glaukommatos Soo, my understanding of the documentation for hash literals [ doc.perl6.org/language/syntax#Hash_literals ] is that I should be able to do my %hash = { three => 3 }; and end up with a hash with key 'three' and value 3 (duh!). However, I get an error from the compiler complaining about a useless use of a hash composer on the right hand side of the assignment. Replacing the curly braces with par 00:16
ens makes things work as I'd expect. However, the wording of the documentation is that the curly braces on a hash literal on the right hand of an assignment with a left side sporting a % sigil are 'optional' and I would expect that the assignment would work as I have typed it. Am I missing something, or is it possible that there is an error in the documentation?
timotimo not quite
either you have my %hash = foo => 123, bar => 999 00:17
or you do my $hash = :{ ... }
Skarsnik {} work to pass to a routine
timotimo that's right 00:18
glaukommatos Interesting. So it seems that the %lhs = ... assignment only works with the naked pairs?
timotimo the only thing you don't want is to assign a { } to a %var

code-hearsay ain 04:18
code-hearsay ain't no good
glaukommatos It's working now. I guess the @ in front of $a ensures that $a gets interpreted as an array?
timotimo i think it compiles to a call to .list
gfldex @-sigiled contains are ment to have elements of a list as their toplevel items 04:19
what is not the same then to have a List or Array as a top level item.
timotimo $-sigiled things want to be interpreted as a single thing 04:20
that's what you use $ sigils for, usually
however, in many cases, having a single $-sigiled thing as the only argument will iterate over it instead of treating it as a single item
that's the "single argument rule"
gfldex to make things more convenient and allow signature-fu @-sigiled containers spill their content into other @-sigiled containers on assingment

Don't always assume there is a problem when loading Readline/Linenoise

The old behavior would warn the user that there was a problem with loading Readline or Linenoise; however, that approach has three problems:
   1) It warns if neither is installed, even if the user doesn't care
   2) It doesn't say which between them failed
   3) It doesn't explain why they failed
This change makes it so that a warning is only issued if at least one of the two modules is installed, but there is some problem in how the module is set up. The warning also now contains the error message so users have more information to go off of		 04:31

perigrin to be fair Perl6 as it is _now_ got some of the ideas from Moose. 04:46

moose was written as a testbed for the perl 6 MOP

geekosaur glaukommatos, there is no reliable mapping between a perl 6 module name and the file it is in, because different modules with the "same" name may in fact have different sources (see the auth and ver modifiers, among others).

so if you have a module name like Test::(poop emoji) your file system will still be able to save it 06:21
er thats the sha1 of the dist (in the /dist folder, not sources) 06:22
then you look in that file and it will list the sha1 of all the modules it contains and map them to their real names

uvtc In Perl 6, it seems like variables have an extra level of indirection --- that is, $x points to / refers to a container, which actually contains the value. Is that indeed the case? It reminds me of how Clojure handles mutation: having a name point to, say, an atom, which then contains a value. 06:30
06:31 n0tjack left
uvtc But, unlike Clojure, in Perl 6 you don't need to explicity "decontainerize". In Clojure you have to explicitly deref the container. 06:32
06:33 yeahnoob left 06:36 sjoshi joined 06:37 pjscott left
uvtc Ah. Binding seems to bypass the container. `my @a := <foo bar baz>;` gets me a List rather than an Array, and that list is immutable... 06:40

ZoffixMobile nine, well, there's a wider usecase: developing a module for an application that takes a long time to load. For example, every change I make for an IRC bot plugin, I have to reconnect to the server. This is exacerbated by every error in the code that requires restarts. 12:43

lizmat the local dialect where we live, is more like the German "Danke" 12:59
FROGGS languages are awesome
hankache how many languages do you speek? 13:00

