adu lame, there should be a REPL
moritz there is
on the command line
we have experimented with showing the return value instead of output
moritz but it was very confusing at times 06:31
adu oh
sorear when people run the same command four times, it makes me wonder what they are thinking
moritz so we decided it's less confusing to just require a say or a print somewhere
sorear: it wasn't the same four times

adu I've been learning perl for about 3 days
give me a break
sorear exactly
I want to know what you were thinking 06:33
adu well, I have seen code with all of those methods
sorear I can't put myelf in your shoes because I've known perl for far too long
unless I ask
adu I was hoping one of them would give me something interesting
and I thought "perl6:" would give me what I ask for, instead of what I ask to print 06:34
moritz ah well, now you know better :-)
adu ok
moritz lesson learned, everybody happy, peace spreads over the world
adu well, if I were the botmaster, then I would have 2 bots, perl6io (requiring "say") and perl6 (ignoring io and auto-printing $_.Str) 06:35
moritz that would be worth experimenting with, I think 06:38

I'm probably one of 50 people writing a scheme for parrot
jnthn moritz: Hmm...Rakudo release seems to be quite early this month... 07:00
sorear I'm not sure Parrot has 50 users, total
jnthn Next week, iiuc
jnthn gets to work on $dayjob
tadzik adu: then people would just forget to write 'p6io' instead of 'p6', I guess 07:03
adu tadzik: that was my rationale 07:04
tadzik I don't see a point then :)
adu tadzik: the point is that if you can remember to put a "say" in front of whatever it is that you are interested in, then you can also remember to add an io to the name 07:05
tadzik okay
adu my guess is that if you are are not aware of either, then you are aware of neither 07:06
hmm, too many are's 07:07
adu must be a pirate

sorear hello mikec__ 07:23
moritz jnthn: aye, early release, but we have already done a bunch of awesome stuff done since the point release 07:31

moritz in Rat.Str, should $base be a named argument? 08:08
TimToady not clear whether you want to replace the decimal version or multi this alongside
TimToady Oh, likely, but .base(16) presumably calls that 08:09
TimToady dunno how your internals are set up, actually 08:09
just thought I'd do the base version as a kind of puzzle, since the current .base() always truncates at 6 digits 08:10

jnthn right
tadzik :)
jnthn masak: So hugs don't scale out well?
tadzik it's hard to hug someone who scales out well :P

tadzik I see 10:17
moritz I have a patch locally that makes 'enum A (x => "foo")' survive 10:18
but, it still coerces to Int silently somewhere 10:19
jnthn moritz: The whole enum code is very Int-centric today
moritz: The way it should be done is to call .succ
Instead of assuming int, coercing, adding one, etc.
moritz jnthn: that's why my patch does 10:20
jnthn: though it only changes Actions.pm so far, neither World nor EnumHOW
jnthn moritz: OK, then I get the fail is in the world method to add the enum element
moritz s/why/what/
jnthn That method can probably become way simpler I suspect
I think EnumHOW should be totally comfortable with non-numeric enums.
jnthn It shoudl only be compiler changes that are needed. 10:20
moritz well, what it currently does is to box into the enum type 10:21
so I think I must fix boxability of it somehow
jnthn finds the code on github 10:22
(may have to disappear to help folks doing regexercises at any point :))
dalek kudo/enum-nonint: 417d760 | moritz++ | src/Perl6/Actions.pm:
start to make enums less int centric
moritz in particular, method create_enum_value in World
my $val := pir::repr_box_int__PiP($value, $enum_tpe_obj);
the $enum_type_obj is of the type that it creates for that enum, right? 10:23
so in enum A <b c>, that's A
jnthn Yes
moritz so I need to fix $*OFTYPE somehow 10:24
jnthn uh 10:25
At the moemtn it assumes you have to declare up front if you want a strign based enum
our Str enum A <b c>;
$*OFTYPE holsd the Str there 10:26
But I guess maybe that is not the whole story.
moritz is that what the spec says?
jnthn It certainly says you can put a type there. 10:26
However, i think enum A (:b('lol'));
Is also meant to work out. 10:27
moritz so... we defer constructing the enum type object until we know what type it's made of? 10:27
jnthn Which there ain't anything in palce to support right now.
Yeah, we'd have to re-order things as they current stand 10:28
That is Ok though.
I think it's fairly clear that all of the values have to have the same type too.
moritz it seems that Perl6::Metamodel::BaseType already supports setting the base type later 10:29
jnthn In the case there's an OFTYPE we should check all the values conform to that. In the case there's not, we take the type of the first value and ensure the rest are the same.
moritz right
jnthn Yeah, but you may need to know the base type in order to make elements. 10:30
In fact, probably do.
moritz yes
jnthn The code int he World method that sets $!value should just set whatever is passed in though, not re-box.
moritz but it means we can do this order: create enum type object with unknown base type, then look at the first pair, then set the base_type 10:31
jnthn nom: enum A <b c>; say A.^mro
p6eval rakudo 6a660d: OUTPUT«A() Int() Cool() Any() Mu()␤»
jnthn Yes we can.
Additionally...
moritz and only then install the first pair
jnthn Since the enum type always singly inherits from the base type, you can create the enum value by:
1) cloning the value 10:32
2) reblessing it into the enum type
moritz how do I do the reblessing?
I thought we didn't support that :-)
jnthn See Misin.pm
er
Mixin
Sure we do, otherwise we couldn't have does and but ;)
moritz pir::repr_change_type__0PP \o/ 10:33
anyway, lunch first
I hope I'll learn a bit more details about our MOP in the process
jnthn We support it as long as the MRO of the target type has the current type's MRO as its suffix.

