sisar pmichaud: Why put language design questions in a questions.txt? I used to think that the perl6-language mailing list was made for exactly this purpose. Please correct me if I'm wrong (or unnecessary bikeshedding :-) ) 03:50
moritz sisar: unnecessary bikeshedding is exactly the problem 04:37
sisar moritz: oh, ok. Sorry. 04:38
moritz sisar: you ask perl6-language for a small detail, and some the answers want to turn perl 6 into a pure functional language
sisar: p6l hasn't realized yet to which degree Perl 6 has actually progressed yet. And that makes it very tiresome to consult 04:39
sisar moritz: remember my 10-bits of storage problem? I just realised, that it is most probably not possible because of the minimum word size of the computer's architecture. What you can get is only multiple of the word size. 05:17
Well, not unless the architecture has bit addressable registers. 05:18
hm, does Parrot have bit-addressable registers ?
moritz nope
benabik It has bitwise operators. 05:19
pmichaud sisar: I put things in questions.txt because it's really easy for email threads to be forgotten over time. 05:20
also, these are things that I suspect TimToady (or others) can answer quickly. If it needs discussion, that can happen here or on perl6-language. 05:21
sisar pmichaud: maks sense :) 05:22
pmichaud also, istr that commits to perl6/specs are sent to perl6-language, so in a sense the questions *did* go there :) 05:23
sisar *makes
pmichaud if someone on perl6-language feels a need to discuss a question, they can start a thread :)
sisar r: say Real.^mro; 05:24
p6eval rakudo 9394f7: OUTPUT«Real() Any() Mu()␤»
sisar that ^ looks wrong.
should'nt that be: Real() Cool() Any() Mu() ?
pmichaud Real is a role. 05:25
I suspect that something could be Real without having to be Cool.
(a custom Real type, for example).
sisar r: say Real ~~ Cool ; 05:28
p6eval rakudo 9394f7: OUTPUT«True␤»
sisar what does the ~~ operator tell me here ?
moritz pmichaud: fwiw I'm pretty sure that the answer to Q2 is a trait on infix:<+>
sisar: type conformance
pmichaud: 1) remember TimToady saying that 2) you really want only one such warning for for 1..10 { 1 + $_; 1l } 05:29
not 10
3) performance considerations
sisar moritz: what do you mean by "type conformance"?
pmichaud moritz: I'm fine with that; we just need to name the trait then?
moritz sisar: if you have a sub f(Real $x) { }; then you can pass any argument to &f whos type conforms to Real 05:30
sisar: ie does the Real role, or has the role mixed in, or inherits from type that conforms to Real
pmichaud: aye
pmichaud: we need some kind of purity annotation for constant folding anyway 05:31
pmichaud moritz: yes, but that's slightly different because one can find the dispatch candidate from the constant. 05:32
in the case of 1 + $_ we can't know the candidate, so the trait ends up on the proto sub. It also means that there's not a easy way to declare a &infix:<+> candidate that doesn't warn about sink context.
moritz I think it's fine to stick with a per-proto trait for both purposes 05:33
you're not supposed to add an infix:<+> candidate that does significant side effects (like, besides warning) 05:34
pmichaud anyway, feel free to update questions.txt with that answer if you're confident of it. I think you've convinced me, at any rate :) 05:35
sisar r: my Real $x; $x = 2i; 05:37
p6eval rakudo 9394f7: OUTPUT«Type check failed in assignment to '$x'; expected 'Real' but got 'Complex'␤ in block <anon> at /tmp/stCiquysMj:1␤␤»
sisar ok, what is the difference between a Role and a Type ? A type is internally a Class ?
pmichaud afk, sleep 05:38
moritz sisar: classes are types, and roles are types
sisar: enums are also types
a type is a pretty broad concept
sisar moritz: the tree on strangelyconsistent.org/blog/june-24-2011-types, what would you call it? "Type hierarchy" ? "Role hierarchy" ? or something else ? 05:40
sisar is really confused right now 05:41
dalek ecs: 9abc8f2 | moritz++ | questions.txt:
[questions] answer Q2 by pmichaud++
moritz sisar: all of those are classes, so it's a class hierarchy 05:42
sisar but i don't know what is it which is confusing me :/
moritz erm wait
Bool is an enum
so, a type hierarchy
sisar moritz: thanks for explaining. But ... I'm still confused, not sure about what. It looks like I need to think more about it. I'll be back with more questions :-) 05:44
benabik Type systems are a fascinating topic. Really have captured my interested in college... We'll see if my PhD thesis ends up in that area or somewhere else. 05:49
block hi perl6! I have a nqp compile problem. about invoke() not implemented in class...any idea? 05:58
moritz block: several people have had such problems, but sadly none of the core developers has been able to reproduce or fix it 06:00
block moritz:oh ? that's too bad. 06:01
moritz block: are you on a 32 bit system? 06:04
block moritz:yes.archlinux 32
moritz that seems to be common to most (but not all) the people who've had this error 06:07
block moritz:any suggestion?
