colomon explanation? 04:33
sorear colomon: that's the J version
benabik quicksort=: (($:@(<#[) , (=#[) , $:@(>#[)) ({~ ?@#)) ^: (1<#) 04:34
(From Wikipedia) And people call perl line noise. 04:35
sorear J has some (meta)operators P6 ought to borrow, like ^:_ "iterate function until two values are equal within 1e-6" and ^:(<_) "same, but return list of values"
TiMBuS all i ever see in J/K code are unhappy smileys
colomon I think I like ^:_ as a concept. :) 04:36
jlaire it's line noise only if you can't read it
04:37 kaare_ joined
jlaire many writing systems for natural languages look like 'line noise' to me :) 04:38
TiMBuS what if a language was nothing but a morse code style of spaces and tabs. completely unreadable. is it noise?
sorear writing J is definitely easier than reading it
also I still can't grok $: 04:39
TiMBuS seems more like silence.
jlaire writing J is easier for me too, but I wouldn't be suprised if more experienced J programmers disagreed 04:40
sorear notices that ey only uses "grok" in the negative 04:41
sorear ponders how best to expose CLR "events" to P6 04:43

04:48 risou_awy is now known as risou
jlaire I haven't really followed the discussions about immutability, but fwiw I really like the way 'const' works in C++ (and C) 04:49
copying data structures in getters just to protect them from modifications seems so silly from a C++ perspective
sorear The C++ way has its advantages. Perl 6 can improve on it by using dynamism so you don't have to write all your accessors twice. 04:51

sorear if I try to do $hashtable.ContainsKey("PATH"), it passes an instance of Niecza.BoxObject`1[System.String] 05:42

*CLR
sorear oh, huh.
mberends <- bad typist 06:36
sorear I spent the last half-hour fretting about ways to shave milliseconds off the CLR marshalling layer
mberends ooh
sorear but apparently it's already halfway-decently fast
11.47 µs for $rng.Next(100,200)
06:37 lumi__ left
mberends yes, that's good 06:37
sorear more like 11.5 ± 0.5
sorear should read the error bars before talking
06:37 lumi__ joined
mberends I think it's because Niecza-CLR interop isn't as big of a jump as some other interops, with Niecza generating IL anyway. 06:38
06:38 agentzh joined
sorear Niecza-CLR interop is currently entirely using System.Reflection 06:38
$rng.Next(100,200) juggles pointers to do the marshal, then calls MethodInfo.Invoke(object, object[]) 06:39
the biggest potential win is to generate IL 06:40
mberends Reflection struck me as potentially some of the slowest code in CLR, but I may have that wrong. So all credit to Niecza.
sorear but it's also problematic in terms of startup speed, furthermore, Mono 2.6 cannot garbage collect IL under any circumstance
06:41 jevin left, jevin joined
sorear IL can be removed from memory only by destroying the interpreter object (the CLR provides an internally-accessible API to create and destroy interpreters, a nice touch that more VMs should copy. IIRC Tcl and Io provide the same functionality) 06:43
mberends: I had the same impression 06:44
sorear is trying to find a way to do the equivalent of default(T) using the reflection API 06:45
apparently, some structs have no constructor, so I can't create objects though the constructor. 06:46
ohhohhoh this is evil 06:48

07:11 JimmyZ joined
mberends I'm considering adding a comment that I think deliverables 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 are low-risk as a first half and that 4 is high-risk and should perhaps be done in a separate project. 07:12
sorear pmichaud: I don't have a clear idea what to say. My real question is, what sorts of comments would be useful?
pmichaud not having a clear idea what to say is a good reason (more) 07:13
the kinds of comments they're looking for: do you think it's worthy? is it important? 07:14
or, if you see problems with the proposal, what are they?
essentially the board (who aren't as tuned to p6 stuff as many others) are wanting to hear from folks that are involved in p6 as to what they think of the proposal 07:15
07:15 wamba left
pmichaud maybe see the comments given on previous hague proposals 07:15
sorear mberends: I think D4's difficulty is very uncertain. I am aware of three half-baked ideas of how to do it, from the old times when I was experimenting 07:16
mberends for me a great justification would exist if macros could be used within Rakudo itself to improve parts of the implementation.
pmichaud oh, they'll certainly be used for that 07:17
mberends sorear: that uncertainty certainly (;)) bothers me
JimmyZ wonders if amount request is suited or not
07:17 lumi__ left
pmichaud the lack of a clear macro definition has hindered rakudo progress several times 07:17

