R0b0t1 If I were to compare perl5 and perl6 to say, python2 and python3, how wrong would I be? 07:02
xiaomiao R0b0t1: green 07:04
brrt it would be wrong in the sense that python3 is supposed to be python2 cleaned
and perl6 maybe was supposed to be that once, but its now a thing of its own
R0b0t1 What do yo- oh right.
brrt iirc perl6 is meant to be the language that programmers will use a hundred years from now
R0b0t1 brrt: I see. So what did it implement that isn't merely "cleaning?" 07:05
R0b0t1 My, what lofty goals. 07:05
brrt ok, to compare, python 3 cleaned: metaclasses and unicode
iirc
perl6 changed syntax, object system, meta-object system, string encoding, i.e. the whole works 07:06
i think the right way to compare perl5 and perl6 is perhaps middle english and modern english?
most of the same structures are superficially there, but most of what you'd count as 'fundamental' has changed 07:07
R0b0t1 Well some of those things sound like internals... that'd be more like changing the alphabet perhaps? 07:08
I mean I was going to take a look at the grammar in just a second 07:09
FROGGS_ R0b0t1: the syntax has not changed that much... it still looks like a Perl 07:23
Ven
.oO( Unless you don't want it to look like it :P )
 07:25
R0b0t1 Ven: Howso?
Ven slangs
FROGGS_ I guess the most visible change is the dot for method calls, the ~ for string concat and the twigils 07:26
Ven masak: ping 07:27
it's 9 am and I'm looking for a conversation about weird stuff :P
moritz there are enough conversations about weird stuff on the internet 07:43
shall I find one for you?
Ven moritz: depends. are there about macro and slangs together ? 07:45
moritz cold fusion might be a good weird topic
Ven are they*
moritz forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.p...=150749133 07:46
Ven I'm not clicking.
moritz no images (afaict)
it does talk about macro and slangs 07:47
so does books.google.de/books?id=5KXdKLDym2...mp;f=false
ChoHag I have the code at gist.github.com/anonymous/1fab6c3c028192d89b31 to define a trait on an attribute. It uses apply_handles to create a wrapper around the attribute's accessor. 08:08
Line 22 fails with Cannot modify an immutable Any (or Str etc., if x is defined at foo.new time) 08:09
Ven actually remembers that "but" is immutable and "does" is mutable because "shorter is better". eh ...
ChoHag Ah but works. 08:10
I remember skimming over the explanation of the difference.
Ven `but` gives back a copy. `does` modifies it in place, destructively