lizmat speaks Dutch, English, German and French (sort of) 13:02
13:03 xpen joined
hankache speaks Arabic, French and English 13:03
ilmari speaks Norwegian, Finnish and English
FROGGS well... German and English mostly... had Russian at school and can still say what my name and age is :D 13:04
hankache hehe
ilmari aurum pointed out at yapc::eu last year that whenever she hangs out with perl geeks, the conversation at some point turns to languages or linguistics
13:04 Ch0c0late left
FROGGS but besides that I like the fact that German (Latin / Central European) words, you can understand much of other languages 13:04
(besides French)
hankache oh lol 13:05
FROGGS err, my sentence was rubbish actually
but I really enjoy these intersections between languages 13:06
stuff like Kindergarden or Doppelgängers just to name some
hankache do they feel more like dialects of the same language?
FROGGS the languages itself not, just the words 13:07
ilmari english doesn't just borrow words from other languages. it knocks them out, drags them into an alleyway and goes through their pockets for loose vocabulary and grammar.
lizmat well, you could certainly argue that for Dutch/German, I feel
FROGGS like numbers etc
ilmari: *g*
13:08 xpen left
lizmat Well, German's "handy" would be another example of confusion :-) 13:09
FROGGS true
just explained that yesterday to my 6 year old
lizmat wonders why that never took off in the english speaking world
seems so logical :-)
hankache what is handy?
FROGGS also how the German seems to be called by the Polish 13:10
lizmat hankache: the question is really "what is a handy" :-)
FROGGS hankache: mobile phones are handy :o)
ilmari hankache: in german: a mobile phone. in english: a handjob
FROGGS O.o
hankache oh!
well in my country we use that word, it means cordless phones 13:11

how come use-ok work even without loading the module ?
doesn't it only looked if it is installed? 13:16

ZoffixW Skarsnik, nah. No error, but changing the Foo.pm6 doesn't change the output of the program
hankache **does it it only look if it is installed?
FROGGS hankache: no, it does an EVAL "use $thing" 13:17
13:17 pierre-vigier left
ZoffixW hankache, in P5, it actually loads the module for you. I don't see that part of the behaviour in P6, but I don't see why you need to `use` a module just to check whether it's `use`able :) 13:17
(loads the module so you can use its functions in the scope of your test)
FROGGS nods 13:18
hankache thanks :)
ZoffixW I am not saying it should. Just asking
13:19 CIAvash left
ZoffixW FROGGS, seems your code is cheating somehow 13:20
hankache see ya later #perl6
13:20 hankache left
ZoffixW If I put that class in a file and eval it with EVALFILE or EVAL 'Foo.pm6'.IO.slurp; I don't get the changed value 13:20
As in this: gist.github.com/zoffixznet/d8ed10c0be4dd19bfe8e 13:22
FROGGS ZoffixW: drop that -MFoo ? 13:23
and then access Foo as ::('Foo') after the EVALFILE 13:24
ZoffixW OMG! It works!
FROGGS++
FROGGS \o/ 13:25
13:26 virtualsue joined
FROGGS though I bet you cannot precomp the module that does the EVALFILE... at least not today 13:26
ZoffixW Sweet. I've successfully reloaded a module in a testcase :) Gonna see how well the method applies in real world code. This is what worked BTW: gist.github.com/zoffixznet/47f908a2cc42681472df
FROGGS, that's a minor issue, considering it takes me ~10 seconds to reconnect to the server every time there's a syntax error in my module :P 13:27
FROGGS yeah

El_Che nine: the out.close and exit status weirdness comes down to this bug: rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=125757 13:29
13:29 FROGGS left
ZoffixW RT for the LTA error discussed this morning has been created: rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127186 13:32
Affects DateTime too
El_Che so if $proc has a non zero exit status, $proc.out.close will die by design. At the same time you should call $proc.exitcode only after closing out, so you can not make the $proc.close conditional. Head explodes
13:32 ZoffixW left 13:35 n0tjack left
El_Che I suppose I can try-catch the exception, but it feels wrong (I will never get the real exitcode by example) 13:35

