woosley well, 'does' works for role 05:55
TimToady the problem with the old syntax is that 'is' interfered with Test's is function 05:56
that's why we relegated traits to 'also'

moritz the inner () flattens out on assignment 07:55
woosley moritz: thanks 07:56
moritz x really serves two purposes in perl 5: string repetition and list repetition - in perl 6 those are separate operators
woosley moritz: did you notice the 'also does' problem in the class definition? looks like it is not implemented in rakudo 07:57
moritz that's correct 07:59
08:06 masak joined 08:07 yves_ left
masak lol hi zebras 08:07
moritz lol it's masak!!!!! 08:08
masak this course is odd. :) 08:09
we're all sitting in the audience thinking "I could totally write a framework for this" 08:10
moritz :-)
masak all the while the speaker is bashing frameworks, saying they're often not worth the complexity :)
moritz except that there are frameworks for this already, right?
masak this is a technique that refreshingly doesn't *need* a framework.
it just makes very good use of OO principles, and pulls things off with relatively little code. 08:11
moritz sounds like something I should learn eventually.
08:12 Su-Shee left, Su-Shee joined
masak maybe I should hold a post-course evening course, with a slant to Perl 6. 08:12
all of which is described is possible in Perl 6 as well, except perhaps a bit of compile-time type checking of parametric roles. 08:14
mathw sounds interesting 08:15
do you have a leaflet or small booklet I could read?
masak hold on, I'll get something.
woosley perl6: foo(); my @p = 1,2,3; sub foo(){say @p.elems}; 08:16
mathw \o/
p6eval pugs, rakudo 4bf132, niecza v4-47-gfffa4cd: OUTPUT«0␤»
woosley LoL, why it is 0
mathw I assume because foo() runs before @p is assigned 08:17
masak woosley: because the call is before the assignment.
mathw: cqrsinfo.com/documents/cqrs-introduction/
mathw: let me know if that explanation is too dry and boring. I assure you that the actual material on the course isn't. 08:18
woosley: there are two aspects here. @p is in scope in foo because the compiler sees @p first and then foo. but @p doesn't have any values yet when foo() is run, because foo() is before the assignment. 08:19
woosley: you'll find the same thing happening in most other languages: Ruby, Python, Java, C... 08:20
mathw masak: It's not very well-written 08:21
woosley masak: I thought it would be the elements number, apparently I am wrong, also in perl5...
mathw masak: but I sense the underlying idea might be interesting
woosley: it is the elements number - at the time you call foo, there isn't anything in @p
moritz rakudo: my @p = 1, 2, 3; say @p.elems
p6eval rakudo 4bf132: OUTPUT«3␤»

woosley yep, I got it, bad expression^^
masak mathw: but as I said, I'll be happy to pass on this knowledge. that'll help me grok it better, too.
mathw masak: great :) 08:24

