Set by sorear on 4 February 2011.
araujo is there exist a substitution operator or something? 03:51
PerlJam araujo: subst? 04:01
araujo PerlJam, I was searching for replacing a pattern (substr is for index right?) 04:02
PerlJam not substr, subst 04:03
PerlJam Give me a minute to finish this email on my DNS woes and I'll conjur an example 04:05
araujo hehe thanks PerlJam 04:07
PerlJam r: "This is my string".subst(/string/, "fish"); 04:10
p6eval rakudo dca0fa: ( no output )
PerlJam oops
r: say "This is my string".subst(/string/, "fish");
p6eval rakudo dca0fa: OUTPUT«This is my fish␤»
PerlJam r: say "This is my string".subst(:g, /is/, "at"); 04:11
p6eval rakudo dca0fa: OUTPUT«That at my string␤»
araujo thanks PerlJam++ 04:14
:)
PerlJam, I thought the s/pattern/replacement/ syntax was supported before? 04:15
PerlJam oh, it is ... 04:16
r: my $a = "This is my string"; $a ~~ s:g/is/at/; say $a;
p6eval rakudo dca0fa: OUTPUT«That at my string␤»
PerlJam There's also an assignment syntax that looks interesting ... 04:19
r: $_ = "hello"; s[h] = "j"; .say
p6eval rakudo dca0fa: OUTPUT«jello␤»
araujo I was missing the :g there
:P
hehe 04:20
nice
though probably subst will suit better here 04:22
:)
moritz good morning 04:29
sisar \o 04:31
japhb o/ 04:42
I've been snowed under by a big $day_job project, so haven't been able to backlog -- any big news from the last couple weeks? 04:43
moritz japhb: rakudo had quite some new features in its compiler release. sorear is going to rewrite parts of niecza in C# (currently p6) 04:44
sorear japhb: sorear's classes have ended for the term and ey will be able to spend much more time on perl6 04:46
japhb moritz, Oooh, cool. Fetching the release announcement ... 04:48
sorear, Ah, excellent! What parts are you rewriting, and why? (/me guessing "performance" ...)
sorear japhb: Complicated reasons. Performance is only part of the story 04:53
it might help performance
japhb Oh? This is really peaking my interest now. Do you have your plans written down somewhere, or a good log link to read? 04:54
moritz, wow, you're right, that is quite the impressive ChangeLog. (The release announcement undersells it considerably, if you ask me.) 04:56
moritz well, we only ever pick 3 to 6 items out of the changelog for the release announcement 05:00
sorear japhb: Plans are in flux. So far, everyone who has asked has gotten a different answer.
japhb: Where is the changelog? 05:03
japhb moritz, Hmmm. That seems kindof restrictive. I mean, I understand wanting a zoomable level of detail, and the release announcement can easily be the most "zoomed out" LOD, but a big release is a big release, and deserves a little fanfare.
sorear, *chuckle*
sorear, For Rakudo? docs/ChangeLog
sorear, so I guess even if plans are in flux, I'm still curious what the basic motivation is? Why convert high-level code to low-level code (or medium-level, if you prefer), when the project will remain mixed-level, if not for performance? (I can imagine a couple possibilities, but they seem a bit out there.) 05:05
Hmmm. Trying to catch up via 'git log' is an exercise in confusion. Too many commits with messages like "first hacky shot at foo" or "beginning to implement bar", without any detail about what does and doesn't work. Of course, I bet I'm guiilty of doing the very same thing. :-/ 05:08
(That was regarding the Rakudo 'git log', not niecza) 05:09
sorear japhb: The only reason to have modules in a high level language is to save hassle, and... I don't think that's happening 05:16
I feel like far too much of my time is going in to keeping the bootstrap and various glue layers working
japhb sorear, ah, so rewriting sections of mixed code to single-layer code mostly for maintainability and reduced effort in future iterations? 05:18
sorear japhb: yes 05:20
TimToady made disappointed comments. I am unsure what to make of them. 05:21
TimToady just wishes that p6 would be as mature as C# :) 05:22
sorear also 05:23
japhb Hmmm. I can understand the disappointment. It's an interesting data point -- and will be more interesting when you get enough done to see if your hunch was correct. :-)
sorear because the niecza compiler is perl6, it needs to be compiled using an older version of niecza 05:24
but niecza versions are tightly coupled to runtime versions, so the compiler process needs two runtime libraries loaded
and both the compiler and the user code have independant settings with independant systems of types 05:25
there are four places data can exist during compilation
by moving to pure C# and eliminating the bootstrap, there will only be two places for data to exist
which means less code dedicated to shuffling data around without doing meaningful operations on it 05:26
TimToady maybe if we designed a 05:27
VM that was specifically for Perl 6...oh wait... 05:28
bonsaikitten TimToady: maybe one could make it a bit more generic so it could run other bytecode-oriented things? :)
TimToady there's an idea
let's start with an object-oriented assembly language 05:29
what could possibly go wrong? :D
sorear meh, someone tried that already, didn't work well enough for my tastes 05:36
:)
bonsaikitten TimToady: hmm, maybe an abstract assembler like MIX / MMIX ? 05:37
japhb sorear, ah yes, I believe I understand the problem. It will be interesting to see how that attempted simplification turns out. 05:51
sorear it seems the largest proportion of the problems exist when compiling the setting, so I could also try eliminating the setting instead... that's less p6 code 05:59
sorear The worst part of all of this is that I feel like a bad person for even entertaining the idea 06:10
japhb sorear, I understand the feeling, but I suspect the reality will be more nuanced: You're probably going to end up discovering all the ways that this is *not* as simplifying as it sounds. Which I think will be really valuable data, both for other implementers and for possible tweaks to the language or setting. 06:39
masak morning, #perl6 06:41
phenny masak: 21 May 22:41Z <diakopter> tell masak see the r: LTA errors in irclogs