jnthn Another hot place. 16:50
jnthn , meanwhile, heads out into the arctic summer to find some dinner and, hopefully, hike the nearby hill thingy. 16:51
ChoHag What does -> do? 17:07
And (where) is it documented?
TimToady lambda
timotimo "->" <signature> <block> 17:08
ChoHag How does that compare to sub <signature> <block>?
timotimo you mean "sub <name> <signature> <block>"?
ChoHag Ah right.
TimToady S06:Point_blocks
timotimo m: sub ($a, $b) { say $a }
camelia ( no output )
timotimo ah, that does work 17:09
TimToady S06:Pointy_blocks
ChoHag But:
m: sub ($a, $b) { say $a }.(1,2)
camelia rakudo-moar a7b4cb: OUTPUT«1␤»
TimToady it's much like an anonymous sub, but return won't work
because Blocks are transparent to return 17:10
timotimo ah, right
that's a good point
ChoHag Right, so they're (-> and sub) essentially the same without the layer of scope which would catch the return? 17:11
TimToady that's the main difference you'll ee 17:11
*see
technically, blocks are immutable, and routines aren't
so you can .wrap a routine, but you can't .wrap a block
TimToady of course, if you have a container, you can make it look mutable, as we do with string vars. 17:12
ChoHag How can I .wrap a routine without affecting the mutability of the result of callsame/callwith? 17:14
ChoHag I have $pkg.HOW.find_method($pkg, $accessor).wrap($routine) which I want to call the original accessor and fiddle with the result (and, if I can, the value going in). 17:16
TimToady generally you need to work with | and \ to keep things in terms of Captures and Parcels 17:17
don't use sigils for the intermediates
ChoHag Actually right now there isn't an intermediate.
TimToady and the wrapper might need to be declared 'is rw' as well 17:17
I doubt wrapping copies that for you. 17:18
ChoHag essentially: find_method(...).wrap({say "in accessor"; callsame})
How do I do that? I have the wrapper in a variable but it wasn't just "$r is rw" :(
TimToady sub (|) is rw { say "in accessor"; nextsame }
if that's all you want to do 17:19
you don't have to return to here with callsame unless you want to postprocess the args
s/args/returns/
ChoHag What does that mean "return to here"? 17:20
timotimo "callsame" acts like a call
"nextsame" acts like a goto
ChoHag Ah. 17:21
Right. Hence the s/// which I ignored.
colomon TimToady++
TimToady timotimo++ :)
ChoHag Hmm well now it reports as read-only, which I guess is an improvement.
TimToady de-elevating & 17:23
ChoHag gist.github.com/ChoHag/e1a910d6ac454aadb7b3 17:23
TimToady <de-elevated> 17:31
ChoHag Can you have a look at my gist? 17:31
And surely it should be delevevating? 17:32
ChoHag delevating 17:32
TimToady in a session right now
ChoHag Or devating maybe.
ChoHag deviate. 17:32
ChoHag bah. For someone, this is an easy problem. 17:33
ChoHag It's one of those obvious things I don't quite grok about the whole variable/container/object/instance magic. 17:33
smls rant of the day: Why does the syntax for inline comments have to be so strange? 17:51
smls Removing the backtick would be an improvement: #( bla bla ) 17:53
Wouldn't that work?
TimToady used to be, but it's problematic if you take a block and put # in front of each line
you don't want end-of-line comments accidentally turning into nested 17:54
FROGGS_ I somehow like #* ... *#
but I do not write comments anyway :P 17:55
I mean, it is source code after all :o)
smls TimToady: Maybe it could be restricted to one type of brackets then? 17:57
So no curly braces (which would probably cause the most trouble) 17:58
TimToady other DSLs could have different issues
and we're optimizing for extensibility 17:59
and comments ought to stand out visually
smls Personally, I tend to always edit code in an editor with syntax highlighting, and for commenting whole lines/blocks I use an editor shortcur which does the right thing
TimToady you can make a slang with your own commenting scheme :) 18:00
vendethiel how do slangs interact with macros ?
masak very well ;) 18:00
TimToady a macro is basically a mini-slang 18:01
vendethiel masak: BZZT! wrong answer
masak macros are just routines.
TimToady macros are like an elephant 18:02
masak if you can call them from your slang, you can interact with it.
vendethiel everytime I see nested stuff in perl 5, I go like "how do you remember that?". But I probably do the same all the time 18:08
masak "nested stuff"? 18:09
FROGGS_ interpolated stuff in quotes or regexes I guess 18:10
vendethiel masak: $a[0]->[0] or $a->[0][0] or $a[0][0] ?
FROGGS_ ahh 18:11
masak oh, that. 18:14
yeah. I can do it... but I prrefer not to :)
smls 1) sticking two postcircumfixes together is syntactic sugar for an arrow between them (so if you see [0][0], imaging [0]->[0]) 18:15
2) arrows dereference
^^ really all you need to remember
vendethiel "dereference" ?
Well, I'll learn about it with the book woolfy++ gave me at some point. 18:16
FROGGS_ yes, the array derefs
vendethiel I just don't really, uh, carry it out a lot; because it's heavy.
FROGGS_ $a[0] in P5 is about a variable @a
smls take a reference (which is a scalar value), and return the value that it points at (which can be any kind of scalr/array/hash/object)
vendethiel FROGGS_: that I know :)
FROGGS_ $a->[0] is about a variable $a that is an array reference
vendethiel prefers p6's way 18:18
ways*
raiph hi #perl6 18:20
vendethiel o/
smls vendethiel: yeah, although the Array/List/Parcel separation, container system, and dynamic flattening, add their own pitfalls & hidden complexities 18:20
raiph did anyone come up with a nice way to demo concurrency using camelia?
vendethiel smls: oh, you can see me going on about how I dislike flattening often enough ;) 18:21
smls :) 18:21
vendethiel Ricardo is a good speaker, eh. 18:27
psch gist.github.com/peschwa/661c66d89243b343ce20 # \o/ 18:28
running spectest now; i think i'll have to fix the existing tr/// tests
i at least remember one having a bunch of whitespace that aren't reflected in the expected results 18:29
smls TimToady: You know what would be cool? Allow matching a grammar/regex against a *list* of strings, and have a syntax for "match a string boundary here" anchors inside the grammar 18:30
masak don't the ^ and $ anchors already match a "string boundary"? 18:32
masak seems to me the only missing piece is the ability to keep matching after that. 18:33
smls In Perl, I sometimes concatenate multiple strings with null-bytes, and then use a regex on the combined string (to leverage the power of the backtracking engine to solve my multi-string comparison/matching/selection problems for me) 18:34
vendethiel uh.
smls but that feels dirty, is not always safe, and will probably not work in P6 (where strings are more hihg-level)
The second solution at rosettacode.org/wiki/Find_common_di..._path#Perl (which I added today) is one example 18:36
another use-case would the the parsing of command-line arguments which I talked about a while ago
(since those already come in partially pre-tokenized)
raiph .tell thou Your blog says "Let me know" but I see no obvious way to comment. What I'm sure anyone reading it wants to know is what you found out about control of your grammar's backtracking. 18:43

