moritz agress with rakudo and jnthn too btw 09:36
woosley: it doesn't require it in that case, but there are a lot of other cases where there might be an ambiguty

pmurias CL-vimlike being vim in commmon lisp? 10:33
arnsholt Something like that, yeah
10:33 MayDaniel left
arnsholt It's not exactly a fully thought-out idea, but a vim (or similar) programmable in a less insane language would be cool 10:34

I don't hallucinate, I get angry instead
Moukeddar lol 13:39
and you pull your hair
mathw Although I may have had a minor hallucination earlier when I thought my code actually worked
pmichaud I'm frequently on carbonic acid -- does that count?
moritz mathw: sulphuric asid would have the same effect - like acid :-)
*acid
Moukeddar hate the java JAR thingy
mathw Moukeddar: I can't pull my hair at the moment, I had it neatened up for a wedding and there's not enough of it to grip :(
13:39 JimmyZ_ joined
mathw Moukeddar: I hate a lot of things about Java. I'm well-known among my colleagues for it. Still have to do the occasional bit of Java coding though. 13:40
Moukeddar hehe
occasional
i delivered my java homework in C#
and the teacher laughed his ars out 13:41
mathw That's a strange kind of Java homework
C# is preferable to Java though
Moukeddar i love C#
mathw I can tolerate it
It's got some nice bits
Moukeddar exactly
you code with style
jnthn I much prefer C# to Java. You can actually do higher order programming... :)
Moukeddar especially with LINQ :)
mathw yeah that's what I like about it
anonymous delegates
Moukeddar anonymous types 13:42
mathw wonderful, wonderful things to have around
jnthn Well, and actual syntax for lambdas.
mathw especially in a multithreaded program
Moukeddar i'm in love
mathw heh I've never used lambda syntax
last time I used C# it was 2.0
Moukeddar it's sweet
for fast functions :)
mathw but it's just sugar for anonymous delegates as I understand it
Moukeddar C# 2.0 didn't have lambda
mathw so functionality-wise I had the same stuff
Moukeddar i'm thinking about learning F# i heard good things about it 13:43
it's like a Perl for .NET
:)
13:43 hanekomu joined
pmichaud remembers when PerlJam++ turned in his COBOL assignments written in Perl :-) 13:44
Moukeddar lol 13:45
so you do it too ?
PerlJam They still teach COBOL too. 13:46
Moukeddar holy moly
really ?
pmichaud I didn't realize that. :-)
Moukeddar here they still do pascal :)
PerlJam pmichaud: Had a talk with one of my student workers about it just the other day. Binkerd is still teaching it even! 13:47
pmichaud well, I would expect it to be Binkerd or Busch, yes. :-)
PerlJam I don't think it's part of the core curriculum anymore though 13:48
Moukeddar dinosaurs :)
pmichaud they probably offer it for the CIS majors
moritz is that like C minor or something? :-) 13:49
colomon More like B major. :p 13:50
Moukeddar lol
pmichaud colomon++
Moukeddar damn it i'll have an exam in 16 subject in 8 weeks :p 13:51
13:53 mtk left
sorear good * #perl6 13:57
mathw well people still need to maintain COBOL code
so I suppose we need at least a trickle of new COBOL programmers
F# does look quite interesting, since it's a possible sign of functional paradigms getting more mainstream 13:58
13:58 mtk joined
mathw it's still not Haskell though 13:58
sorear well we need new programmers
any programmer who can't learn a new language on the job isn't worthy of the name 13:59
Moukeddar mathw, hipsters won't be happy about it :p
sorear, what if he was a student :p 14:00
?
mathw students should be learning new languages on a regular basis anyway 14:01
I always thought it was wrong that my uni had Prolog and C++ modules but they weren't compulsory
Moukeddar i find it easy to learn new stuff 14:02
programmer have different mind workflow :)
for example when i see a game or a science fiction UI
moritz mathw: making thing compulsory isn't a solution most of the time
Moukeddar all i think of is : how did they achieve that :)
PerlJam learning a language isn't so important as learning the "big concepts" that a language makes use of. 14:03
mathw moritz: I suppose not, you have to teach people why it's important too or you just get a repetition of my Functional Programming module
moritz mathw: aye. Some comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of the different paradigms might be good teaching material
Moukeddar PerlJam, that's it :) 14:04
mathw moritz: Oh, that was included, they just didn't pay attention
moritz mathw: but that would require that the teachers be well-versed in all major paradigms :-)
mathw: IME that's not always the case
mathw I think someone must've already fed most of them the Java propaganda at that point
14:04 mfollett joined, mfollett left
mathw the FP lecturer was of course well-versed in what strengths and weaknesses functional has over broken OOP 14:05
Moukeddar broken oop ?
mathw yes, the kind Java does :)
Moukeddar lol
how about C#'s
?
mathw that's also kind of broken IMO
moritz much less horrible though 14:06
pmichaud PerlJam: I disagree somewhat. I think it's important to learn at least one language very well, and _then_ look a bit more at the bigger concepts.
moritz Eiffel has quite a nice object model
pity it makes it hard to do easy things
PerlJam pmichaud: Aye, I really meant to say "learning a _new_ language" with the presumption that you know at least one
Moukeddar i'll stick with C#
and mess with perl :) 14:07
mathw There are definite advantages to knowing one language really really well
in that you can actually be very productive in it and be very useful 14:08
Moukeddar gtg
later guys
PerlJam mathw: especially if that language is Perl ;)
14:08 Moukeddar left
mathw PerlJam: not around here unfortunately - you have to be a C++ or Java expert 14:08
moritz mathw: it's also a trap. It makes it easy to say "he, I know $lang so well that it will take me far too long to learn $other_lang to the same level", and stop learning other language 14:09
mathw yes, one should ideally also be reasonably capable of using other languages 14:10
although I wouldn't expect anybody to know the libraries of more than one or two languages inside-out

