miso2217_ morning all 06:39
Is there a Data::Dumper stype .perl (with indentation for huge data structures) for perl6? 06:40
TimToady there is a .pretty method specced, but I don't think it's implemented yet 06:47
06:56 dayangkun_ left 06:57 dayangkun_ joined 06:58 araujo left
sorear we're not quite sure how it should best work 06:59

sorear miso2217_: there are just a lot of decisions to make, and Perl 6 hackers are by their nature perfectionists 07:21
07:42 dayangkun_ joined 07:43 daxim joined 07:44 dayangkun__ left
miso2217_ sorear: I would personally be quite happy to use .perl whith a few tabs and newlines. Is the discussion on the .pretty issues available somewhere? (irc logs?). Perfectionism is good, a less than perfect .pretty is better than none at all I think. 07:49

mberends miso2217_: irclog.perlgeek.de/search.pl?channe...;q=.pretty # you can also search for other keywords ;-) 08:08
afair .perl whether pretty or not is unable to deconstruct all possible data back to the perl6 code that could reconstruct it. There are so many difficult corner cases. 08:12

mberends some perfectionists believe that the ... above should rather be the source code of the pointy sub, but implementing that is either hard or impossible. 08:22
tadzik sounds possible to me. Isn't that quite similar to .WHY?
So we include the original source code with every object in the code 08:23
like .orig in Match
not that I like the idea
08:24 birdwindupbird joined, masak joined
masak salutations, #perl6. 08:24
tadzik hello masak
masak first day in quite a while with some time available for Perl 6. :) 08:25
masak pulls and builds 08:26
tadzik tbh, I'd like to see a sub with a signature, but the source code? Meh
mberends \o/
miso2217_ mberends: And what says the spec on that?
masak tadzik: I'm quite neutral on "seeing the source code", but I'd definitely like to access it, if need be. 08:27
mberends miso2217_: dunno, you read it and tell me please
masak tadzik: the Ruby people seem to get quite a bit of mileage out of analyzing source code as ASTs. 08:28
mberends shopping(nom) & 08:29
miso2217_ mberends: ok I'll look at this
tadzik masak: well, I don't quite like the idea to be honest
08:30 birdwindupbird left
miso2217_ the spec says .pretty is just a .perl with formatting, the .pretty method doesn't seem to have any aditionnal features compared to .perl 08:36
tadzik `makes sense 08:37
08:38 dayangkun joined
miso2217_ to me as well 08:38
how difficult would it be to try some rakudo hacking on the implementation of the .pretty method? 08:39
08:40 dayangkun__ left
tadzik not :) 08:41
we just need some manpower I suppose
tuned .perl for arrays and hashes alone would be quite .pretty I think 08:42
miso2217_ There was a doc on implementing new methods for rakudo in perl6, I just cann't remember where, any ideas? 08:43
tadzik moritz blog I suppose
miso2217_ tadzik: exactly what I think, I'm using .perl to dump moderatly complex data structures and it quickly becomes useless because of the lack of readability 08:44
tadzik it's basically use MONKEY_TYPING and augment class someclass {}
miso2217_: I know that feeling
rakudo: use MONKEY_TYPING; augment class Array { method perl { "foobar" } }; [1,2,3].perl.say 08:45
p6eval rakudo 5ac05e: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤A method named 'perl' already exists in class 'Array'. It may have been supplied by a role.␤»

p6eval rakudo 5ac05e: OUTPUT«[1, 2, 3]␤»
miso2217_ shouldn't the role by applied on the Array type instead of the instance?
tadzik wonders why the augment example actually doesn't work 08:48
miso2217_ s/by/be/
tadzik miso2217_: yeah, should
hmmm 08:49
miso2217_ strange 08:50
I'll play with it later, o/

masak $ touch Foo.pm 10:01
$ perl6
> use Foo
_block110
> use Foo
P
> ^C 10:02
I'd consider the above a bug if I understood it better.
so let's start at the top. what piece of code is '_block110' here?
should it really be returned? what's the use case?
and what in the world does "P" mean? 10:03
tadzik masak: consider ^D instead of ^C :)
masak thanks :P
I usually do ^D, but I just wanted to get out of the REPL this time... :)
anyway, unless there are acausal things involved, that shouldn't matter for the above questions. 10:04
tadzik sure
for me it could just return Bool::True 10:05

