thowe Hi 03:12
it's odd, but looking at Perl6 lately has me semi interested in Perl 5 again... I want to replace my nanoc site with some perlish concoction 03:15
I think I want template toolkit for perl6 03:17
ash_ i don't think there are any actively developed template toolkits for perl6 yet
but feel free to start one
there are a number for perl5 based ones however 03:18
thowe I'm on Chapter 3 of the perl6 book. I think me building anything that other people use should wait a bit.
ash_ if you want a simple tool for a perl based site you could try Mojolicious::Lite 03:19
thowe I'm not enjoying the font selections in this book... I'm curious as to the software used to make the pdf
it looks like learning the template toolkit would be knowledge that pays off in other ways. 03:20
I'll bet it is much faster than erb, which might help me with some stuff at work.
ash_ its all auto generated from tex 03:21
well, i think its .pod -> latex -> pdf
thowe hmm. then I wonder if my issues are xpdf related? It seems I don't have these readability problems with other PDFs. I'm tempted to blame the fonts 03:22
ash_ it might be font related
but pdf's should have to font's embedded, but you could re-configure the build process to use a different font
03:23 alester joined
nymacro thowe, 2010.08 one? Reads fine in Evince 03:23
thowe they may look great on paper... I had to set to 200% to see that a - was really a ~
I'm using 2010.07 one. 2010.08 failed to build for me so I went back. 03:24
03:24 proller left
ash_ github.com/perl6/book is the source code, you can read it all there 03:24
03:24 proller joined
thowe It looks swell at 200%. I'll bet it will look great on paper. 03:25
ash_ hmm, i don't have the same problem
thowe I (or XPDF) must be missing something 03:26
nymacro you could try one of the pre-built PDFs. Not sure if it would help at all
github.com/perl6/book/downloads
ash_ ya, if you built the pdf yourself, you may be missing a font or something 03:27
thowe is the one in the docs folder built when I build rakudo?
ash_ umm, i am not sure
thowe I hadn't noticed, but I am getting by with it.

