sorear: is niecza STD-based too, like rakudo/nom?
jnthn Niecza is closer to STD than Rakudo in some places (used to be way closer, but Rakudo has converged a lot) 08:18
aku
oops
sorear niecza is STD-based.
FROGGS hmmm, so I can even steal stuff from niecza :o)
sorear it has diverged from STD in places, but the grammar was created by copying STD and editing the parts that didn't work. :D 08:19
FROGGS thats the point, I try to get nom closer to STD when it comes to contextualizers in regexes, but right now I cant compile the setting 08:20

hoelzro morning #perl6, I see I have messages =)
phenny hoelzro: 27 Jan 12:09Z <timotimo> tell hoelzro do you feel like you can open a pull request for your pygments work soon? or do you want more testing to be done first?
hoelzro: 27 Jan 12:21Z <timotimo> tell hoelzro the only issues i can see with it are: @!foo has a red, fat ! and +@($block) has a red, fat ($ in it, so everything that looks remotely like a twigil (thrigil?) seems to get that treatment
hoelzro thank you, phenny 08:30
TimToady rosettacode.org/wiki/Echo_server#Perl_6 08:33
That's 500, though I cheated by putting up non-working code
FROGGS someone should fix async then^^ 08:34
but it sounds like a lot of work
TimToady well, to do it so that threads can't block other threads, yes 08:35
hoelzro timotimo: ping 08:36
GlitchMr 500. Perfect :-).
TimToady should be trivial once NQP is ported to Go :P
GlitchMr Hmmm... how many tasks Rosetta Code does have?
"630 tasks"
Sounds like we are closer and closer to having Perl 6 example in every task
Except that appears to include draft tasks, so not really. 08:37
TimToady Tcl has 687 implemented already
FROGGS 's brain matched "500" as token http-error-code rather than token number-of-rc-tasks 08:38
arnsholt jnthn: In an attempt to debug my nativesize stuff, I added debug prints to NativeHow's compose and the nativesize trait. From the interleaving of the prints, it seems the trait is applied -after- the HOW's compose is called
nwc10 TimToady: I saw the smiley. But, serious question - Go assumes UTF-8 pervasively, doesn't it? That's going to be a bit, well, suboptimal, for NFG?
GlitchMr Perhaps I should try solving 24 game in Perl 6
TimToady as long as Go supports native integer arrays, we can easily implement NFG
"easily"
hoelzro hmm 08:39
moritz FROGGS: heh, I work in an office with number 408 REQUEST TIMEOUT :-)
hoelzro what does +@($block) mean? timotimo pointed it out in his syntax examples
TimToady usually, same as +$block does
GlitchMr hoelzro, it gives number of elements in array. 08:40
hoelzro ah, I see
TimToady nr: my $array := <a b c d e>; say +$arrray

FROGGS moritz: hehe, nice, that would fit here too :o)
TimToady well, if you know it's a block, why are you asking it how many of it there are?
nwc10 TimToady: yes. True. I seem to be forgetting that Java thinks that UTF-16 is the way to go. :-( Silly me.
TimToady yes, well, we can do NFG there too, presumably 08:42
nwc10 exactly. I'd already assumed that to be a SMOP, so why should I treat Go differently. Clearly insufficient coffee 08:43
08:45 sqirrel joined
nwc10 moritz: I remembered. The first issue with constant folding on Perl 5 may not apply to Perl 6 -- $SIG{__WARN__} 08:46
$SIG{__WARN__} is dynamic. For correctness (ie, as if no optimisation had taken place), warnings should be dispatched at runtime to the dynamic warning handler
moritz: the IRC logger index for a channel generates no link for a particular day if there is no activity. Is there a way to filter out days when a channel only has parts and joins? (ie no chat, just tumbleweeds) 08:48
moritz nwc10: ($SIG{__WARN__}) that one's nasty
nwc10: no, not yet, but would be pretty easy to do 08:49
nwc10 moritz: that would be cool
although having it running on Rakudo would also be cool :-) 08:50
dogfood for the long term win

