pdurbin timotimo: how's perl6 on the jvm going? 02:01
timotimo pretty good actually 02:02
jnthn++ has been making pretty darn cool parallelism constructs for us
and we have JVM interop, so that we can use classes from java and implement some interfaces like "runnable" (or something like that?) just by having a sub 02:03
pdurbin somewhere on 6guts.wordpress.com I looked at some pdf that gave a nice high level overview of perl6 on the jvm 02:04
timotimo ah damn. we need a pbc_to_exe equivalent for the jvm so that we can build a binary from rakudo-debugger. 02:05
yes, that would be his talk slides i'd bet
jnthn.net/papers/2013-yapceu-jvm.pdf
pdurbin it's was interesting to read how for certain workloads the jvm is much more efficient than parrot
timotimo yes, truly
the JIT is pretty darn good.
pdurbin yeah, page 47. 11 minutes vs. 7 hours, 52 minutes 02:06
timotimo and also the way our classes work is a bit nicer on the JVM than on parrot. and much nicer still on moarvm
pdurbin timotimo: thanks 02:07
timotimo you're welcome
lue idly considers Moar
pdurbin a guy at work gave a talk on scala. who knows. maybe we'll consider languages besides java on the jvm some day :) 02:09
timotimo :)
pdurbin his slides: lists.iq.harvard.edu/pipermail/tec...00006.html 02:10
timotimo: is there a place to check for general status of perl6 on the jvm? what's working, what's not working, etc. 02:13
timotimo yeah, the perl6-roast-data repository on coke's github gives you the percentages of relative spectest success and details which spectests are skipped 02:15
almost everything that works on parrot works on jvm. the one important thing that's missing before we make a Rakudo-jvm Star release is Native Call
in that case, it means calling C code from a rakudo-jvm
and the jvm has stuff that doesn't work on parrot. and now there's tests for the stuff that is not on parrot, so maybe rakudo-parrot will not stay the leader in the scoring :) 02:16
pdurbin looks at github.com/coke/perl6-roast-data/b..._rates.csv
wow, almost everything. so I see 02:18
timotimo sometimes there's problems with the test runs, though, like it hanging in the middle
yes, indeed :)
but 100% doesn't mean 100% of tests succeed. lots of tests are skipped or todos
i think that's the difference between the "spec" and "plan" columns 02:19
pdurbin ah ha. but still, the "pass" numbers are very similar 02:20
timotimo yes, indeed
once you get to a compiling and running CORE.setting, you already have a big chunk of things covered 02:21

I am feeling being involved :o) 09:25
lizmat update: woolfy stopped taking photos
woolfy confirms lizmat's updates
jaffa4 what is going on?
FROGGS jaffa4: they are at the perl workshop in Austria 09:26
woolfy FROGGS: would be nice if you would be here too. It's nice. Nice office, nice people, nice city. Already 14 people present in hackathon room. Some of them are really hacking.
FROGGS jaffa4: btw, jnthn replied to you in the backlog
jaffa4 What backdoor? 09:27
FROGGS woolfy: yeah, I wanted to come, but my wife is getting a job as it seems (starting tomorrow)
jaffa4 And replies on what?
FROGGS jaffa4: irc backlog, see irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/search/?ni...p;q=jaffa4 09:28
woolfy FROGGS: wife's job is way more important. You did choose well. 09:29
jaffa4 not sure what his wife's job has to do anything 09:30
FROGGS woolfy: yeah, especially when she had none since four years now :o)
jaffa4: I have two young kids, somebody has to care :o) 09:31
so I can't travel around
woolfy Wife could have some moral (and household) support as well after first job in 4 years! 09:33
I can't find the Camelia logo graphics file on www.perl6.org . Anybody an idea where to find it? The scalable version would be nice.
FROGGS that too of course
woolfy: it is on wall.org I think 09:34
jaffa4 FROGGS: Austrlian workshops seems to be very small 09:35
woolfy hmmm, not a very helpful url
FROGGS woolfy: I am still searching
woolfy jaffa4: the workshop had 22 attendees yesterday. Today is hackathon and 14 people present, more coming in later.
FROGGS woolfy: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Camelia.svg 09:36
jaffa4: and we are talking about Austria in Europe
jaffa4 so am I. 09:37
FROGGS ahh,, k
woolfy FROGGS: thanks, that's the one.
jaffa4: quantity, not quality... :-)
jaffa4 you mean the reverise
lizmat "Austrlian" seems to be the love child of "Austrian" and "Australian"
jaffa4 I have typing difficulties 09:38
and I spend time in Autralia and I keep remembering I think
FROGGS: I need to pass :actions... so what do I need to do exactly? 09:40
FROGGS jaffa4: something like: Perl6::Grammar.parse( $code, :actions(Perl6::Actions.new) )
jnthn morning o/ 09:41