masak <jnthn> We support it as long as the MRO of the target type has the current type's MRO as its suffix. 11:39
am I correct in concluding that this means that we allow downcasts (to a deriveder type) but not upcasts (to a baser type). 11:40
s/\./?/
moritz sounds correct
masak hm. perhaps I'm just used to downcasts from Java. but there the distinction between runtime type and static type is made in a way that's not made in Perl 6. 11:45
masak (i.e. you're allowed to downcast if the runtime type of your object is same-or-deriveder than the type you're downcasting to) 11:46
and maybe just as well that downcasts don't work, 'cus they would be a devious way to break object invariants. and we don't need more of those. 11:47
moritz well, the Java downcasts are always just about the static type 11:48
masak right.
moritz I don't think you can actually change the dynamic type of an object
masak good point.
masak so in Perl 6 we're "actually" casting, whereas in Java it's more about changing the type of a pointer. 11:49
moritz at run time, the java cast is actually just a type check 11:51
masak in the case of a downcast, yes.
in the case of an upcast, I don't see why there'd need to be a check.
moritz erm, is there an explicit upcast, ever? 11:52
masak sure there is.
moritz what's the use case?
masak can't think of any, but it's part of the language.
Liskov would suggest that all explicit upcasts are misguided, sure.
moritz I was just about to write that :-) 11:53
masak but there are badly written generic types out there, etc.
writing good generics in Java is hard :/
moritz because of type erasure? 11:53
masak no, because... hm. 11:54
I think it's mostly a syntax thing. plus having to care about covariance and contravariance as a generic API author. 11:55
.NET syntax makes similar situations seem almost trivial, from what I've seen.
s/\.NET/C#/
moritz hm, fudging in the base_type later into an enum doesn't seem to work :( 11:58
it accesses the mro before that
and the mro depends on the base tyep
*type
touch beans.
moritz idly wonders if "tough beans" comes from the Java world
masak public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> void sort(List<T> list) // know why there's both 'extends' and 'super' in a *nested* generic type there? for *sort*? well, I do, and I think it sucks. 11:59
moritz I can see why you need the 'extends' 12:00
moritz but why the 'super'? 12:00
moritz a java noob
masak the 'extends' comes from the fact that you're sorting a list of elements that aren't necessarily Comparable objects (in fact, you can't instantiate Comparable since it's an interface).
the 'super' comes from the fact that the callback .compare used in Comparable takes T values (whatever they are) as parameters. things that take parameters are sinks, and thus contravariant. 12:01
moritz uff 12:02
masak it's all really interesting! but when I explain it to people, their brains explode. :/ I'd prefer to code in a language where it was obvious instead. C# seems to do better on that front.
moritz I see what you mean (re "it sucks")
masak yeah.
notice also how the generic type manages to be *recursive* (it declares and references T). 12:03
saying essentially "the type T must extend the type Comparable which is generic on things that the type T can have as a base type".
masak 's brain asplodes 12:04
moritz the way I understand Liskov, "that the type T can have as a base type" could be replaced by just "T", no?
in a sane programming language, that is :-) 12:05
masak no, that's not the problem. 12:05
generics are a wider concept than covariance and contravariance. simply, generics are invariant by default. 12:06
that's what you get when you write Type<T>
to switch on covariance you do Type<? extends T>. to switch on contravariance you do Type<? super T>. 12:07
so far, it's all good. the only reason it gets messy so far as I can see is that you need to care about those concepts at all.
C# solves it all with some where-clause syntax. much nicer.
then again, C# generics were made with the hindsight of Java generics :) 12:08
moritz can't the compiler know where covariance and where contravariance is required?
masak interesting question. 12:11
I don't know. but it's tied to what you do with the data, so at minimum it's tricky.
masak we like to think that arrays are covariant. i.e. Array[Banana] <: Array[Fruit]. but that's only true for read-only Arrays. 12:14
elsewise you'd be able to upcast the Banana Array to a Fruit Array and insert a Pear.
similarly, write-only arrays are contravariant :P 12:15

