rindolf Hi all, is there anything that can be done about the Perl 6 behaviour quirks mentioned in these quotes from a facebook thread - paste.debian.net/417281/ ? 09:25
Like - something I meant is not doing the right thing and the code runs but yields a wrong result. 09:26
teatime hrm, none of his examples seem very, well, convincing. 09:28
rindolf teatime: convincing? 09:30
teatime: and I am Shlomi Fish.
teatime ok, first, I know very little about Perl6, and haven't done Perl5 for several years. So I'm probably wrong. But, I'll say my bit anyway. 09:31
ok the first example is “+{}” returns 0 instead of a hash reference.
when would you ever actually do that? 09:32
rindolf teatime: I did it because I assumed it would be the same as Perl 5.
teatime why would you do that in perl5 ?
rindolf teatime: I wanted to disambiguate between a hash ref and a block.
teatime: to disambiguate between a hash ref and a block. 09:33
teatime fair enough, I see that's even recommended by perlref 09:35
09:35 Begi joined
teatime #3 seems to boil down to "the following operators do something different in perl6 than in other random languages including perl5, so when I paste code from other random languages into a perl6 file, it doesn't execute correct." 09:36
nine rindolf: they're not quirks in Perl 6 but quirks in Perl 5 that have been fixed
rindolf nine: 09:37
nine: I disagree.
nine: perl6 accepts and runs them fine, but they do the wrong thing and then you spend many minutes debugging. 09:39
teatime rindolf: I don't think you should expect random perl5 code to be valid, equivalent perl6 code.
this doesn't even work very well for python2 -> python3, which are much more similar than perl5 and perl6.
rindolf teatime: I don't , but coming from Perl 5 , I find a lot of the Perl 6 I write or port to be errorprone and silently accepted. 09:40
Why would [+] (map ... ) evaluate the map in numeric/scalar context? Who would ever want to do that? 09:41
What good is +{ ... } returning 0?
At least it should err or warn on those. 09:42
teatime rindolf: it might have to read your mind? to know you meant other than you wrote?
in the general case, I mean. you might could make a case in specific instances. 09:43
like, a C example. "if (a = b)" will generate a warning, because it's a common error, and almost never intended. but the warnings you want, may fall into neither category? 09:44
arnsholt As regards prefix:<+>, it's the operator that converts to numeric. For hashes, IIRC, the numeric value of a hash is the number of entries in it
m: my %x; %x<a> = 1; say +%x
camelia rakudo-moar 843741: OUTPUT«1␤»
arnsholt Thus, +{} is 0 since it's empty
09:44 RabidGravy joined
rindolf arnsholt: ok, I wish it was done in a more explicit manner. 09:45
arnsholt For #2, since adding flat helps, it sounds like a list semantics thing (which I haven't properly assimilated yet either)
09:50 tmch joined
nine rindolf: the numeric values of an array or hash is the number of their elements. Does that not make sense? 09:54
09:54 iH2O joined
rindolf nine: it does, but it can behave in a quirky manner. 09:56
09:56 iH2O left 09:57 vendethiel left
rindolf Anyway, this discussion is going nowhere. 09:57
09:59 vendethiel joined 10:04 virtualsue joined
nine rindolf: I'd argue that Perl 6 would be less of a Perl if it didn't have shortcuts like +%h and required you to be more explicit (Zen of Python #2). Now having a numeric operator return a Hash was a straight forward mistake that made no sense at all in a language where operators determine the type of operation instead of variables. 10:07
So Perl 6 sticks much more to the spirit of Perl in this case than Perl 5. 10:08
rindolf nine: fine, I guess I'll have to accept that my Perl 6 code will be errorprone. 10:12
nine rindolf: it will only be if you take code from other languages and expect it to work just the same in Perl 6. That said, Perl 6 has helped me often with informative error messages when I accidentally used Perl 5 syntax. It just cannot catch every case. 10:14
masak antenoon, #perl6 10:16
rindolf masak: morning.
masak rindolf: just jumping into this conversation -- sorry about that -- but when you say "it does, but it can behave in a quirky manner", all I hear is "I'm not quite used to Perl 6's behavior here yet" 10:18
for both arrays and hashes (and other container-y types), prefix:<+> means the same as `.elems`. it's quite consistent and non-quirky 10:19
pmurias rindolf: is accidently numerifing Hashes a common error? 10:20
masak arguably, if you want to project container types down into a single scalar number, its *size* is a prime candidate for that number
a container type*
masak is too tired to grammar
10:21 labster left
rindolf pmurias: well, it happened to me at least once and now I'll need to remember to avoid it. 10:22
El_Che is reading rindolf's url 10:23
10:23 perlawhirl joined
pmurias rindolf: in Perl 5 you also have to avoid doing that 10:26
rindolf pmurias: like %one + %two? 10:27
TEttinger I'm in the process of ungolfing (in a way) a piece of java code. in another sense I can still golf it.
Hello, World!
{'$' << (',' ^ '-'), '`' | ('-' - '('), '$' << (',' ^ '-') | '$', '$' << (',' ^ '-') | '$', '\\' + '@', ',', ' ', '(' + '\\', '\\' + '@', '\\' + '\\', '$' << (',' ^ '-') | '$', '\\' + '\\', '!'};
no alphanumerics used at all, still able to say Hello, World 10:28
rindolf TEttinger: this is Java?
TEttinger it does need new char[] before it
yes
rindolf TEttinger: ah.
TEttinger most people don't know java allows bitwise ops on chars
rindolf TEttinger: maybe it treats characters as integers.
TEttinger the one unsigned integer type, yeah
rindolf TEttinger: this looks like obfuscation rather than golf. 10:29
TEttinger it can be golfed down
many of these combinations may have better versions
pmurias rindolf: +%foo also doesn't warn in Perl 5, it's just that the chance that it fails silently is bit bigger