jnthn: Thanks for your reply last night 09:42
FROGGS hi jnthn, arnsholt 09:43
arnsholt I've put the CArray refactor idea on the back burner for now, as I need to get a better grip on how parametric classes work first =)
jnthn ok 09:44

FROGGS do you mean iterate? there are ops for it, grep for nqp::iter* in nqp 10:33
jaffa4 yes 10:34
xenoterracide scratches head at the name `elems` why not `size` or `count` 10:36
moritz xenoterracide: because 'size' could be anything 10:37
xenoterracide: storage size, display size when printed, whatever
10:37 denisboyun joined
moritz count is better, but *what* is counted? elems! 10:37
xenoterracide List.elems makes me think I'm returning the elements... List.size or List.count would both make me think of a numeric context... idk, just a thought, I'd never guess what elems means 10:38
moritz that is a disadvantage, yes 10:39
lizmat xenoterracide: but, Perl6 doesn't return elemens: it returns a list or Parcel with elems
therefore .elems returns the number of elements 10:40
.list or .Parcel returns the list or a parcel with the elements
moritz or if you have a list, it already *is* the list of elems :-) 10:41
10:41 tobyink left
xenoterracide of course, when everything is an object... I'm just saying if I read this code, without referencing the docs I wouldn't know what it was doing 10:41
of course to be fair if I didn't know perl I'm not sure I'd innately know what shift/unshift did either 10:42
xenoterracide shrugs, not a language designer, going back to my corner 10:43
well, ok, I'll say one last thing I guess... my thought on any api design is that you should, in most cases, be able to read the class and method name and guess what the purpose is without (too much) prior knowledge 10:45
List.first is extremely obvious
moritz which immediately rules out List.size
10:57 cognominal__ joined
xenoterracide afaik, that may be common to other implementations, python uses count, java size, ruby size or length, js length, (I think length is weirder than size, but all seems better than elem ) 10:59
11:01 cognominal left
xenoterracide notes the only reason I brought this up is I'm poking around writing a perl 5 collection api 11:01
and decided to somewhat base it off perl6's method naming
moritz "length" is another example that lacks a unit 11:02
xenoterracide yeah I don't like length either
moritz lenght in bytes? in characters? Codepoints? display length?
xenoterracide but with elem, what about it? is it returning an elem object that's another collection type? telling me what type of elem (what of() does), it's just something I have to look up (barring familiarity) 11:04
I think for what I'm working on I'll go with count
Collection.count doesn't seem ambiguous
moritz what does Hash.count return?
number of keys? or number of elems of the hash table? 11:05
xenoterracide what does Hash.elem return? 11:06
moritz number of pairs
xenoterracide why would I guess that anymore than I would Hash.count
moritz because count doesn't say *what* is counted 11:07
xenoterracide how does elem?
moritz it counts *elem*s
xenoterracide a pair is an elem?
moritz yes

xenoterracide well maybe it makes more sense in perl6 though not sure if it does in perl 5... 11:10
I'll think on it
it's not like I'll release the library in a week
though knowing that it's looking at elems I'd probably still guess count was counting elems just have to know that detail... (which also seems relevant to understanding the name .elem) 11:12
moritz in the context of a Perl 5 library it might even make sense to call it length, simply because that's the p5 idiom 11:13
xenoterracide true, heh, forgot that function exists 11:14
Juerd "length" isn't a p5 idiom for lists or arrays. 11:15
Unless, of course, you want to know the number of digits of the number of elements... :P 11:16
moritz right, that would be 'scalar'
xenoterracide I coerce to scalar context alot

xenoterracide well in backend thought, if given a little API could largely leave it up to a convention ::PP or ::JVM ::Native and prefer JVM over Native on the jvm 11:40

