patrick[BROWSING hello 00:12
I've just installed the new Rakudo star and first ran it with perl6 --version and got an error, is that one already known? 00:13
sorear We can't answer that without knowing the error you got. 00:14
patrick[BROWSING Null PMC access in get_bool() 00:15
sorear How did you install the new Rakudo star?
patrick[BROWSING perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot && make && make install 00:16
before that, I downloaded it from github and untared it 00:17
sorear is not familiar with this one, but doesn't follow Rakudo* too closely 00:19
patrick[BROWSING it's not a big problem though, perl6 itself seems to work, but “perl6 --version” was the first run I did
sorear ha

phenny tadzik: 11 Jan 22:55Z <snarkyboojum> tell tadzik so in that case it might be worth moving your commands to --<command> switches? a la cpanm etc
snarkyboojum tadzik: cool 09:06
tadzik I was writing the USAGE looking at the cpanm --help
snarkyboojum tadzik: in that case, I have a feature request :) .. --info switch or similar to just return info about a particular module 09:07
tadzik: e.g. the source of the module 09:09
09:09 daxim joined
snarkyboojum tadzik: not the source code, but where the module came from praps e.g. github url.. I don't know :) 09:09
09:10 am0c left, nadim joined, mberends left
tadzik snarkyboojum: awesome idea, well volunteered! 09:11
snarkyboojum tadzik: I was going to just give you a patch, but wanted to wait until you had changed the command line args stuff :)
sorear tadzik: what sorts of features does neutro need of the implementation? 09:12
tadzik bah, META.info has no author
sorear: I check it on niecza from time to time, let me see
oh, file operations definitely
and it's not dependency-free, so JSON, File::Tools and Module::Tools
snarkyboojum: the args stuff was fixed yesterday 09:13
sorear also, I beleive you meant to say "baile"
tadzik (in the branch of course)
probably, I'm not even A1 in Spanish :)
sorear calling a function bailar is like calling it to_dance
A1?
tadzik yeah, that's right
09:14 kaare_ joined
tadzik there is this scale on learning languages, A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 09:14
sorear is not competent in the language by any means
tadzik B2~C1 is what native speakers speak, iirc
sorear tadzik: I do not beleive that system is used in the US
tadzik maybe
sorear so I have no experience with it
tadzik have you heard of this FCE thingy? 09:16
that's B2, so sort of "the basic understand and usage of the language". A1, which I'm not at yet, is like "I can understand basic sentences from the topics I know and say something in easy words about the topics I know" 09:17
iirc

sorear delightful, my *-currying tests are broken 11:05
ok (* + 5)(2) == 7 # This means ok -> $a { ($a + 5)(2) == 7 }, and blocks are true 11:06
moritz_ you shouldn't curry code invocation :-)
mux so that's how perl6 allows currying 11:08
masak mux: there's also .assume
moritz_ .assuming iirc 11:09
sorear * is mostly just for operators
although I've used *.&defined in a couple evil places in niecza-v6 :> 11:10
mux so, * for left and right sections, and .assuming for partial application
(that shouldn't be called currying actually)
masak right, .assuming
mux googles .assuming
sorear "left and right sections"... I know where YOU came from
mux hides :-) 11:11
masak it's ok, we like lambdapeople.
mux heh, I like that name: "whatever-star"
masak mux: and I might be a bit confused about what currying really is, still, so maybe .assuming doesn't count, no.
moritz_ thinks it does 11:12

mux sorear: please tell me when I met you already, I feel bad about it
moritz_ sorear: you can also exclude smart-matching and binding from whatever currying

snarkyboojum moritz_: gotcha I think - and what do you mean by "s $commit_id" 11:27
moritz_ snarkyboojum: do it, you'll see
the lines are of the form <command> <commit_id>
just change the command to s

tadzik oh, I know how to handle this 14:03
I can create a module shelter, with a META.info for each orphaned module, with additional "note" : "ORPHANED"
So if someone wants to continue work, he/she can adopt his/her module back
daxim what sort of format is .info? 14:04
tadzik json, actually 14:05
if that's what you mean
14:05 Fuad left
daxim they why isn't it named so? 14:05
tadzik hrm 14:06
for I stole it from S22
daxim aha
tadzik where it's said to be YAML
14:06 lurkingnoob left
tadzik META.info is more general, it won't look stupid if one day we'll change json to something else 14:06
daxim I'll teach you data design because we do not have a proper librarian here, that would be a job for one. 14:09
tadzik hm?
daxim note is signifying nothing, a hollow key where all the meaning is in the value ORPHANED
tadzik warnings? 14:10
gotchas? :)
daxim no
tadzik or we can put ORPHANED in the description, then it'll show up on the listing
daxim invent a key that is self-explaining, like: adopted-status: orphaned
lack of that key would imply the default value "actively maintained"
14:11 mj41 left, plobsing left
daxim adding metadata into a name/description is right out. that's the same stupid mistake as tieing the file type to the name as "extension", and we have been suffering from this the last 20, 30 years 14:12
14:13 IllvilJa left
daxim since that key name I just made up is not standardised in a spec, it is customary to prefix it with x- 14:14
tadzik daxim: adding ORPHANED to the description has this good side, that users will clearly see the state and module author will get ashamed 14:16
and that's what I'd really like to achieve.
Generally, putting metadata in name/description is stupid, I agree
daxim that responsibility does not belong in the data, but in the toolchain. whatever web page displays it can put a big fat warning in red and blink when it sees that value 14:17
takadonet tadzik: speaking about being ashamed... you forgot to add one of my modules up there to your META list!

