oo. |
23:51 | |
| dmq | newcomers advantage | ||
| we have to play behind the scenes and make it look like nothing has changed | |||
| avar | did ruby even exist when 5.8 came out?:) | 23:53 | |
| moritz | ruby was released '95 | 23:55 | |
| 5.8 was 2002 | 23:56 | ||
| avar: nice try ;-) | |||
| dmq | whats seven years amongst friends? | 23:57 | |
| moritz | more than half of a decade ;-) | ||
| time enough to decay (no pun intended) | |||
| dmq | feh. in geological terms its nothing. | ||
| :-) | |||
| Limbic_Region | actually 5.8 came out about the time I started with perl (2002-07-11) | 23:59 | |
