lichtkind mberends: allright so lets clean the second half there 00:10
mberends: you want to do first?
mberends I would suggest generally each subheading remains as the only word, and the text below each heading becomes a subpage. But there may be exceptions.. 00:13
Development Status, Downloads, Online Documentation can all do that 00:14
Products and Services should maybe just disappear 00:15
Other Information, oops, a new spam there. No good to us, we're not teens ;) 00:16
lichtkind mberends: im not that radical but i would first put some meat into the implementations page
mberends: and maybe create about perl 6 page from where goes all the general term infos as links 00:18
mberends lichtkind: ok you do that, I'll get started on implementations
lichtkind mberends: allright so you write the implementations page and i clean the front page? 00:19

snarkyboojum lue: check out the get() method in RangeIter, the 'if $current after $!max' never evaluates to true for a whole bunch of ranges, that's why 'A'..'£' goes on forever :) 01:51

lue will add the support of the Earth into RangeIter (the problem seems to lie in the after infix
lichtkind mberends: i kepht the about section on the bottom. still dunno what to do with that
snarkyboojum lue: so those ranges will never cross the boundaries of the ranges defined in src/builtins/Str.pir, i.e. 'A' .. 'z' etc
lue there should not be any boundaries, except the first and last characters of unicode (IMO) 02:06
snarkyboojum check out the RANGES constant in src/builtins/Str.pir
mberends lichtkind: some of it is fossil, can be deleted. Maybe just one or two horizontal sentences with all the links in specific keywords? 02:07
lichtkind mberends: do it but wait a second i just reinsert camelia now 02:08
snarkyboojum there are explicitly defined increment/decrement ranges
mberends Camelia will look better than a table of contents, for sure 02:09

mberends lichtkind: you'd better preview them both and then decide, I don't know 02:10

mberends phew! now to get back to what I was studying before ;) 02:20
lue why they can't un-unify the Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters and put them in that extra space, who knows?
arlinius I do tend to agree that ranges should work for all of Unicode. On the other hand, maybe the Range class also needs a 'universe' attribute for working with smaller ranges. Define your universe to 'A'..'Z' and you get 'Z'.succ => 'AA'. 02:21
02:22 mberends left

pmichaud okay. I'll look at it closely in just a bit.

pmichaud or perhaps we need an :outer attribute on PAST::Block where one can explicitly set the outer
k23z__ I don't know what they mean by "prove" , they say it has something to do with type theory
jnthn pmichaud: ooh...:outer setting would be The Cool. 15:02
I don't dislike that.
pmichaud yes, I just need an hour or so to decide if it's a good idea or design smell :)
anyway, now that you've described the problem, I can fix it
jnthn k23z__: There's a school of thought that says that the only way to be sure is to use mathematics to make formal proofs about how the language will behave in every case. 15:03
That approach doesn't tend to lead to programming languages thare are of huge amounts of interest to people writing real software though. 15:04
pmichaud jnthn says it correctly
jnthn There's something of a disconnect between the academic programming langauge scene and the languages that are being used to write most of the world's software. Which is in a way kinda sad.
k23z__ and how is Perl6 not an academic project ? 15:05
pmichaud k23z__: depends on what you mean by "academic project" :)
jnthn ooh...time to go for my train to Vienna! 15:06

font probably
TimToady maybe your brain is hardwired for ASCII :)
Brennus the default firefox font made them absurdly tiny 15:58
TimToady maybe it's the size choice for constant width
Brennus anyway why not just write them out since that's what the code is going to be anyway? 15:59

colomon lue: you need to get a program called ack. 20:40
Then you can cd to the src directory and say ack -w time and get a list of every place the word time appears in the source code. 20:41

lue sure it's not awk? :) 20:41
colomon It is absolutely sweet for this sort of thing, I use it a dozen or more times a day.

lue alright, will get it.
colomon Actually, now I mostly use it in a nice wrapper in a TextMate , but that won't help you in Linux.

it's a "in a nutshell" explanation. Here's Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_explosion 21:31
lichtkind devinus: whyt kind of ready you mean?
devinus lichtkind: as in, "HEY EVERYBODY! HERE'S PERL 6! We encourage you to use it in production environments" or at least an "official release" maybe blessed as such by larry wall or something.... 21:32
spinclad devinus: 'ready' for corporate use, with a firm standing by to be sued if it doesn't work? 21:33

lichtkind devinus: this march/april will come rakudo*
devinus that's awesome, yeah i read about star on wikipedia 21:34
lichtkind devinus: but there are not many modules here yet and its still slow and ram consuming
lue Rakudo Whatever — I mean Star — is to be released in April ( <-- that was a P6 pun)

bkeeler what colomon said
lue When Rakudo * comes out, we should all shout "Saluton mondo! Bonvenon al Perl6!" (please tell me I got that right) 21:38

lue superluminal speed is our goal, actually. R* will be so good, it'll run at superluminal speeds even if your hardware can't run that fast!
colomon Mind you, we're making strides -- master is better than twice as faster as alpha at running the master test suite.
*fast 21:39

bkeeler I've been lurking on the lists for ages
Su-Shee colomon: I just shoved aside some old code and modularized it so that I can do the first p6 module in production.