mort96 Hey, what exactly is the difference in perl between self and $ in methods? 13:39
lizmat self and $ ? 13:41
what's $ ?
llfourn lizmat: $.method
El_Che does my rambling make sense, if so, you I provide sample code?
lizmat ah, you can interpolate $.method in a string, you cannot do that with self.method unless you use curlies
13:41 Tonik left
llfourn learns something new lizmat++ 13:42
mort96 are they otherwise the same?
lizmat personally, I hate using $.method when it is actually just a method
because it gives you the idea it's an attrbute
llfourn mmm I think self.method and $.attr is a good convention 13:43
mort96 doc.perl6.org/language/classtut#Private_Methods that uses $!myproperty and self!mymethod
lizmat m: class A { method foo { $.say } }; A.foo # yuck
camelia rakudo-moar 505dc4: OUTPUT«(A)␤»
lizmat mort96: $!foo does *not* call a method, it's a direct access to the attribute 13:44
llfourn correction: self.method for methods, $.attr for superclass attr and $!attr for private attrs
(is my convention)
$!attr for local class attributes rahter :) 13:45
lizmat llfourn: sounds very sane :-)
mort96 so, in a class, I have `my Str $!host`, and in the new method, `return self.bless(host => $host)` (where $host is a local variable), and in another method, `say $!host`. That prints "(Str)" to the console, which doesn't seem right 13:51
13:51 n0tjack joined
lizmat mort96: don't you mean "has Str $!host" ? 13:51
El_Che ok,about my rambling: it's a regression (close did not use to throw an exception). I'll append it to the ticket
moritz mort96: you've declared a private attribute, which means it's not settable through .new and .bless 13:52
mort96 right, yes, it's has, not my
arnsholt Also, a custom new() method has to call BUILD on its own
moritz mort96: you can add submethod BUILD(:$!host) { } to make it settable
arnsholt: no
arnsholt: .bless does that
arnsholt Oh!
mort96 ugh, constructors in perl 6 are really weird.
arnsholt I thought it didn't! 13:53
moritz doc.perl6.org/language/objects#Obj...nstruction
llfourn protip: don't use private attributes unless you really want them to be private 13:54
mort96 well, it's properties nobody really has any business knowing 13:55
13:55 n0tjack left
llfourn mort96: I p6 doesn't have a good way of dealing with attributes that in one context are "public" ie you can set them in constructor, but in other contexts they are private. 13:56
s/I //
so I feel your frustration :) 13:57
lizmat feels to me that if you can set an attribute through the constructor, they ate by definition public
mort96 moritz: to have .new take a positional argument, must I then implement it and make it call BUILD and bless manually, or does some magic happen and do things?
El_Che rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=125757 <- Exception cause chicken-and-egg problem with proc.close and proc.exitstatus
exitcode
moritz mort96: method new($host) { self.bless(:$host) }; submethod BUILD(:$!host) { }
mort96: should be enough
mort96 alright 13:58
llfourn lizmat: you may want to have routines that create the objects to be able to set the attributes but routines that get passed them as an argument nnot be be able to see them IMO
moritz mort96: though it makes your constructors much more composable if you stick to named arguments
llfourn or at least when I program in other languages I use patterns like that 13:59
once I got used to p6 I don't find myself reaching for them
mort96 alright, I'll use named arguments, seems like that's the easiest 14:00

(why python uses append for push is beyond me) 16:31
Juerd alpha123: Not weird, just incredibly annoying.

Juerd alpha123: They do the same thing, only interpreting their arguments slightly differently. 16:32

bpetering timotimo: I'm trying with a Str (since that's what NativeCall docs say to use for char*)
gist: gist.github.com/bpetering/d30f940f5c3b3369a23e
(also, to my mind it seems like a Buf is the more appropriate type, but I'm just going along with the docs) 16:51
Skarsnik This should work
timotimo Buf works well, too.
really anything with VMArray repr should do the trick
Skarsnik what does it do bpetering ? 16:52
timotimo Str only works well when passed as a const char* (or whatever spelling means "can't change it") or returned from a native routine
since Str will always be encoded for you when passing to a C function 16:53
bpetering $out is empty
timotimo and that means you get a different memory area every time
passing a Str that's supposed to be changed from the C code will not work for that reason
bpetering timotimo: ah. makes sense
16:54 domidumont left
bpetering that clears up one confusion 16:54
Skarsnik hm nc give a copy?
timotimo don't forget Str is actually an opaque array of NFG codepoints 16:55
bpetering yeah, that's why I think Buf makes more sense
timotimo aye
bpetering C doesn't know about NFG codepoints
timotimo right, and exposing NFG codepoints should always be considered a bug in moarvm

bpetering anyway, changing to "Buf is rw" just segfaults 16:55
timotimo you don't need "is rw" there 16:56

Skarsnik You need to alloc/size the buf correctly 16:56
timotimo "is rw" would give you an extra * for the signature
that, too