sorear mberends: LHF, but less than it sounds - <xor> shortcircuits, so it has to be a macro, which means modifying the compiler since BEGIN isn't available for real macros 16:43
mberends sorear: does shortcircuit definitely imply macro? 16:44
mikemol I do not. 16:45
tadzik seen shortcircuit 16:46
aloha shortcircuit was last seen in #perl6 15 days 13 hours ago joining the channel.

isBEKaml mberends: You still use a makefile for compiling java classes? Ant? :O 17:03
mberends isBEKaml: I chose make because on average, it requires newbies to install fewer external dependencies. I'm quite keen to reduce toolchain requirements to the absolute minimum, because I have often felt the pain of barriers to entry. 17:05
isBEKaml mberends: I vaguely remember discussing this with you when 6model was nascent.
mberends If I could replace make with a cute bash script I would be even happier. 17:06
jnthn oh no, not a bash script...
At least I can build with the makefile. :) 17:07
isBEKaml mberends: not a problem at all, we can simply add ant.jar and wrap this into a shell script. :)
or a batch file.

ant is under ASF license. So, I think there should be no problem distributing the binary along with the project(though I'd prefer keeping the binary jars out of the codebase, using dependency management tools instead) 17:09

masak anyone else using private gists as a sort of Google Docs? :)

masak sorear: no... here in CET, we're one hour removed in the winters, and two in the summers. :( 17:44
isBEKaml jnthn: there are no empty files in runtime but classes dir in compiler is empty.
jnthn OK

jnthn: nice. 6model-wtop? :) 17:52
jnthn isBEKaml: That's valid Perl 6 but not valid NQP, which is a Perl 6 subset. :)
isBEKaml jnthn: yessir. that's what I figured when I said it complained. :)
jnthn oh, now I see that :) 17:53
Sorry :)
I don't know that a great deal works on the JVM version of NQP just yet. make test probably gives some indication.
isBEKaml Oh, I'm just poking around. :) 17:54
Do you know where I can find nqp examples in the parrot dir?
jnthn t :) 17:55
isBEKaml found it. though not sure if they are runnable.
jnthn: ah! 17:57

Parrot just ships PIR files that are built from stuff in the NQP repo.

