sorear defines alternating finite automata, lays the necessary groundwork for regexes with & in O(2^2^n) time : www.geocities.com/stockmeyer@sbcglo...et/alt.pdf 07:43
also contains a proof of the PSPACE-completeness of (a problem equivalent to) quantified boolean formulas, which is why I was looking for this 07:44
... mainly linking this because some months ago I conjectured that regexes with & were not in O(2^2^....^2^n) time for any finite power tower 07:45

11:49 NamelessTee left
masak hm, mystified by the following: PAST::Val, and a bunch of other well-known PAST node types, don't seem to have a definition anywhere within the perl6/nqp repository. 11:50
are PIR and nqp flexible enough that they recognize a namespace even if it hasn't been declared anywhere? 11:51
and if so, what handles all the PAST::Val.new and PAST::Val.ACCEPTS calls everywhere?
moritz masak: I think they are inside the parrot repo 11:52
masak: compilers/pct/src/PAST/{Node,Compiler}.pir
masak ah. 'course. 11:56
moritz++
the ability to re-open any namespace from any PIR file constitutes a very "powerful" feature ;)
but it's no worse than Perl 5, I guess. 11:57
moritz aye
masak ah, yeah. this is the stuff. 11:58
12:02 PacoAir joined
masak looks like the contents of compilers/pct/src/PAST/{Node,Compiler}.pir, plus some things from the nqp repo's src/PAST/NQP.pir, make up what would need to be ported to QAST. 12:08
it's code describing the node layout, and a bunch of as_post methods to compile PAST nodes to POST.
heh, Java 7 allows the syntax "catch (IOException|SQLException ex) {" to avoid having to repeat the same catch clause with only the exception type differing. 12:15
Java 7 also introduces 0b binary literals.

13:45 leont joined
[Coke] I also am experience feather networking issues this past week or so. 13:46
leont FYI: bioperl.org/pipermail/bioperl-l/201...36407.html 13:48
tadzik seems legit 13:49
leont I'm not sure what to think about it though 13:50
tadzik he could have posted it on a better date :)
and, TPF is not on gsoc anyway :/
leont But Open Biology Foundation is ;-)
tadzik oh, nice :) 13:51
masak "implement Bioperl in Perl 6" sounds like a larger task than a GSoC task.
leont s/Biology/Bioinformatics/
masak: exactly
masak mind you, one might get off to a good start.
leont I mean, I'm sure perl6 is learnable in that amount of time, but I do assume that takes time too
masak I'd advise this person to get into contact with #perl6 ASAP. 13:52
leont I'm not sure how much useful stuff one would get done
Yeah, and #bioperl too􏿽x85
masak indeed, learning Perl 6 is not instantaneous. though it's quicker to learn with today's documentation than with last year's.
tadzik well, is it? 13:53
masak learning to write *idiomatic* Perl 6, which one would perhaps expect from a project like this, takes more than a summer :)
...but then again, "good start" and all that.
with TDD and refactoring, most projects can be lifted from the limitations of an initial design and faltering first steps of implementation.
leont Well, it's important to get foundations right for a project like this before people depend on it 13:54
BioPerl is scary Perl 5 from the mid-late 90s
Also, BioPerl as a whole is more than 2000 modules. You can't reimplement that with a dozen GSOC students. It would be fairly minimal in that regard. 14:00

masak right. 14:11
also, there's a bit of prior art, as far as I know.
pyrimidine hangs out here quite a bit. I seem to recall he wrote some bioperl6 code already. 14:12
probably thought about the design a bit, too.
14:14 mdupont left
arnsholt IIRC pyrimidine has a fair bit of bioperl6 code already 14:18
leont From a quick look, that code is mostly perl5 translated literally to perl6 14:21

moritz it's a real nuisance to write out all the comparison ops for rats 16:22
they all go like this: multi infix:<op>(Rational:D $a, Rational:D $b) { $a.numerator * $b.denominator op $b.numerator * $a.denominator } 16:23

masak hello-on-a-train, #perl6! 16:34
tadzik hello masak
masak , with totally undiminished enthusiasm for IRC-ing in a moving vehicle
moritz: I was thinking "macros" also, when I read your complaint above. I think the interesting question, though, is: can it be done with *AST* macros? 16:35
and if not, which primitives are we lacking that would allow that? 16:36
moritz we'd need to be able to add holes into identifiers
but a textual macro would work in that simple case
masak sure it would. I'm just looking for ways to extend the niche of AST macros at the expense of textual macros. 16:38
lichtkind can you tell me about that failong subtest about loading?
i think i will also ask so question about postcircumfix and alike, while this is easy there are other cat i not quite understand 16:42
moritz ENOCONTEXT 16:43
which failing subtest about loading?

