yoleaux I saw FROGGS 19 Jun 2016 19:29Z in #perl6: <FROGGS> arnsholt: awesome :D
Xliff Ohhh... 02:59
You want ^add_method on the type object and not the instance.
sortiz raiph, When you call an undefined method, the FALLBACK is called, in it add_method is called on _the_ class and the class recomposed, so the next call for the same method simply succeeds
Xliff Nifty 03:00
sortiz Yep, ^add_method should be called on the type, not one instance.
raiph ah, the recomposed class doesn't affect the attributes of the object that's already been instantiated. got it. thanks. 03:01
and the error message is spot on

03:13 raiph left, raiph joined
sortiz raiph, OTOH, FALLBACK can only execute the required code, not necessarily create a new method "on demand" 03:15
lizmat PSA: I just realised that I'm really too tired to do the Perl 6 Weekly atm 03:16
raiph which is what stevieb9 wanted (create new methods on demand)
lizmat PSA: so I'm going to have a go at it tomorrow morning, in about 10 hours from now
sortiz raiph, Yep I understand that, but in stevieb9's case I think that create them in a BEGIN block is a better idea. 03:19
raiph sortiz: Right. So don't use FALLBACK to do that sort of thing unless you're using prototype OO, not class based? 03:22
03:27 aindilis joined

buharin I am not very good to understand the difference between is raw and is rw 05:12
both can modify parameter
like throw the reference
05:14 sno left
raiph buharin: aiui raw means if it's a container (variable), it stays a container, if not (ie it's a regular value), it stays not; rw means if it's a value, stick it in a container (variable) 05:22
buharin so raw is mostly used for specify container parameter 05:23

raiph Give me a few minutes. (I'm still trying to recover from watching damian's mesmerizing (understatement) "Perl 6 for beginners".) 05:26
buharin in my compiler I got Parameter '$a' expected a writable container, but got Int value 05:28
for foo(2, $)
raiph that would come from passing an arg that is not a container for a parameter that requires a container (i.e. a parameter that is rw) 05:31

05:37 sortiz left
buharin raiph, thats okay 05:37
I am just trying to figure the use case of raw and rw 05:38
raiph buharin: do you think you understand the use case for is rw?
(rw means read/write)
buharin yeah if I pass a variable to routine it is read by default 05:39
05:39 bbkr joined
raiph correct 05:39
buharin because routine can modify it
outside
so overtime if I want to do something like func(int& a) ;D I use rw
but raw is kind of magic
raiph forget raw for a moment; let's make sure we agree on is rw 05:43
buharin: I'm a bit confused by "because routine can modify it ... outside" 05:44
buharin raiph, I mean rw is pass by reference 05:46
05:51 woolfy left

I need export it
what's a difference between my class and class? 06:25

buharin nine, doc.perl6.org/language/modules 06:26
# Packages like classes can be exported too
class MyClass is export {};
sammers thanks, raiph, I will check it out
raiph goodnight #perl6
buharin and he export it ;d
raiph, goodnight
nine buharin: I think that's for cases like: unit class Foo; class Bar is export { }; 06:27
llfourn you can also do my class Bar is export {} 06:28
so you only get it if you 'use' rather than need

buharin so class by default is Module scoped? 06:43
06:50 dwarring left 06:51 redhands98100 joined 06:58 ssotka left
llfourn buharin: yeah. But if your not inside a module it goes into GLBOAL. We call this "our" scoped. 06:59
when a module is loaded via "need" or "use" the loading module will merge all the GLOBAL symbols from the loaded module into it's own GLOBAL. 07:00
if you don't want it to be merged from global you can use "my"
and then you can use "is export" so that the symbols are merged when importing symbols with "use" 07:01
importing symbols and merging from GLOBAL are two seperate things