sorear good * #perl6 03:34
03:36 sundar left, echosystm joined
echosystm why does perl6 have 3 different ways to pass parameters? 03:36
i dont get it 03:37
03:37 Chillance left
echosystm isnt this the kind of insanity that made so many people leave perl in the first place? 03:37
03:37 fod left
sorear perl 6 only has one way to pass parameters 03:37
echosystm wikipedia says 3 : positional, named, "slurpy"
ash_ i don't understand what you mean by 3 different ways
echosystm en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_6#Parame...sing_modes 03:38
sorear those are actually parameter parsing modes, not passing...
echosystm ok 03:39
the point remains though... why 3 ? 03:40
sorear because they're all useful
ash_ they are all expressive ways of passing parameters, a lot of languages support those 3 kinds of ways of passing args, including ruby and python
sorear what's your favorite programming language? I'd be happy to make inflammatory remarks about its parameter passing system 03:41
echosystm probably java
ash_ they are useful because you can use them to express different things with different types of parameters, for instance you can also add a constraint that is based off of the type of an arg 03:43
echosystm right
03:43 mfollett joined
ash_ sigil on the parameter can add meaning too, like @ means your expecting a Positional type 03:43
Positional is a fancy way of saying its array like 03:44
echosystm yep
ash_ array/list whatever word you want to describe
errr
however you want to describe it
03:44 silug left
echosystm a big concern for me is the general lack of convention in most programming languages 03:44
nymacro echosystm, most modern languages support these 3 modes. They're somewhat conventional -- the only difference is how languages denote them 03:45
03:45 satyavvd joined
echosystm is perl6 goign to be really anal about naming ? 03:45
03:45 sjn_ left
nymacro Perl 6 slurpy is the equivalent of C/Java varargs 03:45
ash_ as an alternative to named params, most languages look for a hash with the values set in it, it solves a similar problem to pass a hash 03:46
echosystm does anyone know about my previous question? 03:48
this is a big issue for me and im curious if perl6 is going to be a fresh start in this regard
03:48 DemoFreak left
ash_ you mean naming? 03:48
nymacro naming conventions?
ash_ like with var names, subs names, obj names?
echosystm yeah like method/variable/package naming
yes
ash_ they are pretty free
rakudo: my $a-b-c = "can have dashes even"; 03:49
p6eval rakudo be80e9: ( no output )
LaVolta btw, does it have particular convertion?
echosystm i mean, are we going to have strong conventions in the standard library etc?
ash_ std: class foo-bar { };
p6eval std : OUTPUT«ok 00:01 114m␤»
echosystm i learned java as my first language, where everything is really strict about naming 03:50
you'll never see underscores etc.
nymacro echosystm, I believe the general Perl community has its own pseudo-standard naming conventions, but you're free to do whatever you want
echosystm then i learned php and wanted to stab my eyes out
LaVolta this is Perl
:)
ash_ in the std library, you'll see dashes in things on occasion, its generally a single word for each sub names when possible
sorear echosystm: What, precisely, is your goal here?
echosystm trying to work out whether to learn perl6 03:51
ash_ have you learned perl5?
echosystm yep
nymacro ash_, is that a trick question? :P 03:52
LaVolta echosystm: what's your opinion on Perl 5?
ash_ not really, the are perl5 and 6 have so many similarities that its useful to understand perl5 to see why things are the way they are in perl6
echosystm i think perl5 is a good language in itself
its what people have done with it that is the problem
most of the perl code i see is an unmaintainable pile of crap that doesnt even try adhere to any kind of standard practice or conventions 03:53
thowe its what people have done with it that is often the solution! =)
sorear Perl 5, the language, is garbage
nymacro ash_, I'm just making fun. :)
sorear the only reason to ever use it is the fact that it has a real library culture 03:54
LaVolta ah...people write Perl doesn't mean they are good at it
ash_ i fail at english right now, sorry if i don't make sense
LaVolta though, ""
echosystm well
when im using modules off CPAN (popular ones too)
theyre just all over the place
LaVolta "get your job done", pardon me
echosystm sometimes you see method calls like (-var => x, etc.
LaVolta and? :) 03:55
echosystm other times you see ({var => x}), (Var => x) etc
it makes the code horrible to look at and i basically just want nothing to do with it 03:56
nymacro echosystm, nb. Perl is expressive and doesn't have "one way" to do anything
echosystm evidently
thowe poor programming practices are universal. I have seen Perl that has made me angry, but I probably run into that more with PHP
LaVolta modules I met often offer both ways to specify 'var'
like a directly one and a 'named' one 03:57
sorear echosystm: TIMTOWDI is non-negotiable.
LaVolta and i think's it's just reflect the way of doing it Perlly, nothing else
grok it or leave it
that's my understanding
ash_ TIMTOWDI in every language, you can make python look just as bad as php if you try hard enough even though python swears by the 'there is one way to do it' way of thinking 03:58
echosystm python is a lie
all the hype about that language is false
LaVolta you can write assembly in any language :) 03:59
sorear a good FORTRAN programmer can write FORTRAN in any language.
thowe I really wanted to like Python... I just couldn't do it
echosystm same thowe
ash_ i work with python all the time, i don't mind it, its just another way of doing things 04:00
echosystm i heard all these claims of it being such a beautiful and elegant language... total nonsense
its no better than perl/php/whatever
ash_ i only use it when i have to use libraries it has that other's dont
04:00 gottreu_ joined
nymacro there is nothing wrong with Python 04:00
echosystm the irony is that python folk always slam PHP for its naming conventions (or lack of)
nymacro this is coming down to personal preference
thowe I find that Perl6 seems to be easier to read the way my brain wants to read it without needing to think as much as perl5 made me think. I find a lot of what I like about Ruby in Perl6 04:01
04:01 proller_ joined
ash_ thowe: same, i liked ruby a lot, but i realize perl6 offers more flexibility and power in a number of areas 04:02
LaVolta "Ruby: Because I can't wait until Perl 6 is finished"
thowe and that's just me. I sighed a big sigh and moved to Ruby about 7 years ago. Perl6 currently is drawing me back in by being cool.

thowe some of those Perl/Parrot guys are just crazy smart... 04:05
ash_ thowe: have you read the current spec?
its useful if you don't mind technical babble
nymacro I learnt words which I didn't even know existed 04:06
thowe ash_ I have looked at it a little, but I haven't read it.
ash_ the Apocalypse are a bit dated, same with the Exegesis 04:07
the spec, however, is current

cbk how does one set up a hash when declaring a default constructor in perl6? 04:29
or a array for that matter? 04:30
plobsing rakudo: class B { has $.x = { :x('y'), :y('z'), :z('x') }; }; B.new.x 04:34