moritz currently I wonder if I should start one eval server, and then kill it and start a new one after it has been used 12:42
lizmat fwiw, I just installed javac on my macbook 12:43
and trying to do jvm spectest
it starts failing after about 40 tests
the error I've been able to get out of that is: 12:44
Error in socket connection:Exception in thread "Thread-71"
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
does that ring any bell with anyone
according to jnthn, this appears to be the same pb that [Coke] sees/ has seen 12:46
12:47 xenoterracide left 12:59 xenoterracide joined 13:02 Rotwang left
xenoterracide is it possible to have a class and a module of the same name and export subroutines from the module and the class? 13:05
timotimo does somebody want to build something like "pbc_to_exe" for the jvm port? it could create a sh on linux and a .bat on windows and find the right libraries and classpaths and stuff
FROGGS xenoterracide: it is specced to load a module/class under a different name (alias), that is what you want, but unfortunately NYI 13:06
like: use Foo:from<NQP>:name<Bar>; use Foo; 13:07
xenoterracide hmmm 13:08
FROGGS or you would load a Foo with a different version as the other Foo, and load one of them under an alias
jnthn xenoterracide: Why put the subs in a module at all?
xenoterracide: Just mark the class is export and then shove the subs after it and makr them as is export
they're lexical so it's not like they pollute anything.
FROGGS jnthn: yeah, if you have the modules/classes under control :o) 13:09
xenoterracide jnthn: suppose I could do that, (goes back to refactoring Digest)
nwc10 Thing I mentioned earlier - Devil's dictionary of programming: programmingisterrible.com/post/6578...rogramming 13:10

xenoterracide trying to make Digest a little more ... Digestable heh. Make it more like the perl 5 version and allow algorithm selection 13:14
13:18 Rotwang joined
xenoterracide I suppose I could TIAS but if you're inside of a .pm ... but not inside of a "package scope" then what "package" are you in? do those subs auto end up in a lexical block of main or something? 13:25
arnsholt jnthn: Given that most REPRs use the same class as REPRData all the time, d'you think it would make sense to make STable on JVM STable<T>?
And then REPR<T>. It'd kill some casts in various places I think 13:26
jnthn Yeah, but since it's just type erasure it makes no differene at runtime anyway... 13:34
afaik, anyway
arnsholt Yeah, it'd be purely a convenience while coding 13:35
13:39 Rotwang left
jnthn ah, ok 13:41

arnsholt I've noticed that uses of REPRData are always accompanied by casting stuff, and that'd be a way to get rid of that 13:45

FROGGS I dont think a noun is preferable 15:16
TimToady unfortunately the English verb is "extract a promise" :)
japhb__ TimToady: Actually, in retrospect, I kinda like your todo {} suggestion. 15:17
FROGGS ohh, task is a verb too
japhb__ Since you can 'todo' something.
FROGGS that feels more like NYI
like stub code
japhb__ :-/
TimToady but todo has strong overtones that I'm going to do it, not someone else 15:18
FROGGS (to me)
japhb__ That's a fair point
TimToady wish at least is what you do to a genie, which is a separate agency
japhb__ job {}
diakopter .
FROGGS steve { } 15:19
japhb__ FROGGS: .steve is clearly a method that gives you the current list of jobs.
FROGGS or that gives you style, and shouts at you in another moment :o)
TimToady unfortunately "delegate" is too long, and already means something else 15:20

japhb__ jnthn: So, while they continue bikeshedding ... can you explain why BOOTSTRAPATTR is used beyond building Attribute (or maybe scalar_attr)?
FROGGS casual { } # my last one for today 15:26
japhb__ causal {} # Now what does *that* mean in this context?
FROGGS O.o 15:27
jnthn japhb__: Not really :) 15:28
japhb__: Maybe 'cus "that's how things ended up"
japhb__: I guess scalar_attr just needs Attribute and Scalar to exist. 15:29
And we can use it for the rest.
japhb__ OK, that makes sense to me. I kept looking at the code going "Why are we using BOOTSTRAPATTR way down here?" And then I wondered if there was some performance reason, or some extremely subtle detail somewhere I was missing. 15:30
jnthn japhb__: Well, the other reason is that it doesn't not vivify a Scalar in the attribute 15:31
Which can be important.
But we can find a way to do that and use Attribute
japhb__ jnthn: Well, but that's true of a regular Attribute, right?
I mean, I thought scalar_attr() was just a wrapper to weld Scalar viv to an Attribute, so if you just use Attribute by itself ... 15:33
jnthn Right.
So we can almost certainly reduce BOOTSTRAPATTR usage lots ;)