(this last one had 46 comments)
I'm planning to add my comments to masak++'s proposal, but I'm letting others comment first before mine bias things a bit :) 07:21
moritz pmichaud: tadzik++ and I have both submitted our comments already 07:22
pmichaud moritz: I'm guessing they haven't been approved yet.
moritz pmichaud: they are just held for approval by the... right 07:23
mberends my comments added too
pmichaud excellent.
moritz pmichaud: note that the last one you linked wasn't rejected, afaict. It just was never acted upon
07:24 jamtech joined
pmichaud "not funded" is essentially the same as "rejected", afaic :) 07:24
JimmyZ has been planning to submit a comment , but he doesn' t know the amount reques is right or not
pmichaud JimmyZ: that's useful as a comment, then.

08:36 clairvy joined
masak is not sure whether to participate in the discussion about the grant proposal or not ;) 08:36
anyway, it's nice to read the backlog and see you take an interest in it.
sorear hello masak 08:37
pmichaud masak: if there are items that in the discussion that you think could use clarification, feel free to participate :)
masak ok, then. 08:38
pmichaud (same goes for comments on the perlfoundation page, I think)
at least, that's the approach I've generally taken.
masak D4 *is* the high-risk one. I say as much in the grant proposal.
pmichaud I think high risk is okay.
masak essentially, the structure of the grant and the payments already make it into two separate grants.
pmichaud right 08:39
masak where D4 makes up most of the latter half.
pmichaud I think it's better to have one big proposal than two smaller ones.
masak so I'm not sure how to acquiesce mberends' request :P
pmichaud well, if others agree that D4 deserves to be a separate grant, they can comment it that way :) 08:40
mberends masak: you don't have to, it's just €0.02 worth on risk management :)
08:41 lumi__ left
pmichaud I guess part of the question would be "how risky is 'high risk' here?" 08:42
mberends masak: I hope my other point about benefiting Rakudo internals does strengthen your proposal.
08:42 lumi__ joined
pmichaud I will definitely be highlighting the direct benefit to both Perl 6 (spec) and Rakudo from this proposal, and that it's been needed for a while. 08:43
masak mberends: my feeling about D4 is that it will be challenging and non-trivial, but definitely within the realm of the possible.
it's also a very important part of macro functionality. 08:44
not being able to define subs in a quasi is quite a heavy limitation. 08:45
mberends I'd even like D4 to be isolated so that another developer potentially does the work. Bus number and all that. 08:46
masak if I may invoke YAGNI at that point... :) 08:47
08:47 frhodes joined
masak someone could salvage it from my proposal if a bus does materialize. 08:48
my point is that we don't really "have macros" in any serious sense until we have D4.
JimmyZ agrees with masak++ 08:49

moritz like "you don't have to declare variables, it's confusing for the beginner"?
masak arrays can have any exotic *secondary* indices you care to give them, but they still map down to sensible *primary* indices.

im2ee Is new needed? P6 doesn't do something automaticlly?

im2ee I just want to assign values to some private attributes :)
jnthn OK 14:03
You can either do it at the point of declaration:
im2ee So, Mu does it?
jnthn has $!answer = 42;
Or you can write a BUILD submethod if you need something more complex.
im2ee: Mu gives you a default thing 14:04
im2ee: But it won't initialize privates for you
im2ee My::Module.new( value1 => 1, value2 => 2); I want to make it look like this.
jnthn OK, and you have something like
has $!value1;
has $!value2;
?
im2ee Yes.
jnthn OK, so you need to write something like
submethod BUILD(:$!value1, :$!value2) { }
moritz im2ee: if they are *private*, why do you want the user to set them? 14:05
im2ee: the user shouldn't care about your privates
14:05 whiteknight left
im2ee jnthn, ok it's clear now. :) 14:05
14:05 betterworld joined
im2ee moritz, right but i don't want to allow user to direct access like My::Module.value1 but on the other hand i want the user to assign the values via a method new. :) 14:07
It's correct? :) 14:08
14:08 wamba joined
moritz im2ee: so the user has to remember himself what values he passed to your .new method? 14:08
jnthn im2ee: That's what you'd achieve with what I suggested, yes. But as moritz++ points out, it tends to be a curious design decision for a class.
im2ee Those don't have to be private values, can be public - but still want to assign values via new method :) 14:09
moritz there might be cases where something like that makes sense, but it's kind of an antipattern
masak private attributes can not be set through default .new -- there's a reason for that.
moritz im2ee: if you make them private, you get that (setting through .new) by default
jnthn im2ee: Yes, but if you make the public that doesn't mean the suer can change them, and it does mean you don't hae to write a BUILD submethod - because Perl 6 will initialize your publics automatically for you.

