eternaleye I'm very tempted to write a Vim clone in Perl 6 now that Tene++ has Parrot's ncurses module handling colored output 00:01
For one thing, syntax hilighting would be very, very nice 00:02
00:08 gigabo left
cognominal I bet so, and if you do so, make sure to support dynamic highlighting, means when you click on an operator. it displays the operator token(s) in read and the operand in blue. With Perl 6 supporting an indefinite level of precedence, one need that to avoid defensive parentheses 00:11
s/level of precedence/number of precedence levels/ 00:12

Tene eternaleye: colored output has worked in rakudo vim for months. 00:54
eternaleye Tene: Do you mean rakudo ncurses? 00:56
Tene Yes.
eternaleye Also, there was something you fixed in there lately. If it wasn't color, was it unicode?
00:56 rafl joined
Tene No, unicode still doesn't work. 00:56
I have some thoughts, but haven't experimented. 00:57
eternaleye hm
Tene What I mentioned was figuring out how to use 256 colors in it.
eternaleye Ah

ewilhelm echo 'my $x ||= 8; $x++; say "hello $x";' > hello.pl; ./perl6 -e 'for 1..5 { evalfile("hello.pl") }' # alternates between printing 1 and 9 01:45
the ||= is obviously silly with 'my', but odd behavior 01:46
is evalfile() supposed to have the same lexical semantics as do 'file' ? 01:48
TimToady rakudo is still working out the kinks in their lexicals 01:49
diakopter the lexicals are kinky
ewilhelm I suppose Symbol '$x' not predeclared in <anonymous> (hello.pl:1) will ruin my bad idea there anyway 01:51
better to read a snippet of code into a string and compile that into a sub probably 01:52
01:56 sri_kraih left
KyleHa Is there anything Perl 6 outputs that's not an error message or warning? 02:05
I guess its version info... 02:06
I'm thinking that if we created a tree of exception classes, that would be a good place to go all i18n since that's the bulk of the program's self-created output.

jnthn Yes, or that. 12:24
In fact, preferably that.
frettled My typos are interesting.
jnthn: btw, my brain struggles a bit every time I see you typing «uff» :D 12:25
frettled isn't used to seeing that in English-language fora.

frettled jnthn: I know, i'ts Norwegian. :D
jnthn orly?
frettled Yet another interesting typo. Hmm. 12:29
masak: that works, too.
jnthn That wasn't the language I stole it from. :-)
Does it carry the same kind of meaning? (Like, "ouch"-ish"?)
masak I'd say it means the person is deflated in some way. 12:30
jnthn Yeah, sounds about right.
It's in Swedish too?
frettled It's a complaining onomatopoetic. 12:31
s/ti/i/
masak jnthn: I think so.
frettled It's in Danish as well, I think.
jnthn Heh
frettled Very Nordic.
jnthn It's used with similar sentiment in Slovak also.
frettled But it's also in American English, from the Norwegian immigrants. :)
masak but the register of the word seems to be in Donald Duck comics or similar.
12:32 iblechbot joined
jnthn Though by now has just slipped into my "probably works language-independent" bunch of vocab. ;-) 12:32
masak: BTW, not sure if I mentioned this before, but Slovak has loaned the Swedish word "skanzen". 12:33
It's the first Swedish loanword I've discovered. :-)
(I'm not sure it's spelt the same though in Swedish.)
masak "Skansen".
but that's originally a German word. 12:34
arnsholt jnthn: What does it mean in Slovak?
masak meaning "fortification" or some such.
jnthn In Slovak it means "open air museum".
masak: It means fortification in Swedish too? 12:35
masak jnthn: originally, yes. but nowadays it's mostly a famous open scene in Stockholm.
jnthn Ah, OK.
masak it's also a specific part on sailing boats. 12:36
jnthn So maybe a case of "take the name of something and generalize it while loaning it"
wayland76 And not to be confused with "Nansen" :)
jnthn More than a direct borrowing.
arnsholt Or, "loan something without knowing what it really means"
Surprisingly common phenomenon I think 12:37
jnthn Yes, I think so.
masak cargo culting.
12:38 adhoc is now known as lucychili
jnthn Along the lines of e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vauxhall#Vaux...nd_Pushkin 12:38