Skarsnik: give a copy?
ZoffixW Fun example from our Facebook page. Without running the code, predict the output of the program: my $x = time; is-prime(2016 ** 2016 - 15175) and say $x - time;
Skarsnik You can try explicitly-managed on the Str, it change some thing on the string 16:57
timotimo ZoffixW: hm. 0?
ZoffixW timotimo, yeah :)
timotimo our is-prime is very fast due to being the stochastic method
also ... that's not a prime, eh?
ZoffixW timotimo, oh, that's what I first thought too, but nope, that's NOT the answer. The code takes forever to run due to raising to 2016 power and it *is* a prime 16:58
timotimo oh, eh?
ZoffixW timotimo, it's 0 because the expression inside .is-prime() is optimized at compile time to a proper number :)

excellent
i forgot about compile-time-evaluation 16:59
Skarsnik lol
timotimo yeah, if you have that in a module, the compilation will be slow, but running it will be very fast every time
bpetering Skarsnik: no segfault, but no output either
timotimo: is there a way to size/alloc a Buf without passing a nonsense list (of the appropriate size) to .new? 17:00

18:12 leont joined
ZoffixW I think it'd need to be more comprehensive thatn black/white list characters only. A filename with just spaces in it is not valid, for example. 18:13
And what's shocking is it works on Linux... and ls -alF fails to show it :o
geekosaur whispers "-b" 18:14
or -1, which at least would clue you in a bit
ZoffixW That works -b
geekosaur oh, -l would imply that anyway 18:15
ZoffixW Oh, it does show up with -alF. It's just not very obvious when it's a single file :P
geekosaur on posix systems any character except / and \0 can be a filename component. but tools like ls will not always do something sensible
18:16 lichtkind joined
geekosaur (interestingly I note gnu ls seems to handle another screw case there: the filename $'\n\n\n' (in bash syntax) shows as '???') 18:17
lichtkind why want to create a directory? 18:20
ugexe the fact the spurt returns True although it does not write anything to it is strange
you dont want to, its to prevent injection attacks
if you use $some-url.basename.spurt(get($some-url)) and it returns true even though it does not create the correct path or write anything to that file it can also lead to problems/confusion 18:22
so even if you think you sanitized the path, how do you actually check 18:23

[Coke] nine++ # use v6.d 18:46
japhb nine: Now that the precomp stuff has settled a bit, what's the recommended way to have a library of local modules to be used for personal scripts, but that doesn't make those scripts really slow to load. Should I be making a library project tree, and 'panda install .' every time I edit one of the libs? If so, is ufo still the right tool for making that project tree locally installable? 18:47
ZoffixW japhb, the first time you use those modules, they'll precompile in the .precomp folder
(i.e. you don't need to install anything)
japhb ZoffixW: So even stuff that's just referred to via -Ilib or RAKUDOLIB or 'use lib "lib"' or so will all precompile properly? 18:48
ZoffixW Yeah
japhb \o/
Oh that makes things way easier.
It does mean that my "rebuild the world" script should probably end by running a child script that 'use's all my local modules, just so I can make sure they are precomped even after a total rebuild (which I do nearly daily) 18:50
18:50 cdg joined 18:51 araujo left
japhb ZoffixW: Er, where does the .precomp folder end up? 18:52
Wait, it ends up in .../rakudo/lib instead of .../rakudo/install/lib ? That seems ... odd. 18:53
Also, how can you tell which modules are loaded from already-precompiled forms, and which had to be compiled on the fly? 18:54
18:54 araujo joined, araujo left, araujo joined
ugexe at the moment, probably have to capture output from RAKUDO_PRECOMP_DEBUG or whatever or check if the sha1 of the source exists as a file at some location 18:55
ZoffixW jdv79, my wild guess is it ends up in the /lib path under which the module was found: gist.github.com/zoffixznet/7678f694d110ad8fd479
nine [Coke]: I'd hoped this would make you happy :) 18:56
cygx if you pass a -I manually, it apparently ends up in the first of those
cygx still hasn't read up on it precompilation :(
s/it// 18:57
ZoffixW A better example: gist.github.com/zoffixznet/2ff5b21a26db9c6453a8
Ah
nine japhb: the major difference between an installation repo and a plain -I is that the former supports versioning, auths and apis. If you use lib or -I or PERL6LIB to load from a plain directory, those modules will always be loaded regardless of requested version or auth. 18:58
ZoffixW I don't really care where it ends up, as long as it works ^_^
nine japhb: other than that, both do precompilation on first load
japhb: when you run with -Ifoo/lib we store precompiled files in foo/lib/.precomp 18:59
japhb: without any PERL6LIB or -I or use lib we store in ~/.perl6
japhb nine: Ah, OK, thank you 19:00
nine japhb: RAKUDO_MODULE_DEBUG=1 or RAKUDO_PRECOMP_LOG=1 may answer questions about which modules had to be precompiled
[Coke] hopes someone takes that ^^ and adds it to a precompilation doc page.
japhb [Coke]: Agreed.