moritz well
depends on how you phrase it
you can always throw an exception in a method in a derived class
so the compiler cannot generally enforce Liskov substitutability 12:35
masak right.
moritz but as far as compile time type checks are concerned, nearly all statically typed languages enforce Liskov 12:35
masak as far as compile time type checks *on one single class at a time* are concerned. 12:36
there's this example with a Child <: Person going to a Pediatrist <: Doctor.
and you end up with a situation where you, in statically typed languages, can't make Persons go only to the type of Doctor they were meant to. 12:37

jnthn masak: Your question about casts is odd. repr_change_type isn't casting. If anything, it's a coercion, but in-place. 13:06
masak jnthn: casting, coercion. compare and contrast. 13:07
jnthn Casting changes how you view a reference (and may or may not check that's sane; Java/C# check, C doesn't). 13:09
Coercion actually causes a change in representation. 13:10
[Coke] (writing scheme for parrot!) Hey, we could have used you 12 years ago.
jnthn They are often confused because many C family languages use the same syntax for both.
masak ah. 13:12
jnthn++ # 'splainin'
note that I got pretty close with some of the comments I made (e.g. "all Java does is change the type of a pointer")
jnthn Yeah, though that maybe makes it sound like it's actually mutating something. Whereas in reality it compiles to an "is it OK to proceed" check :) 13:14
masak nodnod. 13:16
[Coke] phenny: tell adu folks in #parrot are interested in your interest in scheme on parrot. (on irc.perl.org) 13:29

KyleHa When I build and spectest Rakudo on OS X, three of the files fail. Is that expected? 15:11
[Coke] spectests are under flux all the time, so that can happen. 15:14
[Coke] can you git blame the files and see if those are new tests? 15:15
[Coke] If so, they need to be fudged. 15:15

TimToady seems
not_gerd TimToady: I also posted gist.github.com/2659460 earlier today, which prints the repeating decimals representation of a Rat 16:32
no idea if such a function is worth adding to the spec... 16:33
TimToady I wrote one of those two days ago :)
not_gerd TimToady: did it detect cycles? 16:34
this version prints the *exact* representation of the rational
TimToady let me dig it up 16:34

adu right now I'd like to see if I can get a RPL going 17:56
if I can do that, then I'd like to fork/transfer but not before
currently my REPL says "Unable to obtain PAST from Regex;Match" 17:57