John[Lisbeth] I'm just curious about perl but the choice of which one to start with vexes me 07:12
stmuk what do you want to do with the lang? 07:13
moritz John[Lisbeth]: if you want to tinker with an interesting language, and build small tools for personal use, learn Perl 6. If you want to go to as quickly as possible to production and/or making money, learn Perl 5 07:14

iH2O heres a pile of 10000 documents to insert and bucket sort..
moritz typically folks would sort by first letter first 11:22
then sort each bucket
and then join
sorting each bucket is likely an insertion sort kinda thing 11:23
tadzik humans typically optimize for numbers of move operations rather than number of comparisons, I figure
because we can compare in bulks, like when sorting cards
iH2O if i had to sort 10000 documents, id make a 1st pass in which id insert each document in the pack at a position depending on its 1st letter 11:24
moritz there's an implicit binary search in the pre-sorted list going on
iH2O then indeed id use bucket sort
moritz iH2O: if I had enough space, I'd have a separate pile for each first letter
instead of inserting it in one big pile in the right place 11:25
iH2O yeah, but the letter q has about 50 times less entry than the letter l 11:26
the packs have different lenghts
*fewer entries
make 16 pcks instead of 26 packs 11:27
moritz depends on what your sort
iH2O so you have 4 x 4 packs in front of you, of approximately the length, with the 1st letters n and q together, the letters i j k together, etc 11:32
its handy t sort with your hands
26 packs in front of you is not handy to sort

iH2O given that the universe is seemlingly expanding forever(even accelerating), it has a potentially infinite tape. so a self-replicating computer running perl6 is indeed as powerful as a TM with an *infinite* tape 12:00
brrt energy 12:01
iH2O matter?
brrt but it's a nice idea :-)
moritz iH2O: there might be infinite *space* in the universe, but the tape needs material/energy
and that's still limited
iH2O :(
moritz and, in fact, ever more limited the more the universe expands 12:02
iH2O its all swallowed by black holes indeed
moritz because when the Universe expands faster, things that move away from you faster than the speed of light are outside of your event horizon
not all of it :-)
iH2O that may apply only to things that are on the *other side of the Big Bang" 12:03
brrt if the pace of it is acclerating, then eventually, all of it........ hey waitaminute
iH2O which is 1/2 the stuff in the universe
brrt how can things be moving away faster than the speed of light
iH2O *1/2* is a fixed value,, so that doesnt affect my argument
moritz iH2O: I recommend www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDF-N3A60DE (and indeed the whole "crash course astronomy" series on youtube)
iH2O I watched a crash course on politics recently, isnt that good enough? 12:04
:)
moritz iH2O: more, more, more, you always need more!
brrt moritz: i'm not sure the universe is moving beyond our event horizon; isn't it more like fading into background radiation 12:05
(because of the redshift) 12:06
iH2O physics' vacuum is apparently able to create energy out of nothing, and energy= matter (E=mc2)
theres the solution to all our energy needs 12:07
better than perpetual motion

masak one of my disfavorite things in Perl 6: can't smartmatch inside an action method which has $/ as a parameter 12:16
brrt uhm.. why not? because $/ can't be assigned to? 12:17
12:17 iH2O left
masak right, because it's read-only 12:18
because it's a parameter
jnthn Then call the parameter something else
brrt oot
and we can't shadow it?
(regrets that comment already)
masak jnthn: yes, that's probably the workaround
jnthn Calling it $/ is only a common convention 'cus you get to write $<foo> instead of $m<foo> 12:19
masak nodnod
jnthn I'm kinda glad that it doesn't just silently let you "get away with it" tbh, 'cus it's way too easy to be confused.

jnthn Also, why are you doing multi-pass parsing? ;P 12:20

that'll silently let you get away with it and break everything

nine BrokenRobot: a beefed up tools/install-dist.pl that only does the installation part but not the whole dependency tracking/downloading part. 12:28
BrokenRobot nine: why? An awesome module installer should be one of the top features of R*. Otherwise, one may as well compile from sauce 12:30
tadzik andreoss: oh, I may have missed it, let me take a look
BrokenRobot I'd go with zef install of panda though. Although, I've not used panda for some time now.
nine BrokenRobot: note that I said "use" not "ship".
BrokenRobot Ah, ok. 12:31
nine BrokenRobot: of course it should come with an installer
timotimo that would include Build.pm?
12:31 _mg_ joined
BrokenRobot *zef instead of 12:31
nine timotimo: Build.pm is what's missing from install-dist.pl. I do hope that I can start working with ugexe and probably others who are interested on a declarative replacement rather soon. 12:32
tadzik andreoss: hmm, I'm a bit reluctant about it; it's adding another dependency to panda (which would need to be added to git submodules too), and is only used in the rare circumstance where the existing solution fails (I've never actually seen it happen). We increase the runtime code size and complexity for a very unlikely scenario 12:33
nine Oh my it's the time of the year again when I should really start organizing my YAPC trip 12:34
tadzik regarding the discussion, shipping zef instead of panda with R* may be a good idea, with zef being much more actively maintained