sorear masak: s.=flip is not an actual Perl 6 feature, it only exists in niecza at the moment 06:57
masak something about assignment to s[] makes me inexplicably giddy.
sorear: you mean the spec doesn't actually state or imply that .= should work there?
sorear std: s[\W] .= perl 06:58

 07:12
jnthn Q. How do you know a Star release is in progress? A. At least one "oops, I forgot to update this piece of duplicated information" commit flies by. 07:14
moritz++ for getting started on it :)
jnthn really thinks we need something that takes a bit more of the manual work out of producing Star releases. 07:15
masak looks for, but doesn't find, the "YA THINK" rage face 07:17
er, "YA THINK?"
sorear gist.github.com/2767337 I am now swapping 07:28
sorear goads masak into asking probing questions. 07:30
masak don't feel dirty. cheating is technique. :)
I don't have any probing questions. I just think it's an interesting direction. might yield some advantages that we don't see right now. 07:31
sorear masak: yeah, I also think that since Rakudo is moving towards bootstrapping, Niecza moving away would help explore design space 07:36
masak exactly. 07:39
moritz "The setting is not compiled, it's all C# code: How will bounded serialization cope with version skew then? 07:44
"
which version skew?
tadzik: is ufobuilder gone? 07:46
seems like 07:47
dalek ar: 9619c1b | moritz++ | skel/tools/build/Makefile.in:
ufobuilder is gone

