CokeBot9000 question - P6Role doesn't implement HOW; it's parent is Role, which doesn't implement HOW either. How does .HOW work on a p6role? 01:04
*its parent 01:05
01:05 ruoso left
CokeBot9000 I suspect the answer used to be "by shoving a HOW method into a namespace somewhere"... which doesn't work after the fix for TT #389 landed. 01:05
sorear .HOW is theoretically supposed to be special syntax, not a method 01:06
a predefined macro or grammar rule
CokeBot9000 sorear: I'm talking about rakudo, not "the spec"

spinclad nqp could at least get a .keys method added to its hashes in util/, i suppose; then iterating .keys would be common... 07:14
sorear no 07:15
spinclad though i don't know what sort of thing parrot;Hash is, and how that constrains you
sorear nqp doesn't have its own hashes 07:16
say() is basically the extent of the NQP RTS
say(), ok(), and plan()
07:17 Xaero joined
spinclad are you constrained from adding to those in util/ ? 07:17
07:18 XaeroOne left
sorear there is no util/ 07:19
there is only src/cheats/nqp-builtins.pir
spinclad i misremembered then, sry
check with parrot's Plumage project, i thought it was being more flexible about a RTLib for NQP code 07:20
japhb *rez* 07:21
Huhwhat?
spinclad hi japhb
japhb o/
spinclad Plumage is your project, yes
japhb Ah, asking about runtime libraries for NQP?
spinclad ?
japhb spinclad, yes 07:22
spinclad yes
japhb There are a couple different offerings.
Plumage includes Plumage::NQPUtil 07:23
There's also Kakapo.
NQP can build hashes with a tiny bit of help by tricking the calling conventions into doing all the work.
Extracting keys and values takes only slightly bigger chunks of code. 07:24
07:24 XaeroOne joined, iblechbot joined
japhb gitorious.org/parrot-plumage/parrot...QPUtil.nqp 07:25
spinclad is a parrot;Hash the sort of thing you can 'augment' (by some means) with new methods? eg .keys, .kv
07:26 Xaero left
japhb spinclad, yup. 07:26
Just do:
module Hash { 07:27
method foo () { ... }
method bar () { ... }
}
And now Parrot Hashes have two new methods. :-)
spinclad sorear, ^^ would this help? 07:29
nqp: module Hash { method keys () { say('hi'); }; }; my %h; %h<a> := 1; for %h.keys { say('what?'); } 07:31
p6eval nqp: OUTPUT«hi␤get_iter() not implemented in class 'Integer'␤current instr.: '_block11' pc 0 (EVAL_1:5)␤»
spinclad that looks about the right error for this stage of mockup, anyway 07:32
japhb nqp: module Hash { method keys () { say('hi'); }; }; my %h; %h<a> := 1; %h.keys(); 07:33
p6eval nqp: OUTPUT«hi␤»
japhb Your %h.keys wasn't returning anything iterable. :-)

p6eval nqp: OUTPUT«hi␤what?␤what?␤»
spinclad ha! there she be!
japhb The real version of that is really simple: 07:34
japhb hacks your example ...
nqp: module Hash { method keys () { my @keys; for self { @keys.push($_.key); } @keys; }; }; my %h; %h<a> := 1; for %h.keys { say('what?'); } 07:35
p6eval nqp: OUTPUT«Unable to parse blockoid, couldn't find final '}' at line 1␤current instr.: 'parrot;Regex;Cursor;FAILGOAL' pc 1664 (src/Regex/Cursor-builtins.pir:179)␤»
sorear spinclad: Absolutely not.
japhb nqp: module Hash { method keys () { my @keys; for self { @keys.push($_.key); }; @keys; }; }; my %h; %h<a> := 1; for %h.keys { say('what?'); }
p6eval nqp: OUTPUT«what?␤»
sorear spinclad: My problem is not NQP.
japhb nqp: module Hash { method keys () { my @keys; for self { @keys.push($_.key); }; @keys; }; }; my %h; %h<a> := 1; for %h.keys { say($_); }
p6eval nqp: OUTPUT«a␤»
sorear spinclad: My problem is that iterating over hashes is undefined behavior in Parrot.
japhb No its not. 07:36
spinclad (as long as you get every key exactly once...)?
japhb (Well, I suppose, order is undefined, but that's what hashes do)
iterating over a hash gives you key/value "pair-like" objects, each with two methods: .key and .value. 07:37
sorear japhb: Except that's not true.
Iterating over a Rakudo hash, sure
Try that with a native Parrot hash and you'll just get the keys, not pair objects.
Try that with any other language and there's no telling what you'll get. 07:38
There's no telling you'll get anything at all, because the PDDs don't actually specify how you remove values from iterators
spinclad nqp: my %h; %h<a> = 1; for %h { say(%_.key); say(%_.value); } 07:39
japhb sorear, talk to bacek. As I recall, this was his refactoring.