I think the underlying principle is "if the user told you the value in the first place, there's probably not that much reason to keep from them something they already knew" :) 14:11
im2ee So, class A { has $.b }; my $o = A.new(b => 42); say $o.b; $o.b = 12; won't work without "is rw". Right?

TimToady but adding gratuitous parens sometimes has the pernicious effect of teaching the reader the opposite of what's actually true; if I see parens in a language I'm not familiar with, I'll assume they're necessary for a reason 15:31
15:32 lumi__ joined
masak TimToady: I'm on your side in this issue; but the majority of coders don't seem to *want* to learn about precedence. which puts constraints on how maintainable code can look in practice. 15:34
TimToady they don't want to learn it because its design principles are not generally taught
"Here's a precedence table; sink or swim!"
masak aye.
parallel to all the other "best practices" and "rules" of software development. 15:35
TimToady so this is a good place for a comment, not for extra parens, methinks
masak ideally, the code should just sing out with intent and consistency!
just like a good story. 15:36
TimToady yes, well, receptivity varies
masak the more I code, the more I realize, hey, I can make this program look *any way I want* and still have it do what I want.

18:52 uasi_ left
TimToady NFC, NFD, CodeStr, and such 18:52
sorear it's important not to accidentally change the byte sequence when manipulating filenames on POSIX systems
utf8->Unicode->utf8 is byte-lossless on valid data, but utf8->NFG->utf8 seems not to be 18:53
TimToady that's why we need the type system to guarantee that when it's needed
well, your assertion depends on exactly what you mean by "Unicode" 18:54
Unicode isn't a single thing
s/thing/type of thing/
as far as a POSIX system is concerned, a filename is little more than a blob 18:55
with a bit of searching for /
sorear I mean sequences of codepoints
TimToady NFG is no worse than NFC
sorear true
but if the user has non-NFC filenames - they need to be roundtripped 18:56
TimToady and they should use a type that reflects that need
sorear it would be nice if we could handle filenames with invalid utf8 gracefully as well
TimToady POSIX filenames are really just buf8
sorear we need to make open("MyFile") DWIM 18:57
TimToady the trick will be to make buf8 behave more like strings when needed
sorear requiring a .encode in there is just silly
18:57 frhodes left
TimToady that's what allomorphic constants are for 18:57
for instance, Go doesn't assume any type info for constants except where used 18:58
sorear how about: my $line = $*IN.get; say $line.chars; open($line, :r)
TimToady not planning to go that far, but I believe the spec already indicates somewhere that "foo" is both a string and a buffer 18:59

sorear masak: whether or not we work out a design for :from<CLR>, it makes a lot of sense to have a way to access unimported types 22:23
(but I'm more interested in NFG right now nudge nudge)

I'm thinking filenames might need to be Buf.

TimToady thinks that all foreign object systems live *under* Mu, and the default Perl 6 constructor comes from Any, not from Mu. 23:51
jnthn TimToady: new is in Any?
TimToady: Do foreign objects live under Any or Mu?
jnthn had imagined Any... 23:52
TimToady I think Any is a bit too concrete for foreign object systems, if you have to override its semantics 23:53
foreign objects feel more like "concepts" to me
and concepts like Junction live outside Any
jnthn fairy nuff 23:54
From my point of view, they just have different meta-objects, and a meta-object can claim to do whatever type it feels like :) 23:55
It does mean you have to specifically write code that should work on foreign objects to expect them.
TimToady possible Cool could know about various external types that it chooses to delegate coolness to, but I'm suspicious of attempts to interleave the class hierarchies
jnthn *nod* 23:56
TimToady in particular, I'm scared of other language's strings right now :)
