Added a better NFA dumper. Using this, I discovered that the NFA engine was spending 6-7% of its time just ignoring subrule edges. These edges are not used after subrules are merged, so they can be spliced out before the NFA engine ever sees them.		 08:55

masak enjoyed www.slideshare.net/ScottWlaschin/fp...ildstufflt 11:14
timotimo smls: it was part of a repository jnthn had made for one of his talks, i extracted it for him, but didn't think it'd be fitting to put it under timo/ 11:17

11:20 denis_boyun_ joined
mvuets what is the state of Test.pm? 11:22
is there a reference implementation?
moritz mvuets: there's a Test.pm shipped with rakudo
mvuets it spits warnings 11:23
wondering if worth fixing
moritz mvuets: what kind of warnings?
mvuets because: ## This is a temporary Test.pm to get us started until we get pugs's Test.pm / ## working. It's shamelessly stolen & adapted from MiniPerl6 in the pugs repo.
moritz seems it has evolved into a full one by now, with the comment being out of date 11:24
mvuets skip_rest emits this: use of uninitialized value of type Any in numeric context in sub skip_rest at lib/Test.pm:192
yeah, seems so. pugs' one does not even have subtest()
moritz still something more structured (see Test::Builder in p5) wouldn't be bad
mvuets: yes, worth fixing
mvuets so the testing api is defined in s24. does it mean Test implementation is up to language vendors? 11:25
moritz mvuets: correct 11:26

[Test.pm] remove outdated comment
 11:26
moritz mvuets: though of course language implementors are free to still from other language implementors (as far as license allows it)
mvuets hmm, do i understand it right that cannot be a Test distro on CPAN6 then?
dalek kudo/nom: 91d8995 | masak++ | lib/Test.pm:
[Test.pm] update copyright date
 11:27
moritz mvuets: well, not right now, though we do plan to support loading modules by authority (not just name)
timotimo maybe it'd be good enough to hotfix the GTK::Simple module so that i can guarantee it works for the advent calendar
but what cool thing could i build with it? :S
mvuets another question: perl6/roast.git seems missing subtest() tests - shall i try writing some? 11:28
moritz mvuets: yes please 11:29
timotimo: do you know anything about the run time performance of r-j vs r-m?
mvuets and how much we care for having smartlinks (those nifty things linking tests back to specs and hence embedding code examples in synopsis-es)? 11:30
moritz mvuets: not very much, at the moment
timotimo moritz: no :(
i haven't touched r-j in a long time
mvuets ok. because i found much with --check and TODO actually mentions it 11:31
masak who's doing Dec 1 in the Advent calendar? :) 11:33

masak great 11:35
ahh, but the schedule is far too empty for next week -- github.com/perl6/mu/blob/069bb68e7...4/schedule
moritz masak: agreed 11:36
masak preferably we should have all of next week, and preferably coming weeks, planned out by the end of today...
moritz masak: so, sign up :-)
masak ok, I can volunteer for one or two slots for next week.
just gotta figure out what to write about.
"Perl 5/Perl 6 comparison" sounds like a topic I could do. 11:38
moritz masak: also a summary of your current macro musings would be intersting 11:39
masak yes, but that would work better towards the end of the month, as I expect to have mused quite a bit more by then. 11:40

moritz :( 11:55
jnthn And introduced a different bug in the process, no? 11:56
jnthn doesn't know what to write about for advent
Don't think I can find time for a post in the first week (too much work/distractions) 11:57
But can do something after that.
moritz jnthn: you could always do a summary of what you worked on, or an example from some of the talks you gave, or a braindump what you're working on 11:58
JimmyZ_ jnthn: yeah
jnthn Is this the first advent we've had with Rakudo on Moar?
moritz it would be awsome if we could get our GSoC students to write about their projects for the p6advent
jnthn: yes 11:59
jnthn Hah!
moritz jnthn: I just checked, last year's "state" post said nqp was bootstrapped on MoarVM, but rakudo wasn't running on it
jnthn Then maybe I should write one about MoarVM :)
moritz jnthn: you should :-)
jnthn I know a little about it already, after all... :)
timotimo we could have a post that we can point annoying naysayers to who say "oh, when's perl6 going to be rewritten from scratch the next time? next week and the week after that again?" 12:02

smls moritz: "make the list-y types more transparent, list iteration faster, and more transparent when a list will flatten" -- maybe avoid repetition of 'transparent'
timotimo would suggest not using "more transparent" twice
%)
masak maybe not repeat "transparent" in the sentence? :) 12:08
masak suggests less repetition

smls moritz: s/will in some details/will fill in some details/ 12:10
timotimo ab5tract: would you like to contribute? :)
ab5tract i have some stuff written about the difference between set coercers vs composers in relation to sets
ab5tract suggests to himself less repetition for himself 12:11
timotimo: indeed. my goal was to have an async scraper for the advent calendar with a ncurses interface 12:12
but i've been repeatedly stymied on that front. it boils down to weird things happening at the HTTP::UserAgent layer.. I could try replacing it with LWP::Simple 12:13
masak ab5tract: please claim a slot in github.com/perl6/mu/blob/master/mi...4/schedule
timotimo ugh, ncurses 12:14
ab5tract timotimo: :) ... but it's a well-known library that can highlight NativeCall while also potentially wow-ing folks if one were to put an async-y layer over the top 12:16
timotimo mhm mhm
don't forget ncurses is not reentrant :)
ab5tract i doubt ncurses would ever let me forget it :) 12:18