japhb Sheesh. He's the one IIRC who pushed it through, because of the performance difference!
spinclad sorear: that's why it looked like you were only getting the keys
japhb Yes, the pairs stringify as a key, for backwards compatibility. 07:41

arnsholt If you've edited parts of the source, just say make 08:40
That will compile all the modified files and the files that depend on them
sorear Yes
But that takes a long time
arnsholt If you've added stuff, you'll have to tweak buils/Makefile.in
sorear about 15 minutes
because it has to recompile the entire setting
08:40 Psyche^ joined, Psyche^ is now known as Patterner
arnsholt Yeah, that's an unfortunate side-effect =) 08:41
sorear but I'm hacking on the compiler proper, and I want rapid turnaround
arnsholt Compiler proper?

I have a first implementation of use :from<perl5> in Perl6::Module::Loader. I'm certain it won't work. 08:42
08:42 jonasbn joined
arnsholt Yeah, if you're hacking on that you'll probably have to recompile the whole shebang, due to how the build process works 08:45
sorear Which is why I want to only build the stage1 compiler.
I don't think I actually need the setting to play with use
arnsholt Well, you need to build the whole thing, to make sure the generated compiler is able to compile itself, and so on 08:46
sorear there, changed Loader, rebuilt stage1 in - 15 seconds
arnsholt (Compilers are a bit nasty like that)
sorear arnsholt: I do that AFTER I have the stage1 working
arnsholt Ah, right
sorear and good, since it doesn't work 08:49
What does stringifying a match do? 08:50

sorear it's not always fun, but it is extremely rewarding 09:37
there, fixed the stupid bug that was keeping coloned modules from working 09:41
bacek sorear, (Parrot hashes) japhb was right. Iterating over Hash in parrot yields HashIteratorKey with C<key> and C<value> methods. 09:43

jnthn Hell knows
masak how do you know that I got exactly what I deserved if you don't know what caused the error? :) 11:00
jnthn Because you're doing something silly. :-)
masak now look here.
what I did above may be silly, but I found myself doing something quite similar in real code...
jnthn Seriously though...I suspect that it's ended up tyring to construct the class twice at the same time or something. 11:01

jnthn Changing the inheritance hieraarchy in augment is just...nasty. 11:03

jnthn Well, consider the above example. You're now multiply inheriting. 11:04
If it worked, from Any and then form A. 11:05

jnthn Also though, don't expect this to get fixed any time soon.
I'll put in a nice error saying it's not allowed to do this yet.

araujo $!a , inside a class, is like a self.a equivalent? 11:33
masak $.a always goes through a method. 11:35
$!a always goes directly to the 'storage location'.
so $.a could be seen as 'third person' and $!a as 'internal'.
use of the former is encouraged in methods, and the latter in submethods, IIUC. 11:36
moritz_ I'd put it another way 11:37
whenever you want to use the external API from within a calls, you use $.a
whenever you want raw storage access (for example for writing) you use $!a
btw completely off-topic, but very hilarious: www.csua.berkeley.edu/~ranga/humor/..._email.txt 11:38
actually when I read it, I suspected something similar to the actual problem described later on 11:39
IllvilJa When updating my rakudo source from git and then running configure with the flag to update and rebuild parrot from SVN (when needed) I sometimes run into the situation that the parrot build fails. Only workaround is to delete entire parrot subdir and redo the parrot generation (which the works). 11:42
Is it just me or does someone else run into this at times?
(I mean, the workaround does work, but it is inelegant) 11:43
moritz_ running 'make realclean' in the parrot dir should also help
IllvilJa moritz_: txh for tip
moritz_ I have a different setup, where I have a git clone of parrot in the parrot/ dir
IllvilJa Aha.
moritz_ I usually use 'git clean -xdf' to remove all files that are not checked in 11:44
that guarantues a clean building environment (but if you have patches lying around, it also deletes those)
so it's not a recommened setup, unless you know exactly what you're doing 11:45