tony-o suwhy would we store all the precomp files in ~/.perl6 ? 19:33
lichtkind -> is way to high in precedence table
nine tony-o: because precompilation on installation doesn't work anyway, or at least not usefully. And people don't like those .precomp directories. 19:34
RabidGravy hoelzro, yeah, I think it's infact a libuv thing. If it does gethostbyname it just uses the first adress it gets and if that's a v6 address where the socket isn't listening it fails

given that it'd go faster for everyone
jnap if we agree I'm happy to give a patch, if I can find the docs somewhere
ugexe it makes it a pain to upgrade
masak now that Git has no trouble deepening a shallow clone, I think it's a good default
ugexe: how do you mean?
tony-o i think separate the precom stuff from the source
nine: ^ 20:54
ugexe i've tried a bunch of iterations of --depth=1 shallow-clone, and whatever other options i can find and eventually it will fail to update because of a deleted or added file
jnap I only mention because I'm on today my cellular data, since my DSL is flaky :)
hmmm 20:55
tony-o i don't think anyone really cares if it's in a .precomp folder, arguably it's better since you can remove .precomp stuff more easily and find it more easily. it also makes upgrades easier, it makes version control a lot easier, there are a lot of benefits to doing it that way and the only real downside is having two folder trees with files of similar name in them

tony-o nine: the other thing is that *not* doing something because something else is broken is how we end up with a 'wtf' scenario a year from now, if precomp is broken then just don't load precomp files currently. it was working a year ago, is there some reason we cannot revert?

ab6tract strange.. 21:18
my minimal example has me confused about why my code isn't working 21:19
masak in BUILD, `self` refers to the new object (which has already been created at that point by `.bless`)
but since we're not out of construction yet, you're not meant to call instance methods on `self`, only set bang attributes 21:20
trying to call instance methods at that stage, besides being disallowed, is just asking for inheritance-based dependency trouble

So I probably won't run 6.c all that often and others won't, too ;) 22:12

alber The error happened at 'make 'install' after Configure.pl and make finished successfully.
tony-o nine: i don't think we have to, i think it was more stable and much less finicky than a year ago. it also wasn't designed to have to do precomp for every user that might use a module 22:13
nine diakopter: but the git checkout will fail if there's local changes. So we need git stash in between. And make sure to only git stash pop if we actually stashed anything, and...

22:13 colomon left
nine tony-o: it also did precompile a lot less and startup times were a lot worse 22:14
alber The error happened on Archlinux

tony-o what did it not precomp a year ago? 22:14
nine -Ilib for example 22:15
22:15 _nadim left
tony-o why would i want that to precomp ? 22:15
nine also after a change to an installed source file, you did have to remember to delete the precomp file and very few users would now how to recreate them
Because it loads so much faster? For example the test suits?
tony-o it doesn't load faster if you have to modify the source 22:16
alber Could someone advise please why this error could happen?
nine Precomp makes a factor 5 difference for Inline::Perl5's test suite
You only pay the compilation cost for a single test file, not for all of them.
22:16 xpen left
nine That's 29 test files for Inline::Perl5 and that number is growing. 22:16
tony-o there are very few people that care about how fast Inline::Perl5's test suite runs 22:17