masak some of you may remember my little experiment Index::Multidim: gist.github.com/892178 10:19
I plan to rewrite it to reach a bit further.
in short, I'm too eager for S09 features to actually sit around and wait for them ;)
the reason I'm bringing it up here is that I'd like to bounce around a few design decisions. 10:20
frettled Ah, the good old bouncy-bouncy.
masak notable, the whole API thing.
I'd like a natural syntax for calling into Index::Multidim. that's really the most important part.
you'll note that I currently use an infix:<@@> operator and pass in a string. 10:21
in retrospect, I think both of these decisions might've been wrong :)
frettled If not outright ugly. :) 10:22
masak even that.
the nice thing with passing in a string is that the string will look exactly like the S09 syntax. 10:23
frettled yup
That's what made it an acceptable hack in my book.
masak the trouble with passing in a string is that it gets increasingly tricky to parse that string as we pile on features.
variable interpolation. ranges. combinations of these features.
frettled and if someone throws in a string in there… 10:24
masak right. it starts degrading pretty quickly.
now, as to alternatives to that:
I found out that I could declare an infix:<;> operator, and then use that within an actual [] array constructor. 10:25
I think that has real potential. because then I could pass in actual ranges, actual variables, actual whatevers, and so on.
but!
frettled Hmm.
masak I think in today's Rakudo, I'm fairly limited in setting the precedence of infix:<;>. 10:26
is that correct?
frettled *crickets*
masak rakudo: class Semi { has $.lhs; has $.rhs }; our sub infix:<;>($lhs, $rhs) { Semi.new(:$lhs, :$rhs) }; say [1,2;3,4,5;6].perl 10:27
p6eval rakudo 5ac05e: OUTPUT«[1, Semi.new(lhs => 2, rhs => 3), 4, Semi.new(lhs => 5, rhs => 6)]␤»
masak that's not what I want. 10:28
infix:<;> gets a tighter precedence than infix:<,>.
frettled Oh bugger...
masak now, I don't think that's a showstopper.
if nothing else, I think I can post-process that Array to get out what it should've been! :) 10:29
frettled Yep, that's pretty much it for your neat solution.
masak please shudder in unison.
frettled shudders in unison.
masak ;)
I'll have lunch, and then write such a post-processor.
in the meantime, if anyone knows of a better way, feel free to speak up. 10:30
frettled I'll go for a bike ride, and will probably be idle for a looong time again. :D
frettled thinks masak is on a right-ish track, at least.
masak frettled: it was nice bouncing with you.
frettled masak: nice bouncing with you too! :D
masak :D

10:49 envi joined
tadzik is that the S09 syntax? 10:49
masak no, there's an extra '.multi' there.
and this is without the semicolons, so far.
but it shows that it's possible to wire up.
rakudo: class Multiproxy { has $.target; method postcircumfix:<[ ]>($x) { say "Doing multidim on $.target.WHICH() with $x.perl()!" } }; role Multidim { method multi { return Multiproxy.new(:target(self)) } }; my @a does Multidim; @a.multi[1,2] 10:50
p6eval rakudo 5ac05e: OUTPUT«Doing multidim on 55283216 with (1, 2)!␤»
masak I like that a lot.
moritz without semicolon you'll just have troubles mixing slices and multi dim
masak yes, but see above. I think I can simulate the real behaviour of the semicolon.
define infix:<;> as building a Semi object, and then post-translate from Semi to LolSlice. 10:51
tadzik lolisliced!
masak man, I love the power of ASTs.
that's really a blog post all on its own.
the post-translation will take [1, Semi.new(:lhs(2), :rhs(3)), 4, :lhs(5), :rhs(6))] and turn it into [LolSlice.new([1, 2]), LolSlice.new([3, 4, 5]), LolSlice.new([6])] 10:56