jnthn isBEKaml: Yes, that's the end goal. 18:24
isBEKaml: The Java (and C#) was just a stepping stone. Java not having goto made it a...less than awesome...stepping stone.
18:25 lichtkind joined, kjeldahl joined
isBEKaml jnthn: goto ? err... 18:25
jnthn: if you're talking about the infamous goto - yes, java doesn't have it. but the jvm has a form of goto. 18:26
jnthn: goto, invoke* kind of instructions are part of the jvm bytecode instruction set. 18:27
masak after lerning the switch trick, I don't see any language's lack of goto as a limitation any more.
isBEKaml masak: you've just started. :)
sorear lack of goto is a major annoyance 18:28
18:28 cggoebel left
jnthn isBEKaml: Yes, I know the JVM has it. But generating Java means it's not available. 18:28
masak: Patches welcome ;)
sorear it of course doesn't actually limit power
masak right.
I agree it makes some easy things harder than they could be.
isBEKaml masak: switch + some form of typechecking leads to delegates. :) 18:29
masak but, case in point. PGE used lots of gotos in the code it generated. GGE generates goto-less Perl 6 with the same semantics.
isBEKaml: yes, I realized that the other day. you're fast!
(in the context of replacing gotos, I mean.)
isBEKaml masak: nah, I just have been at it for longer than I should. :)
masak if I had to do it again (and I just might do that), I'd use method dispatch rather than given/when. 18:30
18:30 fhelmberger left
isBEKaml method dispatch in java? visitors, i guess. 18:31
18:31 justatheory left 18:32 cggoebel joined
isBEKaml jnthn: in the context of gotos in the jvm, they are not actual goto instructions. The instructions are just jumping about in the sand castle. 18:33

18:34 saaki left

18:35 risou left 18:36 saaki joined
isBEKaml masak: I was referring to the sandboxed portion. They are not actual code as far as the jvm stack is concerned. 18:36
more specifically, goto in other languages != goto in the jvm. 18:37
tadzik: lemme guess, you ran 3! :) 18:38
tadzik isBEKaml: 2 :)
masak: ran the other 2
s/://
isBEKaml ufo ? :) 18:39
tadzik that's not a manager
if we count the build systems, then I know about 7, and then 3 are mine :)
masak Perl 6 "getting a new package manager every month" is good PR in my book :) 18:40
that means we have packages.
tadzik 96 of them actually 18:41

pmichaud (from phasers): there's a good chance I'll have some perl6 tuits in the new couple of days... if there's a specific area ripe for me to hack (especially in nqp) let me know
afk
s/new/next/
isBEKaml tadzik: I counted neutro as a build manager. 18:43
tadzik that's a package manager
it used ufo, and later Module::Build, which was a part of Module::tools, which included mbuild, which was basically a pure-perl6 ufo :) 18:44
isBEKaml ah, java world clubs both into one. :) 18:47
pyrimidine wow, that was a short #phasers
isBEKaml build manager would be tools/frontends like continuous integration systems, while there's essentially no concept of a package manager. though we do have archives [wje]ars. 18:48

jnthn isBEKaml: sorry, was afk for a moment 19:42
isBEKaml: The compiler build is just calling Parrot to produce some PIR files at the moment. 19:43
isBEKaml: Then it uses that compiler to compile a setting 19:44
That's about it. :)
isBEKaml jnthn: Sure. I was wondering about make specifically. It uses parrot-nqp --target=pir foo.pm > gen_foo.pir. Does IO redirection (>) work on windows?
moritz it does 19:45
jnthn Yes
That makefile works fine on Windows, fwiw
isBEKaml Oh, ok. :)
jnthn So if you see something in there it's probably fine to assume it's OK on Windows :)
isBEKaml Then, I think I have a way of making the build config file for compiler steps too. 19:46
I'm just doing the easy bits first. :)
19:47 justatheory joined
isBEKaml jnthn: One more question. Why do you have to create two jar files in compiler phase? NQPSettings.jar and P6Objects.jar? 19:49
19:50 ymasory left
isBEKaml why not package them into a single jar? the JRE knows only classes at runtime. It doesn't matter which classes are present in specific jars, but package names and classpath has to be correct. 19:50
jnthn isBEKaml: mberends++ probably knows that better
isBEKaml: Part of it is almost certainly dynamic loading though
We may want one and not the other.
isBEKaml mberends: ? 19:51
jnthn Oh, it may well de a dependency thing 19:52
We need the setting in order to build the library
isBEKaml mberends,jnthn: Just a bit of info. I pushed the build config file for runtime to my forked repo. You can have a look. :)