moritz what I don't understand in that page: 08:32
void CreateCustomer(Customer) 08:33
it seems I can retrieve customers by ID
but how can I retrieve the new customer when I don't know its ID yet?
masak good question.
moritz a LastNewCustomer() getter would help, but that's SO ugly 08:34
global state et. al.
masak here, I created a doodle, so that people interested in learning about CQRS can say when they would like it to happen: www.doodle.com/g6vsp3h3rs5cnk2v
moritz: I read CreateCustomer(Customer) as being a copy constructor. 08:36
moritz masak: so the copy has the same ID as the old one? 08:37
if not, the question still applies
08:37 jaffa4 joined
moritz and the question in the general case still remains for an ordinary constructor 08:37
masak you get a new Customer, but it has a new ID, I presume. 08:38
jaffa4 hi
masak hi, jaffa4
jaffa4 I have got regular expression converter
Could someone test it/
and give me feedback
masak jaffa4: url?
moritz what does it translate to what? 08:39
jaffa4 you already saw it
masak jaffa4: yes, I know. but I don't remember the url :)
jaffa4 I just got some feedback it does not work properly at times
masak it translates p5 regexes to p6 regexes.
jaffa4 www.equinoxbase.com/p5p6regconv/converter.html
masak it's an intriguing idea. I would do something like that with GGE, though. 08:40
because then it's AST-based.
jaffa4 what gge?
masak jaffa4: I'm guessing your solution is string-based.
jaffa4 yes
if that makes any difference 08:41
masak jaffa4: GGE is a regex/grammar engine.
jaffa4: it currently only understands Perl 6 regexes, but it can easily be extended to understand Perl 5 regexes, too.
moritz seems to handle the basics pretty well
masak so it could parse a Perl 5 regex, and then from the AST emit a Perl 6 regex. 08:42
moritz of course it doesn't translate quantified captures correctly, because 5 and 6 do it so differently
masak that's one thing that would be simpler with GGE.
jaffa4 it should
WHat does not?
WHat is it/ 08:43
?
moritz (.)+ in perl 5 only captures the last match
in perl 6 it captures all
masak oh.
that's not what I was thinking about.
moritz there's no straight-forward way to convert those
masak I was thinking about getting capture numbering right.
jaffa4 rakudo: say 3*3
p6eval rakudo 4bf132: OUTPUT«9␤»
moritz it makes a difference in cases like (\w)+\1
masak but I guess that's more of a runtime thing.
moritz in p5 that's the same as \w*(\w)\1 08:44
whereas the correct perl 6 translation would be more like (\w+)$0
masak: aye, capture numbering is tricky, because it's perl-scope in perl 6 and global in perl 5 08:45
masak moritz: I don't think that's the correct Perl 6 translation. 08:48
that captures all but the last match.
moritz rakudo: say 'aaaa' ~~ /(\w)+$0/; say $0 08:49
p6eval rakudo 4bf132: OUTPUT«aaaa␤a a a␤»
moritz huh. Is that correct? 08:50
masak don't think so.
moritz facepalms 08:51
$0 is an array
what happens when you interpolate an array into a regex?
you get an alternation, no?
moritz presents the case to the Regex High Court of TimToady, pmichaud and sorear 08:52
is that another "doctor, it hurts when I do this"? :-)
masak no.
this is bad.
you're clearly not intending $0 as an array, but as a submatch string. 08:53
moritz rakudo: say 'abcd' ~~ /(.)+$0/; say $) 08:54
rakudo: say 'abcd' ~~ /(.)+$0/; say $0

Rotwang 4 hours? 09:10
moritz 2, if I understood correctly 09:11
masak correct, 2.
not because there isn't more to talk about, but because that's the scope I'm imagining.
I plan to lean heavily on runnable/running Perl 6 code. 09:12
Rotwang I see
moritz masak: my participation always depends on not too much interruptions by Ronja, so take my signup with a grain of salt 09:13
s/much/many/
masak certainly. 09:14
if nothing else, you can lurk and read the logs afterwards.
moritz right
and I surely will
just remind me to set up the logs in time :-)

masak I'm assuming I won't have to register #cqrs-perl6 for this small a thing.
moritz Rotwang: my daughter
Rotwang ah, ok 09:16
moritz masak: not at all. If you want I can send _ilbot in, or I can just hang out and copy&paste my irssi logs later
masak any option is fine by me. 09:17
I'd consider having the logs saved afterwards as a nice bonus, but not essential. 09:19

09:43 PZt left
moritz another workaround 09:43
masak I'm afraid rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=84492 is going to be a bit of a barrier when giving the mini-course.
some of the patterns involved like to pull in multi methods from roles. 09:44
moritz :/ 09:45
masak oh well. I can probably get quite close to how the code would look if Rakudo weren't broken in that particular area. 09:46
a guy here has, as a desktop image on his laptop, a fair semi-clad lady in a provocative pose. I'm struck by the different norms that exist in different countries. in Sweden, you could get a reprimand for that. 09:51
from my experience, I suspect Sweden is the outlier here, at least in Europe. 09:52
moritz could you? I thought Sweden was fairly liberal...
masak we are. but gender roles are touchy. 09:53
moritz "we are. Except when we are not." :-)
masak at least at the layers of society where I move.
YMMV.
arnsholt There are two parts of it, I think (from my Norwegian perspective)
masak liberalism does not mean that people freely accept discrimination. 09:54
moritz I wouldn't display such a picture in a professional setting
arnsholt One is the whole gender-equality thing, which is important in Scandinavia
mathw It would be frowned upon here
Definitely considered inappropriate for a professional environment
arnsholt Another is, I suspect, a remnant of the puritan Protestant ethic
09:54 tzhs joined
arnsholt Similar to our alcohol laws 09:54
moritz masak: without seeing the image it's hard to draw a line between discrimination and displaying beauty 09:55
probably depends on how provocative the pose is
masak moritz: yes. and it's also a subjective thing. 09:57
mostly, I too am surprised too see such an image in a professional setting.
the speaker has gone past it a few times and made jokes about it.
moritz that isn't very professional either 09:58
(except when the jokes are thinly veiled reprimands for being so unprofessional)
mathw I do tend to stop and think about my desktop background when I take my laptop anywhere
masak it's things like "I don't understand how this guy gets any actual work done with that desktop background." 09:59
arnsholt I have to admit I usually don't, but that's probably because I only see it every other week or so ^_^
mathw heh yes 10:00
I only see the one at work when I lock the screen
my one at home only really gets seen when I have to reboot to install updates
masak ...and of course, there's 30 guys in the room, and no gals.
the only women around are hotel employees.
moritz masak: now we could start talking about cause and effect
regarding desktop backgrounds: I get used to them, and tend to ignore them from then on 10:01
so there's not much point in having one really
I kept the one I have now out of laziness
mathw this is why I don't understand people complaining about no desktop icons in GNOME 3 10:02
I never *see* my desktop
so why would I want to put things on it that I then need to shuffle windows around to find?
moritz masak: I do, but only because I have 9 virtual desktops :-) 10:03
mathw the desktop is just a load of space to put windows on
masak my desktop backgroun is a solid blue. I have no icons on it. :)
s/backgroun/background/
arnsholt I use a tiling window manager. My destop is black 10:04
I think =D
*desktop
moritz my wife would kill me if I did :-)
she sometimes reuses my session for browsing
arnsholt Hehe, I can see how that would lead to marital issues 10:05
mathw I'm single :)
ish
and my possibly-boyfriend (or whatever is appropriate to call him) has his own laptop, as is only proper
arnsholt My gf is still working on befriending OS X when borrowing my laptop (but I've already decided her next laptop should be a Mac =) 10:06
moritz now about using vimperator... :-)
mathw Yeah mine's fairly safe from my family when they visit because they see a GNOME desktop and think 'wtf?' 10:08