masak AdamGallagher_: I think the MMORPG idea is cool. I'm wondering if Perl 6 is ready for it yet, though. 13:43
AdamGallagher_: two things: first, the graphics part. I haven't seen a connection to any graphics library that would help you build such a game. second, the real-time part. I think you might find Rakudo's performance... wanting. 13:44
I say this not to discourage you, but to let you know what the limitations are right now.
AdamGallagher_ Yeah, I suppose so. The engine has not been chosen yet, and I've just been nailing out the basic tiles/sprites for the project, so the language is flexible. 13:46
masak maybe Niecza would be a viable target.
sorear might know more about which graphics libs are accesible from Niecza on Mono or the CLR. 13:47
AdamGallagher_: I know pygame is generally well-liked as a game library: www.pygame.org/news.html 13:49
tadzik pygame is just SDL bindings, isn't it?

14:34 mj41 left
tadzik instead of thinking "how do I make this work" I think "I'll write a test for it, let's see what will happen" 14:34
masak same here. 14:36
jnthn masak: Is Index::Multidim related to S09?
masak yes.
moritz finds the lingual proximity of "terrible" and "terrific" curious 14:37
jnthn yay :)
masak it gives us some of the goodness from S09 using an external library.
moritz: both used to mean "frightening".
jnthn masak: Anything that could eventually make it into core Rakudo?
geekosaur moritz: IIRC they are related in much the way "awe" and "awful" are 14:38
masak jnthn: I'm not aiming for that, but I wouldn't rule it out either.
jnthn moritz: You can use "terribly good" to mean "really really good" :)
moritz geekosaur: that was the second connection I thought of :-)
masak it's just a process by which negative words enter slang and become positive words.
jnthn Aye. The "terribly good" thing appears in Slovak too. I was a little surprised to see the idiom pop up in a literally translatable way. :) 14:39
masak in the book "Rainbows end", which takes place ~30 years into our future, the word "tragic" has become slang and means "cool, awesome". :)
tadzik :) 14:40
jnthn A school teacher friend in the UK says that some of her pupils are now starting to use the word "sick" to mean "awesome".
For my generation it decidedly means disgusting. :)
geekosaur that's several years old in the US
moritz that probably takes some time to get used to :-)
jnthn geekosaur: Gah, why'd it have to cross the atlantic... :P 14:41
geekosaur it's some corollary of bad news traveling faster than good, I think 14:42
:)
tadzik that's because humans are interested in sad things, at least some of them 14:43
news are full of death, sadness and hate. I think there is a Day of Good News in Poland, in which TV stations at least try to broadcast happy things
masak I think positive words become worn out, and negative words take their place because they evoke some emotion. and people who are hip don't mind that they mean the opposite of what they want to express. 14:45
"wow, that is so disturbed! kudos!"
geekosaur that's some of it. there's also some amount of the younger generation wanting to shock or at least confuse the older 14:46
tadzik words of the wise, indeed
true too
masak all tests pass. oh, what joy. 14:50
jnthn Time to write more tests.

jnthn So, where had I got to with nqp/ctmo...
tadzik "all tests pass for me too!"
oh so it's hackathon time? 14:53

moritz like, 4 minutes ago
tadzik moritz: please don't
moritz which one?
tadzik if they keep asking, then we probably need to announce it wide and open
more wide and more open, if needed. And reply to the email with the link 15:07
then put it in some FAQ, and then we can dance macarena and laugh everytime someone asks that
so far, I can understand their worries
15:07 icwiener left
tadzik so, who wants to blog about this? :) 15:08
masak moritz: it's natural of people becoming more involved asking questions like these. think of it as an initiation rite.
moritz: and the answers we give are usually so warped by our echo chamber that they don't really make it across. so people keep asking. 15:09
tadzik like with "when will perl6 be complete, and how soon is that" 15:10
moritz ok, I've written a reply, against better judgement 15:11
tadzik given the api change, as in repo-url => source-url in META.info, how should things like this be announced? Make a module installer complain about this? It's stupid, not every user is a module developer 15:13

