»ö« Welcome to Perl 6! | perl6.org/ | evalbot usage: 'perl6: say 3;' or rakudo:, niecza:, std:, or /msg p6eval perl6: ... | irclog: irc.perl6.org/ | UTF-8 is our friend!
Set by sorear on 4 February 2011.
perigrin Ali_h: incase there is a transcription error or something ... can you humor us and paste the results into something like paste.scsys.co.uk/ ? 00:00
TimToady of gist.github.com 00:01
*or
Ali_h well ill take screenshot and it will show output too
perigrin harder for one of us to copy it and try it locally that way, but as you wish
TimToady has to run off in a few minutes, but is glad to see other people helping 00:02
another question, is this the first time you've install Rakudo? 00:03
or is there maybe an old copy out there somewhere?
Ali_h first time instal
paste.scsys.co.uk/103508
as I said its right from the book 00:04
PerlJam not quite
TimToady yowsers, that's ancient 00:05
PerlJam (There's some odd spacing at the very least)
TimToady illegal Perl 6 these days
Ali_h PerlJam, its how the books done it
sorear -> $line{ will never work 00:06
PerlJam Ali_h: $line{ and $r2{ won't fly too far
Ali_h so the books wrong :/ can anyone suggest anything else to learn perl6 by 00:07
PerlJam no, the book is correct (at least in source form :) 00:08
TimToady }else{ is incorrect
PerlJam did you copy/paste from the PDF or something?
TimToady put spaces around all your block braces
Ali_h >.< no so I typed wrong ok just gonna hide now :/ 00:09
TimToady you also misspelled $result/$results 00:10
00:10 justatheory left, justatheory joined
TimToady and $sets needs to be %sets 00:11
Ali_h eek goes into hiding and goes to read preoperly :/
sorry guys
PerlJam Ali_h: no worries.
perigrin Ali_h: and that's why I suggested actually pasting the code ... transcription errors are a bane to us all. 00:12
00:12 justatheory left
TimToady has to run off now, but good luck! :) 00:12
Ali_h thanks TimToady,perljam and pergrin for your help:) 00:13

TimToady well, the intent is that $variable remember a cursor position for errors, since self might be too far down the buffer 03:54
well, that was the intent originally, but the code has mutated over time... 03:59
sorear the problem is that Match objects don't have a .sorry method 04:01

TimToady that's allowed though
moritz so are submethods only meant for object construction? 06:06
TimToady they're meant to be infrastructural
anyway, you can get around the $.foo restriction with self.foo, which seems reasonable to me 06:07
people think of $.foo as a variable, but not self.foo

perigrin you've trained them that $ means "scalar" 06:20
and that two punctuation symbols means "Twigil"
nobody expect "hidden invocant" 06:21
TimToady the deception is somewhat intentional 06:23
perigrin I'm not surprised :) 06:25
moritz it does confuse newcomers that $.foo isn't writable within the class
06:26 SHODAN joined
sorear twigils are always sort of invokey 06:26
moritz huh? what does $!foo invoke?
perigrin foo's really really hard.
sorear moritz: even in nom it's indirected through REPR's get_attr 06:27
otoh, having said that, I think of $?foo, which is in some ways less dynamic than $foo 06:28
06:28 wamba left
moritz sorear: is there anything in Perl 6 that is not indirected in some way, at least notionally? 06:29
TimToady 42 06:30
sorear $foo has to be pretty direct because of the ways it plays with static typing
especially if it was declared with a native type
moritz sorear: it's indirected by the lexpad, no?
at least if not natively typed
TimToady everything is indirected through the grammar :) 06:31
moritz ... even the grammar :-)
sorear TimToady: is class Foo { token bar { ... } } bad form?
TimToady well, it won't have the grammatical methods to process the regex unless Foo derives from a grammar somewhere 06:32
sorear in the case I'm looking at, "Foo" = "Cursor"
maybe I should have grammar Cursor is Any { ... } 06:33
:)
grammar Grammar is Cursor { ... }
TimToady unless 'grammar' implies 'is Cursor'
sorear in current niecza explicit trait_mod:<is> overrides that
moritz rakudo: grammar Foo { }; say join ' ', Foo.^parents
p6eval rakudo 678ad3: OUTPUT«Grammar() Cursor() Regex::Cursor() Any() Mu()␤»
perigrin wonders off now thinking grammar Kelsy is Actor { ... } 06:34
sorear that's probably needed if you're going to define class Junction is Mu { }
moritz in rakudo 'grammar' implies 'is Grammar'
sorear (pretend I have a few more "my"s in there)
moritz: niecza too, except without Regex::Cursor and with Cool
moritz Regex::Cursor is an artifact 06:35
sorear: I'm a bit surprised you consider Grammar Cool - does it support the usual operations like conversion to Str, Int, and so on? 06:36
sorear rakudo: say join ' ', Regex::Cursor.^parents
p6eval rakudo 678ad3: OUTPUT«Method 'parents' not found for invocant of class 'P6metaclass'␤ in main program body at line 22:/tmp/QQ3N3eBLip␤»