arnsholt The only speedbump is my lack of fluency with Haskell which makes changing the configuration a bit of an adventure at times =) 10:12
mathw I know Haskell, that was the easy bit
I just couldn't get used to a tiling window manager
I realised that a decent overlapping window manager was good enough for me 10:13
Although right now I'm scowling at Windows XP for being so fearfully primitive
arnsholt Ah, right. I usually run all my application fullscreen anyways, so it was a pretty painless transition
mathw ah I almost never do that
arnsholt Occasionally while programming I'd fiddle to sort of half-and-half my screen with code and docs, or code and app or something
That last bit turned out to be trivial with a tiling WM, which pretty much sold me on the whole thing 10:14
mathw yeah it should be
I think I could learn to use one if I really put the time in 10:15
But I didn't start with it until I'd been using Compiz with extensive use of the Scale plugin for years, and I just got so used to that workflow

bbkr_ Is every module in ecosystem included in Star release? I'm planning to polish JSON::RPC (include latest Socket::INET changes, and use modifed LWP::Simple as transport layer) so it can be added to ecosystem. 10:16
moritz bbkr_: no 10:17
bbkr_: star has a separate list of modules
bbkr_ moritz: thanks. BTW: i will fork your LWP and add sending content in request, so various *RPC modules can be implemented. 10:18