do not try to install it anymore
Woodi hallo 07:50
masak Woodi! \o/ 07:52
Woodi perl6 -v gives 'This is perl6 version 2012.04.1 built on parrot 4.3.0 revision 0'. Would be nice if it say 'Star' somewhere, at least it is helpful for me...
masak huh. ufobuilder. the things people come up with... :) 07:52
masak ufo is meant as a tool for developers. it's not for end users of a module. 07:53
moritz Woodi: I've opened github.com/rakudo/star/issues/7 for you
Woodi btw. backlogging yesterday evening makes me think we starting to be short on goals, clearly visible goals... 07:54
moritz: thanx :)
moritz I can't speak for everybody, but I have very clear goals
masak well, depends what you mean. 07:55
Woodi masak: ufo is realy usable, simple and clean to use tool...
masak it could be argued that at some point, we should do a similar kind of thrust and goal-picking as with Star in 2009.
sorear btw, tomorrow I'm going to draft a letter to Mark Overmeer, if noone beats me to it 07:56
masak ++sorear
moritz sorear: on what topic?
masak Woodi: heh! ufo is bloated with featuritis and probably does about twice of what it should :) 07:57
moritz ... except for the really interesting things :(
sorear moritz: having cpan6.org redirect to modules.perl.org or something else
Woodi but gets works done in few secs :)
moritz in particular, it doesn't get dependencies right
masak moritz: intra-module dependencies?
moritz masak: yes 07:58
masak do you have a concrete example?
moritz in JSON::Tiny, when I edit Grammar.pm, Tiny.pm doesn't get recompiled on 'make test''
though now that I think of it, my Makefile might be old. Lemme re-check 07:59
Woodi btw. my problems on segfaulting with blib/* on OpenBSD gone now and I think it probably was too long patch for gmake or something...
sorear I have been informed by a friend of mine (who is possibly going to try to hire me next week) that cpan6.org and Overmeer is currently one of the loudest voices visible from outside the p6-bubble, and is sending an unintentionally negative message 08:00
moritz that's interesting to hear 08:01
masak yes, very.
sorear gist updated with some new thoughts 08:05
sorear another thought which is crossing my mind is, how feasible would it be to eliminate the C# globals like Kernel.IntMO and force all boxing to go through something less direct? 08:13
sorear towards the question of "how little hell can break loose if two COREs are allowed to coexist in a compartment?" 08:15
eh. sleep&
masak 'night, sorear. 08:18
dream of heading in yet-untried directions.
kresike hello all you happy people ! 08:30
masak kresike! \o/ 08:36
kresike masak, o/
tadzik moritz: yes, I removed it 08:48
masak: ufobuilder was a PoC Pies implementation 08:49
masak ok. 08:53
masak is finally backlogged 08:57
next time I'm away, I'd appreciate it if everyone refrained from speaking so much. :P
masak .oO( was it something I said...? ) 09:08
kresike masak, you either sleep less, or put a borg implant in your head and be here while sleeping :) 09:09
masak that sounds fantastic. 09:11
kresike .oO( when does this masak character find time to write books about perl6 if he's online and working on developing it all the time ? ) 09:12
masak metaphors related to time are odd. you neither "have time" or "find time". it keeps flowing through you, like a stream-based database, or the twitter firehose. 09:14
the only thing you can do is "seize the day". :)
kresike One whole day ? That's a lot of time ... 09:16
Can't you "seize" say an hour or just a few minutes ?
masak you can seize any free contiguous period of time for any purpose. 09:18
I hope everyone has seen rjbs.manxome.org/rubric/entry/1959 -- HN thread: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4006150 09:19
moritz rjbs++ 09:23
Woodi can someone blog about latest Star ? there are things I have _no_idea_ how to sort them :) my list: lib.pm, roundrobin, how to use tag names, use with positional, why Real must be role, version literals. or maybe 2 blogs ? :) 09:42
masak sounds worthwhile. 09:43
sounds like something we should do on a regular basis, actually. 09:44
moritz fwiw I've can't remeber ever needing roundrobin 09:45
I simply implemented it because it's in the specs and in the tests
masak roundrobin sounds a bit like "oh, but someone might want *this* semantics that we didn't put into infix:<Z>" -- "who, exactly?" -- *waves hands* 09:54
moritz aye 09:55