mst++ told him to show the whole code, runnable code. 12:53

IllvilJa It IS a bit frustrating when people demand you to show ALL code when you at the point in time is fine just discussing stuffs and errors at a higher level (and then dive down in the gory code yourself afterwards). 12:55

Web services in a multi-threaded environment

frettled Let's say that you handle incoming requests, and need to somehow separate incoming sessions intelligently, even if they all come from the same IP address. In that case, you _might_ use a class variable to count things and keep them in a somewhat sane, "global" datastructure.
masak urk.

isBEKaml hey guys, can you tell me why there are multiple implementations of the P6 spec? I mean, Rakudo, Pugs, Parrot? If I'm not wrong, they look like VMs, reminding me of the java ecosystem. 15:06
moritz_ isBEKaml: there are several answers to that question... 15:07
[particle] isBEKaml: parrot is a virtual machine designed to run dynamic languages, not an implementation of perl 6. more at parrot.org
moritz_ isBEKaml: first of all the implementations explore different areas of the spec first
[particle] rakudo is an implementation of perl 6 running on parrot, more at rakudo.org 15:08
15:08 pmurias joined
[particle] rakudo is largely written in perl 6 15:08
moritz_ isBEKaml: for example smop/mildew focus on the meta object protocol
a second answer is that people just start a new compiler because they have an idea they like better than the existing compilers
jnthn Rakudo these days borrows increasingly from smop too. :-)
[particle] c has many compilers, for example msvc, gcc, icc, cc, etc 15:09
jnthn (In terms of ideas rather than implementation.)
moritz_ and we can't tell people to abandon their efforts and join another project - volunteer work doesn't work that way
[particle] s/compilers/implementations/
masak isBEKaml: multiple implementations are the natural result when you leave Perl 5's "this implementation is normative" way of doing things and say that a spec is normative instead.
[particle] more on that in S01
isBEKaml I see, so when we see ends to be integrated, won't that lead to lot of confusion? 15:10
[particle]: SO1?
masak isBEKaml: well, we tend to send people towards Rakudo, since that's what most newcomers want.
[particle] perlcabal.org/syn/S01.html
masak it being the currently most advanced and most worked-on implementation.
moritz_ isBEKaml: well, we have a test suite to ensure that all compilers implement the same language :-)
masak isBEKaml: but yes, in general it's slightly more tricky for an outsider to keep track of all the new names when there are multiple implementations than when there's only one. :) 15:11
isBEKaml nice... I was looking at perl6.org, and then at Rakudo, one of the links pointed to perlmonks and that's where I tried to grok things.. ;)
masak isBEKaml: have you found perl6advent yet? 15:12

[particle] camelia appreciates your help and enthusiasm 15:13

isBEKaml moritz_: perl6.org is indeed very clear. One thing, I would suggest is making it explicit in one of the doc pages there. 15:14

masak whispers 'named enums!' 15:16
isBEKaml moritz_, masak: from what I can see, I'm not a perl programmer,( though I can do baby talk in perl) :)
will that impede me from learning perl6 and be upto speed?
masak not really.
it helps to know Perl 5 already, but it's not a requirement. 15:17
do read the book, but I think going through perl6advent might teach you more right now.
moritz_ isBEKaml: the book is targeted at people who already know most programming concepts. But no prior Perl knowledge required
isBEKaml masak: I can understand perl5 concepts, if not, I've got perldoc in my linux box to help. ;)

masak the more I look at Perl 6 OO, the more I realize that public methods are often the solution. 15:23

isBEKaml masak: A.new.foo, that's public. What if I want to have some methods that are only specific to the class they belong to?
won't private methods work?

diakopter pmurias: I made BuildStatementList a parameterized pattern-generator-generator, so when using the parameters, if they're used more than once in the body, all but one of them need to be regenerated so their goto labels aren't duplicated.
abort?