TimToady the synopses define packages more by what they don't do (anymore) than by what they do do... 15:36
jnthn aye 15:37
Things are...very lexical :)
tadzik ISTR a discussion about what do we actually need packages for
TimToady except when they're MOPy
tadzik when a package can't just be a module?
jnthn TimToady: I'm still pondering that a particular compilation unit's view of GLOBAL (maybe to be merged into the loading unit's one) lives in UNIT::GLOBAL
TimToady you can still register packages as failovers via CANDO
you can still use packages to make variables globally visible 15:38
jnthn TimToady: I don't see the spec saying it can be, but I don't see anything saying I can't do it that way either. :)
And it makes loading quite sane
I mean, it needs the UNIT of the module being loaded anyway, to find EXPORT
TimToady well, the peculiar view has to have some name or other; I think STD used GLOBALish, but it's certainly negotiable 15:39
jnthn Really the unit's view of GLOBAL wants to be accessible the same way, imo.
15:39 gdey joined
TimToady the question is whether our GLOBAL unification ends up looking more like mixin/shadowing or composing/unification 15:39
jnthn Hmm, I guess calling it GLOBAL is confusing 'cus it's not really what GLOBAL::Foo::Bar would map to
As that has to map to the final merged view, otherwise it's not very, well, global. :) 15:40

that's why I called it GLOBALish

ncow hi. I'm attempting to compile rakudo star 2011.01 (is that really the version number?), I started it at around 22:00 before going to bed, it's now 09:05 and 'make' is still running. 16:05
How long does it take to build this, good grief
TimToady how much memory do you have? 16:06
you're probably thrashing
ncow Perl 5 takes under 10 min on this machine, Perl 6 really needs to take 10+ hours (11 so far) ?
this machine has about 256, and 2 GB in swap 16:07
TimToady the threshold for thrashing is a well known discontinuity in computer performance
and rakudo has a big file to compile
ncow yeah it is thrashing, but the system is still responsive
TimToady responsiveness will usually depend on whether you're trying to do something disk-bound 16:08
CPU is idle mostly
ncow TimToady: granted, but perhaps maybe the devs will realize this may not be the best way to build a programming language compiler
TimToady there are tradeoffs... 16:09
ncow I mean this takes more than twice as long as building a modern gcc
moritz ncow: we're working on reducing the memory footprint during compilation and runtime. But it's not an easy task.
jnthn The devs understand the issue fairly well, and care about it, but have to care about dozens of other things too. :)
moritz well, C is a simple language in comparison to Perl 6
ncow (I think last time I build gcc on this box it took maybe 2 hours, or less
jnthn Anyway, memory usage improvements for AST nodes and match objects are in the works already. 16:10
ncow jnthn: I get that, it just seems like a bad move over all to have designed it in this way at all. OH well
jnthn And those are the big cost for the compilation.
ncow: Designed what in what way, specifically?
moritz ncow: we didn't design rakudo with the goal of consuming large amounts of memory during compilation :-) 16:11
we just decided to focus on features first, and resource usage second
which seems to have worked out pretty well, considering the community we built around it
TimToady and as a temporary workaround, adding memory works pretty well :) 16:12
jnthn The answer isn't really to try and find weird ways to break a single lexical scope over a bunch of files and then try and pretend it's one scope. It's to make compiling something of the size of core.pm not consume crazy resources.
tadzik ncow: it takes about 5-10 minutes on my 2 GB machine, so it's not exactly how you think 16:13
ncow I guess what I mean is, I don't really understand why it isn't a straight up C source package like Perl 5 is (for example)
TimToady it depends on how you want your interpreter loop to look too; my impression is that core.pm compiles all together so that it can "goto" from one instruction to another "efficiently", for some definition of both of those 16:14
moritz there are several reasons
ncow tadzik: I'd by lying if I said this box had the newest hardware, but I'm just comparing this to the realive ease it has in building Perl 5 and other source packages
TimToady Perl 5 is not trying to do nearly as much as Perl 6 is
moritz 1) there's an impedance mismatch between rakudo and parrot, for which we pay with increased resource usage
jnthn Trying to build a Perl 6 compiler entirely in C is FAR harder than a Perl 5 one, in my view. 16:15
moritz 2) Perl 6 needs a much more elaborate runtime environment than p5 or C
16:15 leprevost left
moritz 3) even the Perl 5 developers acknowledge that perl5 is not the easiest project to hack on. The efficiency comes at a great price: decreased hackability 16:16
we chose not to pay that price up-front
TimToady 4) Perl 6 is not written in fiddly C like P5 is, but in a higher level language (Perl 6 itself, eventually)
or maybe that's the same as 3
moritz there's certainly a connection 16:17
tadzik ncow: I understand 16:18
ncow: don't get me wrong, I'm not happy with it either
ncow TimToady: ok but that sounds like a chick-and-egg scenario: "It's written in Perl 6, but if you don't already have Perl 6, how are you going to build Perl 6, but if you already have Perl 6, then why do you need to build Perl 6?!"
moritz ncow: GCC is also written in C
ncow: you could ask the exact same question about C 16:19
ncow no I know it's not exactly that, but it does seem clearing with C sources. I'm not sure how it actually is with Perl 6 (I think it's using Perl 5 for the initial build, as it runs Configure.PL)
tadzik and about coffee
to know why do you need coffee, you need coffee
ncow moritz: thats' becuase you usually build gcc with another intance of gcc or other C compiler
moritz is not coffee-bootstrapped
TimToady ncow: but the nice thing about bootstrapping in Perl 6 is that whenever Perl 6 gets faster, our compiler gets faster too 16:20
moritz ncow: but why do you do it, if you already have a C compiler?
ncow I've build full tool-chains, and you always start with a host system that has one already
TimToady (rakudo is not really bootstrapped yet, though niecza is)
ncow s/build/built/
TimToady (for the most part)
ncow TimToady: true
niecza? Sounds central/eastern european (polosh, czec, russian?) 16:21
TimToady eventually we'd like Perl 6 to replace a lot of programming that currently has to be done in C or C++