masak moritz++ 12:08
pmichaud phenny: tell timtoady how strongly do you feel about RT #113026 (irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2012-05-21#i_5619358). I thought about it some overnight, and auto-detecting modifications to the array during iteration seems contrary to immutable iterators. 12:10
phenny pmichaud: I'll pass that on when timtoady is around.
felher Rakudo iterators are immutable? How does that work? Instead of asking a iterator to increment its position, i ask for a new iterator which has a higher position? 12:15
moritz well, they are immutable in the sense that whenever you ask for an iterator, you'll get an iterator that will return the same elements each time 12:16
it doesn't mean they are actual value types that never change internally
masak right. "immutability as far as you are concerned" might be a more exact description. ;) 12:17
felher Ah, makes sense :) thnx
pmichaud the case I'm wondering about it something like
moritz remebers "that" session in Oslo :-) 12:18
pmichaud r: my @a = <a b c d e f>; for @a { @a[9] = 'j'; .say };
p6eval rakudo dca0fa: OUTPUT«a␤b␤c␤d␤e␤f␤»
pmichaud the only way the 'for' iterator can learn about the 'j' is if it first passes through the 'lazy' part of the array somehow. 12:19
moritz more indirection, even slower? 12:20
pmichaud essentially, yes. 12:20
masak smiles happily at the output of 'panda list' 12:21
pmichaud in some sense it would mean that arrays and lists never are truly "fully generated", if there's always the possibility that pushing elements needs to affect existing iterators.
anyway, afk for a bit -- @kids to @school 12:22
masak pmichaud, moritz: ISTR a p6l thread from years back where it was basically decided that for loops did a snapshot and looped on that.
I don't trust my search-fu enough to find that thread again, sadly.
moritz lol, p6l :-)

Juerd Two packages. Oh my.

masak well, software engineering has expanded in the past few decades into a space where identifiers can breathe properly. 13:09
moritz afaict in rakudo we still look up variables by name quite a bit 13:10
so your programs actually do use less resources if you use short variable names :-)
masak pfeh.
felher *lol*
masak in other news, if you take shallower breaths, the air will last longer. 13:10
recommended practice is to hyperventilate really rapidly. 13:11
moritz I wonder if that one is actually true
moritz (the shallower breathing, not the hyperventilating) 13:11
masak I have no idea. 13:12
if it helps for the analogy, take something that's obviously true: toothpaste, even when used once, works even the day after. so you can save it in a small cup and save some resources! 13:13
only need to buy half as much toothpaste. 13:14
moritz well, I never said it's a good idea to use short variables, or that the savings are big :-)
masak I know, I know.
:)
brrt moritz: thats probably not true (about the shallower breaths) 13:45
masak indeed. feels like hyperventilating would use up oxygen faster, not slower. 13:46
moritz brrt: yes, I guess the body just takes what oxygen it needs. If it can't, you'll become unconscious pretty quickly
brrt supposing you still breathe enough for normal metabolism, you'll simply exhale relatively more co2
hyperventilating makes you dizzy because it makes the blood less acidic 13:47
not much to do with o2, a lot with co2
anyway, rant off :-) 13:48
masak interesting.
masak I was once told that air in a room with people and no ventilation feels "used up" not because the o2 runs out, but because it becomes somewhat saturated with co2. 13:49
moritz yes, c02 becomes poisonous for the human body much faster than the O2 reduction becomes threatening
benabik Your body has basically no way to measure oxygen... It kinda guesses based on CO2 levels. 13:50
You learn a lot about gas exchange and the like when you do SCUBA. 13:51
moritz it has to do with the bindinig affinity of Hemoglobin to O2 and C02
and because CO has such a high affinity, it's toxic

masak they've been here for years! o.O
cognominal_: how is it an epic failure? (not challenging this, just curious) 14:15
isBEKaml bah, #perl6 is all 1 and 0s
moritz cognominal_: is it? (genomics being an epic failure fighting diseases)
cognominal_: got any more material about that? 14:16
isBEKaml moritz: I think he's referring to the whole genome sequencing exercise than the attempt to tackle diseases.
moritz cognominal_: I kinda thought that it helped a lot, albeit indirectly (ie helped understanding some biochemstry, which then in turn lead to better medication)
isBEKaml moritz: not that genome sequencing has been a failure, it's just too complex to be tackled by a select group of people, even as they are competent at what they do. 14:17
moritz I know that some people said things along the lines of "once we got the human genome sequenced, we can just identify all diseases and engineer medications for them" 14:18
brrt i kind of agree with the genomics statement
cognominal_ moritz: that's the point. It has been sold as solving problems when it is just a precondition to solve them.
brrt people in the 90s believed that if they knew the whole genome they would know all diseases

cognominal_ moritz: reading stuff like www.spiegel.de/international/world/...4,00.html, it seems that genomics will help design synthetic cells to replace huge factories we currenly used to produce many molecules. 14:29

