sorear xinming_: we imported the entire history into git 05:11
xinming_: if anything the history is more accessible now, since git clones default to "all history" 05:12
hmm. I have an Interesting metamodel freeze/thaw problem 05:14
if a Unit references several other Units, then loading it will clone them all 05:15
maybe I should look at something like kioku
plobsing sorear: shouldn't you maintain a unique reference to be able to de-dup unit loads (and therefor avoid clones)? 05:18
sorear plobsing: that's the problem, I'm trying to find the best way to do "unique reference" 05:24
sorear is also still trying to figure out exactly how packages want to work 05:25
currently the best I've been able to come up with is to, instead of actually referencing the objects, store the unit name + a per-unit ID number 05:26
mfollett Is there a synopsis or other document that'd clue me in on how to add a subroutine to a module dynamically?
or
source, that would work too, sorry for so many lines here
sorear S11 maybe, though it depends on exactly what you mean 05:28
subroutine handling is a lot less dynamic in Perl 6
05:29 plobsing left
mfollett sorear: I didn't find what I was looking for in S11. Basically, I'm trying to fix Tags.pm but the fix is beyond me. Line 29 of it he is adding a bunch of subs into the module via ::Tags{$sub_name} = sub {} github.com/masak/web/blob/master/lib/Tags.pm 05:30

sorear mfollett: pir::set_hll_global__vPSP(<Tags EXPORT DEFAULT>, $tag, sub { ... }); is probably the best you can get atm 05:41
the correct way is Tags::EXPORT::DEFAULT::{$tag} = sub { ... };, but Rakudo doesn't implement stash notation 05:42
mfollett sorear: Thanks! I was told it worked at some time in the past, I'm hoping I can get it working again. I'll look at that. Otherwise I was thinking I could change it into a class and use Tags.HOW.add_method(), but that'd probably change a lot of other things.

sorear hello 06:47
sorear is still very confused by trying to implement GLOBAL 06:48
06:49 kjeldahl joined
sorear or rather, I'm very confused by how GLOBAL correctly interacts with separate compilation 06:58
stuff like class Foo is Bar {} wants to see the unit's global, very very early
stuff like $GLOBAL::foo wants to see the true global, if run after BEGIN 06:59
any useful advise? 07:02
07:02 Mowah joined
moritz_ populate it at BEGIN time 07:12
sorear maybe 07:13
that's what niecza/master does
er, wait
BEGIN
I'm trying to populate this at BEGIN, yes
moritz_
.oO( maybe we should rename BEGIN to ASAP :-)
 07:14
sorear the basic problem is that use A::Foo; use A::Bar; needs to destructively merge GLOBAL<A/Foo.pm> and GLOBAL<A/Bar.pm>, but only for the scope of the one module
precompiled modules need to be immutable, for the whole precompiling thing to work, and mutable, for GLOBAL stuff to work out 07:15
moritz_ maybe GLOBAL is not that global after all
sorear there's some talk in S02 of one BEGIN-time GLOBAL per file 07:16
'use' merges GLOBALs from importee into importer, until at the start of CHECK time there is only the one GLOBAL
but... diamonds.
moritz_ are forever. 07:17
sorear if A uses B and C, and B and C use D, then I should get the same result whether B or C is compiled first
D's GLOBAL needs to be independantly and destructively merged into the GLOBALs of both B and C, which seems like a contradiction 07:18
lestrrat Where can one find a reasonably recent howto on writing Perl6 modules?
moritz_ aren't our-globals aliases fo reach other anyyway?
lestrrat: ttjjss.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/so-...-6-module/ 07:19
lestrrat moritz_: Thank you!
sorear moritz_: our is pretty easy 07:21
if I have : use Foo::Bar; class Foo::Baz is Foo::Bar { }
I'm augmenting Foo without monkeys, or something 07:22
and I need for the correct augmented Foo to be visible to all modules that use Foo
07:22 buubot left
sorear (I need a RAM upgrade for this brain, it's thrashing crazy now) 07:23
07:24 buubot joined
sorear maybe I should make like Prolog and implement a unification algorithm that generates an undolog and can be reversed when entering a scope where it should never have happened 07:26
except that will completely screw up the multi-threaded compilation manager. sigh. 07:27