matthias_ I would like to be able to use the declared variable right away in its initialization :)
PerlJam The spec says it should return the hash. That seems like it should be LHF
colomon indeed.
matthias_ cool :) 15:50
PerlJam matthias_: you can and you did :)
colomon though I really don't see the point in using " the declared variable right away in its initialization" -- at least like this?
I mean, why not initialize it directly, rather than trying to push to it during initialization? 15:51
15:51 Psyche^ joined, Psyche^ is now known as Patterner
matthias_ I just find it annoying to write my X; X = ... in several situations :) 15:51
colomon but you can say my X = ... 15:52
matthias_ yeah but it fails if I want to use the variable on the rhs
PerlJam rakudo: my %h = 'a' => 1; say %h.perl;
p6eval rakudo 9b8bad: OUTPUT«{"a" => 1}␤»
PerlJam matthias_: it failed for reasons totally unrelated to being able to use the var as soon as it is declared. 15:53
masak diakopter: I'm not fully backlogged yet, but... three days ago you asked about non-self private attribute access. sorear answered $obj!attr. my impression is that sorear's proposed syntax only concerns private method calls, not private attributes, and that in Perl 6, objects are so opaque that not even non-self objects of the same class can see self's private attributes. 15:54
matthias_ perljam: I meant: I want to be able to use the variable on the rhs of the assignment: my %h = %h.push(); for example fails
PerlJam matthias_: no, it works just fine except that Hash.push doesn't return the hash for assignment. 15:55
colomon matthias_: but how is that construct in any way an improvement of my %h = whatever you were going to push?
PerlJam :)
matthias_ oh!
you're right, mea culpa :)
colomon I can imagine complicated lazy constructs where you might want to use a variable in its own definition, but those won't work with = anyway. :) 15:56

matthias_ other constructs I thought about are my $x; $x = ... while unsuitable($x); which would be cool to write as my $x = ... while unsuitable($x) though I understand that the while-condition probably doesn't know about the $x that I want to initialize :) 15:59
colomon so I guess that is a potential use for my %h .=push(...). huh. learn something every day!
I've got a whistle lesson now, but if no one else has it when I'm done, it's trivially easy to make Hash.push return self. 16:00

tadzik ah, cute 18:12

TimToady that's assuming $/ is mutable, of course
and ends up in the final Match object
18:12 sasha left
TimToady STD currently tends to do that sort of stuff with assignment to $¢<name> though supposedly the cursor is immutable 18:13
masak it feels odd to think of $/ as containing something other than a Match object during parsing.
18:14 justatheory joined
pmichaud I thought $/ contained the partially completed match object (or the state of the match as of that point in the regex) 18:14
(haven't read backscroll, btw) 18:15
TimToady it's a funny thing to deal with in a match engine where cursors are supposedly immutable; the block has to manufactur a new cursor from the final value of the $/ after the block is called 18:16
STD is basically cheating on immutability by assigning directly into a cursor
pmichaud nqp-rx cheats a fair bit on cursors also, although to the external world they appear immutable 18:17
TimToady one almost wishes for versioned immutable objects 18:18
but that's probably more overhead for small objects than simply copying 18:19
a sufficiently ropey string implementation might usually provide immutable strings as versioned mappings to ropes 18:21

TimToady s/usually/usefully/ 18:23
sorear good * #perl6 18:25
pmichaud: why does rakudo do the $/.from > $/.to thing?
niecza's cursors are quite immutable... when porting STD, lines like $¢.<onlystar> = 1 were one of the biggest issues 18:26
to get things to work I added a slightly ad-hoc extension 18:27
niecza: "" ~~ / $<x> = {2 + 2} /; say $/.<x>
p6eval niecza v1-138-g6e17857: OUTPUT«4␤»
pmichaud sorear: left over from PGE, I suspect 18:28
it was just an easy way to indicate a failed match
sorear niecza has mutable cursoroids deep inside, but they're never exposed to user code; $/ in a regex block is a Cursor created as a snapshot
18:29 plobsing joined
TimToady sorear: that's cute, but maybe we should have sugar to do that inside a block 18:29

