dalek : 1df6eb2 | lue++ | examples/functional/ (7 files):
[examples] fixed most of examples/functional to work with rakudo/nom

The entirety of the fixes include making sure functions returned Bool values when they said they would, flattening where it would otherwise cause infinite recursion, and avoiding redeclaration of variables (how that managed to happen is beyond me). Only monads.pl was untouched, due to an NYI error about typed arrays.		 03:04

sorear mberends: I think I'm going to shift my month focus to general CLR integration and let someone else worry about API design. 04:32
I don't like API design.
mberends lue: you should look beyond Google, even if only to resist the creation of another kind of monopoly
sorear you should detest Google for other reasons.
mberends sorear: I'll gladly participate in API bikeshedding, but would like to work mainly with example use cases. 04:33
lue I got NoScript to stop Google from the stupid "guess what you want as you're typing" when they brought it to the SSL version. [It severely slows down my connection and makes Google think I'm using a bot to do mass searches!] 04:34
lue investigates other search engines
04:35 jrockway joined 04:38 jevin left 04:39 ccc_ left 04:40 jevin joined
mberends sorear: I'm very happy that you'll work on CLR integration instead. If you you devise something that goes beyond Zavolaj's NativeCall, it will create many application opportunities for Niecza and throw out a challenge for Rakudo to catch up. Therefore I hope you can make it as VM agnostic as possible. 04:43
lue: I'm not sure 'wormhole' is the best choice of word, could you help me with some possible improvements? github.com/sorear/niecza/blob/mast...mpiler.pod 04:47
lue looks 04:50
mberends that sentence reads better with "Perl 6 virtual world" and "executable real world" as well 04:54
lue instead of wormhole, maybe passageway? [also, I noticed this: "How is the Niecza compiler babby formed?" Are you sure it's babby? ] 04:55
04:55 Exodist joined
mberends lue: yes, I'm sure. I was hoping for something more cosmic, to spice up the text. 'bridge' is too mundane, 'stargate' too exotic. 04:57

.oO(gateway perhaps?)
 04:58
mberends yes, better. how about portal? 04:59
sorear rabbit-hole.
mberends yes, quite nice 05:00
lue I like rabbit-hole, reminds me of Alice in Wonderland (where CLR is real life, and P6 is Wonderland, according to your analogy) 05:01
mberends no, implies similar worlds too much, like wormhole
oh, the looking-glass!
sorear it's not really like a boundary between P6 and real life
and as I said yesterday, rawscall has nothing to do with system calls 05:02
the "s" stands for "static"
"rawcall" calls instance methods, "rawscall" calls class methods
mberends oh, I missed that totally 05:03
sorear CLR makes the distinction
mberends I'd kinda mapped VM to system
05:04 sftp left
mberends ok, that will get a rewrite. I'm really attracted to 'looking-glass', I think it triggers appropriate thoughts. 05:05
sorear DownCall/UpCall is kind of like a wormhole, it's a portal through time 05:06
it allows code compiled using last month's Niecza to call code compiled using the current Niecza, and vice versa (for eval)
05:06 sftp joined
mberends I assumed that was only during the bootstrap compile, and that in the next iteration of recompile the versions of caller and callee would be in sync. 05:08
sorear mberends: it would be possible to do it that way, and the release binaries are set up that way 05:09
mberends I like the time travel viewpoint of the bootstrap, that might be worth mentioning more explicitly.
sorear mberends: but for development I only want to build niecza once, which means that "self-compiled" is a bad idea
in ghc/gcc parlance builds from source are always stage1s 05:10
mberends aye, I hacked on Small-C many years ago and had the same self-hosting stability risks
sorear ... "Small-C"? haven't heard of that in ages. 05:11
mberends by James Hendrix, an excellent learning tool 05:12
sorear most of the "stability" problems went away when niecza started running roast
I don't fear that I'm rebooting with a broken niecza
mberends yes, testing++ 05:13
05:14 dukeleto left
sorear mberends: hrm, I wonder then if CLR interop should be more like Zavolaj or Blizkost 05:20
mberends sorear: so far I've preferred Zavolaj because it's more explicitly declarative 05:21
TimToady literal but non-portable interfaces are okay for building portability layers on top of
mberends sorear: Zavolaj is independent on what lies beyond, for example hooking up PostgreSQL was a breeeze. 05:23
*of, *breeze even 05:26
sorear mberends: preferred Zavolaj over...?
mberends sorear: Blizkost, the other option you mentioned for 'interop like' 05:27