dukeleto parrot: new 'Random' 17:57
good localtime()
just a heads up, the latest Parrot no longer has the Random PMC, so currently Rakudo's src/builtins/any-(num|list).pir are failing to compile with r40560 18:00
18:00 dduncan joined 18:10 ZuLuuuuuu joined 18:21 iblechbot joined 18:25 kane_ joined
jnthn dukeleto: Any guidance on what Rakudo should do? 18:49
What replaced Random PMC for getting random numbers?
dukeleto jnthn: yes, I was attempting to get rakudo to try to use the new parrot revision, but I am running into roadblocks
jhnthn: there is now a rand() and srand() opcode 18:50
so you do ' .loadlib "math_ops" ' at the top of any file that wants to use rand/srand (they are dynops)
jnthn Ah, dynops? 18:51
OK.
dukeleto for example, rand $N0 sets $N0 to a random number between 0 and 1 and rand $I0 sets $I0 to a random integer between -2^31 and 2^31
jnthn: dynamically loadable opcodes, i.e. they can be modified without recompiling parrot
jnthn: I have modified the examples/ directory in parrot to use the new dynops, check out examples/opengsl/shapes.pir for a good example 18:52
there are also a few other calling conventions, like giving a range: rand $N0, 5, 25 sets $N0 to a float between 5 and 25 18:53
it should be a trivial fix in rakudo, but I am trying to get rakudo to use my new parrot without complaining, how do y'all test new versions of parrot with rakudo? 18:54
jnthn Few ways - once is to just svn up the checkout of Parrot that Rakudo makes for you if you, and make sure it installs to the right place etc. 18:55
You need an installed Parrot to build Rakudo. 18:56
If you have built/installed an updated version, then it's something like
dukeleto jnthn: that is what I didn't know
jnthn perl Configure.pl --parrot-config=path/to/parrot_config
dukeleto jnthn: you may be interested in looking at this diff to see what changed: trac.parrot.org/parrot/changeset/40557/
jnthn: i was trying that incantation and I was getting weird errors, will try make realcleaning everything and trying again 18:57
jnthn: this is what I got when I tried the --parrot-config option: gmake: *** No rule to make target `/usr/local/lib/parrot/1.4.0-devel/library/PGE/Perl6Grammar.pbc', needed by `src/gen_grammar.pir'. Stop.
so it looks like it is still trying to use the installed version. i may just rm -rf it
jnthn You need to install the Parrot you want to build against. 18:58
dukeleto jnthn: gotcha 18:59
dduncan so, I'm in the process of build/installing the packaged parrot 1.4.0 ... if, since it is more rapidly changing, I use Rakudo from version control, will it run on that parrot or do I need parrot from version control too? 19:06
19:07 KyleHa joined
dduncan or I could just use July's Rakudo release, but I'm writing a relatively large (over 100K) Perl 6 module now and I'm not sure which Rakudo version has all the features it would want 19:07
and if none, presumably working on the dev is the most effective

