qiyong does perl6 have a native implementation? 02:31
not on vm
sorear What does that question mean? 02:34
qiyong does perl6 have a native implementation? like the perl5, not the rakudo 02:35
plobsing perl5 walks a tree of ppcodes, which is very much what I would define as a VM 02:36
sorear perl 5's internal VM is slower than Parrot at a lot of stuff 02:38
just because it doesn't have a name doesn't mean it doesn't exist

mberends qiyong: SMOP is a non virtual machine runtime for Perl 6, but it is incomplete and has not been worked on for about two years :-( www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi?smop 04:55
qiyong: Ponie was a project more than 2 years ago to implement Perl 5 on the same runtime as Perl 6, but that was abandoned because the developers could not make it work reasonably. 05:02

tadzik what an investigation 05:52
05:53 satyavvd left
mberends sorear: to quote Daniel Ruoso from the perlfoundation page, "SMOP is not a Virtual Machine. SMOP is simply a runtime engine that happens to have a interpreter run loop." AFAIK that means compilers targeting SMOP emit C code that makes calls into the SMOP runtime system. 05:53
woosley What is std.pm6 different from rakudo and other implements? I see they all can run perl6 code 05:54
05:57 kaare_ joined
mberends woosley: STD.pm6 is a reference grammar (with a working parser) only. Niecza can compiler and execute a subset of what STD.pm6 describes. Rakudo has a slightly different grammar and can also execute much more of your code. 05:57
*compile
woosley mberends: So STD.pm6 can not execute perl6 code 05:59
mberends woosley: correct

sorear SMOP is, coincedentally, extremely similar to MS COM at the ABI level
it would probably take less than a month to make it completely compatible
and then you could embed perl 6 in IE6 06:40

TimToady finish up the JVM one, and then talk about that :P 08:38
colomon TimToady! \o/ 08:39

08:39 rhr left
mberends o noes, that means inventing a goto in Java ! 08:40
TimToady well, was supposed to be on an airplane right now, but somehow I swapped my passport with my mother-in-law's while we were on safari, and didn't notice till we got to the airport...
mberends TimToady: your is the best answer though ;-)
*yours
TimToady they didn't think I was pretty enough to pass for her... 08:41
so we get a 20 hour extention to our stay here, and an award of -$1k or so for changing tickeets :( 08:42
colomon :(
jnthn mberends: The .Net one is probably easiest in that it's a ground-up implementation. It's missing a few bits, but it is cleaner since it doesn't have to interact with Parrot-y bits. 08:43
TimToady: Ouch. :(
08:43 justatheory left
mberends jnthn: and which repo? the 6model one or one of the NQP's (I lost track of where you're working now). 08:44
jnthn 6model one is active repo for CLR and JVM implemenations. Only Parrot one is currently in nqp repo. 08:47

p6eval rakudo 74dcce: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Missing block at line 22, near ""␤» 13:56
donri Why doesn't this work
moritz_ didn't we discuss this before?
'for' is syntactic, and needs a block.
donri yes but this is syntax
why a block and not simply a code though?
rakudo: for <a b c> &say
p6eval rakudo 74dcce: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Missing block at line 22, near ""␤»
moritz_ donri: because it breaks the "no two terms in a row" rule 13:57
and such breaks can only be tolerated for a very limited syntax 13:58
donri why is it not a function then
for <a b c>: { ... }
because it's syntactic elsewhere?
.say for <a b c>
woosley perl6: my @a = <a b c>; say "@a"; my $a = "f"; say "$a"; 13:59

woosley std: my @a = <a b c>; say "@a";
p6eval std 4608239: OUTPUT«ok 00:01 122m␤»
moritz_ woosley: rakudo and pugs are correct here 14:00
colomon I assume that's a known niecza bug?
moritz_ (std just does syntax checking)
colomon: not to me, but I guess sorear++ knows :-)
(and if not, the spectests will tell him)
donri moritz_: true :) 14:01
woosley Why say "@a" is not working like perl5?
donri sorta wish map function semantics was inverted
map @a: {} vs current map {}, @a
jnthn woosley: use say "@a[]" for those
woosley: Too many accidental say "mail me at [email@hidden.address] OH NOES interpolation!!!" 14:02
moritz_ woosley: to avoid unintiontial interpolation of things that are meant to be email addresses
woosley Oh, my bad^^
colomon donri: I know I prefer @a.map({}). My impression is that is a fairly common thing among the zebras.. 14:03
donri but that's method not function :) 14:04
colomon donri: that's my point precisely 14:05
donri also if the function was an export of the method the list should come first too right?
method map is export ...
map @instance, args...
moritz_ well, it's not
donri why not! 14:06
moritz_ just like join() has the separator first
donri: to adher to common idioms when used a function
jnthn wonders how much of that is Perl 5 history
donri idioms that fit less nicely in perl6 :(
moritz_ *all* functional languages have map CODE LIST
donri i know
jnthn Ah, true.
donri pretend it means "map over" then 14:07
map-over @list, &code
14:07 kaare_ left
moritz_ and join @list, 'separator' 14:07
moritz_ shudders
donri is that how it's now? 14:08
moritz_ donri: map, join and the likes can't be a simple 'is export' anyway
no
donri because that looks better too
"join this @list with this 'separator'"
moritz_ because it doesn't just want an array, but a slurpy arrray in the signature
colomon moritz_: exactly
moritz_ and you can't have required positionals after variadic positionals 14:09
colomon rakudo: say ~map(* + 10, 2, 3, 15)
p6eval rakudo 74dcce: OUTPUT«12 13 25␤»
moritz_ and when you have lazy lists, it just makes much more sense to treat the *first* argument special, in contrast to the last, which might not even exist
14:10 pmurias joined
moritz_ just think of map (1 ... *), *.sqrt 14:10
it'll never get to the closure
pmurias ggoebel: not yet 14:11
woosley rakudo: class KKK{ has Bool $.att is rw}; my $class = KKK.new; $class.att = "string"
p6eval rakudo 74dcce: ( no output )