nebg hello everyone... does perl6 has a cpan ? or can i use cpan modules of perl for perl6 ? 13:52
moritz nebg: it has modules.perl6.org/, and two alternative module installers (zef and panda) 13:53
nebg: and you can use Perl 5 modules from CPAN through Inline::Perl5
nebg moritz, ohh ok so we still have the advantage of perl5 of having a massive number of modules right ?
moritz nebg: right 13:54
nebg: and also python modules through Inline::Python
nebg moritz ?! really ???what ??
and we can use from python perl modules ?
moritz, do i need a JVM to run perl6 ? 13:55
BrokenRobot nebg: and C libraries :)
moritz nebg: no, use MoarVM (which the rakudo installer will build for you)
nebg BrokenRobot, what about perl5 or python ? for example can i load python modules from perl5 or can i load perl5 and perl6 modules from python ?
BrokenRobot nebg: no. It can run on JVM, but that's a bit broken ATM. MoarVM is the best thing right now
nebg BrokenRobot, why perl5 didn't need an virtual machine ? 13:56
BrokenRobot nebg: I don't know about from Perl 5. But from Perl 6 you can use most of Perl 5 and Python modules
AlexDaniel is Altai-man here?
moritz nebg: for example doc.perl6.org/ has syntax hilighting which is done by python's pygmentize module, but the build script for all the HTML is perl 6
BrokenRobot nebg: it does. You just never heard of it :)
nebg BrokenRobot, which is the virtual machine of perl5 then ? 13:57
ilmari nebg: the perl5 vm
moritz github.com/perl6/doc/blob/master/h...#L875-L888 is the code that does it
ilmari it's built-in and inseparable
which is why you haven't heard of it
BrokenRobot :)
nebg BrokenRobot, soany interpreted language has its own virtual machine ?
BrokenRobot nebg: no idea 13:58
geekosaur in some sense, almost yes (things like shells often interpret from source instead of an AST or precompiled bytecode) 13:59
grondilu is surprised by how many people have an Apple laptop at YAPC::NA 14:00
moritz grondilu: many developers seem to be on Mac, regardless of their language 14:01
geekosaur if you're running from an AST or bytecode, then you have a virtual machine running it. not necessarily a complete virtual machine like JVM/CLR/moar, though (ghc's bytecode and perl 5 being examples of incomplete virtual machines)
moritz a very simple question you can ask is: How is memory managed? 14:02
If it's done implicitly (by refcounting or GC), then you have at least some form of a limited VM underneath
mspo perl5 wasn't "interpreted" 14:04
it was compiled on the fly
timotimo shared pointers in Cpp are not implicit to you, right?
makes sense, though 14:05
nebg mspo, so which is at this point the difference between compiled and interpreted languages ? since it seems that even interpreted languages are compiled for a virtual machine or on the fly 14:06
how is perl6 in terms of performance with respect to java/perl5/python ?
14:06 domidumont left
BrokenRobot nebg: it sucks 14:07

nebg: in the sense that you are thinking about

nebg BrokenRobot, so bad performances ? 14:08
BrokenRobot nebg: it just got release last Christmas and now the work is being done to improve performance. We're doing well. Here are performance fixes for last release of the compiler: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/...ngeLog#L18
AlexDaniel nebg: well, these graphs may tell you something tux.nl/Talks/CSV6/speed4.html 14:09
mspo nebg: the main difference is probably the amount of native code generated by compilation and the scope of the virtual machine
BrokenRobot nebg: it also depends on what you're doing. bare perl -e '' is a completely different beast than bare perl6 -e '' since in Perl 6 you get something akin to Moose + List module + all tons of other stuff
AlexDaniel nebg: in other words, it is improving really fast, but we're not very fast yet