ash_ umm, that depends on which part is unresponsive, it's currently 1 screen for the repl server and 1 screen for the http server (its a mojo daemon) 12:56
mathw moritz_: I'm down for it. I really probably should try and persuade someone else to do it though, things are a bit... mad 12:57
ash_ i haven't ever written a /etc/init.d script or anything like that, so i wasn't sure how to go about making a daemon to start the repl server
moritz_ mathw: if nobody else chimes in, I can do it
mathw thanks 12:58
moritz_ ash_: I don't think it's really necessary; having a README that tells which process to kill and how to start them again would be a great start
and under which user IDs
mathw most things don't seem to be working out properly this week!
ash_ alright, i'll set that up, where can i put the readme? 12:59
moritz_ ash_: in the repo, I'd say
ash_ kk
i'll write that up now

ash_ i have noticed it going unresponsive a few times, i wish i knew a better way of restarting it to keep it up and running

ruoso masak, the bug was about the earlier eval 13:43
moritz_ masak: I think it's the "No candidates found"
masak oh, I see now.
no, that's correct.
moritz_ why?
masak STD never tries to call &map.
Rakudo does.
and Z has very loose prec. 13:44
moritz_ but why is it an error?
I read that as
(map $block, @n) Z @s
13:44 molaf joined
masak checks the prec of Z just to be sure 13:44
ruoso hmm... that would be surprising.. 13:45
masak it's tighter than 'list prefix', of which &map is a member.
moritz_ ok
ruoso makes more sense
moritz_ ah
masak so, no bug.
moritz_ it's parsed as
ruoso no bug?
ruoso read it the other way
moritz_ map(($block, @n) Z @s)
masak ruoso: no, it's tighter. no bug.
moritz_ so it's basically map(@list)
masak right. 13:46
moritz_ which misses the block
so masak++ is right
masak for once :P
I don't very much like being right here.
but TimToady knows about this one.
it's one of those which you can't get right for every single use case, so you have to get it wrong sometimes.
moritz_ I think map is supposed to have a slurpy block, but even then: @s is empty, so the zip returns the empty list 13:47
masak a good lint tool should be able to detect it, though.
moritz_ masak: it's one of the reasons I like the method form of map
masak moritz_: aye. I don't use Z enough in that position to have been burnt by this a lot. 13:48
ruoso yeah... after thinking for a while I realize why it is a bug...
but it looks quite odd
moritz_ ruoso: as a comfort, you'd use Z~ instead of the map + Z anyway :-) 13:49

tadzik so the derivative of the party is an amount of beer you can buy for selling the bottles from the party

masak and I agree with moritz_. :P
moritz_ (at least in rakudo)
diakopter masak: so basically, in C#, they're the the same operation, just with different return types at the type-checking level.
masak diakopter: cute. 19:49
Util Is there a workaround syntax? (for a RosettaCode solution I am working on)
moritz_ knows none
diakopter does Perl 6 have a "coercion succeeded" test (similar to "is" in C# as mentioned above) 19:50

masak Util: writing your own sub that DTRT.
pmichaud oh, that's flattening.
bleh. 19:51
masak flattening will get you nowhere!
moritz_ any objections to bumping PARROT_REVISION?
diakopter I mean, I retract my question.
jnthn
.oO( She really flattened me... )
pmichaud moritz_: no objection... I tested earlier (it worked) but didn't get to commit the bump.

Util jnthn: Do you have MSI-building directions for R* written up anywhere? (presuming you did the 2010.07 MSI) 19:54
jnthn Util: No, writing them up is on my todo list.
moritz_ anybody wants to do the release on Thursday?
Util jnthn: OK, thanks
jnthn Util: But basically, just used the MSI builder built into Visual Studio.
A setup project or worreva it's called 19:55
Util (which I lack)
jnthn So the instructions won't be very useful to anyone without VS
Right.
moritz_ if nobody wants to, I can do it; but I've done two releases before, and don't need practise anymore :-)
flussence rakudo: say Hash.new(:key('A'|'B'|'C'), :value<bronze>).perl # is it possible to write this out shorter? (from irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2010-09-20#i_2845966) 19:58

masak flussence: that doesn't look like it means what you probably think it means.
then again, I haven't checked the backlog reference.
moritz_ anyway, { ... } is shorter than Hash.new(...)

flussence yeah, I was being verbose there just to rule out everything...
masak the essence of flussence's question is very worthwhile, though. I'd definitely like for all of the basic types to be creatable via constructors on their type objects.

