AlexDaniel gfldex: while you probably have your own TODO list, maybe you can take a look at github.com/perl6/doc/issues/38 ? 00:02
gfldex: it is the oldest issue right now, but it does not look very hard
but it is very confusing… 00:03
gfldex: to me it seems like you can add “This is not a real operator” sentence to docs.perl6.org/routine/$LESS-THAN_...ix_%3C_%3E and we can close the issue 00:04
by the way, I am going through older tickets again. Please don't mind my annoying comments 00:08

Clean up alt_nicks
 05:00
holyghost and the other way round as far as I can see 05:07
geekosaur I'd say ML instead of Haskell, since it's the generic parts that all the ML family languages have 05:09
05:14 rgrinberg left
holyghost geekosour, ML ? 05:23
geekosaur, Markup Languages ?
parabolize en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_(programming_language)
geekosaur that, yes 05:24
holyghost ok I understand now
geekosaur although the language family itself is larger and includes Haskell, Curry, Mercury, F#, etc.
holyghost and gofer 05:25
geekosaur and historical pre-Haskell languages Gofer and Miranda
holyghost a functional language
we had to learn about gofer as a functional language at school
geekosaur and Lazy ML although about the only thing it was used for was to write the first version of ghc >.>
holyghost I read the gofer source code once, it's quite ellegant 05:26
where lua is just based on C's var args, gofer has its own system 05:27
It also compiles everywhere
I think I have a tarball around somehwere with my gofer modifications, I could' have lost it though
ML is of the 70ies ... then it is older than haskel (Ediburgh?) 05:28
s/Ediburgh/Edinburgh/ 05:29
ok now I remember, you actually use lambda calculus for functionality
geekosaur yes. ML predates Haskell. I mentioned Lazy ML (essentially a basic ML with laziness) as a precursor already 05:31
holyghost I see 05:32
geekosaur the folks experimenting with laziness and purity were starting to fragment around LML, Gofer, Miranda, etc. and decided to make a common language
holyghost it's some sort of inference engine's rule firing then 05:33
TEttinger and then they couldn't decide on whether it would be Miranda 5 or Miranda 6 so they called it Haskell
geekosaur well, only sort of, since Miranda was closed spec as well as closed source 05:34
TEttinger wow
closed spec, that's a hell of a relic
holyghost Haskel <-> 1985
AFAIK it's haskel vs. scheme at first year in uni 05:35
geekosaur basically it was Research Software Ltd.'s baby, which was part of why they wanted to define a new language with an open spec and open process
holyghost scheme is of 1986
TEttinger hm, are there any major closed-source PLs these days?
parabolize why didn't ML take off? the wiki page shows guards, lets, tail recursion all sorts of good stuff. Did ML have that stuff in the 70s?
TEttinger yep
like lisp, ahead of its time
but a bit nicer syntax for people not used to it, I'd say 05:36
05:36 dj_goku left
TEttinger also like plankalkul, which was just about literally ahead of its time 05:36
masak or maybe everyone else was/is way behind
:) 05:37
hi, #perl6
geekosaur TEttinger, I'd argue Verilog (VHDL is a rather weak open clone) and Matlab (Octave likewise)
TEttinger (around the time of the enigma machine, a professor in (nazi and not nazi) germany made what's very similar to APL with no implementation until 1990s)
holyghost plankakul is probably what the mainframes in the armies of WWII used
TEttinger nope
masak they did not 05:38
TEttinger no implementation at his time
they were still writing in machine code by flipping individual gates
holyghost I could be wrong though, an army man told me they had an assembler in WWII
masak Plankalkül was quite pioneering when it came to abstract data types

