colomon pmichaud: I decided I really wanted to have a very basic set of range tests we can pass now for refactoring it.
pmichaud sounds like a good idea 03:58
colomon I've created t/02-basic/01-range.t here and hooked it up.
pmichaud okay
colomon is that a good name / approach? (hooked it up to make test, I mean.)
pmichaud works for me. Is there any reason why we can't have basic range tests in t/spec, though? 03:59
colomon Something like t/spec/blah/range-basic.t?
pmichaud sure
colomon works for me, I just thought you'd suggested the t/02-basic approach.
pmichaud this is partially why I've carped from time to time about some of the spectests relying on too many advanced p6 features
I did suggest the t/02-basic approach, but I'd prefer that as a fallback position rather than a primary one 04:00
colomon okay, I'll move what I've got over to the spectest.
(and what I've got is really, really slight so far. :) 04:01
pmichaud that just seems easier overall, and given that we hope other implementations of Perl 6 will be coming up, it would be useful for them also.
colomon though now that I've said it, I may have to hack on master a bit to get even what I've got now working there. :)
pmichaud well, it doesn't have to go into spectest.data in master :) 04:03
colomon BTW, the problem here is just that the range.t tests are way too complex. The first one is "is ~(3..6), "3 4 5 6", which requires the operator to work, the range to be constructed properly, and stringification to act in a certain way which I'm not sure is actually in the spec.
pmichaud: good point! :) 04:04

PerlJam cognominal: but which consonants would you not pronounce? :)

cognominal I don't know any definitve rule for the place of the ajectives which come usually last. 14:12
PerlJam TimToady++ (s/contextual/dynamic/ Isn't that were we started? :)
masak cognominal: when I learned French, I was taught that they all come last except for a select few.
cognominal Sometimes, the meaning varies with the postiion : "Un homme grand" is a tall guy, but "un grand homme" is an very important man. De Gaulle was both 14:13
masak: yes, that the general rule. 14:14
masak cognominal: nodnod. that makes very much sense, because the most meaning-carrying word gets to go first.
cognominal more funny is the sexism, "un homme public" is a well-known man, "une femme publique" is a prostitute 14:15
masak all too common in languages.
moritz_ we have that (most important first) in Perl 6 too
masak a wizard is something cool. a witch is something bad.
moritz_ that's why you can write statement-modifying 'if', 'for', 'while'

moritz_: I'm sure I could think up more pairs than witch/wizard, too. 14:17
moritz_ yes, sure
PerlJam I don't think I've heard tell of a "nice witch" or a "kind witch" or a "beautiful witch" (Except in Oz)
usually they are evil and/or ugly
colomon PerlJam: Think of Oz. Two bad witches, two nice witches. 14:18
PerlJam as I said, except in Oz
colomon ah, yes. :)
Oz and Harry Potter.
PerlJam Aesop certainly had a very negative view of witches 14:19
And the brothers Grimm as well (but they seemed to be very negative towards everybody)
moritz_ I guess 'sorceress' isn't exactly very positive either :-) 14:20
colomon in my head, if I strip away modern stuff, wizard is pretty dodgy as well.
maybe not always out and out evil, but dark and mysterious and arrogant. 14:21
moritz_ colomon: I guess you count Tolkien as "modern"?
colomon moritz_: he certainly is next to Aesop and Grimm.
moritz_ because Gandalf is one of the most likeable characters in LOTR and Little Hobbit, IMHO 14:23
colomon and even in Tolkien, dark and mysterious and arrogant fits Saruman to a T, and really isn't that far from Gandalf.

colomon masak: It might not have the same effect on people who weren't 9 when they saw it the first time. :)
PerlJam moritz_: indeed
colomon PerlJam: yes
moritz_ OTOH it was way too long for a single movie anyway :-)
PerlJam: I found that the LOTR movies are good if you treat them as disconnected from the book 14:33
PerlJam moritz_: yes, I suppose that's true.
But I've read the books so many times, I *know* the story and the movies aren't quite it
colomon I'm guess I'm something of a heretic -- IMO the movies strip away a lot of cruft from the books. They're definitely not perfect, but at this point I'd be more inclined to rewatch the movies than to reread the books. 14:34
PerlJam I can understand leaving out things like their encounter with Tom Bombadil but other things are less forgiving.

