lue "NEL" and "NEXT LINE" are aliases for U+0085 , not the actual name. "NEXT LINE (NEL)" is the Unicode 1.0 name. It has no current Unicode name. 00:42

01:31 colomon joined
lue Mouq: there's no standard rule to match any kind of number, and convert it to decimal for you, so far as I know. 01:32
(though it would perhaps be nice if the rakudo side converted E<> things for you...) 01:33
Mouq lue: the latter is what I mean 01:34
lue: Though I'm not sure what to in the case of E<apos> etc
lue Like <somebody> said, at this point Rakudo's side needs to be founded on AST nodes, instead of building the collection of classes itself. E<> stuff is a perfect example of how ASTyness would be helpful. 01:35
Mouq: E<> is supposed to handle HTML entities, regardless of your chosen backend.
s/backend/generator/, to be clearer 01:36
Mouq perl6 --doc -e'=pod E<apos>' 01:37
apos
:|
lue: So what is desired behaviour there?
lue Output an apostrophe, clearly :)
(E<> definitely needs to be processed by rakudo, rather than backends) 01:38
::HTML happens to luck out with HTML entities, but ::Man and ::TeX and etc. would need to handle it similarly to how Rakudo would.
(if Rakudo didn't handle it, that is)
Mouq So rather than Pod::FormattingCode.new(type => "E", content => Array.new("apos")), you think it should be Pod::FormattingCode.new(type => "E", content => Array.new("'")) or Pod::FormattingCode.new(type => "E", content => "'")? 01:40
And then Pod::To::HTML can escape it itself?
lue Mouq: maybe? This is why ASTs would be better perhaps; it would be just another "plain text" node, perhaps with an attribute saying "special char; may need to handle this" 01:41
Mouq (with special casing for Pod::FormattingCode.new(type => "E", content => "\n") -> "<br/>"
)
lue But I definitely think it's detrimental to have every Pod backend implement E<> processing.
Mouq lue: And I'm not sure what you mean by AST 01:47
lue: What I've been saying about AST is that Perl6 should parse the code and generate an AST that builds the Pod at runtime, instead of compiletime 01:48
lue: But I'm not sure if you mean something completely different
lue Well, someone (I think tadzik) mentioned a while ago that perhaps the Pod parser in Rakudo should build a more QAST-ish structure, as opposed to the tree of Pod:: stuff it does now. (essentially, a tree of nodes that builds the Pod tree, instead of building the pod tree outright) 01:49
01:49 hoverboard joined
Mouq But the final output ($=pod and whatever's handed to Pod::To::*) would still be a tree of Pod:: stuff? 01:51
or do I misunderstand?
because I don't see a way around that
lue I forget what the specific issue was that gave rise to the idea, but presumably $=pod would hold the pod. 01:52
01:55 araujo left, araujo joined
lue Mouq: it came up while discussing M<> , and the person making the suggestion was you rather :) 02:02
Mouq: from S26: "By default, once the DOC INIT phase is complete, the interpreter then calls a special default DOC INIT block that walks the AST and generates the documentation, guided by the content of the $?DOC hint, the $=pod tree, and any DOC blocks that have loaded Pod-related handler code." 02:04
Sadly the "How Pod is parsed and processed" section doesn't seem to mention anything by way of processing *another* file's Pod from a Perl 6 script :/ 02:06
Mouq EVAL( $slurp ~ "\n$=pod")[0] :P 02:07
Which should really be like use File; File.pod or something
dalek ast: d429f6e | larry++ | S05-mass/properties-derived.t:

FROGGS only on linux though, I still need to write down the windows wrapper script
timotimo yeah
what a drag ;) 10:31
FROGGS :o)
Mouq FROGGS++
FROGGS thanks :o)
timotimo finally some breakfast \o/ 10:32
Mouq FROGGS: Does =NAME and so on work?
FROGGS ahh, and I need to think about a File::DistDir alike so that a module can load its shared data files
Mouq: you mean how a CU specifies its metadata? 10:33
Mouq FROGGS: mmhm
FROGGS no, I think that is not handled yet 10:34
I just cared about what happens when you install a distribution
Mouq FROGGS: Ok, it just caught my eye :)
FROGGS at that time you already have a META.info where everything should be included
so, some day we need a tool that bundles a bunch of files for release, perhaps creating the META.info on its own 10:35
10:39 darutoko joined
timotimo is that what perl5ers use Dist::Zilla for? 10:40
FROGGS but this tool is probably a combination of a local installed toolchain and a proper dist upload server 10:41
timotimo: sounds like, I only used Module::Build
dalek ecs/pod6ify: f2f6e3b | Mouq++ | S26-documentation.pod6:
[S26] This won't work without explicit code block
 10:43
Mouq Oop. Should probably be on master
dalek ecs: 39866b1 | Mouq++ | S26-documentation.pod:

Mouq Much better. o/ #perl6 10:46

colomon masak: ADT started failing overnight, Test::CSV still failing 11:28
CSS::Grammer started failing overnight
timotimo: ADT failed overnight
masak: meant Druid, not ADT, for you. :) 11:29
timotimo colomon: oh noes :( 11:34
it's tough being a module author
even tougher since i don't have any users, at least to my knowledge 11:35
colomon on the bright side, your module is pretty cool
timotimo what a relief :) 11:40
i appreciate the notifications in any case
it's slightly annoying to have a module that needs fixing every now and then, but it'd be much worse to have a module that silently fails as soon as someone tries it out 11:41
tadzik lue: (Pod in QAST) no :) 11:42
11:42 xenoterracide left
tadzik actually, I did extra effort to do it the way it's done now, and I think it's the right way to do that 11:42
timotimo tadzik o/ 11:43
you got a favourite thing i should add to this week's p6weekly?
tadzik \o
colomon o/ 11:44
colomon wonders if anyone else has tried installing File::Find on moar
tadzik timotimo: other than panda on moar? :)
colomon: I usually don't since updating modules that are panda deps usually breaks panda :|
timotimo tadzik: already in :) 11:45
colomon tadzik: emmentaler does it, and emmentaler / panda completely break when it does
tadzik oh, but it installs it to a different location, not updates the existing one 11:47
that should work, let's see
or am I one of those lucky fellas who can't connect to feather:3000?
...yes 11:48
colomon tadzik: I poked around the issue a bunch the other day.
tadzik IO::Socket::INET.new(:host<feather.perl6.nl>, :port(3000)) hangs for me
(on moar)
let's see if the update helps 11:49
colomon tadzik: for what it's worth, I think it's a moar bug and not a panda bug. 11:53
tadzik it is 11:54
lucky for me :D
ok, the bug is still there in the latest moar (for me)
timotimo aaow :( 11:55
aaw*
12:09 dmol left
masak colomon: thank you for the reports. 12:10
I looked into Text::CSV, but I couldn't identify the problem quickly. it seems parsing-related.
colomon tadzik: what it looks like is happening is File::Find installs (this is with pandabrew/bin/pandabrew panda install File::Find, but the same error comes from emmentaler), then when it wants to clean up the install process it calls rm_rf (Shell::Command) which in turn calls find (File::Find) and when that call is made, it bombs out with an illegal opcode. 12:12
tadzik huh 12:14
as if it indeed overwrote the original File::Find, and re-loaded it somehow?
colomon yeah, that's what it seems like, and that's why I suspect a Moar bug 12:16
it's not even supposed to be possible to trigger a re-load, is it?
tadzik to my knowledge, no 12:17
colomon once it happens, panda is completely borked until you rebootstrap it

FROGGS cool (sub sigs)++ 12:33
12:33 xenoterracide joined
Ven so it took them as much time as perl 6 to mature that much :p 12:33
masak Ven: yes, but don't ridicule them too much for that. they have other constraints than Perl 6 does. 12:35
Ven masak: well, that's the point. It's ridicule to have *that much constraints*. I don't even know how they can move 12:36
FROGGS let's just agree that we are happy to have signatures in Perl 5 as well, because we love Perl 5, okay? :o)
masak what FROGGS said.
nwc10 If you move too far and break their code, your userbase doesn't come with you: alexgaynor.net/2013/dec/30/about-python-3/ 12:37
masak I'm not here to dump on Perl 5. those guys are doing an amazing job.
FROGGS exactly (both of your sentences)
12:37 xenoterracide left
masak the more I'm involved in the Perl community, the more respect I have for Perl 5. 12:37
the fact that Perl 6 is an awesome vision doesn't change the fact that (size-wise), we're the Rebels to Perl 5's Empire. 12:38
12:40 spider-mario joined
Ven maybe perl got the "urge to move" stance a bit better? 12:41
s/perl/the ruby community/ # duh
masak Ven: I'm not following what you're saying. 12:43
Ven masak: from what I've seen in the community, the 1.9 had a nice list of breaking change (certainly not as much as perl 6 and probably less than py3), but people have been prompt to upgrade 12:44
masak Ven: that sounds quite likely to me. 12:45
Ven: maybe there is even some measure of "entrenched"-ness along which Ruby is much less affected than either Python or Perl.
Ven masak: maybe we're just hipsters who try the new things instantly :p 12:46
masak Ven: seriously though, I think it's connected to how much code you already have that'll break. 12:47
Ven: also possibly connected to how good test coverage you have.
Ven masak: that's why php people don't do any breaking change -- they don't have test </troll -- I'm sure that's not true>
masak: but I guess it works much better if, instead of a big list of breaking changes 12:48
masak: you just break little things over time. Less things to fix in one time, you're not "left behind" 12:49
masak yeah. 12:51
or even "of course" :)
12:51 colomon left 12:53 skids left
masak someone please remind me, what is the undocumented grammar debugging feature in Rakudo again? 12:53
tadzik <?DEBUG(1)> I think
masak thank you.
hm, no; doesn't work. 12:54
tadzik hm 12:55
bah, google sucks for searching irc log 12:56
and I can't find it with normal search either :( 12:57
12:58 rindolf joined
masak I tried doing 'git grep' in the Rakudo source, but I came up blank, too. 12:58
moritz that would be an NQP feature 12:59
but also there git grep --word DEBUG comes up empty
masak: there's a --rxtrace command line option, and $grammar.HOW.trace-on($grammer) 13:00
13:03 virtualsue joined
masak moritz: thank you. 13:03
ahaha. --rxtrace traces the parse of my *program*, not my input. :D 13:04
moritz yes :-)
for your own grammars, you have the grammar object available :-)
masak ===SORRY!=== 13:05
No such method 'trace-on' for invocant of type 'Perl6::Metamodel::GrammarHOW'
:/
13:05 BenGoldberg joined
masak guessing this is an NQP feature, too... 13:05
tadzik why not Grammar::Debugger? 13:06
or Grammar::Tracer?
moritz ah yes, it's from src/how/NQPClassHOW.nqp
13:07 vinian joined, vinian left
masak tadzik: because I tried it on Friday and discovered it's busted. 13:07
tadzik: gist.github.com/masak/eccadc58b72cd32f720e
tadzik: I don't know if it's busted gloablly on all Rakudo backends, or just on Moar. 13:08