TimToady thinks about the viability of $¢.=meth 18:31
18:32 us874 left
sorear masak: As I understand it, $!attribute actually means $( self!attribute ). 18:32
TimToady now thinks about the general question of whether $foo .= meth guarantees that $foo.WHICH is invariant
18:33 gbacon left
sorear it can't. consider my $foo = "HI"; $foo .= flip 18:33
colomon huh. I thought it was important that it didn't.
sorear unless you want to allow "HI" === "IH"
TimToady but @foo.=method stays the same WHICH 18:34
doesn't it?
well, maybe just as a normal optimization
I don't suppose it's guaranteed either
colomon @foo.=grep certainly doesn't... 18:35
TimToady right
I guess if we define .= in terms of assignment, there's no such invariant
masak sorear: but self!attribute would be a method call, and S12 *specifically* says that private attributes are slots/storage locations, not accessed by methods.
masak thinks it probably should be defined by assignment 18:36
diakopter TimToady: I'd be grateful for a comment on masak's comment at 09:54 CST today 18:38
TimToady so that argues for a $¢.=push( x => 2+2 ) inside regex blocks
or some such
diakopter: I run my irssi in PST :P 18:39
TimToady is still backlogging in any case
diakopter oh..
masak diakopter: what's that in UTC? 18:40
PerlJam UTC++ 18:41
diakopter I dunno; it's your thought about access to private attributes & methods to objects other than self (but of the same class as self), in methods of a given class
TimToady irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2011-01-12#i_3179322

diakopter 2.8 hours ago 18:42
masak diakopter: I'm surprised that sorear was the one bringing this up; I generally feel his metamodel and mine are fairly close when it comes to Perl 6 OO.
pmichaud 9:54 CST = 15:54 UTC
TimToady I don't think private attributes are that opaque; a class hopefully can trust itself
pmichaud = 7:54 PST
masak pmichaud++
pmichaud keeps three clocks in his head. 18:43
and yes, my irssi runs in UTC :)
PerlJam pmichaud: because a man with 2 clocks nevers knows what time it it? :)
diakopter masak: sorear was the one bringing this up?
masak TimToady: is S12 specific about that? what's the syntax for private attribute access out of self?
TimToady but it might need to use the trusted syntax, not the self syntax, to get at another object's privates...er...
pmichaud this question has come up several times before
looking :)
masak afk
pmichaud github.com/perl6/mu/blob/master/misc/pm.txt#L76 18:44
diakopter tries to figure out where r28932 is 18:45
pmichaud it's in S12, iirc
TimToady also, note that all of these private accessors are really just function calls into the underlying repr; there's no dispatch going on here 18:46
so yes, these "accessors" are just ways of naming slots and controlling access via the "trusts" mechanism
PerlJam S12:1319 18:47

TimToady well, to be sure, I actually use my own ack-ish program that I wrote long ago

diakopter sorear: I see now; I got the . wrong; it shoulda been ::
sorear $obj!$?PACKAGE::attr is right out though 18:58
package names need to be barewords, period
TimToady it would be a bit of a burden to support symbolic refs on slot names, but the "my class" special case can probably be sugared 18:59

TimToady the sugar's already there, you just have to semanticalize it

TimToady we should probably carp at CHECK time if meth isn't a known method in the current class, since it probably indicates an attempt to cross a class boundary
niecza: class Foo { has $.bar = 7; method x { say self!"b{"a"}r"() } }; Foo.new.x

TimToady if lookbehinds worked we could check for . there I guess 19:06
the error is a bit LTA as it stands 19:07
but the concat warning is going to be crucial for recovering P5 programmers, so we can't just take it out 19:08

flussence if it was really better, they wouldn't need to try and force the point so much ;)
PerlJam though the #5 thing in that post makes me think the Perl community (including Perl 5) needs to spend a little time making and marketing "perl distributions". But I think Perl 6 will have to lead the way in that endeavor. 20:21

sorear TimToady: niecza does whatevercode currying on postfix operators, including postcircumfix:<( )> 21:30
moritz++ has hinted that I should probably excempt that operator 21:31
TimToady perhaps
sorear like how infix:<=> doesn't curry ever
diakopter I wonder if irssi's tab completion can be extended to auto-add the ++
moritz_ diakopter: I'm pretty sure it can
TimToady the uc ones are really supposed to be treated as macros
so it's really a question of macro precedence
also, .HOW desugars to something that can't be a straight method call 21:32
since it has to supply the original object as 1st arg
sorear it's not a straight method call
but it's still a curryable operator
TimToady so it's really macro precedence
sorear { $^a.HOW } makes sense 21:33
I am not familiar with this use of "prcedence"
TimToady just as in "order of application"