masak [backlog] "ickle" as a variant of "little" sounds to me like something a parent would say to a small child. 09:00
09:12 REPLeffect left
sorear this is starting to make a bit of sense, if I eschew the concept of 'my' stashes and MONKEY_TYPING checks 09:16
why does augment package Foo { sub bar } need MONKEY_TYPING but sub Foo::bar does not?
moritz_ sub Foo::bar also needs MONKEY_TYPING 09:17
sorear what of class Foo::Bar?
quite a lot of rakudo modules start ... class Foo::Bar;
moritz_ you mean because it's augmenting class Foo?
09:18 masak left
moritz_ I think notionally Foo::Bar is not nested below Foo 09:18
sorear it's more like it's augmenting Foo.WHO
yeah
a large part of understanding niecza/mm has been rationalizing the difference between Foo and Foo::
moritz_ waits for the Foo.WTF macro
sorear: be sure to write that up somewhere 09:19
sorear in particular, I now see Foo as being a child of Foo::
rather than unrelated adjacent objects as they were in niecza/master
moritz_ let me get this straight... Foo:: is the symbol table, and Foo the type object? 09:20
sorear yes
moritz_ or ss/symbol table/stash/ if you prefer
good
sorear in particular, class Foo { ... } creates Foo:: but *not* Foo
moritz_ rakudo: ss/a/b/
p6eval rakudo 0421d3: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Confused at line 22, near "ss/a/b/"␤»
moritz_ sorear: that makes a lot of sense
sorear but there's no way to do it the other way around
moritz_ sorear: and I guess class Foo::Bar { } creates Foo:: too? 09:21
sorear yes
09:21 REPLeffect joined
sorear Foo::Bar is inside Foo::Bar:: which is inside Foo:: 09:21
moritz_ how do you go from Foo:: to Foo?
sorear I'm not sure yet 09:22
(well, $stash->obj :) )
moritz_ Foo::.type_object could work 09:23
but maybe it doesn't need API exposure at all
sorear recently deleted most of niecza's notes because they had fallen so far behind current thinking
moritz_: I'm not sure how much of niecza's metamodel is going to be exposed to the programmer 09:25
09:26 wamba joined
sorear Whole-program analysis doesn't work very well in a setting where the compiler is visible to itself 09:27
moritz_ then you can optimize the compiler in the same step as the program :-) 09:28
sorear so I'm seeing that the compiler's CORE is not the same as the user's CORE, no type aliasing exists
moritz_: the flip side of that is that I can't run global optimizations on the compiler early enough for them to matter 09:29
unless the program is running millions of evlas

masak does rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=78068 mean that the REPL is not yet using the "infinitely nested blocks" idea by TimToady? 09:58
sorear masak: infinitely nested blocks were my idea, and I used them in my patch 09:59
masak oops. thanks for the correction. 10:00
sorear masak: pmichaud++ came up with an alternative implementation, which was sligtly less elegant but had the advantage of not leaking memory
masak ah.
...and it doesn't handle contextuals?
moritz_ seems it has a disadvantage too :-)
sorear in pmichaud's REPL, there is a single outer block, which has a custom LexPad instance that is backed by a hash
after every line, lexicals are copied from the inner to the otuer block