isBEKaml_ masak: I now understand what you meant by p6advent. :)

moritz_ isBEKaml_: you can. But having ICU is nicer
isBEKaml_: what OS do you use?
slavik icu?
isBEKaml_ moritz_: slackware. 16:31
ash__ ICU lets you use: «» for instance
or ¢ even
moritz_ slavik: site.icu-project.org/
slavik how would I enter it on an american keyboard?
moritz_ isBEKaml_: I'm sure icu is packaged for slackware, though since I'm not a slackware user I don't know the details
isBEKaml_ slavik: I would guess, altGR+X or Z, however it suits you.

slavik oh god 16:31
colomon slavik: I've programmed my text editor so that if I hit >>[tab], it generates a » 16:32

moritz_ slavik: or compose<<
slavik colomon: nice, what text editor?
colomon TextMate
though you can also just use << or >> instead.
(I mean, in Perl 6.)
moritz_ in vim it's Ctrl+k < <
isBEKaml_ moritz_: I don't know if that's packaged for slackware(I haven't looked around yet). But the site shows ICU for C and java?
ash__ colomon: you can use Option+| (bar) to get « and Shift+Option+| to get » 16:33
16:33 pmurias left
colomon «» You're right! 16:33

ash__ in OS X just hold Option and most keys become unicode 16:34
moritz_ sotirov-bg.net/slackpack/pack.cgi?id=627
isBEKaml_: you'd need the C version
colomon ash__: usually I just get accidental greek characters that way. ;)
moritz_ (if there's a distinction - could be one package for both)
ash__ colomon: well, some of them like Option+e then another character (like e again) will add the ` on top of the e: éóí Option+u does the dot dot on top: ë 16:35
isBEKaml_ moritz_: Ah, thanks. I can build a slackware package from the build script. I just need the source. That's what slackware is about. ;)
moritz_ pmichaud, jnthn, colomon: I'd like to start putting the name of all contributors in rakudo releases, just like perl 5 does it nowadays - I can write some perl scripts to sift through the commit messages to auto-generate that 16:36
any opinions? 16:37
isBEKaml_ moritz_: I'll go few days without sugar (ICU, :) ) and tehn try the sugar coating. :)
moritz_ isBEKaml_: I'm spoiled by Debian - sudo aptitude install libicu-dev # and you're done :-)
sure, whatever you prefer
colomon moritz_: all contributors ever, or since the last release? 16:38
isBEKaml_ moritz_: I have used Debian too! :) Right, now I'll go build Rakudo from source without sugar....
moritz_ colomon: since the last release
colomon and just to the source, or to the source plus spec plus test suite?
moritz_ colomon: good question... no idea 16:39
maybe just rakudo now
16:39 japhb left
moritz_ we can extend it later on :-) 16:39
ash__ you could have categories, say rakudo contributors, testing contributors ? and make note of the spec somewhere else?
colomon I'm just trying to think it through. :)
ash__ in my mind, the spec is someone independent of rakudo, even though they are highly related 16:40
colomon I like promoting contributors, just don't want to leave out people who are making a difference.
isBEKaml_ ash__: why differentiate between contributors? They are contributors, after all..
ash__ yeah, but then you can tell what they did, plus it makes it easier to figure out what to put where, just check commits in the /t folder for the tests, and things in src are rakudo contributors 16:41
although one big list isn't hard either, but still
colomon It would be interesting to see how long the lists are, actually. :) 16:42
isBEKaml_ ash__: I figure some Rakudo contributors would also be test contributors since I believe they want it to run free of burdens. ;)
moritz_ there are some intersections, yes :-)
jnthn Quite a sizable one, I'd say. :-) 16:43
colomon isBEKaml: It would be unusual for any Rakudo contributors to not also be test contributors.
jnthn is even known to write tests once in a while. :-)
colomon needs to write a bunch of tests for log and exp -- many combinations of different Numeric / Real types to see how the interactions work now.
isBEKaml_ colomon: that's what I thought too..
moritz_ 13 commit authors in the last 31 days 16:45
isBEKaml_ is building Rakudo without ICU for his early learning
moritz_ that doesn't include those mentioned in the commit messages, which I'd like to parse too
ash__ isBEKaml_: are you going to go through the advent calendar?
moritz_ like people being ++'ed or appear afer a "courtesy by" 16:46
takadonet moritz_: I would be on that list !
isBEKaml_ ash__: yes, the 24 day walk up the hill. :)
colomon BTW, (off current topic), prototyping geometry code in Perl 6 continues to be full of awesome. Perl 6 makes it very easy to express fairly complicated ideas, and Rakudo is working fine for me at the moment.