nicola anybody here?
moritz nope, just robots 12:30
nicola i need some guidance
oops
moritz don't take me serious :-)
nicola oh ok
so who is Britney Spears?
12:32 nicola is now known as nicola_g
nicola_g uhm, good morning 12:32
a lot of people here, huh
takadonet nicola_g: always lots of ppl here, most are just quietly hacking away... 12:33
nicola_g oh i c
you may guide me a little bit about perl6?
uhm, i'm using perl5/apache 12:34
takadonet points to masak and mortiz
nicola_g but i heard that it's possible to do something like "user v6;" to code in perl6?
masak nicola_g: well, yes and no. 12:35
nicola_g how is yes, n how is no?
moritz nicola_g: perl 5+6 integration is unstable at its best
and mostly not done yet at all
masak nicola_g: if you're using Perl 5 and Apache, you probably should keep using Perl 5 and Apache. :)
nicola_g: but we're very glad you came here, and we might help you in various other ways :)
nicola_g oh, ok, so should i wait for an official release of perl6? 12:36
moritz and experiment with Perl 6 in separate scripts
nicola_g: no, forget "official releases". What counts if the software does what you want
masak nicola_g: there have been official releases of Perl 6.
moritz nginx had its 1.0 release today, but nearly half of the top russian sites were already using it
12:36 am0c left
nicola_g uhm, where do download that release? is it stable? 12:37
masak nicola_g: problem is, everybody has a different subjective definition of "official". so it doesn't really matter.
stable for some things, not for others.
you can download it from perl6.org
nicola_g i mean "officially" released by activestate or someone famous
moritz it's stable in the sense that if you don't update, your code will continue to work in future :-)
masak Rakudo star is officially released by the team developing Perl 6 on Parrot.
moritz nicola_g: github.com/rakudo/star/downloads/ 12:38
masak Niecza is officially released by Stefan O'Rear, a moderately famous entity.
nicola_g thks for the link
masak Yapsi is released by the international underground conspiracy.
of zebras.
nicola_g but i'm building my project on perl5 n afraid of having to recode this bunch of work in future 12:39
moritz nobody will force you to redo any code in Perl 6
masak nicola_g: there once was a project called Ponie.
nicola_g: have you heard about it?
nicola_g yeah but perl6 seems clearer in OOP
moritz there's no implicit upgrade path from 5 to 6
masak nicola_g: you should definitely check out Moose. 12:40
moritz nicola_g: right. But that doesn't mean it makes sense to rewrite a big codebase
nicola_g yeah
[Coke] I would continue to use perl5 for anything bigger than a breadbasket.
nicola_g but is the version from perl6.org integrateable to apache?
[Coke] (for the next short while)
masak nicola_g: it's been known to integrate with Apache, yes.
nicola_g: I would be lying if I said it was trivial.
nicola_g oh great
[Coke] Not at this time. there used to be a "mod_parrot" which made "mod_perl6" work, but it's bitrotted.
12:41 bluescreen10 joined
moritz [Coke]: there are CGI scripts :-) 12:41
[Coke] masak: is my intel old?
(I miss mod_parrot. :(
masak with November, we just hardwired things into Apache.
[Coke] hee! I misread that as "handwaved" 12:42
nicola_g any link guiding the integration of perl6 (from perl6.org) to apache?
masak [Coke]: I think we had mod_parrot or mod_perl6 working at some point, but never on the production server.
nicola_g: no, unfortunately not. the process was never really documented.
moritz finds it great that people perceive perl6.org as authorotative in some way 12:43
masak nicola_g: but it's essentially a matter of writing your Apache config files right so that it finds an executable script somewhere that starts Rakudo with the right Perl 6 script.
nicola_g oops, so i better wait for activestate's stable release huh
masak nicola_g: yes, but you'll miss a lot of great things if you wait :)
nicola_g i c, i c, like an apache module to execute a certain file extension 12:44
masak nicola_g: I would recommend downloading Rakudo Perl 6 and playing with it in your spare time.
nicola_g: it will prepare you for the great things to come.
nicola_g yeah, im trying to get familiar with the new syntax 12:45
tadzik more importantly, it's fun
moritz rakudo: say [+] 1..4
p6eval rakudo 4bf132: OUTPUT«10␤»

p6eval rakudo 4bf132: OUTPUT«10␤»

masak (webchat.freenode.net has "interesting" scrolling behaviour)
moritz masak: must be the ^m connection :-) 12:47
12:47 araujo left
nicola_g perl5 vs perl6 is like c vs c++ 12:47
masak moritz: it's happening. we're slowly merging into one single Perl 6 brain. :P
nicola_g: some people say that. I think it's more like C vs something cool :P 12:48
moritz nicola_g: not at all
nicola_g: C++ took all of C, and slapped on more stuff
masak and yet C++ is not exactly compatible...
moritz nicola_g: Perl 6 took only ideas from Perl 5, otherwise it's a complete redesign
ok, *nearly* all of C 12:49
nicola_g i like the feature "everything is a reference"
masak yes, it tends to simplify things.
not as many ->
nicola_g but using the "." is a little bit inverted in comparison to c++ or php 12:50
moritz it's more like in java or ruby or python 12:51
nicola_g ppl usually know that "->" is for reference and "." is for an object
12:51 araujo joined