That's the Real Meaning of Postmodernism, or an approximation to it. :) 16:34
masak ncow: hi. nice meeting you. 16:36
ncow: don't think we're blind to the fact that Rakudo is slow and memory-hungry. quite the opposite.
ncow: and we want it to improve as well. but in practice, the skills to actually do that sit with a small number of people whose time is very limited. 16:37
TimToady we could do it a little faster if someone would give us a billion dollars, but then people would fight more...
masak I think we might as well adopt the "skunkworks project" moniker and run with it... 16:38
not that I'd object to someone donating a billion dollars to the Perl 6 effort. 16:39
TimToady when people invest more they usually expect more ROI
but more investment of time and money will come naturally as we asymptotically approach world domination 16:40

TimToady I think of it more in surfer terms; you have to catch the wave as it builds up, neither too soon nor too late. 16:43

tadzik masak: note how it's Acme::Meow. Now look at modules.perl6.org, and glue the changes with the new ecosystem
masak tadzik: ah. 18:18
tadzik basically: modules.perl6.org is now META.info compatibile
masak \o/
tadzik: let me just say that I admire the work that you're doing with the ecosystem. tadzik++ 18:19
moritz tadzik: nice
tadzik thank you masak :)
moritz: is build_projects_list.pl ran with this fancy env variable currently?
moritz: and, any againsts about me pushing this, merging my ecosystem fork with perl6/ecosystem and fulfill the destiny? :) 18:20
* fulfilling
moritz perl build-project-list.pl /var/www/modules.perl6.org/ 2>&1 >>~/update-mp6.log
is the call
tadzik: go right ahead
tadzik I'm quite sure you need PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME=0 perl build-project-list.pl 18:21
or maybe not, look in the logs
it didn't work for me at least
moritz BEGIN { $ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0 } should do
tadzik w/o BEGIN it worked only for the 1st get() in here 18:22