isBEKaml_ Zop's a map?
moritz_ colomon: nope
jnthn isBEKaml_: Z is a meta-operator.
isBEKaml_: => is the pair constructor in Perl 6
so 'a' => 'n' makes a pair. 16:56
If you put a Z before it it means "apply it to each thing in the list either side"
So we make a list of pairs out of two other lists.
:-)
But you can put any operator there.
isBEKaml_ what if I were to say: 'a' .. 'z' => 'n' .. 'z' ? 16:57

jnthn Yeah, it's Zip. 16:58
colomon (hyper can also make a list of pairs. It actually cannot terminate when the shortest list hits its end.)
jnthn Right.
Hypers give you more checking / control over that.
isBEKaml_ colomon: so the other elements on the longer list be undefs? Does Perl6 have undef? 16:59

colomon looking back at my results, the hyper version actually missed the second range. 16:59
moritz_ it has many undefs :-)
jnthn colomon: That may be a precedence issue.
colomon isBEKaml_: hyper either extends with the last element in the list or fails outright.
jnthn colomon: In that hypers have transparent precedence.
Alternatively, it could be a bug.

colomon jnthn: nah, probably precedence. 17:00

isBEKaml_ colomon: looking at your code, does p6 have something like <=> operator to apply both ways? say: 'a' .. 'z' <=> 'n' .. 'za' .. 'm' ? 17:05
I understand that's what Zop does.
ash__ <=> is in perl6
colomon <=> does numeric comparison 17:06
jnthn It's a comparsion operator, though.
colomon you want to build a list of pairs going one way and a list of pairs going the other way?
isBEKaml_ ash__: I merely thought it would look appropriate for the Zop.

isBEKaml_ hmmm, when used on strings, it does in dictionary comparison. when used on numbers it gives -/+1 instead of having to use > or < 17:11
yes, i thought of strcmp.
ash__ cmp is also simillar
really, <=> is the same as +$a cmp +$b
isBEKaml_ +$?
ash__ and leg is the same as ~$a cmp ~$b
+$a turns $a into a Num
colomon +$a means "treat $a like a number" 17:12
ash__ and ~$a turns $a into a string

ash__ what does *$a mean in a paremeter? like: sub foo(*$a) { } ? 17:58

jnthn This happens to stringify to the name of the type.
(Just like any other object can choose how it stringifies.)
isBEKaml_ jnthn: whatever I throw at it, it just pops back I_entered_This() 18:07

avar is there a perl6 example of extending a grammar with plain perl subs? 18:38
i.e. 'sub' instead of 'regex/token/rule'
since they're just regular subs with the same calling conventions, or so I thought
moritz_ avar: I don't know such an example... maybe pmichaud does
(and they are methods in Perl 6, not subs) 18:39
avar right, terminology:)
moritz_ but that won't make much of a difference in Perl 5 anyway :-)
avar I'd need some vague example of how it's done "right" in p6 as well as some engine I could embed in p5
ash__ i am not sure what your trying to do avar, what exactly do you mean to accomplish? 18:40

ash_ oh, neat another one for the perl foundation, someone is implementing Ctypes for perl5, which would be cool
moritz_ with rurban++ as mentor, iirc 19:37
diakopter I suspect a good strategy to accumulate more slots is to submit more applications
PerlJam ash_: can you explain to me why you think that would be cool?
ash_ because you could have less XS stuff
moritz_ because writing XS sucks?
PerlJam ash_: I read it but couldn't get excited about it. It seems like just another interface.
maybe I haven't written enough XS to reach the pain threshhold 19:38
ash_ it makes calling C code native to perl5, so you don't have to drop into XS to make calls to libraries like mysql or something
PerlJam ash_: you mean like search.cpan.org/~gaal/FFI-1.04/FFI.pm ? 19:39
:)
ash_ so, say you have a new library someone just came out with that can calculate pi, you don't need a new XS module written from scratch, you just use libffi or w/e it will be called, then say it takes a C int, and a C double as the two parameters for the function call, then you just call it like normal perl
yeah, thats the one I have seen in the past 19:40