05:31 dark_x left 05:36 wamba joined 05:48 wtw joined
mberends phenny, tell sorear we have the option to use Zavolaj or Blizkost generally when a Perl 5 module abstracts a native library, for example a PostgreSQL or MySQL client. I preferred independence from the effect a Perl 5 layer might have on what is available to the Perl 6 code. In short, call direct. The question for the Niecza interop design is whether you can _always_ interrogate native code to tell you its methods and parameters, or not. I don't think 05:51
you can.
phenny mberends: I'll pass that on when sorear is around.
06:02 wamba left
mberends phenny, tell sorear otoh, CLR is easier to deal with than native code because CLR has Reflection. Calling from Niecza to native code involves jumping through two hoops, CLR and FFI. We don't want the solution to look like Perl 5 XS. 06:03
phenny mberends: I'll pass that on when sorear is around.
lue oh! I was reading up more on the capture sigil (¢) ooc, and found an irc log discussion mentioning ¢'s supposed alternative (@%) used to be @@. So, does that mean @@ is just ¢ ? 06:06

mberends phenny, tell pmichaud the next timing accuracy improvement in Test.pm will be to move $time_before and $time_after assignments out from proclaim() to ok(), is*(), diag() etc, because some of those do lots of work before calling proclaim(). There should be negligible performance impact, but I'd like your opinion before proceeding. Also, there will probably be a few sub-microsecond times soon. We could record nanoseconds instead of microseconds (I pref 08:33

mls morning perl6! 13:00
If you're interested whay perl6 does when it compiles the setting: www4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~ml...ing.out.gz 13:01
It's in kcachegrind input format 13:02
I've patched parrot's runloop to collect call statistics 13:05
bbkr_ rakudo: sub foo ( /abc/ ) { 1 }; foo( Regex ); # bug with method delegation?
p6eval rakudo 2bac6a: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Cannot use a value type constraints whose value is unknown at compile time at line 1, near ") { 1 }; f"␤»
bbkr_ std: sub foo ( /abc/ ) { 1 }; # i don't know what kind of monster is it, but STD allows such declaration, therefore foo(Regex) should delegate 13:07

flussence mls++
moritz bbkr_: I think it's a limitation in rakudo's current handling of constraints and literals 13:08
flussence (seems like the grammar is the slowest part...)
PerlJam using grammar is always faster than parsing grammar ;) 13:09
moritz mls++ 13:10
lineof is the function that takes the most time 13:11
13:12 daxim left
mls it is? 13:12
I don't see it 13:13
moritz mls: that's what your report says when I sort by the 'self' column in kcachegrind
flussence it's the longest per-call, it only gets called 18k times though 13:14
mls it takes the most ops, but you can switch to 'cycles'
flussence oh, *now* it makes more sense... 13:15
moritz mls: do you know what <cycle 7> as a routine name means?
flussence (.new looked strangely lightweight before)
mls turn off cycle detection
moritz ah 13:16
mls you get a cycle when you do recursion
moritz so post_children takes up a lot of time 13:17
ah, it shows the cycles in in the right window
moritz finally learns how to kcachegrind :-) 13:18
PerlJam attr gets called a lot 13:19
mls: can you patch rakudo to do the same thing but for perl 6 subs/methods? :) 13:20
flussence protoregex appears to be where a lot of the slowness in parsing originates 13:21
im2ee What means Z? (e.g. in @@( <a b> Z <c d> )) And where can I use this? :)
moritz im2ee: it's the "zip" operator

im2ee Great! Thanks :) 13:24

.oO( there's also the XZXZXZX operator, but we don't talk about that one here... )
 13:26
arnsholt But no XYZZY? =) 13:30
PerlJam we've got Z X R and S I believe so far. Dunno what Y would be. 13:33
oh, and E too 13:35
flussence E? 13:36
flussence only knows the first three
PerlJam S03:2152
flussence aha
im2ee I know only Z :) hah 13:37
Everything is waiting for me.

moritz wishes tadzik best of luck 13:51
tadzik thanks. For now, I need some best of motivation :)

moritz seems motivation is out. Try sense of duty instead.
tadzik hmm, will think about it 13:54