moritz masak: about the Class/Teacher/Student example yesterday... I'm still not convinced if the separation you suggested is beneficial 18:35
masak: because in the end, you still needs reports of who attends or teaches which class
so there needs to be some amount of coupling anyway - when you try to reduce it, you introduce other complexity (waterbed theory et al) 18:36
18:36 justatheory left
masak moritz: I must confess that the rationales behind aggregates still confuse me. 18:37
I expect to have to go through a cycle of trying them out and failing a bit before really grokking them. 18:38
moritz masak: one more thing... in the shopping cart example, you mentioned that the cart ID is the only reference in a shopping cart item 18:39
masak: but what about a reference to product description/price etc.?
masak moritz: short answer: if that's important in the shopping cart (and it likely is in this case), copy it over. 18:40
moritz: that's what we did with Student-Schedule-Enrollment in the third image.
and it's just a more extreme form of denormalization. 18:41
moritz well, of course it's important, otherwise we wouldn't know what to ship and bill :-)
masak there's a principle behind all this madness: "Tell, don't ask" 18:42
we're making the Cart more independent of Products.
and things like Enrollment are called "transaction objects" or "time interval objects". 18:43

jnthn and I just set Friday as a full-day hackathon for trying out CQRS and Event Sourcing.
we could easily inhabit #cqrs-perl6 while doing that, and share our insights along the way. 18:49
we're building a next-generation real-time connection game server. :)
tadzik wow :)
jnthn \o/ 18:50
masak: How many gallons of beer will this need? ;)
masak (Druid is a connection game. Hex, Y, and Gonnect are a few others. they're my favourite kind of games.)

masak sorear: it's #cqrs-perl6, and I can't answer that for you :) 18:59
been fairly quiet there today.
PerlJam I don't really "get" cqrs, but it seems that one of the big ideas is to have a user-centric API rather than a programmer-centric one. 19:01
s/rather than/in addition to/ perhaps
masak yes, it usually starts in the task-based interface. 19:03
Greg Young likes to point out that you can't really do DDD on the traditional server/client model, where only DTOs are sent back and forth. 19:04
because DDD cares more about the domain model than the CRUD mould allows.
arnsholt jnthn: Same thing happens to me (every damn time, just about) and I'm a native! >.< 19:07
PerlJam masak: and another big idea is .... laziness :)
masak yes. under the name of "eventual consistency". 19:08
19:08 drbean left
masak but the term "consistency" shouldn't be discussed with clients. it's better to frame things in terms of time, and say that the data is "stale" or "old". 19:09

frettled The answer in Japanese is rather friendly, though, if we can believe Google translate: «Matsumoto, hello. This is Nate. Google Translator is a incompetent, is vulgar. (Laughs) Be sure to email me directly. Not. You can write in Japanese. I will help you.»

masak it's like ra-i-ain on your wedding da-y-y-y. 20:26
SORRY!!!!!
jnthn Yes, alanis... :P 20:27
masak a little too ironic. don't you think?
frettled Ironic, ironic, I want your &s all over my <BODY>. 20:28
masak anyway, I think the take-home message here is "the wind, pole, and dragon".
frettled masak: not to forget that if you lack skill with the goat-time, you should get help.
masak frettled: I initially read that as "I want your ampersands all over my body"... :) 20:29
jnthn I read it as a reference to the sub s...
moritz geek erotic? :-)
masak frettled: true. lacking skill with the goat-time would be an insult to father's stones.
frettled And we don't want that, do we? 20:31

tadzik dukeleto: no Plumage connection, yet I plan to look into "how plumage handles stuff" and analyze for the possible ideas exchange 20:39
dukeleto tadzik: yes, lots of thought went into plumage, and it would be nice if plumage and pies knew enough about each other to not stomp on each other and hopefully, work well together 20:41
tadzik dukeleto: I have a feeling that Plumage should be possible to be implemented as a Pies implementation. If not, then Pies is probably not good enough
dukeleto tadzik: sounds like -Ofun to me
tadzik Plumage in nqp, right?
dukeleto tadzik: yep 20:42
tadzik: the newer flavor of nqp :)
