colomon is intoxicated at the ease of working with rakudobrew 00:24
timotimo keeping my own rakudos, nqps and moarvms up to date is simple enough for me, but it really is a tiny bit annoying to be cding into pandas folder and rebootstrapping 00:26
at least rebootstrap will re-install the modules you had before
00:26 newperl joined
newperl hello 00:26
timotimo hello, newperl! 00:27
what can we do for you today? :)
newperl after using for a bit i really like the ability today
i new to perl and perl6
colomon timotimo: rakudobrew does that automatically when you rebuild!
timotimo how does rakudobrew handle having local patches? 00:28
colomon timotimo: I've got no clue. :)
timotimo probably doesn't, so it's not for me i fear :)
but i'll keep recommending it to everyone
newperl i have a question is their a way to submit a perl mascot concept? i would love to make one 00:29
timotimo newperl: glad to hear you're enjoying your time with The Perls
at least the Perl 6 mascot (camelia, the butterfly) has been in use for a long time now; i'm not sure if people are willing to give her up
i don't know anything about Perl 5
newperl well the butterfly is nice, i something in mind to draw and to give a symbol of animal that represent it. perl have great ability for all types of things especially today that we need more automation 00:32
for example their lot more data than ever before
and perl is the key
timotimo rakudo is currently much too slow to handle "big data" payloads, but at least we can parallelize 00:33
and perl could very well be a tool for Everybody™ to handle whatever data they come across in their lives
newperl true
timotimo though to be honest, excel/libreoffice spreadsheets are already pretty powerful (but only for numbers, not really text)
newperl so what would people think as a platypus, since its uniq and perl does many things well 00:34
for icon
timotimo platypuses are really adorable
the artistic license 2 says you can distribute your own version of rakudo with a modified name and logo if you want to :) 00:35
newperl sounds cool
00:39 xenoterracide_ joined
newperl its most likely going a tough road but i am going to work on it, 00:39
once i create the platypuses icon, is their a way email it to everyone of the perl community? 00:41
TimToady you should know that Darwin already claims the platypus as a mascot... 00:42
and no, there's no way to mail everyone, thankfully :) 00:45
colomon TimToady! \o/ 00:48
timotimo gaaaah i'm looking for this gif 00:51
and i'm not finding it

you can't assign something that will always return an Int to a Str

12:34 kurahaupo left
lizmat ah, that 12:34

jnthn Yes, the promise is "fails at runtime at latest", and compilers are free to rule out things that couldn't possibly work at runtime during compile time. 12:39
But they're not obligated to. 12:40
Not in the 6.0 spec at least. Maybe in the future we make some stronger promises there.

jnthn has almost finished his slides :) 13:01
Ven jnthn: like my second example :) ?
jnthn Ven: yes 13:02
Ven: It's just that the optimizer isn't analysing assignments yet
Ven: It'll need to do that for various opts I want to put in, and at that point I suspect it might be fairly easy to make that particular example blow up at compile time.
13:03 guru joined, guru is now known as ajr_
Ven yay ! 13:04
jnthn all of the type check at compile time stuff we have today actually is done by the optimizer.
It's trying to prove things about the program in order to do inlines and compile time dispatch, and as a side-effect sometimes proves the code could never possibly work. 13:05
Makes sense to do it in the same pass, since it's basically the same work. 13:06
Anyway, if you ever wonder what the difference between --optimize=off and --optimize=0 is, that's in :)

masak japhb: also, TimToady has said at some point that he seldom makes decisions due to one thing, more often due to two or more things. 15:36
I think that partly explains why some features turn out to be terrific unifications. 15:37
15:38 zakharyas left
japhb masak: Yeah, I always saw it as many soft constraints 15:40
Ven masak: "terrific unifications" ? 15:43
moritz for example the colonpair notation, which works for named arguments, quoting adverbs, regex adverbs 15:44
masak or roles, which soak up the good parts of contracts, traits, abstract classes, and interfaces. 15:45
moritz or that quoted strings work in regexes too 15:46

TimToady you guys do a better job of listing the design principles than I could :) 15:54
japhb TimToady: clearly you did something right then. :-)
Ven Though "terrific unifications" can be executed poorly, like I think it's the case in Scala : Small building blocks, yet thousands of corner cases 15:55
masak yeah, Perl 6 totally doesn't have thousands of corner cases :P pffffft 15:56
wait, is "millions" bigger than "thousands"?
TimToady well, that's kind of the Unix mode of failure; it's all very well to do one thing and do it well, but if your various bits are speaking different languages to each other, they won't work together
15:57 a3gis_ joined
geekosaur but people tend to at least think about how to deal with them... 15:57
Ven masak: having been bit by one of those that "can't be fixed" not so long ago : "I didn't say that !"
masak Ven: :)
15:57 a3gis left
masak Ven: we all agree there are corner cases that should be removed; we just disagree on which ones. 15:57
TimToady the most underlying design principle is that communication can only happen when you agree on the language
masak oh, that reminds me: 15:58
japhb: "always know which language you're in" (when parsing)
TimToady but also, two entities have to agree on how they talk to each other 15:59
Ven masak: which one would you remove :) ?
masak japhb: also "sublanguages (regex, quoting, etc) are first-class citizens and should be treated as such"
Ven: I would start listing things, but I'm at $work...