bkeeler I just got fed up of missing all the good chatter on #perl so I got off my ass and installed an IRC client this week
lue *cough* references

bkeeler Grammars and s/.../.../ are what I'm really waiting on at this point
PerlJam masak: having protos is significant too
masak PerlJam: oh, the regexes? yeah. 21:54
PerlJam: but it hasn't reached the Rakudo user yet, only the implementors.
bkeeler My first try at using rakudo for $work was when I needed a parser for an oddball file format
Didn't work out with alpha when I tried it. Got bogged down with the larger parse input I fed it
Su-Shee I earned money with perl 6 in 2003. ;)
bkeeler I'll dust that code off when master gets grammars 21:55

lue why can't we just take STD.pm and turn it into pir code? (it's pretty lazy, but...) 22:23
(and it probably doesn't work like that...)
bkeeler The NQP-rx grammar engine isn't quite up to parsing STD yet I think
And translating it by hand into pir would be anything but lazy! 22:24
Once we get grammars in rakudo directly it might get easier 22:25
lue how on earth would P6 ever support itself I wonder...? It would be cool when it happens though.
bkeeler though I don't know if/when we're actually planning on porting the compiler itself to run perl6 instead of NQP
I suspect it will be a more incremental approach. I think for ng they started with the NQP grammar and evolved it towards STD 22:27
lue a self-supporting programming language is the ultimate in cross-platform! (P6 running P6) 22:28
bkeeler Bootstrapping a new compiler is one of the most fascinating things to do in CS I think 22:29
Very interesting process
I remember in University discovering that C compilers were written in C and brain nearly exploded :) 22:30

with all the power of P6, maybe someday one can compile it into machine-specific assembler (like C++ does)... \o/

bkeeler Mornington Crescent! 22:59
Brennus I wrote a client for the internet go server with cocoa & camelbones
bkeeler Ooh, hadn't heard of camelbones. Looks interesting 23:01
Brennus it works fine but it is a major PITA to debug
lichtkind hereby i solemnly declare, the perl 6 wiki frontpage is now free of clutter 23:02
Brennus you can't get any of the perl messages, or at least I haven't figured out how to
it just has to work when you run it
else the whole thing dies with a useless message 23:03
frettled bkeeler: that announcement was a bit premature, I think you've forgotten the rules change introduced by Warwick in 1952.
(oops, typo, 1852)
bkeeler Ah yes, you're quite right Sir, my apologies 23:04
Picadillly Circus!
frettled I just passed Uxbridge. 23:05
bkeeler Hmmm... 23:06
Ealing Common
frettled I wonder if this is too obscure, maybe we should head for Finchley Central instead. 23:08
bkeeler Odd move
Aha, I see what you're up to 23:09
frettled taps the side of his nose meaningfully.
bkeeler Going to try the ol Jubilee line gambit are we?
23:09 wolf2k_ubuntu left
bkeeler Well, I'll have to backtrack a bit 23:09
frettled Oh, no, you're not getting me to reveal my plan, that's against the Mornsborough Principle.
bkeeler Embankment!
frettled sucks his breath.
Well played, sir, well played. 23:10
Well, you nearly got me at Hammersmith, but I'm actually at King's Cross now. 23:12
lue Objection! 23:13
frettled Pardon?
lue doesn't know this game
frettled Well, that's hardly a excuse, is it? According to Lyttelton, a lack of knowledge of the rules is no excuse at all. 23:14
bkeeler ponders feinting toward Leicester Square, but reconsiders
lue Verily, Sir. Ergo!
I beg pardonage
bkeeler doffs his hat at the mention of the great man 23:15
bkeeler realizes he's not actually wearing a hat and dons one so he can doff it 23:16
lue Rickmansworthshiretown says that the game is not to be underestimated.
bkeeler Hmm, I think I'll try Leicester Square after all 23:17
If I lose I can always take in a show
frettled Very well, then. Camden Town.
bkeeler Oof!
Oh dear, got myself trapped on the wrong line again
frettled A-ha1 23:18
s/1/!/
bkeeler Oh well, I have no choice but to retreat back to Piccadilly, dammit
frettled Hah, got you! Mornington Crescent. I'll buy you lunch at the Ministry when you get here. 23:19
bkeeler Well played, well played
frettled It was a nice game, to be sure! 23:23
23:24 jferrero joined
lue is it over, the game? 23:24
bkeeler Fraid so, he got there before me
lue good. 23:25
frettled lue: If you find a decent antique bookshop, maybe you can pick up Stovold’s Mornington Crescent: Rules and Origins, or more likely, The Little Book of Mornington Crescent by Tim, Graeme, Barry and Humph. 23:26

Brennus cute 23:33
lue any of you ever been on ifMUD?
bkeeler Haven't played any muds since the early nineties 23:34
lue haven't been on ifMUD for a while, thinking of maybe getting back into it... 23:35
Brennus i played in a couple of vampire games at CMU & Manchester
frettled lue: nopes, sorry, I haven't played any of the new muds.
Brennus the CMU was really detailed around CMU (naturally) 23:36
lue yeah, just seeing if anyone had (must ask later as well)
frettled I think the most recent MUD I played was ZombieMUD or something like that, but maybe Medieval Nights was more recent.
I'm still socializing on VikingMUD, though, and I'm thinking about how to plan for the 20-year anniversary. 23:37
23:38 Brennus left 23:53 vamped left 23:57 snarkyboojum left