cz == ch
how do you pronounce Czeck?
moritz the soft ch like in the Scottish 'loch'?
TimToady nyet
diakopter oh 19:01
moritz oh, like the "check"
TimToady knee-eh-cha in tradition English sound-out-ese

jnthn Whenever I see IPA, I parse it as Indian Pale Ale, and then get confused, and then realize...oh yeah...the other IPA.
TimToady keeps wishing there were an offical IPA block in Unicode...
except IPA is a mishmash of everything else 19:04
moritz and where's the official IRA block? :-) 19:04
TimToady that wasn't a rho
or an er, if your name is Cyril 19:05
TimToady H & R Block might provide IRAs to USians... 19:06
sorear When I see IRA, I always parse it initially as Irish Republican Army 19:07
moritz is v1.1 ~~ v0+ 19:08
sorear also, I have tried and failed repeatedly to learn how IPA works
sorear it seems like something I need to learn eventually, bhut it just isn't happening :| 19:08
moritz sorear: re IRA, that's what I meant :-) 19:09
TimToady well, you really can't learn it independently of a phonetics instructor, if you don't know how to make the sounds
TimToady demonstrates an interlabial lateral (known from a tribe in New Guinea) 19:10
TimToady and to learn phonetics you have to spend an inordinate amount of time "unlearning" your mother tongue 19:12

ie $type.new(|@rpa) 19:40
from NQP, that is
how do I do that?
I get
Method 'list' not found for invocant of class 'ResizablePMCArray'
(at least I think that's the problem, not 100% sure yet)
oh wait, I might be wrong 19:41
the problem is probably my stupidity :-)
I did
for @($<vnum>) -> $v { }
but $<vnum> already is an RPA 19:42
now I'm curious if we get through the setting :-) 19:43
otoh there is no version literal in the setting -- why should it blow up while compiling the setting?
ouch 19:44
because version literals LTM-win against the sub call v6-split(...);
even though I wrote it as token version { 'v' { } ... } 19:45
so only the 'v' should LTM
meh, stupid nqp

TimToady colomon: the first diff is a bit inaccurate; the rounding off has nothing to do with the repeating element; it's determined only by the size of the denominator after the integer part is subtracted. 20:41
the only think it has to do with the repeating part is that it rounds if and only if there would be a repeating fraction 20:42
the rest looks good 20:43

colomon Actually, it rounds off if and only if it is not exactly expressible as a finite decimal, right? 20:50
TimToady didn't I just say that? 20:50
only inside out?
colomon you said repeating fraction
oh, right
TimToady not exactly expressible == would be repeating
colomon right, because these are rational 20:51
TimToady++
errr, doesn't that make the text I have correct? I mean, I could add "finite" before "exact decimal"
...
TimToady it doesn't calculating the rounding position based on the repeating position 20:52
*ate
"and rounds off the repeating decimal" seems to suggest that
depending on how you read it 20:53
I can see how it is meant the other way
TimToady it's just ambiguous 20:53
colomon fair enough
is there a way to make a proper link to S32 there? 20:54
TimToady and it doesn't say how it does choose where to round off
colomon TimToady: I was trying to avoid repeating all the rules in S32. :)
TimToady I usually go to the html page and steal from the table of contents for those pages... 20:55
TimToady oh, you mean a proper pod link 20:55
TimToady doesn't know
colomon yes
drat
TimToady everything wants to be rewritten in Pod 6 anyway... 20:56
TimToady s/in Pod 6/ / too 20:56
TimToady and the whole thing could use a reorganization as well 20:57
colomon "Stringifying a rational via C<.gist> 21:00
or C<.Str> returns an exact decimal number if possible, and otherwise rounds
off the repeated decimal based on the number of digits in the fractional
part of numerator." ?
TimToady no, the denominstor 21:06
and it's only the residual denominator after the integer part has been removed and the rat renormalized
maybe that's the same 21:07
TimToady I guess by definition the integer part will be some multiple of the original denominator, so subtracting it out will never cause reduction of the remainder 21:09
anyway, we can just say "based on the size of the denominator"