jnthn Will happen with 6model merge as they're needed for natively typed attrs. 14:14
14:14 plobsing left
moritz_ looks forward to it 14:15
and as always it will break quite some code
moritz_ remembers all that code with my Array of Int @a; etc.
colomon but that's the best sort of breakage, as it gives us direction and focus and more power when it is fixed!
moritz_ aye

donri yay lua is faster than PASM ;) 16:19

donri just testing startup time for hello world in different languages 16:21
lua: 4ms, pir/pasm: 12ms, python: 27ms, rakudo: 490ms :D
moritz_ concluding that "lua is faster" without further qualification seems oh so wrong 16:22
sbp rakudo just adds a pause for emphasis
donri moritz_: not really being serious here
moritz_ donri: good
donri perl5: 6ms 16:23
take that python ;)
moritz_ p5 is amazingly fast for a non-jitted scripting language 16:24
it pays dearly for it... you'll see what I mean when you try to fix a bug in the regex engine :-)
or in the lexer
donri does it even do vm/bytecode? 16:25
PerlJam donri: what's the startup time of the empty program?
moritz_ donri: it compiles to an optree that's executed in memory 16:26
PerlJam donri: also, check out the memory footprint of each of those programs too

plobsing parrot starts up slow. this is a known issue. but there are many priorities above it. such as parrot runs slow, parrot is memory hungry, etc. 16:29
plobsing sometimes wonders how hard it would be to flatten perl 5's op trees to threaded code. they already flatten it to a linked list, so it could work. 16:32
probably very hard though 16:33
moritz_ rurban was working on JIT-compiling the optree, last I talked to him

dwhipp Looking at Numeric.pm I see a whole bunch of methods implemented as method foo() { note "foo needed"; fail "foo needed" } 18:01
I'm wondering if { fail :verbose, "..." } would be the right way to prevent this duplication 18:02
moritz_ dwhipp: rakudo sometimes silently eats fail() messages (and at the same time aborts execution of a statement) 18:03

pyrimidine masak: very true. though it's fairly readable now, if you know how to read it.
takadonet ya
masak I disagree :)
pyrimidine What would you improve on? 20:15
masak I think I'd do the long string as a hash table, laying it out so that the codons stood out.
I'd definitely have things as several shorter statements, instead of one long.
pyrimidine ok 20:16
masak descriptive variable names.
stuff like that.
takadonet well atm I'm still in getting it to work stage
Once everything is ported over and all the tests are passing. Then it's time to improve it 20:17
pyrimidine nods 20:18
takadonet Since we have no real users, we can do whatever we want, when we want 20:19
masak I think I'd write the hash table as "AAA" => "K" etc for extra clarity. 20:24
one can lay it out in rows and columns so as to group things in the usual way.

this month's, I mean.

There's lots of active development on both Niecza and Rakudo's nom branch.
and some development on Rakudo's main branch, of course.
guest___ as someone who has limited time but wants and would like to see Perl 6 commonly in production...what the recommendation? 22:52
i'm just a sheeple...
but don't see too many vocal shephards
colomon Right now today, your best bet might be to work on a module. :) 22:53
Get something useful done in a sandbox of your own, and hopefully it will work on both implementations in the not-so-long run.
guest___ is the idea that we'll have multiple "common" implementations then? 22:54
colomon the idea is that Perl 6 will have no official implementation.
And even compiler which can pass most of the spectest is officially a Perl 6.

C# lambda expressions (using => notation) become Java anonymous classes. This is a lot of workaround writing because the anonymous classes require an interface definition to implement, otherwise they inherit from Object. 23:09
ughhh
jnthn It doesn't pass anything close to as many tests as the CLR version. Though I'm hacking with mberends this weekend so maybe we get some more progress. :) 23:10
Yes, "fun"... :)
guest___ haha. well sounds like a great project.
jnthn :) 23:11
frettled There are lots of great little projectlets in the Perl 6 ecosystem. 23:12
sjohnson thats cute
guest___ C# sealed class becomes Java final class. Effect is not quite the same.
jnthn doesn't remember Java enough to know what the difference is :)
guest___ aren't you being a bit conservative with the use of "projectlets" for the scope? :) 23:13