Araq what's perl6's way of providing genSym?
lichtkind what is gensym?
Araq a way to introduce a unique symbol for hygenic macros 16:49
16:51 wolfman2000 left
lichtkind and by symbol you mean a operator? 16:53
Araq by symbol I mean symbol
identifier 16:54
lichtkind we have hygenic macros 16:55
Araq good
how do they work?
lichtkind strangelyconsistent.org/blog/macros...hey-really
a short overview
masak that blog post doesn't really address gensymming, though. 17:03
lichtkind yes but it explains that macros produce an ast 17:04
masak Araq: the short and slightly unsatisfactory answer is that careful separation of lexical scopes replaces gensymming in Perl 6.
lichtkind and this gets weaved into the program ast by compiler
masak at least by our current best understanding.
lichtkind: right, but there are lots of subtleties, starting with the fact that an AST must have a "context" much like a closure does. 17:05
Araq: at the end of masak.org/carl/gpw-2012-macros/talk.pdf there is an elucidation about how the lexical scopes conspire to make gensymming unnecessary. 17:06
unfortunately, there is no audio track with the PDF :) please ask more if things are not clear. 17:07

masak o/ Ronja :) 17:20
moritz I wonder why the wikipedia page on hygienic macros doesn't mention careful scoping as a solution
\o
masak that struck me as odd too.
maybe it won't work :P
or maybe Wikipedia has, I dunno, some sort of omission. 17:21
17:22 s1n joined
moritz if it works, it seems indeed to be the cleanest solution 17:23
masak aye. 17:25
when I get to the point where it works in Rakudo, I might add the alternative to the list in the article ;)
17:30 leont joined 17:32 mucker left
Araq what is the alternative, masak? 17:39
masak well, let's make an example to make things concrete. 17:44
Araq careful scoping is no substitute for gensym
masak macro foo($x) { quasi { my $a = 1; say $a; say {{{$x}}} } }; my $a = 2; foo($a) 17:45
there are two variables called '$a' -- the one in the quasi block, and the one in the mainline.
generally, we'd need to gensym the one in the quasi block so that it won't collide with the one in the mainline. 17:46
but not in Perl 6.
Araq yeah but what if the macro wants to inject a new variable that is destructed at scope end (C++ like RAII)? 17:47
masak we generally handle destruction at scope end with a LEAVE phaser.
though it's still a little unclear to me which block the LEAVE phaser latches on to -- the quasi block, or the block in the mainline. 17:48
seems to me we would want it to latch on to the block in the mainline at least sometimes. this would imply that phasers in quasi blocks are "deferred" until macro application time, just like type declarations etc. 17:49
as to variable injection in general (with or without RAII), see the discuission on the COMPILING:: namespace in S06. 17:52
Araq link? 17:53
masak COMPILING:: grants you a kind of "un-hygiene", even for declarations if you want.
perlcabal.org/syn/S06.html#Macros
it's just that hygiene is switched on by default, because we think it's a nice default :) 17:54
lichtkind tadzik: while isntalling panda i got use of uninitialized value of type Command in string context 17:55
tadzik lichtkind: yeah, I know. I have no idea where that comes from :)
masak and gosh, I sure hope that careful scoping *is* a substitute for gensymming. :) but maybe we were talking past each other, because there certainly are ways in which it wouldn't be in other languages. in Perl 6, it is.
17:56 bbkr joined
lichtkind tadzik: also the failing test in the fetcher? 17:56

Teratogen I'll try to do better masak
masak tadzik: it sounds familiar, but I haven't tried to precompile modules in a while, and so I haven't been affected. 18:38

brrt in rakudo, is there a branch that does implement declared array dimensions? 18:54

tadzik did you tackle the freenode riddle today? 19:03
masak heh. I thought I needed a dynamic variable in a module, but it turned out I just needed a lexical variable in that module. I wonder what made me confused in that particular way.
seems to me now that dynamic variables are mostly useful in situations that resemble traversal, or recursion. 19:04
masak de-trains 19:06
moritz masak: agreed about recursion and dynamic vars 19:09
or what STD.pm6 and rakudo's Grammar.pm use is to do some tiny bits of configuration on the calling location for stuff that goes deep into the call stack and that isn't worth passing around as objects all the time 19:11
lichtkind masak: whos idea was it to lowercase pod? 19:18
tadzik Damian's 19:19
I think
lichtkind and you know the reason?
damian is still around?
sorear damian is impossible to get rid of! 19:20
lichtkind here it is a good thing :)
Araq implicit parameters seem a better solution than dynamic vars
sorear Araq ! 19:21
tadzik I believe they serve different purposes
sorear Hi ! Haven't seen you fo a while
Araq well thanks, hi
lichtkind tadzik: only reason for me was it just looks better ebcasue special var have to stick out more and if pod do it too there is tto much uppercase and since is got even more part of the lang it should be lowercase like rest of keywords 19:22

spider-mario pugs gets it right
and surprisingly quickly :D
timotimo huh, i can do "next" in a function that has no loop in it, if it's called from some place that has a loop?
i could just try instead of asking, actually 19:55

tadzik :) 19:55
19:55 ChanServ sets mode: +v hugme
timotimo that's pretty neat 19:56
i suppose the same mechanism makes "take" work in any function called transitively from inside a gather block
interestingly, next without a loop around it is not a problem to rakudo 19:57