tony-o including me 22:17
in fact, if i'm running a test suite, i don't care about precomp at all in case i need to fix a bug 22:18
nine tony-o: there are lots of people developing modules with more code than Inline::Perl5 and who write more tests than me so they will wait even longer
tony-o in fact, if i'm running a test suite, i don't care about precomp at all in case i need to fix a bug
lizmat tony-o: the old precomp system was untenable, as it would add to bare startup time, like 30 *econds* if you have like 100 modules installed
*seconds
nine Oh yes, there was that, too. 22:19
22:19 jsimonet joined
tony-o that's a problem that is worth fixing but doing a fix that has such a huge scope to correct a minor issue doesn't seem like a great plan 22:19
lizmat to give you an idea of the speed increase: settings take about 60 seconds to compile on my machine, it takes .1 second to load precompiled
that's 600x faster
nine tony-o: and you really don't care if your test suite runs in 20 seconds or 3 minutes?
22:20 DrParis_ joined, skarn joined, [Tux] joined
tony-o that's not any faster if you have to re-precomp every time you want to run a test suite 22:20
lizmat most importantly, if I recompile the settngs now, I don't need to reinstall all modules with panda all over again
tony-o i mean, yea if you ignore the process as a whole, that makes sense
lizmat which means, there's a much lower threshold to find out about ecosystem fallout
moritz tony-o: if you have 10 test files, you'll precompile every module only once
tony-o but stealing from one hand to give to the other isn't an accurate comparison 22:21
diakopter ^_^ it runs in 2 minutes with the deserialization fix [still in a moarvm branch]
oh, 20 seconds, should be even faster
22:21 llfourn joined
tony-o moritz: i understand that, but if i go change a source file then it needs to be re-precomp'd .. i get it for installed modules which is a whole other issue (precomp per user, why?).. for module development it doesn't make sense to have jump through that hoop until you think your source is solid 22:22
and yes, i'd rather wait an extra minute for my module to test than have to deal with a finicky precomp system
Juerd Lots of rosettacode examples "say" a list, which then gets ( ). One solution is to prefix the list with "|" but then the whitespace in between the elements is also gone
alber Could someone advise please the appropriate place where Rakudo installation problems should be reported? 22:23
ZoffixWin tony-o, just yesterday, I was working on a lib with ~8 files loaded with -Ilib. The start up without precomp was about 9 seconds, while nearly instant with it *even if I modified one of the files*.

nine tony-o: please try to listen
tony-o i am listening. 22:26
i'm waiting for you to say something other than 'its faster'
i care more about reliability than speed
nine So what reliability problems are there?
tony-o and having it sometimes work and sometimes not seems like a bigger issue than loading modules a little more quickly
22:26 brrt left 22:27 llfourn left
diakopter imho, the precomp system should be totally seamless and behind-the-scenes (invisible)... if it isn't, or someone writing/installing a script or module has to worry at all about precomp or not, then it's done wrong and needs fixing 22:27
tony-o aside from the ones you're not listening to? read the logs.
nine diakopter: so we fix it
tony-o this is broken, it's built on a boiler plate that was meant for a discussion - not an implementation
nine tony-o: no, I'm going to bed rather than have this pointless discussion. I will not do your work for you. You want a change? At least have the decency to argue for it.
stmuk_ I do find the SHA hash filenames make debugging harder but guess that can be fixed in time 22:28
nine stmuk_: it can, and it will.
moritz tony-o: I think it's best if you file rakudobugs for each issue, and point nine++ to them
tony-o nine: lol. okay. ignore the evidence and claim victory. that's a wonderful way to live life.
stmuk_ nine++
moritz tony-o: that path worked very well for me in the past

ZoffixWin nine++ # indeed, as mentioned before, the speed boost is very noticable

ZoffixWin: your awesome module I mean 22:50
ZoffixWin: what's the right place to submit plugins, by the way?
ZoffixWin AlexDaniel, heh, it's fine. I see some Annoying Things with it anyway and will change them. So far, just using listening to irc-to-me event and responding with $irc.respond: |%res, :what('blah blah'); is non annoying. The rest is stupid :) 22:51
AlexDaniel ZoffixWin: aww!
ZoffixWin As for nickless thing, it'll likely it'd be triggered with "div by zero @", because I'm adding a feature where you can make the bot tell the thing to someone by doing "foo @ Zoffix", so by omiting the nick, you can make it say "m: blah"
AlexDaniel, submitting plugins? Well, first and obvious, you can just release them as normal modules. If you think they should be in the core distro, submit an Issue/PR on github.com/zoffixznet/perl6-IRC-Client/ 22:52
AlexDaniel ZoffixWin: oh, looking at modules directory it seems like you expect every plugin to be a separate module. Ok
gfldex picking up a loose and I dropped yesterday, here is my attempt of a 6ish webframework. Your kind comments are very welcome. github.com/gfldex/perl6-ballet/blo...s/basic.p6

