sjohnson hi Hurley
Hurley if i compile the perl6 developer version. Can i use perl5 modules? 00:07
sjohnson i dont believe the use v5 translator is ready yet 00:08
frettled That's right, it's not a top priority. 00:12
But as I understand it, it _is_ a priority, it's just that there are Perl 6 specific issues that are considered more important to fix first. 00:13
Strange that they want to finish fiddling with the actual language before adding legacy sugar, eh? ;)
sjohnson frettled: i suppose Perl 5 is something that'll be hard to say goodbye too :) 00:19

rhuxton Hi all - just spent my first hour playing with rakudo and it feels like Christmas already :-) Is there a "perlish" way to sort a hash and split key/value at the same time?
11:54 SmokeMachine joined

p6eval rakudo 3867ff: ( no output )
moritz_ don't know why p6eval doesn't like that 11:56
rebuilding now, I think it should work
$ perl6 -e 'my %h = (c => 1, b => 2, a => 3); say %h.sort».kv.perl'
[["a", 3], ["b", 2], ["c", 1]]
$ perl6 -e 'my %h = (c => 1, b => 2, a => 3); say %h.sort.map({ @(.kv)}).perl' 11:57
["a", 3, "b", 2, "c", 1]
hejki erm
my rakudo does the first one right
moritz_ might be a problem with the evalbot :(
hejki oh
:>
btw.. >> > » :) 11:58
11:58 payload left
moritz_ anyway, that sorts the pairs in the hash, and then turns the pairs into lists 11:58
rhuxton Thanks moritz_ - I'm getting a "StopIteration" from rakudo after the first two pairs, but that's probably a buglet in the precise version of rakudo I grabbed. Off to read up about ">>" now :-) 12:01
moritz_ @array>>.method just calls method on every array element
StopIteration is the less-than-awesome error message you often get when you iterate with two variables over an odd number of of elements 12:02
rakudo: for 1, 2, 3 -> $a, $b { say "$a|$b" }
p6eval rakudo 3867ff: 1|2␤StopIteration␤in Main (file <unknown>, line <unknown>)␤
rhuxton Ah, then it's a bug in the precise version of rakudo I grabbed then (since the other ways of hash-sorting work fine). I'll do a "git pull" (if that's the equivalent of svn update) and try again later. 12:05
hejki rakudo: for 1..4 -> $a, $b { if 1 % ($a|$b) { say "foo" } } 12:06
p6eval rakudo 3867ff: foo␤foo␤
hejki dang.. typo :P
rakudo: for 1..4 -> $a, $b { if 2 % ($a|$b) { say "foo" } }

pmurias diakopter: hi 12:09
rhuxton [cue light-bulb going on sound-effect] Ah, the kv method is on Pair, as well as Hash. 12:10
moritz_ right
there's even a .kv method on List
rakudo: say <a b c>.kv.perl
p6eval rakudo 3867ff: [0, "a", 1, "b", 2, "c"]␤
moritz_ arrays have keys also 12:11
usually called index
rhuxton OK, Next question: how do I find what methods Pair (or any other class) support? Happy enough using ack to rummage through source if necessary.
moritz_ ack is good :-)
rakudo: say Pair.^methods».name.join(' ')
p6eval rakudo 3867ff: perl ACCEPTS get_string Scalar fmt key value pairs kv atan ord acos :l eval chop tanh int atanh cosec :s chars roots uc reverse keys isa ucfirst tan log10 substr cos bytes pick fmt evalfile acosec join sinh asinh cosech trim asec chr acotanh floor sech asech rand truncate sort round
..rinde…
moritz_ rakudo: say Pair.^methods(:local)».name.join(' ') 12:12
p6eval rakudo 3867ff: value pairs kv perl ACCEPTS get_string Scalar fmt key␤
rhuxton Aha! Introspection. Good :) What's the caret mean there? I know of its use in regexps, closure-variable-thingummies and junctions. 12:16
moritz_ it means "call a method on the meta class" 12:17
rhuxton Because "Pair" itself returns an instance of class Pair rather than an object representing the class, presumably. 12:21
moritz_ rhuxton: no, because introspection is handled by the meta class 12:22
rakudo: say ~(a => 3).^methods(:local)».name
p6eval rakudo 3867ff: get_string Scalar fmt key value pairs kv perl ACCEPTS␤
moritz_ that's with a Pair object, and it looks exactly the same
rhuxton Hmm - time to restart the reading / playing cycle I think :-) 12:24
moritz_: thanks very much - most helpful.
moritz_ rhuxton: you're welcome. And feel free to continue asking