AlexDaniel mst: is it some kind of new feature or?
BrokenRobot use Quote::Code;
say qc"2 + 2 = {2 + 2}";
mst AlexDaniel: no, that's baseline perl5
BrokenRobot AlexDaniel: no, it just uses a scalar ref instead of your arrayref

AlexDaniel okay

CIAvash lizmat: maybe the football link should be changed to my blog post? I didn't mention it because I thought it wasn't interesting enough to be mentioned in the weekly, since it wasn't about Perl 6 itself. blog.ciavash.name/2016/05/12/new-p...tball.html
BrokenRobot Oh, unless you're talking about interpolation and not the stuff in the blog :P
CIAvash also lizmat++
mst geekosaur: "p5 can do it, p6 provides special syntax to make it prettier"
(not that that isn't a good thing, mind)
geekosaur well, I count not having to deal with the whole list vs scalar context mess as part of the sanity, even though it's not specifically part of the syntax 15:37
lizmat CIAvash: link updated, thanks!
geekosaur hm, nnot phrased right, since it is p[art of the p5 syntax..
mst actually, it isn't part of the p5 syntax 15:38
there's no context involved there at all
geekosaur something the programmer shouldn't have to worry about but is forced to by perl5
mst but, yes, 'perl6 makes most of the things that are hateful about scalar/list context and etc. go away' is definitely a true thing
just that's a completely seperate reason perl6 is awesome, to my mind

yanmc two things hard to search for, 1) is \~ an operator (what does it do)? 17:32
2) what is := exactly (something with forcing list context? but that's a perl 5 thing?) 17:33
mspo Xliff: yeah just thought of it because I saw gtk
Xliff: but nuklear is much much smaller :)
psch yanmc: for your 2): doc.perl6.org/routine/:=
yanmc: your 1) probably means [\~] instead of \~, which would be triangle reduce stringification 17:34
yanmc: if it's not that and you found it in the docs somewhere, please link that

mspo Xliff: a really really small gui lib + a really cool language like perl6 + some kind of static compilation could make some cool stuff 17:35
psch mspo: static compilation? 17:37
i'd guess that might mean "linking" instead?
mspo yes
psch that lib does look pretty great at a glance, yeah 17:38
mspo I guess you'd still need something like sdl to open an actual window 17:40
psch yeah, looks like each example depends on a specific way of getting a window 17:43
still, interesting project
and it does seem to fit pretty well into the unix philosophy, afaict

geekosaur yanmc, := is binding as opposed to assignment. if you think of a variable as a Scalar (or Array, etc.) container with a value inside it, = replaces the value inside the container and := replaces the container itself 17:46
yanmc so := binds, is that the same thing that happens when doing my $scalar = @list 17:47
geekosaur: thanks, was just typing the above ^
geekosaur you're not replacing the container there, you're setting the value to what perl 5 would call an arrayref. (but perl 6 implicitly creates and dereferences these references for you) 17:49
Xliff Wow! Busy week for Perl6. lizmat++ 17:50
I guess I should rakudobrew.
geekosaur the difference here is that = gives you a reference to a new array stored within $scalar's container, so changes to the values will not affect @list. if you use :=, you will actually be modifying @list itself by making changes via $scalar because the container for $scalar is now the same as the container for @list 17:51

yanmc geekosaur: are you sure about that, because if I remember correctly in my testing I saw the latter behaviour with `=' 17:54
geekosaur there's a way to see the actual container instead of its contents as you normally would. understanding that there's this double level of containers with values inside of them is key to understanding := vs. = 17:55
dha Eek. I've got a test failing in rakudo
FWIW, it's t/04-nativecall/13-union.t Are we aware of this? (OS X 10.10.5) 17:56
timotimo 32bit, perchance?
geekosaur not absolutely certain, see above. I think I forgott o account fpr @list being a container with an array reference within it too, and it's that that is assigned

psch ^^^ as demonstrated there
lizmat dha: it appears to be a flapper 18:04
geekosaur yanmc, anyway the difference is subtle (more subtle than I am currently, it seems... sigh) but can be crucial. it's not a matter of context though, it's a matter of what kind of container you have bound. $variables have a Scalar container by default; you can't change this with = (although you can store a reference to an Array container in it) but you can change the type of container with :=
lizmat dha: I think *you* can safely ignore it :-)