see, my Range might be anywhere among the parameters. it need not be just a solitary Range. 20:40

masak the real issue was me being bitten by the lack of real distinction between a list of element and an item. in my test, the range kept flattening because that was the thing I was iterating on. X-/ 21:00

masak p1-colomon: line 5: the export isn't needed. line 22: 'is rw' is kinda fundamental. lines 35/32. errors related. STD (or Niecza?) at fault. 21:31
21:31 justatheory left
masak p1-fox: someone needs to implement 'max'. LHF. 21:31
sorear what is 'is rw' being applied to?
niecza makes attributes and functions implicitly rw :< 21:32
21:32 justatheory joined
masak it's being applied to a public array attribute. 21:32
p1-matthias: exception seemingly unrelated. my guess it's the *-1 in the second indexing. still, not good. 21:33
21:33 MayDaniel left
masak sorear: Niecza doesn't have Int? 21:33
sorear correct
masak ah. that explains it. 21:34
so, the p1-colomon errors at lines 32/35 are actually quite understandable.
Niecza parsed 'Int' as a sub call.
p1-util: exception probably caused by the » on line 47. definitely workaroundable. 21:35
I'll stop there for now. 21:36
I'd say that these errors look fairly benign, most of them. and often easy to analyze.
someone with tuits and enthusiasm is very welcome to catalogue them somewhere :)
lets make Niecza start running the p6cc entries! \o/ 21:37

Did you edit the Grammar.pm?

jnthn huh :/
isBEKaml jnthn: and compile.pir just disappears off. :/ 22:02
jnthn Does gen_grammar.pir look OK?
isBEKaml make: *** No rule to make target `compile.pir', needed by `NQPSetting.java'. Stop.
jnthn Yeah, we leave that as is
isBEKaml jnthn: that's what. It doesn't look ok. :(
jnthn And invoke it with parrot
huh, compile.pir shoudl just exist
isBEKaml jnthn: I just git checkout compile.pir.
jnthn It's not generated
it's checked in.
isBEKaml it just disappears.
jnthn huh.
isBEKaml huh.. what task does that? 22:03
jnthn .gitignore oddness?
I'm surprised you'd just be seeing that though.
isBEKaml I don't think it's .gitignore.
one of the tasks wipes it.
more strangeness. make generates gen_grammar.pir fine. ant exec doesn't. What's strange is ant's exec invokes RuntimeExec equivalent to shell's backticks. 22:06

So far, you've not sold it to me ;)
isBEKaml \o/ build ran fine! :) 22:30
jnthn \o/
isBEKaml now, all i have to do is compile those class files and push!
one more thing, when running try.sh/try.bat, do you need all those .pir files? Mind if I clean them up? 22:31
:)
jnthn All what .pir files? 22:33
compile.pir just .include's a bunch of them so you can't clear those up
The whole thing is pretty makeshift because it's meant to go away in the end.
22:33 kaare__ left
jnthn e.g. I've generally built it to be "just enough" for us to make it to the point when we can get NQP to compile itself on JVM / CLR. 22:34
And thus it's bootstrapped and we eliminate the parrot-nqp dependency.
isBEKaml gen*.pir
22:35 Rotwang left
jnthn See compile.pir. If it's mentioned on a .include line in there, it has to stay 22:35
Unless you compile compile.pir to a PBC
Which you may do if you wish.

jnthn: I noticed a copy of NQPSetting.pm in common/NQP/. Intentional? 22:37
and another in java/compiler.
jnthn isBEKaml: That's meant to be the canonical one. 22:38
But java/compiler can't handle it yet
So the copy in java/compiler is a trimmed down version.
isBEKaml I see.
jnthn So the one in common/NQP/ is the "target", as it were
isBEKaml but not for now, I suppose. 22:39

nqpclr runs the one in common already
OK, sleep 22:41

you logically have "has Capture $.args", but because two Captures with the same content are indistinguishable, it can just be the unboxed contents