timotimo with all the features of ANSI5
ab5tract timotimo: pure perl? 12:19
audreyt moves quickly :)
another thing i can discuss are the (potential) changes to the set comparison operators, of which my patch is sitting in limbo because i get distracted easily 12:20
timotimo pure perl, aye
ab5tract timotimo: that sounds like fun. hoelzro and i were discussing the repl environment, and "wouldn't it be nice to have an simple plugin interface" 12:22
timotimo to be honest, "pure perl" tends to mean "moarvm with asynchronous IO and multithreading" these days :P 12:23
ab5tract timotimo: i thought that was the whole point of perl 6 :P 12:24
ah, i see what you mean.. the moarvm bit
timotimo that or JVM
but as i said, i haven't touched that in a while
psch wonders if it makes sense to make perl6-bench use the evalserver 12:25
ab5tract it feels a bit undernourished, that backend. but that's a surface level observation.. i've never seen a blog post about NativeCall on JVM, for instance. i thought it would be fun to write an interface to Processing, but didn't get much farther than imagining it
timotimo psch: perl6-bench already subtracts start-up and compile times from benchmarks 12:28
psch timotimo: okay. but vm-warmup is a big-ish thing on jvm, isn't it? i guess i'd have to look how perl6-bench does it's benching in the first place 12:29
JimmyZ_ jnthn.net/papers/2014-yapceu-performance.pdf said while-empty was 4x slower than perl5, I think now they are the same :P
psch i guess that's actually the point of good benchmarks, to have code that will be optimized well eventually 12:30
12:33 denis_boyun left
psch huh, ./bench fails with "Missing or wrong version of dependency 'src/gen/m-BOOTSTRAP.nqp'" but the same perl6 from my env works when called directly..? 12:34
JimmyZ_ make clean in rakudo ...
and then rebuild 12:35
psch yeah, i've nuked install/ and ran git clean -xdf
timotimo psch: running a rakudo-j benchmark with all tests takes a LONG time. 12:36
12:36 kjs_ joined
psch timotimo: oh, i expect that - i don't really plan to run everything, i just want to have a hint re: mvm vs jvm on one or two tests 12:37
12:38 smls left
timotimo ah, so like --tests-tagged or --tests? 12:38
ab5tract timotimo: if it takes so long, it surely should use the evalserver ? 12:39
psch uh, probably? i haven't looked too closely yet at how i have to use perl6-bench... :)
timotimo the problem with the evalserver is that jit warmup is potentially shared 12:40
which would make the calculations be off
ab5tract ah 12:41
timotimo it'd be impossible to remove it just by subtracting timings and startup timings etc
ab5tract speaking of the spectest... is verbose output stored anywhere? 12:42
psch heh, maybe advocating the use of jakudo as a service is a good idea, then we can publish evalserver p6bench and claim that's real-world-use... :)
s/service/daemon/
timotimo you can run the "mumblemumble_summary" script to get verbose output 12:43
ab5tract find . | grep mumble # nothing 12:45
timotimo yeah, "mumble" stands for "something i don't remember" 12:49

timotimo or build gtk with brew or macports?

timotimo i know i can make GTK::Simple compile by removing the "use GTK::Gdk" line, maybe it'll also work to just put the GDK module's contents into the same file
[Coke] does not like this dizzy symptom. yikes.
tony-o are you sick too [Coke] ?
ab5tract lizmat: that is indeed good news
timotimo jnthn already found a few things on os x and made them better 14:10

lizmat was pretty sick yesterday and this morning...
some sleep here at the hackathon helped me a lot
fortunately, the office here has a nice area for a quick nap
tony-o i got sick yesterday on a bike ride still about 2 hours away from home
lizmat (which wasn't so quick in my case) 14:11
tony-o: that sucks...
tony-o timotimo: i get those errors with --asan and both env vars set 14:12
lizmat: being sick is always gross 14:13
ab5tract it is also good news that i've been worrying about my set changes breaking things, when in fact its endemic
lizmat as long as the test file runs ok by itself, you should be ok 14:14
at least, that's what I've been going by
jnthn Wow, so sickness... Hope y'all get well soon... 14:19
Yes, the OSX failures are a darn nuisance. Things are far cleaner for me than they were after a couple of patches, but still not clean :/ 14:20

lizmat hmmm.. that feels like a bug, as I seem to recall a Failure should survive a type check like that... 15:29
jnthn It's up for debate. It really hoses a good bit of compile time optimization if you can't actually trust your types. 15:31
So I'm generally against such magic.
The Nil discontinuity in assignment is already bad enough.
masak (fewer exceptions in the type system)++ 15:32
sounds to me like Failure wants to be a bottom type, though.
b2gills So the only course of action is to fail immediately in that case 15:35

smls moritz: Would "Data munging in Perl 6 vs Perl 5" be acceptable as a perl6advent topic? 16:10
Rather than focus on any particular Perl 6 feature, I'd do one or two small case studies for contrieved-but-practical usecases that involve reading stuff from a file, putting it into a data structure, transforming said data structure, and printing output. 16:11
I.e. the kind of quick-and-dirty scripting that sysadmins/powerusers/students/scientists etc. tend to use Perl 5 for in practice (as opposed to "professional programmers building full-fledged applications").
16:11 JimmyZ_ left
smls And hopefully show that Perl 6 can be a good replacement for Perl 5 in that area... :) 16:11
vendethiel smls: I actually have bad slides for a talk like that :) 16:12
smls I'd go through the Perl 5 and Perl 6 solutions for the case study side-by-side and step-by-step, noting not just superficial syntax differences, but how one would most idiomatically approach each step in each language.
vendethiel (that's pretty much 99% of my P6 use at $work)

smls I've already come up with a tiny case-study that allows me to show off «.lines» (as a lazy list!), «.map», a sigspace'd regex, a hash, «.grep», «.classify», «.comb», «.sort», and string interpolation. 16:16

smls (in 12 LOC, some of which are boring 'say' statements...)