10:59 svetlins left
sorear How do you deal with separate compilation of modules in the face of Parrot's single root namespace? 11:00
11:02 timbunce joined
jnthn pmichaud++ and I discussed this a little at YAPC::EU nad felt we'd have to move away from using Parrot's namespace mechanism at some point. 11:02
(due to this kinda problem)
sorear I hope I can help you with your replacement 11:04
11:05 Italian_Plumber joined
jnthn I hope so too :-) 11:08
I think it'll be a refactor after the one to get the new meta-model bits in place.
We don't want to bite off too much in one go.
Don't think the Rakudo user base could handle another alpha -> ng style thing, so smaller jumps are kinda preferable. 11:09
sorear tadzik had some code earlier like ::Foo{$name} = sub { } 11:11
I don't want to think about how that ever could have worked
11:13 araujo left
tadzik sorear: ? 11:14
sorear jnthn: Do you see much prospect for object attributes without containers? 11:17
11:17 satyavvd joined
sorear I don't really like that has $.foo is 1 word for the pointer, then 6 more for the container... but I don't see a good improvement without totally breaking &infix:<=> 11:17
(I can cut containers to 4 words with a bunch of representation hacks, but it's not enough of a measured win to be worth all the ugly) 11:19
jnthn sorear: Tied up with that is what assignemnt to a my int @foo; actually means. 11:21
Since that is meant to be a compact array.
sorear Yes 11:22
I had a minor breakthrough last night; decontainerization and unboxing make a lot more sense if considered in isolation 11:23
I can very easily make an UnboxedContainer<T> type, which allows "my int $foo" to take up only 4 words with no Int object in sight and no loss of semantics 11:24
jnthn I'd certainly seen those as orthogocal, yes. 11:25
sorear UnboxedContainer doesn't have to worry about the scalar flag or autovivifaction, which is what allows it to be 4 easily instead of 6
11:25 boggytwo joined
sorear the flip side is that decontainerized boxed values would be awesome 11:26
(current niecza memory stuff: objects - 7+#slots words; containers - 6 words; Int - 12 words, because slots are Object and so I need a boxed System.Int32 *grr*) 11:27

masak I know we keep saying that Perl 6 development is unprecedented as an open, democratic process of language design. but there are probably other languages that have taken a similar path. what about Haskell, for example? 13:57
mathw Haskell is pretty open 13:58
I remember when they were inviting people to weigh in on Haskell Prime
But they aren't as open as Perl 6
masak right. a bit more committee-y. 13:59
mathw Yeah
masak guess Algol 68 was pretty committee-y, too.
mathw but the committee is pretty much open to anybody with a bit of a track record in that kind of research
so it's open within the field, as it were
very academic approach :)
13:59 icwiener left
mathw and they do produce a good language so I'm not going to complain 14:00
masak I think many people who brush by the Perl 6 community and #perl6 don't realize how open the process actually is.
simply because there are not much else to compare against.
mathw yeah
and also because some of the discussions get pretty esoteric
But that's just because people have familiarity 14:01
gottreu is surprised no one has told him to hush.
mathw Anybody who learns what we're talking about and gets involved is welcome at any level

masak here's a good summary of the evolution of Haskell, by the way: research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/peo...istory.pdf -- basically, Haskell evolved first through a number of physical meetings, and then over email. 14:07
tadzik I like the word "meatspace" 14:08

colomon mkramer: ~393,000 hits for "meatspace" in Google, I think it's a little late to kill it. :) 14:11
moritz_ mkramer: what would you use instead? 14:12
mkramer space?
masak 'meatspace' is a fine derogatory terms for those already entrenched in other spaces. I like how it pretends to put the physical world on equal terms with all the other, less palpable ones.

moritz_ well, having "meetings in space" sounds a bit different to me... 14:13
masak tadzik: sorear was referring to the trick used to make Tags.pm work. mfollett++ has been looking at that code recently too. 14:14
tadzik Tags.pm?
masak tadzik: yes, it's in the Web.pm repo.
tadzik I feel like that wasn't me
mkramer besides, when we become robots, meatspace isn't going to work
meat is an implementation detail

tadzik semicolon, right. Hmm, I remember something related in the book recently

moritz_ tadzik: added it to the star repo, so it's available after installation 15:05
tadzik nah, still waiting for everyone's decision
that would require adding a bunch of other modules too
moritz_ ask for forgiveness rather than permission!
tadzik afair there is proto there now, 2 module managers would be confusing, especially if only one works 15:06