masak rindolf: ...but do you not agree that it's more consistent like this? because `+` means "numeric addition" as an infix, `~` means "string concatenation", so it makes sense that the prefix versions numify and stringify (respectively) 10:40

that... somewhat raises the bar required to do anything sensible with them 10:53
I've already got a (dirty, unwholesome) regex-based test in place in the 007 test suite. it's working fine, I guess. but help me replace it with a QAST-based one! :D

11:08 virtualsue left
masak pmurias: that's a biggish question. 11:09
pmurias: fortunately, I don't feel I have to provide an excellent answer to it until-and-unless it becomes clear that Q is the right choice not just for macros in Perl 6, but for Perl 6 AST handling as such. 11:10
I'm reading the QAST dump now... and I'll say this: it's looking good for Q :P
(I don't mean to disparage QAST. it's clearly doing vital work for Perl 6 compiler code manipulation/generation) 11:11
11:14 iH2O joined
pmurias there is a big difference between handling Perl 6 AST as a transformable representations of the program and using it as a processed form that's suitable for compiling 11:17
RabidGravy wonders idly if making a grammar for "drum tabs" is worth it
masak pmurias: full ACK 11:19
pmurias: ...which, I guess, is the same thing as saying that there will be a place both for QAST and for Q
arnsholt masak: Regarding using NQP stuff in Perl 6, don't you need to make the arguments Mu? 11:21
To the Perl 6 subs, that is. NQP things not being subtypes of Any 11:22
masak arnsholt: good tip. 11:23
masak tries
m: use nqp; my $foo = nqp::getcomp('perl6').compile('say 42', :target('ast'), :compunit_ok); sub hmm(Mu $node) { say "this works!" }; hmm($foo); 11:24
camelia rakudo-moar 843741: OUTPUT«this works!␤»
masak arnsholt++ # nice!
arnsholt I think Perl 6 code I've seen that does NQP stuff also tends to bind the results of the operations
masak yeah, that'll simplify my life a bit
ok, good to know
arnsholt Probably some kind of interaction with containers, but not sure what
masak as far as I can see, I can't access *names* like `QAST::CompUnit`
but if I want to typecheck, I can always do something like `if $node.^name eq "QAST::CompUnit"` -- like a barbarian 11:25
arnsholt Hmmm, that's trickier
pmurias masak: there might also be a place for a QAST replacement that fully embraces it's role and is easily optimizable, full of stuff that helps compilations etc. 11:26
masak pmurias: sounds awesome. 11:27