segomos_ jnthn: any hints as to why, if i exceed the number of max_threads in the $*SCHEDULER that it just stops processing? is there a way to just make it queue requests (or is that what it should do?)
ChoHag # Add to correct table depending on if it's a Submethod. Note, we 19:26
Metamodel/MethodContainer.nqp 19:27

smls yes, very cool 19:28
carlin m: my $x = return 1; say 'alive' 19:29
camelia ( no output )
smls TimToady: On a related note (to the multi-string regex matching), can grammars be made to transparently operate on a stream of tokens supplied by an external lexer? 19:34
PerlJam smls: what do you mean by "transparently"? 19:35
(because I'm pretty sure they're going to need to see each other to make that work :)
smls so you can refer to <foo> as if you had defined «token foo { ... }» in the same grammar 19:36
smls but instead, the token definitions are left out of the grammar, and the input is a list of token tokens that know their names 19:37
Pairs, probably
smls TokenList.new( 'digit' => '5', 'digit' => '2', 'alpha' => 'x' ).match(/ <digit>* <alpha> /) # so that this would match 19:39
TimToady that's one of those things that'll happen when someone decides to scratch their itch
smls or similar
TimToady but it's not on the critical path to 6.0, I suspect 19:41
timotimo I would like to see that feature 19:42
jnthn ChoHag: .^attributes gets you Attribute objects describing each attribute 19:43
jnthn segomos_: The only reason I can imagine it stopping processing is because something is "clogging" up all the threads 19:44
emilper I am attempting to use libgsl (GNU GSL) with NativeCall, but libgsl it misses a function from libcblas, and libgsl is not linked with libcblas at all supposedly so executables using libgsl could link with alternatives ... what options do I have ? I tried wrapping the missing function from libcblas and I can use it, but I get a segmentation fault when one of the libgsl functions I need is ran 20:01

sorry, skype reflexes
TimToady we should definitely get that to work somehow 20:04
FROGGS_ emilper: when you preload the libcblas, does it work then? 20:05
emilper yes
FROGGS_ then you just need to find a way to do that programatically
emilper .you mean find a way to compile libgsl linked with libcblas ? 20:08
FROGGS_ emilper: no, I was thinking that you preload the lobcblas from within rakudo 20:11
PerlJam this sounds hacky, but wouldn't something like: sub dummy is native('libcblas') {} # do it ? 20:13
lizmat if dummy exists in libclas ? 20:14
and if not ?
PerlJam I'm not sure when it actually does the dlopen() 20:15
jnthn Well, you'd have to try and call the dummy
Since it will loadlib on the first call
PerlJam gotcha
emilper pastebin.com/gTq48n8J 20:16
FROGGS_ jnthn: clearly NativeCall needs to expose a way to preload libs :o) 20:17
emilper that is how I got the segmentation fault
jnthn FROGGS_: Agree 20:17
FROGGS_ on the other hand, loading a lib on first call is an awesome thing to have... no fights with DynaLoader at BEGIN time for example... 20:18