or just waiting? 06:08
moritz block: talk to jnthn when he shows up; maybe he has some ideas what to ask for 06:10
block moritz:thanks! keep waiting for the good news. bye! 06:11
sisar benabik, others: can you suggest me any good papers/thesis/books/monographs, on type systems? If it is programming language agnostic, much better. 06:36
benabik sisar: In part that depends on what your background is. Type systems are part of (and I'd say core to) the broader topic of programming language theory. I could probably dig up a few references, but they'd be very theoretical and you'd have to be fairly comfortable with logic and proofs. 06:38
This is the notes from the class I took on the topic: www.cs.rit.edu/~mtf/teaching/20101/...douts.html Works up from fairly basic steps, but is somewhat dense. 06:40
I seem to recall the handouts being very useful on their own.
sisar benabik: oh, is it like basic CompSci? Ok, then i'll ask my Computer Science friends for good textbooks. 06:41
benabik Oh. The notes require a login now. That's new.
sisar benabik: yeah, login required :/ 06:42
benabik sisar: Sorry, it didn't when I took it. Or perhaps just doesn't on campus. Who knows. 06:43
sisar benabik: no problem. :-)
benabik sisar: It's basic graduate Computer Science... But undergrad is mostly a lot of programming. :-D
I'd consider it a good intro point to the science of computing.
There is a fair amount online about the Lambda Calculus and the Simply Typed Lamba Calculus, which are the intro points to the theory. 06:44
sisar oh, Lambda Calculus! i've heard about this devil :p 06:45
benabik The lambda calculus is one of the simpler models to use to think about computation. I wouldn't suggest it as a real language. :-D 06:46
But if you add some interesting type stuff to it, you get most of the current functional languages like Haskell and ML.
sisar i was looking for a much less mathematically/logic oriented topic but I guess I'll give it a try. 06:47
sorear type systems and type theory are not quite the same thing
benabik Well you can look into the practical side of type systems. I just find the theory fascinating. :-D
If you understand why you need type systems, you can figure out how they work much easier. :-) 06:48
sorear tyupe theory is the fuzzy border region between theoretical compsci and hardcore metamathematics
sisar "The guy ask for understanding classes/roles etc, and you throw at him the whole of type system and type theory". Quite overwhelming, I'd say.
benabik Theoretical CS is basically a branch of math.
sisar :p
sorear the stuff of which goedel's theorems are the tip of the iceberg
sisar *asked 06:49
benabik sisar: Sorry, it's what I find interesting.
sorear actually it's a three-way border point. philosophers love this stuff too.
benabik You can find more practical stuff in compiler books and references.
sisar benabik: I was just kidding :-)
sorear the epistemology of formal logic
benabik sorear: My professor has a good explanation of how formal logics map 1:1 to type systems. Although not all type systems give a useful logic system. 06:50
sisar: Well, you seemed to want to know "what a type is" and well... the STLC is a decent way to understand that, I think. Although I'll admit what I find simple isn't always what others do... 06:51
That's the problem with higher learning. You become incapable of talking to those outside your field.
sorear benabik: i've used coq 06:55
sisar benabik: i'm majoring in electrical science, so yes Comp Science is not my subject per se, but it is fascinating me more day by day
sorear sisar: 'type' is an inherently fuzzy concept.
sisar: if you wanted to be precise you could probably find a dozen different but strangely consistant concepts that are refered to in the specs by that name 06:56
sisar sorear: Just by saying that you have solved some of my confusion! The word 'type' is overloaded and fuzzy, aye aye. 06:57
sorear for instance, there are type constraints, which are gadgets that can recognize a passed value as appropriate or inappropriate for a variable or parameter
benabik sorear: Building a type system from a logic made sense to me. The other way around took some stretching of mental muscles.