Guest11071 Thank you for helping me out, hope you'll be able to figure out what's wrong 13:27
psch++, lizmat++ # hope that's the correct lingo :-) 13:29
lizmat yeah, that's about it, Guest11071++ :-)
psch Guest11071: as lizmat says, segfaults are never a waste of time :) 13:30
... well, alluded to at least vOv
Guest11071 i'll check the weechat manual and get a proper nick but dogbert was taken :(

RabidGravy LAWKS! 13:59
perl6++
so you may remember a while back I was wondering about the stability of the Supply.interval 14:05
well
rabidgravy.com:8000/stream
psch it's more stable than meg white live?
RabidGravy sequencing that live 14:06
psch amen brother :P
RabidGravy++ 14:07
RabidGravy took longer to parse the drum tab than make the program ;-) 14:08
Begi m: ("Hello World !").grep: '!';
camelia ( no output )
Begi m: (("Hello World !").split('')).grep: '!';
camelia ( no output )
psch m: say "Hello World !".contains('!')
camelia rakudo-moar 843741: OUTPUT«True␤»
Begi Ahh, that's what I was looking for, thanks psch : 14:09
psch RabidGravy: now just bring the acid bass back, occassionally shuffle a few 8th or 4th of that drum beat around and presto, breakcore :) 14:10
RabidGravy quite a nice drum kit for the stock fluidsynth GM kit 14:11
psch sounds a bit heavy on the reverb for stock samples vOv 14:14
well, bisect finally finished... 14:15
apparently 93d597f40 broke the r-j build
RabidGravy it's the fluidsynth doing that 14:16
psch "Cannot do aggregate operation on a type object" it says, which seems to point at the nqp::join call in the patch... 14:17
RabidGravy that's "dry" now
psch RabidGravy: well, i've listened with headphones, so what sounds like "a bit heavy" might be perfectly fine for speaker-listening 14:18
RabidGravy all maximum velocity
psch no rim or deadnote sample in the kit? 14:20
i mean, low velocity on the deadnotes can work i guess, but...

awwaiid It gets through the first iteration fine (prints out 9009 and the timing), but on the second iteration it says the seq is used up. which seq?

interesting

awwaiid psch: well a seq is being lazily created, ya? so if I were bailing out of that loop early based on some detection, and then did it again based on another detection, I'd want it to start from the beginning and not fill up all my memory
psch awwaiid: how do you bail out of ($range X $range)? 15:01
Begi Is there a more idiomatic way to write this bit in Perl 6 ?
awwaiid psch: it'd be later in the seq chain, like in the grep 15:02
psch Begi: assuming you want "it's not the empty string and not a type object" you can use prefix:<?> or .Bool
m: my Str $a; my $b = ''; say 42 unless ?$a; say 43 unless $b.Bool 15:03

Begi Yes, RabidGravy, it's what I've done
15:04 yqt joined
psch awwaiid: does that preclude you from using .cache, as the error suggests? 15:05
awwaiid: afaik, .cache doesn't eagerly evaluate the Seq, but just keeps the reified bits around instead of falling off the end
teatime So, I'm wanting to make a compact syntax for XCompose file generation; I was planning to do this with Python, so forgive that I'm about to link to Python syntax, but I'm interested how it might look in Perl and/or Perl6 (since these would likely be both more concise and more sensible for creating this DSL-like thing.) Examples/syntax/functionality (very preliminary) at
gist.github.com/pprince/f2c5879242d3d5ef1929
(also, if you want to make suggestions about the syntax/features itself, *please do*) 15:06
awwaiid psch: I just don't know why you'd ever want (^5 X ^5) inside one iteration of a loop to be the same Seq on a second iteration. If I wanted that I should define it outside the loop 15:07