iH2O dha, be careful with sunburns today 21 June 18:52
dha Will do!
iH2O question: what color is the sun? is it (a) yellow, (b) red, (c) white? 18:53
BrokenRobot c
iH2O right
dha That would depend on what you mean by "what color is the sun"
iH2O when seen in space
BrokenRobot Easy to tell by the color of the snow :P 18:54
dha disclaimer: have a degree in philosophy and science, so I deal with questions like this differently than most people
TimToady especially if the snow is yellow

Xliff iH2O, yet we still classify suns by "type" which includes a "color". 18:58
iH2O its for convenience only 18:59
not too scientific
Xliff :)

Xliff Well, scientists use it which makes it confusing. 18:59
iH2O Raylegh's diffusion is all we need 19:00
geekosaur there's also the difference betrween what you see from many light years away vs. what you'd see in that system where it's bright enough that no matter what, all visible frequencies are saturated => it's going tobe white regardless
Xliff I've heard Sol described as both a "yellow dwarf" and a "red dwarf"
iH2O yellow dwarf??? 1st time i hear about that 19:01
are you sure youve not invented that? hmm
19:01 dha left
geekosaur yeh, jury's still open on what it looks like from a sufficient distance. guesses range from orange-yellow to greenish 19:01

19:01 lizmat joined
Xliff geekosaur, and let's not forget the shift in frequencies due to universal expansion. 19:02
19:02 dha joined
geekosaur but you need to be *very* far away for that to be significant... you won't notice much if you're looking at it from Andromeda 19:03
Xliff iH2O, so is "Reyleigh scattering" == "Rayleigh's diffusion"?
geekosaur++ -- good point.
iH2O im not sure if its scattering or diffusion. ive not had a physics course in quite a time 19:04
Xliff kk
19:04 cdg left
geekosaur "Rayleigh scattering" is the usual term in US science parlance 19:08
moritz that's how I know it too

timotimo would someone explain what &subname's effect can be in perl5? like, what causes it to explode in users' faces? 21:49
rjbs I can probably help, if you give a bit more detail on what you're asking. 21:53
timotimo: ^
dha eh, what do you know about Perl 5?
geekosaur basically, referring to a sub with &subname overrides all prototypes and sanity checking
ilmari and &subname; (without the parens) calls it with the current value of @_
geekosaur yes, that also 21:54
rjbs Yup, those things.
timotimo i know basically nothing about perl5 :)
geekosaur and with a truncated call frame iirc, although that's not generally relevant

AlexDaniel … so how can I speed up the doc build? 22:03
konobi ssd! 22:05
timotimo AlexDaniel: you can either turn off syntax highlighting entirely, or install Inline::Python and make sure pygments is available and in the right version 22:06
awwaiid Inline::Python needs an update 22:09
AFAIK Inline::Perl5 is the best and Inline::Ruby is second-best for feature set
though I guess that's a bit more tangental than I realized the conversation warranted 22:10

tbrowder Zoffix (and interested parties): ref docs, what do you think about adding a page (under Programs) for p6 best practices which would be suggested and discussed amongst experienced devs such as yourself, moritz, masak, pmichaud, jnthn, damian, etc.? 22:29
pmichaud tbrowder: I like the idea. 22:31

pmichaud A 22:31
AlexDaniel tbrowder: by the way, there's also doc.perl6.org/language/traps 22:33
timotimo github.com/moritz/perl6-wtop - this was a start ... long ago :) 22:34
pmichaud If masak++ and moritz++ thought something like this was a good idea 6 years ago, I suspect it's an even better (and long overdue) idea now. :) 22:38
22:39 kid51 joined
timotimo well, it hasn't seen much addition yet :) 22:39
it's over-ripe for contributions 22:40
AlexDaniel well, this document reads very similarly to traps to avoid
pmichaud One of Perl 6's guiding principles has been that while TMTOWTDI, we also want to have a language that guides people into naturally doing the best thing. It'd be good if we at least document what some of those "best things" are. 22:46
or what we think some of those "best things" are. :)