Ven masak: that's still nice. I talked to her for quite some time before even hearing of perl6, because she's a contrib on an altJS i'm a developer on. I only realized she was well-known in a community like that ~2 months ago

vaskozl what is the default behaviour?
FROGGS vaskozl: both is turned on
vaskozl nice
16:35 woosley left
FROGGS strict is meant to be off for one-liners for example, but that is NYI 16:35

vaskozl what is NYI? 16:36
not yet implemented...
masak quick, someone get the list of terms!
vaskozl: you might enjoy reading github.com/perl6/specs/blob/master...ossary.pod 16:37
vaskozl well that's the firs time I've seen this one, and I got a bunch of new york shit when i googled it
so it took me some time to figure it out :D
FROGGS *g*
masak *gasp* -- NYI is not *in* that list!
FROGGS wow
masak how... ironic. 16:38
FROGGS yeah :/
vaskozl gotta learn that regex 16:39
OOH the :i goes infront 16:40
masak :) 16:41
we like to be up-front about things in Perl 6.
vaskozl help the me! I'm trying : curl github.com/perl6/specs/blob/master...ossary.pod | perl6 -e 'if(:i/nyi/){say}' 16:42
*I've only one month perl experiences (most of which has been perl5 up to now)
or rather perl6 -p -e 16:43
16:43 anaeem1 joined 16:44 ajr_ left
moritz you probably want -n -e 16:44
also, no parens around the condition
and finally, stuff doesn't default to $_ anymore
but you can use .say to call a method on $_
vaskozl WHAT?
moritz what WHAT? 16:45
vaskozl what does stuff doesn't default to $_ mean?
moritz perl 5 has lots of subroutines that use $_ as a default if no argument was supplied
but it's always hard to remember which ones do and which ones don't 16:46
vaskozl arligth but it tells me that I need brackets when I try: curl github.com/perl6/specs/blob/master...ossary.pod | perl6 -n -e 'if :i/nyi/ {.say}'
moritz so, in Perl 6, only syntactic constructs (like m//, s///) default to $_
instead there's a short syntax for calling methods on $_
std: say
camelia std ec3d853: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Unsupported use of bare 'say'; in Perl 6 please use .say if you meant $_, or use an explicit invocant or argument at /tmp/SM5uA5cdGA line 1:␤------> say⏏<EOL>␤Check failed␤FAILED 00:00 120m␤»
vaskozl masak: oh ok
what does: Expression needs parens to avoid taking the block 16:47
at -e:1
mean?
moritz oh, if you need modifiers, use m:i/../ instead of just :i
vaskozl ok 16:48
ok it worsk!
moritz in general, it means if you write if stuff { ... } and 'stuff' is a subroutine, that could be parsed as if stuff({...}) { block here to come }
vaskozl s/sk/ks/
moritz so the compiler tells you to either write if stuff() { } or if stuff({...}) { }, depending on which one you meant
in this case it was parsed as if :i / nyi ... 16:49
and the nyi was interpreted as a subroutine call without parens
which is why you got that error
vaskozl: as a piece of general advice: use more whitespace 16:50
vaskozl: there are some places where whitespace disambiguates 16:51
foo(1, 2) # calls &foo with two arguments
foo (1, 2) # calls & with a single argument, which is a two-element list
vaskozl moritz: arlight
thx
I can still use () around conditions right? 16:52
moritz vaskozl: yes, but you need to put a blank before the (
vaskozl: because stuff that looks like word( is always parsed as a subroutine call

(teaching is awesome, btw. moritz++)
i thought about TheDamian's latest talk abstract, the one about "perl 6 without the awe-inspiring parts" and i think that might make a pretty nice talk 17:07

timotimo i'm also not yet sure what i'll be talking about 17:13

btyler I've been poking off and on at a collection of blog posts or book sections called "plain old perl 6" with the same core idea (but with rather less expertise than TheDamian, of course).

FROGGS TimToady: can you please look at that and tell me if this would make things better or worse? gist.github.com/FROGGS/a78ff92ec5e7ce2f8fda 17:51
TimToady: the comment box shows what it does in short
[Coke] TimToady: it was something like "I could fight you now or jump jesus" 17:56
FROGGS wikipedia says it is the same as saying "Jesus Christ!"
but that does not fit well to your sentence 17:57
TimToady FROGGS: I can argue that one both ways, since * has a different meaning already in signatures, and it might or might not be confusing 17:58
it might be better to do the other thing, and allow $ where we know it's an lvalue list
FROGGS well yes, I'd like to have the "my (...) = ..." and "(...) = ..." form at least use the same thingies 17:59
I do not really care if it is dollar or the asterisk
well, that is not really true
I'd prefere the asterisk because even in the signature it would mean "slurp that one thing" (and throw it away) 18:00
TimToady except it doesn't mean slurp, which implies flattening the rest of the args
FROGGS hmmm, that did not imply flattening to me yet :o) 18:01

:P
TimToady anyway, we could turn those into anons and let the optimizer throw them away :)
FROGGS that sounds sweet
:o)
TimToady and then $ as rvalue would just be Any 18:07
but maybe we could catch that as std currently does
well, much like, but not the same 18:08
would depend on rvalue-ness, not non-decl-ness
so you'd have to notice after the initial parse of the $, somehow
alternately, just forget about the check, and let people pass $ as function args 18:10
which might have a use
for rw params that you don't care about the result