phenny TimToady: 12:10Z <pmichaud> tell TimToady how strongly do you feel about RT #113026 (irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2012-05-21#i_5619358). I thought about it some overnight, and auto-detecting modifications to the array during iteration seems contrary to immutable iterators.
TimToady phenny: tell pmichaud I feel pretty strongly, but I think I don't want as much as you guys think I want. You can read a file that is growing, and it only matters when you hit the current end, no the end when you started. Buffering is fine, snapshotting existing elements is fine. Just go back and see if it has grown when you hit the end. 15:34
phenny TimToady: I'll pass that on when pmichaud is around.
TimToady phenny: tell pmichaud It's only one extra check for any array that hasn't grown. Arrays and lists can both be defined lazily; the issue isn't immutability here, but policy toward changing your mind; the API disallows it with a list, but changing existing elements of an iterating array is merely erroneous. 15:38
phenny TimToady: I'll pass that on when pmichaud is around.
Woodi :wq 15:47
hugme hugs Woodi, good vi(m) user!
TimToady phenny: tell pmichaud I think this is an area where a tagmemic "you can use an array as a list" is warranted; it's a relatively cheap check; it enables a bit more cargo-cult learning (a Perl feature, you'll recall); and it preserves the abstract idea of the array's identity longer 15:48
phenny TimToady: I'll pass that on when pmichaud is around.
PerlJam TimToady: so, changing at the end is okay, but not in the middle? 15:59

SDKLive ok
that means its getting better monthly.. 16:10
sisar SDKLive: it is incorrect to say perl6 has been released or not, it is more correct to say if a compiler has been released or not, since there are multiple compilers for perl6
eg. rakudo, niecza, pelrito, pugs, etc. 16:11

every compiler will have different purpose

flussence (I vaguely recall a conversation after key types were added mentioning Hash.perl was lacking...) 19:34
diakopter PerlJam: well, I think those comments are very representative of popular opinion/perception.
colomon sure, but popular opinion doesn't have a clue... 19:35
diakopter I'm not sure I agree with that 19:36
colomon Well, let me put it like this: *I* am currently doing real world productive work using Perl 6. 19:37
diakopter the first negative-toned comment I see asserts that widespread adoption is a long ways off. 19:38
that one could be argued until it happens; no one really knows. 19:39
the next negative comment asserts that Perl 6's major failing is breaking backwards compatibility. 19:40
colomon Actually, as much as anything I'm complaining about chromatic here: "no implementation is anywhere close to practically useful." 19:41
diakopter however, it assumes that breaking backwards compatability also implies the lack of ability to use Perl 5 CPAN modules. As pugs clearly demonstrated, that's not necessarily true.
moritz www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=971823 19:43
diakopter The next one says "I do want perl 6 -- I'm just not holding my breath for it to be usable very soon for real-world projects. ... perl 6, which has been almost-usable-for-real-work for 5 years."
PerlJam moritz++ 19:45
diakopter That's definitely debatable depending on your definition of real-world projects. If you need threads, you can't use rakudo. If you can't/won't use Mono or .NET (like chromatic), you can't use niecza.
flussence is he a "can't" or a "won't"? :) 19:46
diakopter won't
maybe can't too, I don't know
moritz he has license/patents concerns
(as if parrot didn't infringe any patents...) 19:47
diakopter The next complains/asserts that Perl 6 is too big to ever complete. This is certainly true by the definition of the full spec as written, as TimToady recently said on channel, but for a 1.0.0 release of the Synopses, it's not true, as that will happen sometime. 19:48
PerlJam I'm not sure that participating in such discussions is helpful nor do I believe rehashing them here is helpful. I think "no one from #perl6 participating" was and is the right move. 19:49
diakopter The next asserts that multiple implementations cause confusion. This is true, and unfortunate.
Why is it not helpful to rehash them here? In order to respond to assertions/perception, analyzing them is required. 19:50