dukeleto dduncan: a new parrot will be out on tuesday and a new rakudo will be out thursday, so if you wait a bit you may get a bunch more features/bugfixes and you won't be behind an extra deprecation point 19:08
dduncan okay
I thought it wouldn't be another 1-2 weeks 19:09
19:09 shachaf_ is now known as shachaf
dduncan anyway, I have a goal to port my Set::Relation Perl 5 module to Perl 6 within a week, so you can use all the DBMS-relational operators in Perl 6 apps 19:10
jnthn dduncan: You'll probably run into some issues using current Rakudo on Parrot 1.4.
dduncan so I'll try packaged Rakudo first perhaps and then upgrade both next week
jnthn dduncan: I'd either do as dukeleto suggests, or just grab current Rakudo, do perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot, then mame.
erm, make
And it will probably do the Right Thing and build a Parrot that's known to work with Rakudo for you. 19:11
But yes, sticking wiht the packaged ones should work too. :-)
dduncan on a tangent, short-term my plan is to distribute the Perl 6 version on CPAN in the same distro as the Perl 5 version, sort of like a fat-source project ... the Perl 5 version would be in the usual place, and the p6v in a perl6 subdir with its own lib/ and t/ 19:12
dukeleto dduncan: perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot will have the least yak holes for you to fall into
dduncan dukeleto, okay so I'll try that rather than building parrot separately first
right at the moment I'm build/installing ICU 19:13
then I'll try that
19:13 frew joined
dukeleto dduncan: I can assure you that the latest rakudo does not work with the latest parrot, 'cause I am the one that removed the Random PMC which makes things go *boom* :) 19:13
jnthn Aye, but --gen-parrot doesn't build latest Parrot. It builds a Parrot revision that we know that Rakudo worked under. :-) 19:14
dduncan jnthn, that's good
dukeleto jnthn: yes, that is what I was trying to get at
dduncan: don't attempt to "svn up" your parrot directory in your rakudo source directory, it won't work. That is what I was trying to get across 19:15
dduncan okay
I understood
jnthn dukeleto: Thanks for working on patching up Rakudo after the Parrot changes, btw. :-)
dukeleto jnthn: no prob, i will hopefully have something working once I get past my installed parrot hurdles 19:16

Tene No, it isn't.
You need parens or a colon for method calls. 19:24
jnthn No, it's just because Perl 6 syntax requires arguments to method calls to follow a colon or be in parens.
mzedeler Sorry. That was really basic. Hmmm. Still lots to learn.
Thanks!
I'll go back to my code now.
Tene That's fine. No problems. :)
I do that all the time.
mzedeler There is a lot to learn. Really. 19:25
jnthn For sure.
19:26 ZuLuuuuuu left 19:28 gdickie left
dukeleto jnthn: mind taking a gander at this? gist.github.com/168433 19:29
jnthn: I am having trouble building rakudo with an installed parrot
jnthn That's...odd. :-/ 19:41
masak mzedeler: I'm picking up expecant vibes from people who have heard that you're going to send an email to p6l about nextsame et al. 19:42
mzedeler: I'm looking forward to it also.
mzedeler Hehe. Yes. Will do. Right now I am just writing code to get a better idea about the whole thing.
But I am reading S12 on the side.
jnthn dukeleto: Does /usr/local/lib/parrot/1.4.0-devel/library/PCT/HLLCompiler.pbc 19:43
exist?
(nextsame) Eek, best get my grant final report in before the spec moves! ;-)
masak mzedeler: goodie.
mzedeler jnthn: I am happy with nextsame and friends, but .*, .+ and some other wierd invocation rites really has me scared. 19:44
jnthn mzedeler: .*, .+ and .? do not really interact with nextsame and friends.
masak jnthn: they don't? o_O
mzedeler Sounds somewhat strange to me too. 19:45
jnthn masak: $foo.@candidates and $foo.*@things_to_call mean different things.
masak jnthn: oh, I look forward to understanding in what way. :)
dukeleto jnthn: no it does not. /usr/local/lib/parrot/1.4.0-devel/library/PCT does not seem to exist
jnthn The first means "instead of the dispatcher computing the candidate list that we can defer through on nextsame et al, here is the list to use". 19:46
The second means "I want you to call all of these methods on $foo"
If you have $foo.bar and in bar it does a nextsame, that works out just fine. It just defers to the next candidate that the dispatcher finds. 19:47
$foo.*bar walks through all candidates and individually invokes them.
mzedeler But what about interactions between $foo.*bar and nextsame?
jnthn A nextsame in an individual invocation does not influence the outer "todo list".
Also, if you're using $foo.*bar and $foo.+bar you really should have written classes that expect to be invoked that way. 19:48
mzedeler Yes, but I guess it will result in many calls to the parent class.
jnthn Right.
mzedeler Why do we want that?
jnthn Hell knows, I didn't spec it, I just implement this stuff. ;-)
$foo.?bar is *the* really useful one, IMO.
mzedeler Sure. I think its a good attitude.
Agreed.
jnthn .+ and .* to be honest I have yet to find a really good use-case for. 19:49
mzedeler Same here.
masak but doesn't BUILDALL call BUILD with .* ?
mzedeler Something much more mundane: I guess this autoextension of arrays is not intended?
rakudo: my @a; say @a.perl; say "Not defined" if not @a[10]; say @a.perl 19:50
p6eval rakudo 0d4fe0: OUTPUT«[]␤Not defined␤[undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, undef]␤»
jnthn mzedeler: No, known rakudo bug.
mzedeler Okay. Thanks.
19:50 KyleHa left
mzedeler I'll go back to my binary tree :-) 19:50
jnthn masak: Maybe you could implement it that way *but* it'd be a .*@foo form, since BUILD is descendent, and .* by default is ascendent. 19:51
Oh
And also it's meant to work a bit more like a subcall. 19:52
dukeleto jnthn: chromatic learned me. i wasn't doing a "make install-dev", only "make install"
jnthn dukeleto: OH!
chromatic++
:-)
mzedeler: I guess with .+ and .* I'd be more convinced of them if I saw a use-case. 19:53
I guess there's some argument that since we have .? they follow on logically.
mzedeler I can see that, but just like the eq= operator, some tuples in such logical "cross products" may better be left unimplemented. 19:54
jnthn Aye. 19:55
mzedeler But I understand I have to appeal to higher authorities to change it :-)
jnthn That's fine, I think it's a discussion very much worth having. 19:56