Su-Shee if I role-d something into a class with a role and I inherit this class, do I get the roled in stuff with it or would I have to role in again? 12:53
moritz_ you get the composed methods an atributes
composing a role is a lot like writint these methods and attributes in the class directly 12:54
Su-Shee assume, I did a role somethere in class A, inherited it and now I'm including the same role in Class F (which already inherited everything) - are role methods and attributes overwritten? can they be overloaded? 12:56

flip214 Hello, short question again ... 14:19
14:20 pmurias left
rodi PerlJam++: mm, shiny :) s/Junctions/Junction/ . 14:21
flip214 Is there a way to make a function signature that allows some parameter with a specified class (sub x(myClass obj))
which then accepts *only* this class, and not any derived?
But maybe that doesn't make sense ... or does it?
If an inherited class is passed as parameter, is it "dumbed down" to the lower-level class object before being passed? 14:22
I feel confused ...
mathw standard OO polymorphism
it'll accept an instance of any derived type
you could use a where clause to do an exact check, I think
PerlJam flip214: sub foo (my Thingy $x where { .isa(Thingy) }) { ... }
mathw but it should be very rare to need such a thing
as it's an indicator of a dodgy OO design 14:23
PerlJam flip214: what mathw said.
flip214 thanks
perljam: but wouldn't that check the lower-level object already?
14:23 colomon left
flip214 So that sub foo($x where { .isa(myClass) }) would work? Avoids the repetition, too. 14:24
PerlJam yeah, that would work. 14:25
not sure about the order of the checks though; specifying the nominal type may avoid the constraint check entirely when you accidently pass some non-MyClass object. But whatever ... that's probably a premature optimization :) 14:26
Ha! from #perl ... 14:28
< squeeky> perl6 actually exists. "cloud computing" is exactly what a cloud is. vapor.
flip214 Well, was just some thought. Thank you very much! 14:29
14:29 flip214 left
PerlJam Clearly we are making progress when people start saying "perl6 actually exists" :) 14:29
mathw yes
although without context it's impossible to tell if it was sarcastic
14:29 Guest27641 left
mathw I'm assuming it wasn't 14:30
PerlJam It wasn't I don't think. The text leading up to the statement had me all set to defend Perl 6 as not being vapor, but then he went in the unexpected direction to claim that it was cloud computing that was vapor

Tene I've worried a little bit a few times about the length of the smartmatch table contradicting the stated goal of p6 to avoid memorizing arbitrary lists. 17:37
TimToady the point is to put all the memorizing into one spot
PerlJam and most of that table is "obvious" 17:38
the thing that it does is the thing you'd expect given the two sides of ~~ 17:39
TimToady and given that you don't expect symmetry, *cough*
PerlJam well, that's part of the non-obvious :)

Tene Any ~~ Pair isn't quite obvious to me, I guess. I'd expect to do method smartmatches with *.foo, not :foo
So I'm not quite convinced of the utility, but maybe I should think on it more.
TimToady the :foo form is more easily negated, and arguably looks simpler in a junction 17:41
Tene nods.
TimToady though a junction of closures oughta work, I suppose 17:42
Tene Not a real objection at all, just thinking out loud.
TimToady and p5 programmers are expecting a special form for filetests anyway
it's easy to translate -f to :f in your head 17:43
Tene :foo is :foo(1) or :foo(Bool::True) ? 17:45
PerlJam yes :)
Tene :P
moritz_ True
not 1

moritz_
.oO( but not 1 is False, so that answer wasn't very helpful :-)
 17:46
PerlJam I'm probably going to write :foo(0) before I write :foo(False) though
(see? I just did it)
Tene PerlJam: !:foo is standard for negated, iirc.
PerlJam Tene: right. I was just commenting on the :foo() form. 17:47
17:48 pmurias left
TimToady :!foo, not !:foo 17:49
then there's :0foo
PerlJam but that's :0fun 17:50

TimToady and do you really want people to get confused by things like :none
17:55 SmokeMachine left
TimToady "don't go northeast?" O_o 17:55
PerlJam nothing at all, but someone always seems to introduce a "no" prefix to negate something
TimToady someone is always wrong 17:56
negation should not be inband with identifiers
PerlJam inventory?