FROGGS morning mathw 09:00
moritz nwc10: my plan is to port the logger itself first, because that's less performance critical
nwc10 oh, interesting. I would have thought that the logger is (also) the part that must not fail, else there is data loss 09:01
however, the easy answer to that is run two loggers - Perl 5, and Rakudo
(and diff the output)
moritz nwc10++ # constant nagging about dogfooding 09:04
09:05 am0c left
nwc10 yes, sorry if I sound like a broken record. But 09:05
a) I think that it's one of the reasons that Parrot went wrong
b) Actually a way to make your build system more portable
c) A way to make your system more maintainable. (Much like self-hosting is, or at least, has massive advantages in that area) 09:06
moritz you don't have to apologize; I even ++'ed you for it :-) 09:07
nwc10 I also realised last night that, well, nothing serious is written in Perl 6. Except an entire compiler. 09:08
Which, actually, is pretty damn cool. And proof that it isn't a toy.
but it would be nice to have other things :-)
moritz I totally agree 09:09
nwc10 also, what rjbs asked last night about pack - I'd guess that the bits of Perl 6 that are needed to write compilers are pretty much fleshed out. 09:12
But compilers are not the only fruit.
moritz I totally agree 09:13
our native call interface, and DBIish in extension, could use some good bit of extra stability :-) 09:14
09:14 grondilu joined
arnsholt moritz: BTW, you mentioned some time ago that you managed to trigger segfaults with Zavolaj in DBIish 09:16
What was the issue again_
s/_/? 09:17
moritz arnsholt: doing too much stuff in a postgres database
arnsholt Doing too much stuff?
moritz preparing and executing a lot of different queries
each of them didn't segfault in isolation
arnsholt Weird 09:18
moritz I'll try to re-test on a newer toolchain soon
arnsholt That'd be cool. I think it might smell of some kind of Zavolaj issue 09:19

GlitchMr Niecza appears to parse multi sub correctly.
Except it seems it doesn't know whatever it should use ($a, $b) as signature or ($a, @b).

FROGGS GlitchMr: if you try that locally, do you see the three signatures in the list? 09:34

GlitchMr No, only two. 09:35
The ($a, %b) signature isn't involved in array check.
arnsholt r: my int8 $x = 1024; say $x

hoelzro I'll probably just look at the rakudo source, thanks =) 13:02

timotimo i wonder if the meta-tracing jit design of pypy would be of any use to us rakudo users? 22:01
(meaning: replicating it rather than implementing a qast backend for pypy)
jnthn Some kind of 6model-aware trace JIT would make sense. 22:02
Well, that's true even without the "trace" bit.
japhb_ These days, there's actually a fair number of open-source JITs to look at. Lots of prior art.
timotimo right. i don't know how to do such a thing, though, so you all would have to do it :P 22:03
jnthn "We want to build a good JIT some day" was considered in the 6model design process way back. :)
japhb_ Even several tracing style ones. (Off the top of my head, TraceMonkey and LuaJIT, and I suspect several more I'm forgetting at the moment.)
timotimo jnthn: would the jvm JIT do much to improve rakudo run-speed? do perl6 methods/functions get turned into raw jvm bytecode and will those be jitted properly, too? 22:04
i have no good mental model of all the meta-layers involved in this
jnthn We compile down to JVM bytecode, so the JIT can help to some degree
I mean, if you + two native ints, it compiles down to what a + of two native ints in Java does. 22:05
timotimo and things that need some dynamicism will end up looking like function calls into the interpreter? like "find_appropriate_method"? i suppose find_lexical would be done at compile time already? 22:06
jnthn It tries to avoid looking lexicals up by name at least. 22:07