sisar lunch & 06:58
benabik lunch... Hm. I would probably be rambling far less if it was near lunchtime instead of well past bedtime. :-/ 06:59
sorear a type object is any undefined value other than a failure 07:00
a packageoid (no generally recognized name) is something that is created by 'package', 'module', 'class', 'role', or 'grammar'
a STable is a kind of object, in the most basic sense; every object in rakudo and niecza refers to a STable for everything except attribute values 07:02
sorear by default, every STable is associated with exactly one packageoid and exactly one type object; they can be decoupled for extensibility situations 07:03
the most basic sense of a type, from which the others ultimately spring, is that of a classification of values 07:06
however, types are fuzzy and flexible, they can and do get used in ways that are not directly related to classifying values 07:07

pmichaud yes, that could do it; especially since we recently bumped up parrot's "maximum recursion limit". 14:47
good morning, #perl6
[Coke] pmichaud: hey! check out that ticket. you might have fixed it. ;) 14:48
it got up over 9000.
pmichaud I'm not sure what "fix" means in this context, though.
[Coke] (early version died <200 or so.) 14:49
pmichaud: I was trying to see if an exception was thrown.
is there a way to reduce the recursion limit from perl6?
pmichaud I'm certain one is thrown; I don't know if/how it gets caught.
pir::getinterp__P().recursion_limit(1000); # back to parrot's default 14:50
[Coke] I'll set it even lower. ;)
what does that function return? the previous limit? 14:51
pmichaud we'd have to check parrot for that.
(or just print whatever it returns)
yes, it returns the previous limit. 14:52

ah, found it in the comments on the .05 release. 20:46
[Coke] tries to agitate the one other person in a 50 mile radius using perl 6 20:52
er, perl.
sorear wonders where [Coke] is 21:04
masak starts publishing the t5 blog post 21:08
jnthn moritz++ # star release 21:10
moritz: Sorry I ended up too distrcated with stuff to do it.
flussence r: gist.github.com/3007551 21:16
p6eval rakudo a6d08c: OUTPUT«125000250000␤»
flussence I wrote this the other day but most people weren't around, and I'm curious how many edge cases I missed :)
masak oh, there was a star release? moritz++ 21:17
[Coke] sorear: upstate NY 21:18
masak flussence: did you try overriding [+] instead? that's how we spell 'sum' in Perl 6.
flussence I had no idea that even worked :) 21:19
r: sub prefix:<[+]>(*@stuff) { ... }
p6eval rakudo a6d08c: ( no output )
flussence r: sub prefix:<[+]>(*@stuff) { [*] @stuff }; say [+] 1..5
p6eval rakudo a6d08c: OUTPUT«1..5␤»
masak hm. 21:20
masak wonders if that isn't a bug 21:20
masak Telgalizer: greetings. 21:20
humans and gentlebots... 21:21
sorear masak \o/ 21:22
masak ...the fifth p6cc task post is online: strangelyconsistent.org/blog/t5-enu...ting-trees
\o/
sorear! \o/
masak writing these up is a real chore :) but I'm still happy to receive corrections, comments, and suggestions for improvements. 21:26
masak 'night, #perl6 22:17
sorear night, masak. 22:23
sorear returns to the 'write parser for niecza/non-bootstrap' project. *overwhelmed*
colomon sorear: I know I'm probably not up to writing parser, but if there is anything I can do to make you feel less overwhelemed... 22:50
japhb Does Rakudo implent 'handles' yet? 22:58
*implement 22:59
flussence handles as in filehandles, or the other thing? 22:59
japhb The OO thing. But I figured it out now -- Rakudo does support it, but I was bitten in my tests by shell quoting. 23:00
DARN YOU SHELL QUOTING! DARN YOU STRAIGHT TO HECK! 23:01
(Because the shell just doesn't deserve a real first-class punishment. ;-)
flussence depends on the shell :)
japhb heh
sorear colomon: thanks 23:05
japhb: I want a shell which mostly works like the Bourne shell, but supports tcl or p6-style quoting 23:06
japhb Ditto. Hell, I'd settle for p5-style quoting. That would still be a massive step up.
japhb *chuckle* Our local time source just sent an operations alert that a leap second happened. Because darn it, PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW. 23:09
flussence well then they're wrong, it's not supposed to happen until 0000 UTC :) 23:12
japhb Sorry, I should say the alert said that one was "announced". I presume that happens an hour early? 23:14
colomon isn't that 14 minutes ago? Or am I off because of daylight savings time
?
flussence it's 00:14 here but 23:14 UTC
dalek p: 7d3441a | pmichaud++ | src/HLL/Compiler.pm:
Implement --stagestats=2; outputs memory and PMC allocation statistics
 23:19
sorear japhb: the announcements frequently occur months or years ahead of time 23:20
japhb: we need time to update the table of leap seconds embedded in Temporal.pm
pmichaud the leap second is ~30 mins from now. 23:29