Niecza's Match is Cool, its Cursor is not

so in your command prompt, write
perl6 yourscriptname.pl
Ali_h thanks 14:24
PerlJam Ali_h: See? I would have been totally unresponsive in PM since I had to walk down the hall at my office for a few minutes. It's a good thing you spoke on channel :-) 14:25
moritz Ali_h: I don't want to discourage you, but total noobs are not the intended audience of "Using Perl 6". You might find lots of things hard to understand. We are happy about your feedback anyway. 14:27
Ali_h tell that to deamon its his fault im learning it :/
moritz Ali_h: there will be a book that teaches total newcomers Perl 6, but it's not written yet :/
PerlJam: locally I've fixed the code examples and the input format, but it'll take more time to adapt the explanations in the book 14:28

moritz IO::Socket::INET is part of the core, fortunately

daemon hello tadzik
tadzik I see some good intentions :) 14:37
daemon tadzik, moritz; well you see me and ali_h actually live together; ali is my girlfriend.. I got forced into meeting some friends of hers against every fibre of my being; in return ali_h agreed that she would complete a Simple IRC BOT in perl6 within one month
all that is at stake really is Ali_h's honour; if she fails on something she absolute SWORE she would do. 14:38
tadzik aha! :)
that's interesting
moritz daemon: sounds like fun... how did you like her friends?

moritz use '#' instead of \#

newbee ahother question :) 14:58
another*
if i try to print a line on a file, i got this: IO()<0x96245b4> 14:59
colomon that looks like you are actually printing the IO object.
how are you trying to print?
moritz $IO.print
not print $IO
newbee my $CAL = open $.file or die "Can not open $.file : $!"; for $CAL -> $line { say $line; }
moritz for $CAL.lines -> $line { say $line; } 15:00
colomon for $CAL.lines -> $line
moritz you still have to *read* from the file :-)
15:00 satyavvd_ joined
masak newbee: you were looping over the filehandle. 15:01
newbee: ($CAL, the result of 'open', is a filehandle in Perl 6. similar to Perl 5's "open my $CAL, '<', $file"
)
15:02 orafu joined
newbee i see... i still think in "perl5" :) 15:02
15:02 satyavvd left
moritz then imagine that the .lines replaces the < > around the file handle 15:02
in perl 5 you can't do while ($filehandle) either, you need <$filehandle> 15:03
masak newbee: even in Perl 5, it's <$CAL>, not $CAL, to read from the filehandle.
moritz masak's and mine similar lines of thoughts are kinda scary :-)
moritz still hasn't got around to backlog #rakudosketch from Tuesday - ETOOMUCHFAMILYTROUBLE 15:04
newbee another question.... single quotes are preferred over / / in regexps now? 15:05

moritz newbee: the difference is that split accepts a string in Perl 6, whereas it always coerced to regex in Perl 6. 15:07

That's one of the only 3 things I prefer in python than in perl5

TimToady but yeah, you should be able to mix in slicing to strings
moritz note that in rakudo you only have to provide an at-pos($index) { } method 16:17
nebuchadnezzar maybe just augment Str does Iterable and Implement an at-pos
erf
moritz and it automatically desguars slices passed to .[] into .at-pos calls
PerlJam your ruby is showing ;)
TimToady also, you get one level of list comprehension for free with .foo when Mumble for @list

colomon TimToady: is there a spec way to actually derive from Str? I've never understood how you would initialize the string's value (for instance) from a derived class. 16:19
moritz nebuchadnezzar: note that Perl 6 treats single-item-lists and scalars the same, so code can rely on "abc"[0] eq "abc" (and probably does)
TimToady well, you'd really want to modify the quoting grammar too
moritz nebuchadnezzar: so introducing string slicing will likely cause havoc
PerlJam though that is one of those features "newbies" always want. 16:20

newbee TimeOfDay goes from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59. The thing is, surely there are other kind of "counters" that behave the same way: An hexadecimal counter: From 00:00:00:00 to FF:FF:FF:FD. I want to 'abstract' that, so TimeOfDay could inherit from that. How can i call this base class? 16:26
alester kthx
pmichaud alester: looks great!
alester It's kinda boring. 16:27
pmichaud some press releases are boring, yes. :-)
TimToady newbee: actually, TimeOfDay can go to 23:59:60 :P 16:28

newbee brb!!!
nebuchadnezzar TimToady: ok, I was just looking for a shorter/nicer syntax for substr($string, $start, $end); 16:29
thanks guys
pmichaud $string.comb[$start..$end] 16:30
except it's a list, not a string
so put a ~ in front
(granted, not a lot shorter)
colomon the at_pos solution, if implemented, would still have the list not a string problem. 16:31

pmichaud (I entered "boring press releases" into Google, and it helpfully suggests that I intended "boeing press releases".) 16:33
PerlJam Except aren't perlbuzz articles supposed to have some "buzz"? :) 16:34
a boring press release has no buzz.
alester In this case, there's nothing more to say other than "RSS works now thank goodness" 16:36

masak PerlJam: backporting chained comparison ops into Perl 5 goes against the trend of backwards compatibility in the Perl 5 lineage. it would change the semantics of (probably highly questionable, but still) code out there. 20:01
20:04 benabik joined
masak newbee: the Counter thing you're describing sounds more like a role than a class. 20:05
a parameterized role, at that.
newbee mmmm yes, it does. The parameters are the "dimensions" (h m and s for TimeOfDay) and the "ranges" for each dimension (00-23 for hour, etc...) 20:06
masak rakudo: role Counter[*@maxvalues] { has @.values; method new(*@values) { die "wrong number of args" unless @maxvalues == @values; die "out of range" unless 0 <= all(@values) && @values Z<= @maxvalues; self.bless(*, :@values) } }; class TimeOfDay does Counter[23,59,59] {}; my $t = TimeOfDay.new(14,59,59); say $t.perl 20:10

newbee just a question.... what does "*@" means? I'm guessing that it means "put any parameters received in @maxvalues" 20:20
masak the star there is pronounced "slurpy". 20:21
it emulates the Perl 5 behaviour of reading in all (positional) arguments into one array parameter.
benabik I pronounce it "shlurpy".

newbee nice :) That's exactly the idea ... now i just have to implement an "offset" in case the ++ goes beyond the "scale". I have that in my TimeOfDay class but this role thing is much cooler 20:24