flussence (it's not originally my question, so I don't know the right answer :) 20:01
ash_ Util++ i didn't even think of that
masak flussence: what I meant was that you have one key named 'key' and one key named 'value'. I figured that with those names, there was a high probability in confusion in the questioner. :)
ash_: that's not the same, though. doesn't have the junction. 20:02
Util ash_: RosettaCode is honing my golfing^Widioms.
masak: I was assuming that flussence did not really want the junction; that it was in error.
ash_ it's probably closer to what the original questioner wanted though, i imagine...
flussence whoops, yeah that line of code I wrote was completely wrong 20:03
masak Util: an assumption as good as any, I think.
flussence needs more coffee

moritz_ jnthn: yes, after NPW
jnthn masak: I did. 20:13
masak: I use a depressant instead.
:P
But I drink coffee in a morning too.
So it all balances out perfectly.
moritz_: Yeah, I seemed to remember they'd already had it. Otherwise woulda been good. 20:14
masak or, put differently, I don't want to limit my coding to moments of some kind of chemical high. I like coding too much for that.

avuserow hello #perl6! 20:30
I'd like to give some kudos to all the people who have been optimizing rakudo. It's certainly a big difference from when I last wrote code for it. 20:31
jnthn avuserow: Thanks for the encouragement. :-) There's plenty of optimization to go yet, but happy that you're finding what's improved so far helpful. :-) 20:32
avuserow (that was about a year ago, and at least the startup time has been improved a ton.)
it's to the point now where I'll start using it for random one-off things for classwork instead of perl5 20:33
tadzik how likely is it to use some post-2.8.0 Parrot for the Rakudo release? 20:39
PerlJam tadzik: you mean to get the recent optimizations in? 20:42

TimToady so I'm translating a relatively large program, and now it compiles, and I run it and I get "Too many positional parameters passed; got 2 but expected 1" 22:19
from somewhere...
jnthn It...really says "somewhere"? 22:20
TimToady no, it says nothing
that's all it says
the stuff in quotes
jnthn :| 22:21
diakopter this is in pugs, right? ;)
TimToady perhaps it's because I have a: say $! if $!;
jnthn TimToady: Can sometimes happen when something goes horribly wrong with e.g. code running to set up meta-objects.
TimToady well, I did just tranlate a hash/array solution to a class-based solution... :/ 22:22
jnthn Sounds possible. I can probably track it down if I have the code. 22:23
22:23 dju left
TimToady trying to run it without the try, which was really just a safegard in raw mode 22:23
ah, $! is apparently only reporting the first line
jnthn Oh. 22:24
Yeah, I guess it doesn't dump the whole backtrace by default.
TimToady all the location info is in subsequent lines
jnthn That's probably right much of the time...
Well, it's more that when it's caught at the top level, it prints $! and then goes and prints the backtrace.
Rather than the actual message containing that all stringified too. 22:25
TimToady well, perl 5's message usually has a line number in the first line
jnthn Ah.
TimToady with rakudo I usually have to look down the list for the one line number that makes sense
jnthn The first one in the list is usually meant to, unless the failure occurs somewhere in CORE 22:26
TimToady which it was, in this case 22:27
jnthn *nod*
TimToady EnumMap::new, specifically :)
jnthn I can argue showing the core frames by default either way.
sjohnson hi!
jnthn When the failure is in some closure, it's maybe less confusing to know it was actually invoked by map, for example.
TimToady: Anyways, opinions on improving/re-shuffling error info welcome. Especially in email-to-rakudobug form. 22:30
Once I get my head out of the meta-model re-implementation, I can take a look at improvements there. Other @other can. 22:31

ash_ github.com/moritz/try.rakudo.org/bl...try.js#L82 i have a command in there already that is the beginings of this 23:31
basically, i have a list of commands in javascript, and if the stdin (the textbox) has something that matches, then i execute the command 23:32
so, saying, 'chapter 1' should load chapter 1's text and so on 23:33
github.com/moritz/try.rakudo.org/bl...s/index.js has the index of the chapters, i was going to build all of the content from those, in that folder i started a 1.js which should be chapter 1, i need to figure out a bit more on how you'll specify input and output, so you can tell when to progress through the tutorial though. i haven't figured that out yet, i imagine it will be a lot of regex's though 23:35
flussence seems straightforward enough 23:37
23:37 rgrau_ left
ash_ i'll need to add commands to move forward/backwards through the steps of the chapter, but each chapter will be a set of steps, i imagine, along the lines of "try typing 1 + 3" "try [+] 1..3" 23:39