masak I smell a bug.
TimToady masak's looks like an infinite regress to me 20:52
masak oh!
jnthn I'm not sure why it *doesn't* infinitely recurse in fact...
TimToady generally a new method should call bless
masak because of the implicit *%_ ?
jnthn masak: Right.
masak TimToady: yes, but I thought I was delgating to Object.new...
TimToady if you want to do that really, then use nextwith() 20:53

jnthn Oh! :-/
masak seems to be something to do with the invocant...
jnthn Well
Kinda.
Hmm. I'm not sure off-hand why that doesn't work. 20:57
masak but it should, so it goes on the RT pile.
jnthn One of the annoyances of implementing callwith and nextwith is that in the case of them being used to defer to another method, they need to find and pass on the invocant. 20:58
Whereas in the case of a wrap, they maybe don't.
masak ah. tricky. 20:59
jnthn Yeah.
It'd not surprise me if we have bugs there.

mzedeler Thats really nice. The range operator is a range constructor and it supports open as well as closed intervals. Wow.
jnthn :-)
21:27 molaf left
mzedeler I found that the spec mentions eqv and cmp /subs/ (not infix operators) taking a third canonization closure. They seem to be missing? 21:27
jnthn didn't know about those. 21:39
Where in the spec are they? S03?
mzedeler Yes. See "Comparison semantics". 21:40

It may also be me who (again) didn't get the invocation syntax right. 21:41

22:01 ZuLuuuuuu left
jnthn mzedeler: Ah, I think those functions are just not yet implemented in Rakudo. 22:03
If you can work out how to write implementations for them in Perl 6, then we can always add them to the setting. :-)
mzedeler I came to the same conclusion. It seems that I may be able to write them. 22:04
Will look into that.
jnthn mzedeler: You can enclose it as a nested array perhaps
rakudo: my $i = 1 ^.. 10; print $i ~~ 1; my @a; @a.push([$i]); say @a.perl;
p6eval rakudo 0d4fe0: OUTPUT«0[[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]]␤»
jnthn heh, nope.
mzedeler But the nested arrays would still expand... 22:05
jnthn yeah
So I see.
mzedeler :-)
jnthn Maybe something capture-ish...
mzedeler I can always put them in some kind of opaque container object, but that is a hack.
jnthn Though I fear that may do the same...
rakudo: my $i = 1 ^.. 10; print $i ~~ 1; my @a; @a.push(\($i)); say @a.perl;
p6eval rakudo 0d4fe0: OUTPUT«0[1^..10]␤»
mzedeler Wow!
Nice.
A reference? 22:06
jnthn Captures are kinda reference-ish, yes.
But a bit more than that.
mzedeler I have a lot to learn. Thanks for your time.