KyleHa colomon: I don't think you need done_testing; if your plan has an explicit number (I'm looking at range-basic.t).
pmichaud interesting conversation in #parrot last night about compilation performance; thread starts at irclog.perlgeek.de/parrot/2009-11-20#i_1751189
colomon KyleHa: You're probably right. :)
pmichaud takeaway: mark and sweep is killing us
KyleHa colomon: Also, I think the best way to test the result of .perl is to eval() it since there might be multiple legitimate (but not string eq) ways to represent what's getting serialized. 15:23
colomon: And thanks for range-basic.t ! 8-) 15:24

[particle]: Good idea.

jnthn pmichaud: That's more than I'd have expected. 15:25
profiling++
pmichaud well, let's think about it this way
15:25 cognominal joined
pmichaud when compiling (nqp) Actions.pm, we end up creating 23,994 Capture objects 15:26
that sounds about rightish to me, given that every parse, PAST, and POST node is a Capture object
masak o.O
pmichaud (they're trees, after all)
furthermore, they're long lived
so, as our source programs get bigger, we end up (repeatedly) mark+sweep on that entire tree 15:27
KyleHa How often does Parrot collect garbage? 15:28
jnthn Yes, thus the need for a more generational scheme.
pmichaud in that particular run, there were 92 gc runs 15:29
resulting in 500,000 marks of Capture objects
15:29 rfordinal joined
masak o.O 15:30
jnthn Given that so far, two GSOC projects iirc have tried to improve GC and not ended up getting merged back (granted, the code likely got a bunch cleaner), I'm not optimistic of that changing too soon... :-/
masak that sounds computationally intensive. half a million marks.
pmichaud that's half a million marks for 24,000 PMCs 15:31
so each one of those PMCs ended up being marked (on average) about 20 times
jnthn That's seriously painful.
pmichaud note that by way of comparison, close to 3.5 million PMCs were created for PCC
jnthn Well yes. 15:32
pmichaud but they resulted in far fewer gc marks
jnthn Right, 'cus they die very young.
pmichaud exactly
jnthn Almost alwys.
pmichaud 1.8 million Context and CallSig PMCs resulted in only 30,000 marks.
jnthn They're probably for the most part found unreachable and so we need not mark them. 15:33
Juerd Hmm, 3.5 cookies :)
+million
jnthn
.oO( 3.5 million stroopwaffels )
Juerd s/ff/f/
pmichaud jnthn: yeah. So, we were concerned about contexts-as-pmcs increasing GC pressure.... but that tends to not happen much 15:34
jnthn Well, yes and no.
pmichaud relatively speaking it doesn't happen much, because what matters is not how many context pmcs get created, but how many are live when gc runs occur
jnthn We still pay an allocation/collection cost.
15:34 alester joined
pmichaud well, we were getting allocation/collection cost even when they weren't PMCs 15:34
jnthn But they don't stay around and need marking.
Yes, true.
pmichaud (maybe not as much, but we did have to allocate/collect contexts) 15:35
anyway, I'm wondering if we could use this information to get another parrot hackathon to fix gc :)
similar to the way we got people working on pccupdate
jnthn :-S
Dunno. It's non-trivial to design and implement and debug. 15:36
pmichaud true, but whiteknight already has a good start on it
and pcc was also non-trivial to design and implement and debug
anyway, I think I may post these numbers to parrot-dev and see how people respond 15:37
jnthn Yes, it's worth making the bottleneck more widely known.

diakopter qp_pq: objection overruled 17:33
(kidding) - what is it?
qp_pq since the syntax of p6 hasn't yet come to a stable form(prove me wrong?) try to keep the code in teh book pseudo-code for now...or you can just link to it outside the book...
like, a book is very good to make the language known and such...
but if the language is not finished
can you expect someone coming(who doesn't know what to expect)
he comes and writes a few lines of Perl6 seems something is broken 17:34
(very likely I presume)
he will get the bad idea
diakopter qp_pq: that's a good idea (each code example has a tinyurl to its updated form online), but the current version should still be printed
qp_pq so first finish the language, then you can publish a big book on it and everyone will be happy
(including me)
Tene ew ew tinyurl
diakopter at least some id.
Tene and what happens when tinyurl dies? or if they expire old links? 17:35
diakopter I don't mean _the_ tinyurl
I mean the book's site
or github. or whatever. 17:36

Tene qp_pq: Are you saying that nobody should do any work on a book until the language is "finished"?
qp_pq: also, what language do you know that is "finished" and allows no additional changes? 17:37
TimToady if you print out a book for an alpha-ish chunk of code, it should warn you at the front, and that should be sufficient warning for an attentive reader
17:38 rgrau joined
TimToady but part of the bootstrap of Perl 6 is to get people to start using preliminary implementations to flush out the problems 17:38
Tene qp_pq: The book is likely going to discuss Perl 6 as it is when Rakudo Star is released, is my understanding. The majority of the language implemented so far hasn't changed much, and the changes aren't made for no reason... they're in response to real problems people are encountering.
TimToady we'll probably go into a design "slush" when rakudo * comes out so that we can converge on a solution for 6.0.0 17:40
we'll still tweak things after that, but we'll start marking more issues for "post 6.0.0" 17:41