diakopter chromatic complains that Rakudo wants VM-independence, implying that it's impossible for him to understand why. What's wrong with the obvious explanation - independence from parrot? 19:52
PerlJam diakopter: perhaps I'm just tired.
diakopter: chromatic doesn't see the need for "all the extra work" or something like that. 19:53
flussence random unrelated question - I found myself writing ":.method" the other day hoping it'd produce :method($_.method), but it doesn't. Is there any DRY-ish way to do that?
diakopter he doesn't think it's worth it. he thinks investing the effort in improving parrot would be time better spent. 19:54
diakopter next, 3 refreshingly positive comments about Perl 6 from different folks. 19:56
pmurias diakopter: chromatic refuses to use a Perl6 on either the JVM or .NET
pmurias diakopter: so he doesn't see the point for VM independence 19:56
diakopter pmurias: that's a good point, too. 19:57
PerlJam flussence: I don't think so. 19:58
moritz flussence: I don't think so either, and so far I haven't had a use case for it 20:00
flussence: usually if you want to call method .foo to fill a named parameter :foo, going through .capture and/or signature unpacking might (mind you, I said "might") be an option 20:01
diakopter the next comment says "Ultimate glue? That's why I'm interested in Perl 6. It's supposed to be able call C/C++ library functions directly. No more need for wrapper libraries, which is the majority of CPAN. No need for SWIG, which I find bloated." ... which makes me quizzical
pmurias diakopter: why quizzical? 20:03
diakopter the next comment is based on a misunderstanding about Perl 6 deprecating and supplanting perl.exe. Probably also a common misconception.
pmurias: I didn't realize such capability was a spec'd feature
pmurias diakopter: it's not 20:04
flussence bleh, messing with signatures is too complicated. I'll just do it the long way :)
felher diakopter++ #for doing the work and posting the interesting, perl6 related post here :)
diakopter pmurias: that's all I'm saying - that I didn't think it was spec'd, even if it's available on rakudo.
they said "supposed to", which I interpreted as "spec'd" 20:05
diakopter the next assertion says in part "The '-e' of Perl 6 will probably stay so slow that it will not be as useful as Perl 5 as a simple tool for small tasks." 20:06
that remains to be seen, imho. It takes a lot of work to optimize that much. 20:07
moritz well, it'll be very hard to beat p5 at startup time
moritz python, ruby and php have a much larger startup time, which is a more realistic target 20:08

felher Strings are immutable, right? So "class C { has Str $.foo }" doesn't allow someone outside of the class to change anything about $.foo? 20:12
masak felher: right, but not for the reason you give. 20:14
felher: it's because you didn't make the attribute accessor 'is rw'.

felher masak: well, yeah. Str needs to be immuteable and $.foo must not be 'is rw'. If Str isn't immutable there might be a function .convert-to-upper-case, which changes $.foo, even though $.foo isn't 'is rw' :) 20:16
geekosaur sisar, "Non-zero wait status: 139" means it segfaulted
the other error actually follows from that since the test framework didn't get a chance to run and therefore didn't output the expected TAP-formatted information 20:17
sisar geekosaur: oh. How can I debug segfaults ?
geekosaur uhhhh
masak felher: troo. Str objects are immutable in that sense, yes. the only way to "change" a Str is to get a new one. 20:18

sisar on Ubuntu
moritz one problem is that we kinda conflate containers and values 20:21
when you write sub inplace(Str $x is rw) { }
then that can only bind to a scalar container containing a Str
but we never mention that container in the signature
moritz or phrased differently, the containers aren't really first-class citizens, in the sense that we usually try hard to hide them 20:23
which works great most of the time, except that it confuses everybody when it comes to mutating containers that hold immutable values
felher I just think of 'is rw' as passing a pointer to the pointer, instead of a pointer to the object. So the pointer the passed pointer points to may be changed :) This works most of the time. 20:28
masak felher: actually, there are still unresolved difficulties in that area. 20:29
I wish we could resolve them satisfactorily. but it seems real tricky.
felher masak: difficulties such as? 20:30
masak let's see if I can remember them.
the spec says that readonly array variables are readonly "one level deep". that is, you can't push etc to the array itself; nor can you twiddle with its elements. 20:31
mj41_ hi, P5-to-P6 question: $self->SUPER::some_method() in P6 ?