masak huh? 23? 16:18
Grimnir_: that would hang.
Grimnir_ ok
masak Grimnir_: since .fmt on a list gobbles up the whole list.
Grimnir_ ah, ok
masak laziness is nice, but it's not a panacea. :)
Grimnir_ hehe, right :)
rakudo my @crap = 0,2 ... *; 16:19
pmichaud that currently hangs also
TimToady that is also eager
use :=
Grimnir_ := ? what does that do?
TimToady does binding instead of assignment with copy
Grimnir_ btw, totally nice feature with the ... thing. 1,2,4 ... * doubles every time? very nice 16:20
TimToady more or less means "define this as"
Grimnir_ so := would make it lazy?
rakudo: my @crap := 0,2 ...*;
pmichaud := avoids the eager assignment
TimToady it doesn't make it eager
p6eval rakudo 607ec4: ( no output )

Grimnir_ wow
TimToady how does it mark it?
pmichaud iterators can be told that they're infinite 16:25
I forget the exact mechanism atm
TimToady well, someone needs to tell ... *
pmichaud right now, only ranges understand infinity
Grimnir_ rakudo: my @crap := (1,2,4 ... *); @crap.elems.say
pmichaud but yes, we can extend that to work for series ending in * 16:26

it only understands it if told 16:27

colomon \o/
pmichaud TimToady: does ^^^ look right to you?
colomon oh, wait... is that actually correct in the general case? 17:09
17:10 plobsing joined
pmichaud "general case"? 17:10
colomon I thought the ,* extension feature was a special rule for one of the metaops. 17:11
"For any kind of zip or dwimmy hyper operator, any list ending with * is assumed to be infinitely extensible by taking its final element and replicating it"
which kind of implies it's not true elsewhere. 17:12
pmichaud well, the ,* in this case doesn't imply "repeat final element"
colomon what does it imply, then? 17:13
pmichaud that the parcel has infinite length
PerlJam That seems like an odd declarative mechanism. 17:14
colomon so if you said (1, 2, 4, *).munch(10), what would you get? 17:15
flussence Method 'munch' not found for invocant of class 'Parcel'
PerlJam heh
flussence .Str doesn't try to return an infinite list, thankfully... 17:16
colomon fair enough
flussence: ~ might in the future. ;)
pmichaud colomon: well, this is all speculative at the moment (more) 17:18
at one point, TimToady++ speculated that ,* would act like * xx Inf
so I would guess that .munch(10) would result in (1,2,4,*,*,*,*,*,*,*)
PerlJam pmichaud: so it *does* imply "repeat final element"! 17:19
:-)
pmichaud PerlJam: I don't know what it should do, I'm only reacting to suggestions :)
flussence hm... an infinite list used in non-lazy context should probably return Failure instead of trying to return a list...
pmichaud flussence: that's already specced. 17:20
flussence ok
huf what if it doesnt know it's infinite until it is?
pmichaud that's the issue. How does one indicate that a gather/take loop is "infinite"? 17:21
flussence for that we'd need "return $list if $list.halts", which probably won't be implemented :)
colomon gather(:infinite) ?
pmichaud it's been speculated that the generic "make this thing infinite" marker is to add ,*
as in (gather ...),* 17:22
flussence
.oO( at least, not in a generic way... )
pmichaud afk, bbi15
colomon pmichaud: seems to me like it might be useful to allow signaling both ways? ie "I know this gather is finite" and "I know this gather is infinite". (vs "I have no cool about this gather.") 17:25
or does ,* indicate "this gather might be infinite"?

masak even 'my TypeWithLongishName $foo .= new'
mfollett: yes, it will.
mfollett: the question remains (I think) whether the type will then need parens.