[Coke] (arglebargle. I cannot do this build behind the firewall because I'm not setup for anonymous git to github anymore.) 22:27
jnthn Well, thing to remember is that the cross-compiler is doing the cross-comp in NQP on Parrot, spitting out a .dump file, running a JVM process to turn that into a .class file, then spawning the JVM again to run the compiled output.
[Coke] as a former parrot developer, I'm horrified at those timings. 22:28
jnthn: you're making it sound like you're doing a lot more work, but still running in a fraction of the time.
japhb_ ...
[Coke] r: say 5.36/85.11
p6eval rakudo 9c9d79: OUTPUT«0.062977␤»
[Coke] or are you not counting the time to cross compile at all? 22:30
(it's reading like "5s to cross compile and then run on java" vs. "85s to run on parrot")
jnthn [Coke]: The time I posted there includes the cross-compile and run time.
[Coke]: Well, to compile and run on Parrot.
[Coke] so, yes, those timings are as horrifying as I thought. ;)
jnthn It's a microbenchmark; usual disclaimers apply. 22:31
masak .oO( DOOM DOOM DOOM ) 22:34

tadzik jnthn: fwiw, on my box this microbenchmark is 11.12s vs 379.93s :) 22:35
timotimo where do i have to look for a specification of the POD objects that can be accessed with $=...? or are they just always strings?
tadzik r: say 11.12/379.93
p6eval rakudo 9c9d79: OUTPUT«0.029269␤»
tadzik timotimo: nope, they're full-blown objects 22:36
timotimo that's good to know
tadzik and they aren't really spec'd, they only exist on rakudo, and are inspired by S26
timotimo mhm, ok
tadzik they're in github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/...ore/Pod.pm
just ask me about anything :)
timotimo just looked at S26 :)
i was just generally curious 22:37
tadzik I'm supposed to know everything about them :)
jnthn tadzik: Do they prefer caviar or trombones?
tadzik caviar any time 22:38
[Coke] bah. what sane creature would NOT choose trombones?
timotimo so, @.content will have any mixture of plain text and more complex objects that have their own @.content?
jnthn Pod block objects, apparently :P
r: say 8.58 / 106.72 22:39
p6eval rakudo 9c9d79: OUTPUT«0.080397␤»
tadzik timotimo: I think they're twines
or not
no, @.content is always Pod objects
except when it's a formatting code 22:40
then it's a twine
masak japhb_: ;)
jnthn OK, teaching tomorrow, so rest
'night o/
japhb_ Sleep well
masak tadzik: I'm so glad the twine concept was useful to you. it brings back fond memories of Białowieża. 22:41
tadzik :)
masak 'night, jnthn
tadzik surprise ice rain!
good knight jnthn
masak tadzik: hahaha
tadzik "Let's see the place of power!" "RETREEEEEAT"
timotimo i have no idea what a twine is, tbh 22:42
tadzik I remember it took me some time to fully appreciate twines, finally got them around yapc::eu that year
timotimo: it's a data structures for mixing strings with rich content
timotimo oh, ok
tadzik it's always odd number of elements, and a string must always be te first and the last element, even if empty
that makes it easy to merge them 22:43
masak timotimo: it's an odd-element array with text<elem>text<elem>text etc
timotimo finds it in his internet
tadzik it's a pretty simple concept, and it solves plenty of problems actually
timotimo apparently only in LLVM source code :|
masak I learned it through one of the XML modules on CPAN.
22:43 hash_table joined
tadzik yeah, that's the only place when I found it back in the days 22:44

tadzik how so? 23:34
FROGGS well, it's unbelievable 23:38
tadzik :) 23:39
FROGGS I do hope the parrot guys dont read this before first coffee ó.ò 23:40
tadzik jvm was about 50x faster on my box
if I exclude startup time, then well
r: say 8.12/379.93
p6eval rakudo 9c9d79: OUTPUT«0.021372␤»
tadzik yeah, about 50x 23:41
that's just a stupid loop though
FROGGS ya, of course
does JVM has some nativecall stuff?
23:42 benabik joined
timotimo what microbenchmarks are going on here? 23:43
nqp on jvm benchmarks?
FROGGS right
23:48 MayDaniel left
timotimo i'll try running nqp-jvm again 23:52
FROGGS I'd need to install first
timotimo aaw