PerlJam I guess I really couldn't get excited because we already have FFI. What does ctypes bring to the table that FFI doesn't? 19:41

ash_ nothing, ctypes is libffi 19:43
they are the same thing, but i don't think that FFI module is really maintained, at least it didn't work last time i checked 19:44
plobsing looking over the FFI.pm doc, it uses libffcall, not libffi. Also it's support for pointer types looks a bit weak. 19:47

Spreadsheet_ Does Perl 6 have a variable for the last evaluated value? 21:56
Like ML's "it"
diakopter not that I know of
Spreadsheet_ So I call subroutine "foo", which evaluates to 42. I can access it by getting "it"
I think it would be useful 21:57
frettled Why, when you can store the result in a variable?
Spreadsheet_ I think it has to do something with currying.. let me read this blog post

arnsholt frettled: The most compelling use of it I saw was anaphoric macros in Lisp
frettled arnsholt: Yes, that's about it. 22:00
arnsholt So you do if foo($bar, $blech) && $it + 42 > 100 { ... }
diakopter perlesque: say("foo'" == 'foo\'') 22:02
p6eval perlesque: OUTPUT«False␤»
diakopter forgot to unescape things 22:03
arnsholt Shouldn't it be eq, rather than ==? 22:04
frettled arnsholt: but mostly, you can just assign and test at the same time and get away with it.
arnsholt frettled: Yeah, but you can bet people are going to ask for soemthing that lets them get away with not typing the assignment =) 22:05
frettled I think we just saw that.
Spreadsheet_ Ok I think this is what they are trying to say
pmurias diakopter: it would be helpfull if when adding features you added tests so i could see what's supported
Spreadsheet_ I'll paste it
frettled In Perl 5, I'm happy with some of the implicit $_ magic, but I don't think that it's necessarily obviously good. 22:06
Spreadsheet_: on paste.lisp.org/new/perl6?
Spreadsheet_ Yes
arnsholt Yeah, I think the way is to make it some kind of magic added by a module
22:06 christine joined
arnsholt But I'm not entirely sure how to implement it. The only implementation I've seen was with macros in CL, but those were unhygienic macros 22:06

frettled Perhaps it could be solved with a sequential junction? 22:14
Spreadsheet_ wow, I can't think of why an "it" variable would be useful 22:15
frettled :) 22:16
Spreadsheet_ I got it from www.svendtofte.com/code/curried_javascript/
Juerd I've sometimes wanted a "that" variable, that would refer to the value of the last boolean :) 22:19
s/boolean/condition/
Spreadsheet_ Apparently "it" is only useful in an interactive environment
jnthn remembers it from his ML days
It was nice in a REPL. 22:20