sjohnson masak: it's definitely nice when you are stuck with the variable already for whatever reason, and don't have to write: $var = trim($var); as in PHP 19:12
i was reminded of this cause i did some PHP today

sjohnson i need to learn how those * things work 19:29
mkramer the thing about * is that it's many different things
mfollett In that context * just makes an anonymous subroutine so that you can evaluate the expression with a value later on.
moritz_ there are basically just two uses of the term *
one is for currying 19:30
mkramer it's alternatively a Whatever object, the multiply operator, a special syntactic construct that turns an expression into a closure
mfollett So, "Hello, " ~ * is equivalent to sub { "Hello, " ~ $^a }
moritz_ and the other is a just a literal Whatever
and the called routine decides what to do with it

sorear PCT::Node switching to 6model would be an unspeakably huge win 19:57
jnthn oh, I know something is. PCT::Compiler.
sorear: Yeah, I won't block on that.
sorear: But I fully agree and want it to happen too.
19:57 mavrc left
sorear it would probably cut rakudo build memory usage by 80-95% 19:57
pmichaud you're over-worrying :)
jnthn Optimism. sorear has it. :-)
pmichaud the only thing that inherits from PCT:: (afaik) are PCT::Node and PCT::HLLCompiler 19:58
jnthn pmichaud: I'm not so much worried it's un-doable, I'm just keen that we work out an approach. :-)
pmichaud and PCT::HLLCompiler probably can be entirely re-written in NQP
jnthn Aha
19:58 rgrau_ left
pmichaud sorear++ did a lot of it already :) 19:59
mfollett florz: what do you mean?
jnthn sorear++ :-)
pmichaud and tbh, not a lot should depend heavily on p6object -- since what p6object attempts to provide is an API
jnthn Right, and add_method etc will live on.
pmichaud as long as the new model provides type objects, then everything else ought to be reasonably okay
jnthn Yes, it (deeply) provides type objects. :-)
florz mfollett: I mean the fact that my browser displays something like this: 20:00
You would find $foo holds something like:
pmichaud anyway, I'm not to worried about breaking the build/bootstrap
florz Which you could then use like this:
20:00 stkowski left
pmichaud I suspect bootstrapping this time around could be far easier than it was the first time around 20:00
jnthn Well, it's all in a branch anyway
I will want to bootstrap in order to do the gradual typing-y and serialization-y bits
pmichaud also, I'd suggest not worrying about doing the full bootstrap cycle yet
jnthn But that's phase 2. :-)
Well, I want to bootstrap at the end of phase 1 again 20:01
pmichaud sure
jnthn But yes, I'm fine with breaking it for a while.
pmichaud but the primary thing to focus on is getting an nqp that uses the new model
jnthn Actually being able to do so again will probably be what tells me I'm done with phase 1 in the roadmap I blogged. :-)
OK.
pmichaud once we have that, I can certainly help with completing the bootstrap cycle
moritz_ std: ss/a/b/
p6eval std : OUTPUT«ok 00:01 116m␤»
pmichaud i.e., for a short period of time, I'd expect we have nqp and nqp-newmodel 20:02
jnthn nqp-rx in nom now supports knowhow decls with attribute and method declarations.
(nom = branch name :-))
pmichaud oh, yeah, knowhow might be a bit of an issue for existing nqp-rx
jnthn It's additive.
pmichaud anyway, making *that* conversion isn't something that worries me much
jnthn *nod*
20:02 xabbu42 joined
pmichaud I'm more concerned about the effort needed to migrate rakudo 20:02
jnthn It may be that we have two NQPs going into Parrot.
For a little bit.
20:03 xabbu42 left
jnthn We'll see. 20:03
20:03 xabbu42_ joined
mfollett florz: Yeah, I put all my code examples as gists on github because Posterous doesn't support syntax highlighting on any version of Perl whereas at least github's gists will do syntax highlighting for Perl 5. 20:03
jnthn Yes, migrating Rakudo will be...effort.
20:03 stkowski joined
jnthn I did at least hide most stuff behind a meta-model API that won't be changing crazily. 20:03
pmichaud anyway, when did you want to meet to discuss?
20:03 mavrc joined
pmichaud this week, next week, two weeks? 20:03
jnthn Tomorrow evening is *in theory* OK.
florz mfollett: which effectively makes the document unreadable - that sounds much more sensible than lacking syntax highlighting indeed
jnthn Well, I'm keen to have the discussion earlier rather than later. 20:04
pmichaud okay, this week then.
any idea how long?
jnthn Because it may well influence my priorities from here on in.
pmichaud #phasers is at 19h00
jnthn I mostly want to run by you what I've got so far to make sure it sounds sane, and discuss migration planning.
pmichaud I have kid pickup at 19h45
jnthn We could take it after #phasers, if that works at all for you.
Ah, OK
After kid pickup?
I don't see us needing longer than an hour. 20:05
pmichaud 20h00 works for me, but around 21h00 I'll probably have to help with kid hw
oh, maybe not if Paula sticks around home tomorrow (as she's currently planning to do)
sjohnson kid hw probably pretty easy for a perl6 dev!
pmichaud anyway, let's tentatively say 20h00 utc tomorrow
jnthn #phasers is...21h00 my time.
sjohnson :-)
pmichaud if it doesn't work out, we'll find a time on wed
(all times quoted by me are utc :-) 20:06
jnthn So 22h00 utc is like 1am here. And I have to be at $dayjob at 9am the next day...
Yeah...I think that will probably make me exhausted the next day. :(
OK, maybe Wed is better.
pmichaud 20h00 is 22h00 for you which is 10p, right?
jnthn Oh, sorry 20:07
pmichaud 20h00 utc is 22h00 localtime for you, yes?
jnthn You wrote 20h00 and I read it as 22h00
Is it 20h00 UTC now?
pmichaud yes
20:07 alester left
pmichaud 20h07 20:07
jnthn It's 22h07 here at the moemnt
So yes
:-)
OK, then that is fine.
20h00
Tomorrow.
20:07 xabbu42_ left
jnthn :-) 20:07
pmichaud will plan for then 20:08
oh, also tomorrow I have R* release to cut
jnthn
.oO( I hope I'm better at meta-models than I am at timezones... )
pmichaud hmmmm
let's stick with 20h00 utc for now.
if I'm running behind or have other things come up we'll resched for Wed
jnthn OK, that's fine. 20:09
20:09 mavrc left
jnthn $dayjob has shifted my waking hours a little earlier at the moment. :-) 20:09