I used to think BDD was really a stupid re-branding of TDD, but now I suddenly see the use of it.
moritz adjusts masaks base mode 13:31
masak makes a bunch of weemy radio noises
PerlJam masak: So what have you learning about BDD that's useful?
masak let me try to put it into words. 13:32
[Coke] bdd?
masak I'll definitely talk more about it on Friday-or-whenever.
PerlJam [Coke]: behavior driven development
13:32 donri joined
masak [Coke]: the original idea being to structure things into given-when-then segments. 13:32
[Coke]: and then making your customer/domain expert write the bdd tests. or at least evolving them together with the customer. 13:33
[Coke]: what I had seen so far was mostly Ruby going overboard with brittle language parsing for their BDD tests.
which, frankly, wasn't very impressive. 13:34
PerlJam: I think the use comes out of doing this on top of a model that deals in Command and Event objects.
PerlJam masak: There's also the problem of developers losing sight of what they're really testing. The further away from the code they get the crazier they seem to become :) 13:35
masak PerlJam: suddenly the return types become: List<Event> Given -- Command When -- void all_the_different_then_methods
PerlJam: that's another nice thing about this course. the speaker is more than slightly anti-framework.
PerlJam masak: wish I coudl be there then. The only treatments of the subject I've seen invovle cucumber fanatics and such. 13:36
masak we've spent the afternoons so far actually coding in different ways.
yesterday I wrote Perl 6 code on the course! :)
moritz PerlJam: then attend masak's mini online course (see backlog for a doodle link) 13:37
masak PerlJam: after seeing this, cucumber looks like a tragic shadow of what BDD could be.
PerlJam: www.doodle.com/g6vsp3h3rs5cnk2v
moritz++ # for reminding me
yes, come to the mini course. you don't have to sign up, but you get to help pick the date and time.
I'm so happy about what I'm learning here, and it's so widely applicable, that I want to pass it on. 13:38
moritz my reaction to that is "is there a good book about it?"
13:39 sftp joined
moritz and if yes, "when can I win my next EUR 100 amazon voucher?" :-) (j/k) 13:39
masak :P 13:41
moritz: there are books that prepare for this course.
we've gotten a few book recommendations. I plan to turn them into an Amazon wishlist today or tomorrow.
then I can post the url here.
moritz remembers where he read about similar concepts 13:42
bertran meyer, "object-oriented software construction"
who basically says that mutators shouldn't return anything 13:43
that was the book that really made me understand OO
masak that book is one of the four on the list.
the concept is called CQS. 13:44
Command-Query Separation.
I used the terms a little in reviewing the p6cc entries.
moritz I read some of the draft chapters for the 3rd edition, iirc
masak this book is the important DDD book: www.amazon.com/Domain-Driven-Design...0321125215
moritz and read the entire previous edition, or something
masak apparently, it's the 2nd edition that's good. 13:45
3rd is too bloated.

masak if English is as unusable as these people claim, how come it's increasingly ubiquitous?
it's like they think they can topple the language by pointing out its obvious flaws.
mberends masak: I do not consciously have a linguistic agenda. My partial grasp of French, Latin and German convince me that English and Dutch are have too many ugly awkward bits. English is popular for the same reason that Microsoft Office is popular.. 18:30
masak mberends: I've yet to find a working spoken langauge without ugly bits.
mberends: the world is a messy place. languages tend to inherit that. 18:31
mberends masak: :-) 18:32
masak I find English, like Windows, gets much of the flak *because* it's used for so many things, including some things it was never very good at.
mberends aye, it's the least worst option in many cases 18:33
masak that said, I would definitely recommend to [Coke] and anyone else to try on a different language. it opens up new vistas in the brain. 18:34

PerlJam especially if the language is radically different from your own in some way. 18:38
arabic - written RTL insteadof LTR
chinese - tone matters more than usual in english when speaking :) 18:39
masak well yes. tone is part of the word, not the sentence. :)
I'm still amazed how Chinese people manage to put in both tones for the words and a sentence melody. 18:40
moritz or doesn't have tenses, or doesn't have cases, or doesn't have .... you name it :-)
masak and the waterbed theory definitely holds there.
you can count on, if a language doesn't have tenses, it has something else instead. 18:41
case endings are often interchangeable with prepositions.
PerlJam As a westerner, I have trouble unstanding (in a big-picture sort of way) many eastern languages. The cadences are all wrong, the intonation is weird, etc. 18:42
masak PerlJam: my Russian teacher told me of how she got a lot of angry looks in the subway asking "is this your stop?". turns out she hadn't mastered the melody and what she said sounded like a statement, not a question. 18:43
PerlJam Japanese makes some sense but only after it had been explained to me by a spanish-speaking person who related it through spanish sounds. (I don't really understand much spanich, but it's a language I have some handle on :) 18:45

mberends ashleydev: the reference to Perl 6 in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindley-Milner#algorithm is only speculation. A more believable expectation is 6guts.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/grad...alization/ which is on the Rakudo or 6model roadmap but Not Yet Implemented. 23:44
ashleydev: there is sure to be more work to be done on the design because the implementations are not done yet, and we never freeze any aspect of the design until there is consensus from several implementations. 23:51
Integrating the processor's native types is currently beginning to cross the designers' minds, for example speculating whether to expose the number of bits in a native int came up most recently, and making or accessing native structs is an unsolved problem.