AlexDaniel gfldex: awesome! Amazing! Great! 22:53
gfldex: I'll take a look shortly
ZoffixWin AlexDaniel, yeah, pretty much. I do have some P5 plugins that I grouped by topic, so a single dist installs multiple plugins, like metacpan.org/release/POE-Component...evelopment and metacpan.org/release/POE-Component...undle-Toys and
flussence I like the use of traits for basic http stuff there 22:54

flussence managing headers inline with the code is as bad as mixing code and HTML, IME 22:54
ZoffixWin doesn't TBH 22:55
Looks like spaghetti to me.
RabidGravy :)
gfldex next experiment is type safety to prevent missing quotes
AlexDaniel Actually, I just use ｢Tag｣ module for html stuff
tony-o lizmat: that's fine if doing it yourself is an option. having a hissy fit about trying to talk about design problems is something else. 22:56
flussence ZoffixWin: I guess you could argue the thing that makes a sub a route is too much typing here...
ZoffixWin Well, I was mostly complaining, but what really stands out to me is the inline HTML stuff 22:57
That's like CGI.pm era
flussence oh that, I wasn't even talking about that...
lizmat tony-o: why is doing it yourself not an option for you ?
flussence it's alright for a one-screen demo, but I'd never do that in real life
Juerd b2gills: I've removed most of the code you wrote for
masak 'night, #perl6 22:58
lizmat gnight masak
RabidGravy you could do some EXPORTHOW::DECLARE thing to make like "ballerina { ....... }"
tony-o because i don't have access to merge PRs on the repo and if they go ignore/rejected then there isn't much else i can do about it then try to discuss it with the person doing the work
awwaiid nine (or others): are there any examples of hooking in to "use Foo:from<bleh>" yet?
Juerd b2gills: I've removed most of the code you wrote for rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=...did=213215 -- Maybe start a blog, or submit documentation to doc.perl.org? :)
tony-o i wrote a precomp to the docs over a year ago and it was rejected
AlexDaniel ZoffixWin: there's no problem with that, in fact it is pretty convenient if your page has lots of autogenerated stuff
flussence RabidGravy: I was *just* looking at OO::Monitors to see how it does that :)
Juerd b2gills: I think the huge amount of code for a very simple operation is a good way to scare beginners away. 22:59
tony-o there isn't much else that's more 'do it yourself'
AlexDaniel ZoffixWin: but sure there's no one thing that would fit all
lizmat tony-o: maybe you need to work on accepting rejection ?
ZoffixWin gfldex, well, I'd like to see more :) We really do need a decent web framework.
tony-o i've accepted it and am trying another method, thanks for your input though
lizmat reminds tony-o she has the most reverted commits in core
tony-o i'm not arguing because my stuff was rejected, i'm arguing because i want something to work
if you want to live in a hug bubble then the real world may not be for you 23:00
lizmat well, then I suggest we argue less and do more
diakopter pushed quite a few hundred-thousand line commits to moarvm before jnthn helped me rewrite history (this was when generating unicodedb.c or whatever)
tony-o avoiding the argument gets you in a position where every user has to have their own precomp for a module that is installed system wide 23:01
very nearly identical to the current trajectory of precomp
lizmat tony-o: I prefer a hug bubble to the cut-throat flame wars on p5p of log forgotten times
*long
ZoffixWin tony-o, does it? I think only -Ilib has .precomp in the lib. The rest are precomped in the installation dir
diakopter to be fair, this is a very-much unsolved problem in computing (repeated code, in every sort of form) 23:02
tony-o i don't think anyone has forgotten the cut-throat'edness of p5. p5 is actually productive, though.
gfldex the advantage of traits is that they are called pretty early. If return types are to be enfoced, it can bail as soon as it spots the first faulty one.
23:02 inokenty joined
tony-o ZoffixWin: this is in reference to saying that the precomp direction is to to put al precomp modules into ~/.precomp 23:02
diakopter god knows how many variously-hand-optimized implementations of common datastructures there are in a 8.5GB installation of Windows 10 23:03
tony-o so, yes, that is the current direction. it's in ref to a discussion between ugexe and nine had yesterday. which is part of the reason he doesn't want to read the logs
ZoffixWin gfldex, neat. And you know what's even more awesome. You can do parameter validation with custom types! use My::Fancy::Types; sub social-security (ValidSIN $sin) { ... }
ZoffixWin is now excited
lizmat tony-o: fwiw, I don't want to read the logs either anymore.... there are just too many of them 23:04