jnthn Juerd: if something -> $that { print $that } 22:20
22:20 Infinoid joined
Juerd jnthn: Of course, but the magic of not having to write the variable name twice is of course what makes magic so cool. 22:20
jnthn True. :-) 22:21
Juerd Note that I'm not at all convinced that it would be a good idea.
jnthn Yeah
Feels a bit *too* magical for me.
ash_ what about $_
$_ is rather magical sometimes
Juerd ash_: How useful would $_ still be if it were changed with every conditional? :) 22:22
for (@foo) { if (/.../) { argh! } }
ash_ no, i am not saying update $_, i was just commenting that perl has lots of magic
Juerd Maybe I'm just spoiled but I don't see $_ as a magical thing :) 22:23
ash_ coming from another language, $_ feels like magic 22:24
Spreadsheet_ What is $_? Is it related to @_?
Juerd Oh, wow.
Spreadsheet_: $_ is the default variable for many Perl constructs.
Spreadsheet_: For example, if you write .foo that's short for writing $_.foo, and if you write for (@array) { ... } that's short for for (@array) <-> $_ { ... } 22:25
If you combine those, you can write "for (@array) <-> $_ { $_.something }" as "for (@array) { .something }" which is much nicer.
TimToady even better without the parens 22:26
phenny TimToady: 24 Apr 10:51Z <sorear> tell TimToady , What is the most reasonable interface for accessing Perl 5 globals? Something like GLOBAL<perl5>::MainWindow.new, but you probably have a niftier syntax
Spreadsheet_ oo cool
Juerd TimToady: Right. Sorry :)
TimToady: I was wondering why it looked so funny. I guess I'm not used to seeing () with -> or <-> :)
Spreadsheet_: TimToady is right - it's even better when written as "for @array { .something }" 22:27
Of course Perl also has ".something for @array;" which I personally find even nicer.
jnthn And if you dont' care about the order the calls are done, @array>>.something
ash_ TimToady: i had a question about slurpy arguments, what would *$ slurp? i haven't figured that one out... or is the slurp on it just ignored
TimToady or even: map *.something, @array
Juerd That has little to do with $_ though :)
jnthn Juerd: Well, it saves a use of it. ;-)
TimToady *$ slurps the first arg that would have gone to *@ 22:28
jnthn Rakudo, sadly, doesn't implement that one yet.
jnthn-- didn't get around to it.
Juerd sends a truck full of wooden round tuits to jnthn 22:29
ash_ ah, so thats why that worked earlier... is it any different than sub foo($a, *@b) ?
jnthn Juerd: :-)
ash_: I guess yes, in that it will have enfoced list context on the whole load of arguments. 22:30
ash_ rakudo: sub foo(*$a, *@b) { say "a: ", $a, " b: ", @b; }; foo(1, 2, 3); foo(1); foo; 22:31
p6eval rakudo 9fbb25: OUTPUT«a: 1 b: 23␤a: 1 b: ␤Not enough positional parameters passed; got 0 but expected at least 1␤current instr.: 'foo' pc 200 (EVAL_1:79)␤»
ash_ that doesn't work in nqp, i realized, and so i tested it in rakudo, it seems to work fine in rakudo, i was just wondering what the function of *$ is, it seems to act like $
jnthn Oh. 22:32
Maybe it...accidentally works. ;-)
"works" 22:33
:-)
ash_ i was wondering if it should throw a parse error, since *$ doesn't make sense in my mind, but maybe i am misunderstanding it, the others *@, *%, *& make sense though

jnthn phenny: tell sorear I've reviewed your patch, refactored it just a little bit and fixed a bug. I'm not keen on the getprop/setprop bit, but I appreciate this is a work in progress and we can iterate on it a bit. But I'm putting it in for now, so people can start playing with the Perl 5 interop. 22:34
phenny jnthn: I'll pass that on when sorear is around.
TimToady ash_: the difference is if you call foo(@bar), whether @bar gets bound only to the first argument, or to all the slurpy arguments 22:35
ash_ jnthn i think i found a bug... 22:37
rakudo: sub foo(*@a, *$b) { say "a: ", @a, " b: ", $b; }; my @f = 1, 2, 3; foo(|@f);
p6eval rakudo 9fbb25: OUTPUT«Not enough positional parameters passed; got 3 but expected between 1 and 0␤current instr.: 'foo' pc 275 (EVAL_1:98)␤»
ash_ so, foo(*$a, *@b) { ... } foo(@bar) should expand to $a = @bar[0], @b = @bar[1..*]? 22:39
jnthn ash_: Ah
We should probably whine about that.
std: sub foo(*@a, *$b) { say "a: ", @a, " b: ", $b; }; 22:40
p6eval std 30478: OUTPUT«ok 00:01 112m␤»
ash_ jnthn its *$

p6eval rakudo 9fbb25: OUTPUT«Too many positional parameters passed; got 3 but expected 1␤current instr.: 'foo' pc 275 (EVAL_1:98)␤»
ash_ it seems to be the fact i put the *$ after a *@ 22:41

sorear Currently $!x is a bad semantic fit for private attributes for reasons like this; $._x is probably better 23:33
moritz_:
TimToady the whole point of private attributes is to *not* supply a method; they're infrastructural 23:38
Moose gets away with it because it has Perl hashes underneath to do the infrastructure
$!x is providing the same functionality as hashes in P5, only opaquely even to the class using it for infrastructure 23:42
it's a different encapsulation layer than slots 23:43