KyleHa Nice.
TimToady S for sequential/serial/synchronous/short-circuit 19:20
and with relationship to sink/sync
not to mention single-threaded
pmurias TimToady: what's the point of suppresing out-of-order execution made by the optimizer? 19:23
TimToady if you know that the optimizer is going to make a suboptimal decision in the larger scheme of things, like using up a bunch of threads to do something fast that is not going to be used soon. 19:26
things the optimizer can't know
but it also gives us S& and S| for free, not to mention S^ and S«op» 19:27
the optimizer can't know how safe some evalutions are, because figuring that out might be a halting-ish problem

TimToady: the people that will be using it will all be testers... an average Perl6 user might require a good baggage of Perl5 and some serious functional programming experience... 20:19
pugs_svn r29157 | lwall++ | [S03] tweaks, add conjectural RSR case
qp_pq Tene: yes, but about 3 books on Perl6 have already been rendered obsolete so far... 20:20
TimToady and all of them have said, "This is all subject to change". or should have... 20:21

TimToady the optimal strategy for coming up with a 100-year language does not involve freezing designs that will come back to haunt us later. 20:23
the process must be convergent, but forcing convergence to rapidly is as suboptimal longterm as forcing it too slowly. 20:24
*too
japhb TimToady, What exactly does 'fiddly' mean in the context of infix operators? 20:29
20:30 Exodist joined
TimToady it is precisely those operators to show up marked as "fiddly" when the metaoperator decides whether to allow it or not. 20:39
pugs_svn r29158 | kyle++ | [t/spec] more rational relational tests
TimToady most fiddly markings come straight from the precedence table
but an operator can declare itself to be fiddly or non-fiddly as well
20:40 astrojp_ left 20:41 astrojp joined
TimToady mostly, it means, "has strange side-effects" such as control flow or modifying its arguments 20:41
in a similar vein, the % operator declares itself to be 'iffy' so that !% works 20:42
qp_pq can a language like Perl6 have a person saying 20:44
"hey, let's get a f*cking plan together and finish this thing ?"
or is this too hostile ?
why doesn't this happen ? does someone always come up with a new idea
TimToady eh, people do that all the time, only politely
qp_pq and then effort is dispersed in that direction ?
TimToady when you say "why can't we all go this direction", I immediately get a picture of the respected doctor in the original Posaidon Adventure 20:46
who confidently led a large group of people to the bow of the ship, where they all died. :)
*Poseidon 20:47
so I always listen very hard to the little boys who think the emperor has no clothes, because sometimes they're right. 20:50
KyleHa Let's all go this direction: www.code-muse.com/blog/wp-content/u...021001.jpg 20:51
TimToady if that gives the appearance of herding cats, then so be it
qp_pq TimToady: just watched the trailer to poseidon adventur
TimToady cats is all we've got
qp_pq TimToady: funny as hell www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd03qev59Jo
TimToady: thanks for a good laugh
sjohnson qp_pq: the new one or old one? 20:52
TimToady dunno if the new one matches the old one in plat though, never saw the new one
QtPlaty[HireMe] TimToady: Sometimes the little boys who say the emperor has no cloaths are boys who cry wolf. To compleatly mangle a metaphore.
TimToady *plot
qp_pq sjohnson: I only saw one trailer(the '70s one)
sjohnson new one is technologically "newer", ie, cell phones, portable game systems that kids use, etc
and the tables aren't nailed to the floor as in the old one
except for the piano 20:53
my uncle when he was a child was given the novel, and he misread it as "the positron adventure". he was probably a bit disappointed when he started reading the book
TimToady wow, Blue Angels-ish critters flying overhead
it's one of those films I classify as heavily existentialist, along with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 20:54
qp_pq TimToady: I saw 2012 20:55
TimToady: and today 30 days of night
they were both incredible crap
KyleHa Is 2012 a sequel to 2010? 20:56
TimToady yeah, well, I saw Star Wars when it was just *one* movie, and it was pretty okay. :)
pity GL learned the wrong lessons at several points 20:57
perigrin Star Wars before it had a subtitle. 21:00

it was a very confusated movie

but it was interesting to watch
sjohnson one reason why i enjoyed it so much

pmurias TimToady: why do we allow the optimiser choice in marking a routine as hard or soft? won't it lead to portability problems? 21:15

TimToady: hard - HardRoutine, soft - SoftRoutine 21:20
[particle] i wonder if we'll talk about operations being Sandy or Sorry
(S metaop)++ 21:22
TimToady pmurias: it is necessary to give optimizers some room to cheat, or they can never optimize anything, and you either end up with an unoptimizable language, or a B&D language 21:23
we're looking for a happy medium 21:24
because neither extreme is happy.

TimToady when it comes to optimizers, Don't Care is as important as Yes and No. 21:26