mj41_ masak: thanks 20:32
masak did that help? oh, good.
moritz you can also write self.Explict::Class::Name::method()
masak oh, I thought that was just for roles.
moritz works for superclasses too, iirc 20:33
TimToady but don't, use nextsame instead

masak neither does niecza.
there's a reason for that; it's tricky. :)
masak the same kind of trickiness shows up when you want to mark an array attribute as readonly, and its elements should also be, and one level down. 20:36
masak felher: you'll note that @x in the above isn't readonly at all (and that's correct), but @a is readonly, because it's a parameter. but they're *the same array object*, which is where the tricky sits. 20:37
so somehow that indicates the need for a level of indirection of some sort -- a *view* of an array that can be readonly. 20:38
but it's not allowed to get in the way. it has to be entirely transparent to use.
moritz lichtkind: in the tablets it says multiple times that there are "no more references" in Perl 6, but they keep appearing everywhere in the text
felher masak: yeah, i see. Thanks a lot for that explanation :)
masak felher: and here the paths end. I wish we would solve this, because it's a bit embarrassing that the spec says one thing and we implement another. but it's like we want to but can't, because no-one's figgered out how. 20:39
masak in fact, this was a bit tricky to get right for scalars, too. but a few iterations we have it right, thanks to pmichaud++ and probably jnthn++ too. 20:40
diakopter mind is boggled by s3.amazonaws.com/apple-campus2-pro...ittal3.pdf
masak s/a few iterations/a few iterations later/
felher Hm... this makes me wonder. Is Scalar a class too? Just as Array is a class for @? 20:41
Woodi just writed something, maybe it can help ? 79.187.154.250/ I hope, it is accessible...
moritz felher: it is, but usually you don't see it
felher: because the Scalar container forwards basically all methods to its contents, even .WHAT 20:42
sergot good night o/
felher moritz: Ah, okay. I think i'd find it quite hard to grok if it were not :) 20:43
s/if it were not/if there isn't something like Scalar for scalars/ 20:44
masak [backlog] what does "tagmemic" mean, really? 20:49
I usually google these things, but something tells me I might get a better answer by asking. 20:50
the humoristic effect of www.corsinet.com/braincandy/hlife.html seems to rest on the fact that it's hard to read according to the premise of the first paragraph. 20:52
for somebody who is perfectly able to take the first paragraph at its word, it's a rather unremarkable, pointless, repetitive story :) 20:53
au also, "S got angry about that because it was E's job" was kinda non sequitur. :) 20:57

jnthn sisar: If you put a breakpoint on that error, and can get it to fire, the call stack may well mean something to me. 22:06
sisar ok, i'll try to get a calltrace.
masak 'night, #perl6 22:07
jnthn sisar: OK. Please gist it if you do 22:08
I'm teaching tomorrow so must go and sleep very soon.
sisar jnthn: sure.
jnthn OK, thanks :) 22:10
jnthn -> sleep
PerlJam masak: I don't know if I could give you an honest recollection any more. For instance, I do remember hearing/reading about the coffee mug incident as if it happened in "legendary" style. ("Jon Orant smashed a coffee mug and we all stopped arguing then he said 'blah blah blah'") But then I also remember hearing about how many coffee mugs were actually involved and how much forethought went into the whole thing. 22:11
sorear orwant 22:16
PerlJam aye, that guy :)
sisar well before i run `gdb perl6` don't i need to compile pler6 for gdb-debugging first? Hoq do I do that? 22:33
sisar *perl6 22:33
*How
diakopter sisar: I think I heard somewhere it's the default 22:34
maybe I'm wrong
sisar diakopter: ok.
sisar diakopter: familiar with gdb ? 22:35
diakopter no :(
sisar no problem.
diakopter: nqp is also "compiled" for gdb-debugging ? 22:36
diakopter I don't know. I just remember others being instructed to try using gdb, and nothing was mentioned about special builds of parrot, nqp, or rakudo 22:37
sisar diakopter: ok. 22:38
sisar afk 22:39
benabik Parrot builds with debugging by default and nqp/Rakudo use the same options as Parrot. 22:40
diakopter memory didn't fail me for once 22:41
phenny: tell sisar < benabik> Parrot builds with debugging by default and nqp/Rakudo use the same options as Parrot. 22:45
phenny diakopter: I'll pass that on when sisar is around.