pmichaud fun... not quite so much. :-|

Aww.

diakopter sorear: but remember value types don't count, since they're always stack allocated only, or embedded in other reference types 20:36
like value_type[] 20:37
and value types are "said" to derive from System.Object .... 20:38
but really only at compile time, unless they're going to be boxed. really, a boxed value type is a different type 20:39
sorear diakopter: value types aren't gcables 20:41
so my statement doesn't apply to them
diakopter right, just clarifying. 20:42
... because the value types are "said" to derive from System.Object 20:43

Grimnir_ I can't get ff (flipflop) to work 21:14
I have a silly one-liner just to test it, but it doesn't work: perl6 -e 'use v6; for $*IN.lines { if /__START__/ ff /__STOP__/ { if (/^^\d+$$/) { say "Numbers"; } elsif (/^^\w+$$/) { say "Letters"; } else { say "Nothing important"; } } else { say "..."; } }' 21:15
btw, does the "use v6" actually do anything?
flussence on the command line, not really
moritz_ ff is NYI 21:16
sorear use v6; does nothing if encountered by a Perl 6 compiler
moritz_ Grimnir_: it gives a proper error message when you accidentally run the file with perl 5 21:17
Grimnir_ ah, ok
right
is .pl still the right name?
moritz_ yes
sorear In a hypothetical future world where Rakudo can emulate Perl 5, 'use v6' will switch that off 21:18
flussence uses .p6, but only because vim's not smart enough to load the right syntax when it sees "v6" at the top...
sorear but it's not the only way to do that; the 'class' and 'module' keywords also force v6, as does a .pm6 file extension
Grimnir_ flussence: that/s exactly the thing
sorear at one point package NAME BLOCK was also specced to trigger v6 21:19
but that syntax has been added to Perl5 recently
Grimnir_ flussence: is it because vim can't handle it, or is it because no body has made a proper vim plugin yet?
21:19 pwnage- left
perigrin sorear: MX::Declare kinda horks the class {} trigger 21:20

perigrin poniedo?
Grimnir_ strange cats... now they are eating potato 21:22