TimToady actually, at the moment I'd rather have a Hash 17:59
takadonet need more people upvoting Tene comment on reddit!
diakopter I was going to say, Tea Pot and Tea Hash seem redundant
TimToady well, why didn't you?
diakopter I guess we'll never know
huf it's better if you blend the two, so no, not redundant
but the tea bit is confusing me 18:00
cognominal I am using the parrot/tools/dev/create_language.pl but want to use nqp instead of perl 6. I tweaked the generated Makefile but parrot does not want to compile the perl6 generated pir file : /Users/stef/git/rakudo/parrot_install/bin/parrot -o psal.pbc src/Psal.pir
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected PREG, expecting '(' ('$P40')
any idea what I am doing wrong
diakopter probably something in what you're typing
moritz_ cognominal: uhm, I thought create_language.pl defaulted to NQP? 18:01
cognominal moritz_, that's my point
moritz_ cognominal: so you want perl6 instead of nqp??
s/'??'/?/ :-)
cognominal but why a pir file generated by perl6 would not be acceptable to parrot? 18:02
moritz_ because rakudo needs some dynops
that need to be loaded
cognominal moritz_, hum, why that would explain a syntax error? 18:03
18:03 lmc joined
Tene cognominal: Parrot questions are more appropriate in #parrot on irc.perl.org 18:04
cognominal I want perl6 because I can't remember the used subset. Also I am just refactoring code that worked before using the create_language tool chain
18:04 rachelBROWN left
moritz_ cognominal: IMCC knows about operators. If it doesn't know about dynops => syntax error 18:05
Tene cognominal: you need to make sure that rakudo is loaded before the generated PIR is parsed.
put "load_language 'perl6'" in a :immediate sub at the start of the file.

moritz_ no idea 18:18

Cool is on the list right before it, though :)
PerlJam rodi: Just that you can get a typed but undefined value for any class in that manner I think 18:28
rodi: (no, there is no official Widget class :) 18:29
cognominal I asked TimToady : <cognominal>TimToady, btw, S02 mentions the class Widget twice without ever saying what it is 18:30

cognominal "But what you really want to know about is the future state of Perl. That's nice. I don't know much about the future of Perl. Nobody does. That's part of the design of Perl 6. Since we're designing it to be a mutable language, it will probably mutate." 18:45
Only change is for sure. Let's explain that to people who want a stable perl 6
rodi I sure like the semantics of KeySet. 18:47
diakopter tbf, that's a poor excuse. while *want*ing isn't a bad thing (demanding is), holding accountable to [poorly set/managed] expectations isn't always bad. just because one might want to adjust the expectations now doesn't mean they weren't mis-aligned in the past. 18:48
cognominal tbf?

cognominal that's S01? 18:52
diakopter those are very different messages
18:54 goksie left
diakopter "Only change is for sure. Let's explain that to people who want a stable perl 6" is caustic and communicates nothing but derision, futility, scorn, apathy, but most of all, _impunity_. 18:58
PerlJam Hmm. 19:00
I think your projecting a tad much of yourself into those sentences. 19:01
s/your/you're/
diakopter if that's true, it buttresses "it takes one to know one" :/ 19:02
PerlJam (or, put another way, I don't see derision, scorn, or apathy at all) 19:03
diakopter oh
I wasn't describing the denotation. I was describing the possible connotations.
cognominal designing for change is just typical perl hubris... 19:04
PerlJam Well, futility is something that most humans are going to need to learn anyway :)
19:05 IllvilJa joined
PerlJam diakopter: Sure, those are all possibilities ... it all depends on what baggage the reader brings with them as to how they interpret the text. 19:06
diakopter I agree. I think it's important to consider the reader's/hearer's baggage. 19:07
inasmuch as it communicates futility & impunity, it can sting with derision/scorn/apathy. 19:09
19:11 rgrau_ joined
PerlJam It's a slippery fish no matter how you look at it. You should consider the reader, but you can't be responsible for their take on your text. They have to own up to their interpretation and you have to own up to possibly not being clear. So then you dialog. 19:12
cognominal now I crash parrot :( 19:13
at least load_language was the right thing
diakopter I'm not claiming that a communicator is entirely responsible for the interpretation, but certainly largely.
but "Only change is for sure." is just plain wrong 19:14
cognominal good thing is that it is in load_language...
diakopter: plain wrong? I thought it as a tautology :)
diakopter "only change is for sure" was true only prior to the first Apocalypse.