yoleaux 22:45Z <bpetering> Skarsnik: I've added a whole bunch of features to gptrixie function stuff, including putting the C definition above the generated subs github.com/bpetering/gptrixie
Skarsnik oh nice
bpetering Skarsnik: (I also broke void* pointers, but everything else works, and speeds up libsodium binding work by about 10x, so thanks :) 23:31

bpetering Skarsnik: let me know if you want a pull request at any point 23:32
Skarsnik I need to rewrite the part that get the data form xml to do it in 1-2 pass x)
zwu I don't understand the code line my (*@x) := foo(); # signature binding in the design doc. I tried to run, not sure what should the variable @x be.
23:32 felher left
Skarsnik and use Gumbo to parse the xml 23:32
XML is slow
bpetering Skarsnik: tell me about it :P
23:33 RabidGravy left
Skarsnik Well I will look at getting Gumbo parsing XML file tomorrow. Gumbo is a C html5 parser, but it can parse everything that look like xml x) 23:33

bpetering sounds good :) 23:34
mr_micawber I just posted a short question on reddit.com/r/perl6 as infoaddicted if anyone would care to check it out. It's about flattening. 23:36
ZoffixWin mr_micawber, flatten into what? 23:37
You could slip it
Skarsnik bpetering, let the void* be Pointer. you can always nativecast them later 23:38
zwu what is signature binding? Can you please show example code? Thanks!
bpetering Skarsnik: ok

ZoffixWin mr_micawber, what's the result you expect from what?
mr_micawber not sure how to use the chatbox right :-/
ZoffixWin Type "m: " followed by the code you want to execute 23:41
Skarsnik ZoffixWin, I was wondering what to you use to parse the doc?
ZoffixWin m: [('a1', 'b1') ('a2', 'b2')]>>.flat

ZoffixWin :(
23:41 zhmylove left
ZoffixWin Skarsnik, parse which doc? 23:41
Skarsnik p6 doc
ZoffixWin Skarsnik, never used p6 doc in my life :)_ 23:42
Skarsnik Your bot!

Skarsnik Or you use some toc in p6/doc? 23:42
ZoffixWin m: say [('a1', 'b1'), ('a2', 'b2')].Slip>>.Slip
camelia rakudo-moar 0fa13c: OUTPUT«((a1 b1) (a2 b2))␤»
ZoffixWin How to get this to end up as <a1 b1 a2 b2> ? 23:43
23:43 zhmylove left
ZoffixWin Skarsnik, what do you mean "parse the doc"? 23:43
Skarsnik To get the doc link
23:44 zhmylove joined
Skarsnik bpetering, I would like a pr (but remove the precomp file x)) 23:44
ZoffixWin Skarsnik, ah, I just used a P5 script: github.com/zoffixznet/perl6-IRC-Cl...load-db.pl
(it has a bug that doubles /type/type in the URL ATM)
bpetering Skarsnik: sure :o) 23:45
ZoffixWin Skarsnik, which just parses this page: docs.perl6.org/type.html
(as I've said, the bot ATM only knows the types)

diakopter aw you have to reset the process ;) 23:49
ZoffixWin So far yeah :) 23:50
And read the docs to fix compile errors apparently :P 23:51

AlexDaniel ZoffixWin: would be more useful if it was just .module 23:57
ZoffixWin yeah
AlexDaniel huggable: hugg 23:58
huggable AlexDaniel, nothing found
ZoffixWin Eventually I'll add that :)
ugexe those links point at distro names as well, not neccesarily modules
23:58 mr_micawber joined
ugexe search `provides` to find the true distro name 23:59