TimToady .[] is a no-op
whereas .[*] is a slice 20:49
vendethiel and, yeah, seems like [1, 2, 3] interpolates quite seamlessly in a string. Not sure WDYM lizmat?

vendethiel yeah, alright; but what about arrays ?
smls Consistency, i guess. And [] is easier to type for interpolation. 20:58
vendethiel i still mean [*], not []
I get that [] is useful for interpolation -- it indeed is :)
smls .[*] and .values do seem to be synonymous 21:03
segomos_ jnthn: ahh..i have checked for something hanging in the thread pool but my requests exit normally. so maybe i need to take a different approach from 'await' and use the .then functionality ..

jnthn um...what on earth... 21:32
timotimo it should return those in order 21:33
er ...
no, i misunderstood
lizmat wrong scheduler ? 21:34
jnthn It does seem to work locally
No ideal what's going on with camelia there
lizmat does it also work correctly with the restricted setting locally ?
jnthn raiph: I'm not immediately sure what you mean with returning multiple values concurrently...other than await do for blah { start ... } 21:34
ChoHag lizmat: You grok this stuff more than a sane person should. Perhaps you can help me.

jnthn raiph: I did some examples of that in my climate data set talk at FOSDEM iirc
lizmat ChoHag: will look at it later, now watching YAPC::NA keynote
ChoHag Thankyou. It's short. 21:36
And simple, I think.
raiph jnthn: Thanks, I'll look at that. A P5er asked "Can you return multiple values from a sub?" I'm detailing some of the ways -- Positionals, Iterables. I was thinking a Supply (or .tap) or somesuch would be particularly interesting to a P5er. 21:41
[Coke] hopes YAPC::NA is -after- school gets out next year. :( 21:46
[Coke] (well, and also that I can convince work to send me. :) 21:46
lizmat blog.yapcna.org/2014/06/25/yapc2015...announced/
[Coke] nope. earlier than ever. :( 21:49
lizmat shutting down& 21:51
[Coke] ~~ 21:52
TimToady o/
TimToady goes to the hallway to see if anyone is there who is too shy to have come up earlier...
jnthn raiph: Well, supplies are all about *not* returning, 'cus they're doing async... :) 21:53
Return values - and wait to have one - is basically the definition of synchronous programming : 21:54
:)
*waiting, even
[Coke] looks like the eval server died on today's jvm run, but there's no error log for the eval server. last successful test was wwwroot/views/entity/pdf.cfm 22:04
er, was S32-io/IO-Socket-INET.t. 22:05
jnthn finally got around to scribbling a small blog post, after months of being quiet :) 22:21
And now, sleep...early flight...

timotimo yays
segomos_ is there a way to chain together an array of subs that return promises? for instance, a way to do @a = (sub { return Promise.new; }, sub { return Promise.new; }); @a[0].().then(@[1].().then ... etc 22:32
trying to find the right syntax (if there is one) and drawing blank
segomos_ also trying not use await ^ 22:33
lizmat socializing& 22:40
timotimo segomos_: i don't get what you're trying to do 22:45
i mean, i kinda get what you want to do, but not what it'd be useful for
segomos_ i guess maybe i need to do this differently..i was thinking that if i do chain sub calls with .then that i would avoid over promising and freezing the thread pool but this could happen anyway, just in a more linear fashion 22:48
segomos_ not really sure how to handle overloading the thread pool and halting all execution 22:55
carlin jnthn: in your blog post you say "we never actually get to specialize the loop code (because we never ." Think you missed a bit :) 23:02
segomos_ especially with IO::Socket::Async adding items to the thread pool
[Coke] jnthn: reading blog post. confusing sentence near "(because we never." 23:07
carlin++ # Coke too slow!
timotimo segomos_: you're not thinking right about this stuff 23:12
Promise.new doesn't start or occupy a new thread
start { ... } creates a promise and queues some code to be executed, which will fulfill or break the promise
Promise.then takes a code block, not a promise