masak there's a nice paper about it by Knuth and some others
TEttinger it's shocking that the guy was able to see so far ahead and without any way to prove that his notation was useful 05:39
konrad zuse
holyghost I see
TEttinger it was long before ASCII was a thing :) 05:40
holyghost Ada then ?
TEttinger it used "real math" symbols, cough like a certain other language can, cough :)
(plankalkul)
holyghost I meant the lady "*Ada*"
TEttinger oh yes 05:41
holyghost It's somewhat of a saga :-)
TEttinger Countess Ada of Lovelace
holyghost she programmed machine code I though
s/though/thought/
masak holyghost: from what I've seen, Ada Lovelace didn't so much use a programming language, as describe algorithms in words and math operations
TEttinger I think her machine was analog, not electronic at all of course
holyghost sure
TEttinger yeah, founded programming I suppose 05:42
though you can argue it goes back much further
masak arguably
holyghost machine code in the sense that she used numbers (ALU)
masak algorithms go back to Al'Kwarismi at least ;)
TEttinger before or after al-jabr? 05:43
"that algebra guy"
holyghost Arabians also invented the cypher '0'
ASCII is based on it in 8x8 rows
TEttinger and you can look at an algorithm as a recipe and suddenly everyone has invented recipes
right, ciphers are definitely a sort of algorithm 05:44
was it da vinci who had lots of ciphered journals?
holyghost Later on the school of Athens did "number theory"
TEttinger (I suppose lots of people back then were concerned about theft of their ideas) 05:45
geekosaur note that she also "wrote programs for" a machine that did not exist. (iirc when someone finally did build a difference engine, they tried her programs... and found *one* bug.)
TEttinger nice.
was that babbage's engine?
geekosaur yes
TEttinger (I guess named after the person who constructed one, or after the person who devised the plans?)
05:46 AlexDaniel left
holyghost that's mentioned in the dictionary 05:46
babbage's engine
geekosaur it was ... well beyond the technology of the time. and by the time the tech had caught up, people were doing things in other ways, so an actual difference engine was only built within the past decade
TEttinger oh wow
parabolize Lovelace's first program: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/com...umbers.jpg
TEttinger I wonder what kind of bug it was
MasterDuke wasn't the difference engine built longer ago? but the analytic engine was only built recently? 05:47
geekosaur Charles Babbage built some simpler "computing engines", but only planned out the difference engine; metalworking was not up to actually building it
TEttinger looms were also programmable in the 1800s, with common implementations and actual standards... kinda amazing 05:49
05:49 jack_rabbit joined
holyghost TEttinger, what's a loom ? 05:49
TEttinger (they still needed orphans to risk getting their arms chopped off for them to function, but I guess not much has changed, cough shenzhen) 05:50
holyghost: weaves fabric in automated patterns
holyghost right as a carpet
TEttinger like for mass-manufacturing rugs
yeah
05:50 AlexDaniel joined
TEttinger they needed to be able to reproduce some rather complex motions and used an early punch card system 05:51
geekosaur yeh, the original Jacquard loom is still considered one of the earliest programmable machines
holyghost I cannot find the link tp babbage engine in the dictionary anymore, must be an older version (I cannot parse every TNHD tarball ;-) 05:52
TEttinger en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Marie...quard_loom
holyghost node scripture ? 05:53
I mean, there's this writing where you use knots in a piece of rope 05:54
(It's not in freeciv though :-)

gfldex Perl 6 is mean to make the programmer faster, not the computer. 09:03

DrForr Hey, I play quite a bit... Oh, the language :)
hahainternet it's actually fine as a language, it's extremely enjoyable and very pragmatic 09:38
but people hate the people behind it, and the fact it's so simple
it's certainly not a language to end all language development, but in its niche it is superb
09:38 dj_goku left
konobi and there was a recent fairly high profile article on how golang totally broke a running system because the authors make way way way too much assumption about what is "safe" 09:38

profan that tends to come with the memory safety 09:39
hahainternet konobi: could you link me to that article please?
profan: threading and syncing too, also nice things like unicode strings
konobi masak: i'm playing with terralang for the same sort of stuff
hahainternet terra's very cool but a very very different language
it targets the lowest level features it can, Go is much higher level

konobi you can do cps in perl though
hahainternet profan: do you mean the ability to share memory without intending to?
profan hahainternet: i mean, you still have race conditions and all that fun even with the channels
hahainternet oh absolutely you ca
it in no way is fully safe in almost any regard, i see it as a valuable companion to Perl
making a language that embodies all of these safety principles results in so many compromises in other areas you lose the simplicity that makes things enjoyable 09:43
i think that's one of the greatest achievements of Perl 6 to me 09:44
it has a simple appearance, and can be used in a simple way, but that simplicity is obtained by extremely thorough design, rather than naivete (sp)

konobi pmurias: how's the JS backend working? 10:15
pmurias konobi: it compiles rakudo to JavaScript and a few % of the setting. I'm working on making nqp-js emit faster code as the rakudo compiled to js is too slow and compiling the setting would take ages 10:17
konobi pmurias: (terralang.org/api.html#the-language...lexer-api)
pmurias: habe you looked at using node-inspector to do the JS profiling?
it covers not just timing info, but you can use heap snapshotting too... and it'll take you down to the line of code that individual objects were defined at (using diffs to narrow it down) 10:18
pmurias konobi: I have used devtool to profile things but it has problems with native extensions 10:19
konobi pmurias: node-agent-devtools? 10:20
pmurias konobi: just the devtool package from npm 10:21

gfldex timotimo: that means, if you upload jpegs to dropbox, make sure you have the legal right to change them. If you don't you better encrypt them. 10:37
timotimo go ahead and try it? :) 10:38
gfldex: did you see it's actually lossless?
gfldex timotimo: lossless, after decoding. If you compare the files, they are diffrent. There are plenty of agreements between companies that make that illegal. 10:39
timotimo wait, really? 10:40
gfldex if the file get's 20% smaller, they must differ
timotimo no. 10:41
if you zip a text file, it "gets smaller", but when you unzip it again, it's the same content again
gfldex as I understood the article they reencode the jpegs
timotimo no, they do not 10:42
gfldex sorry, i'm misstaken then
timotimo "Lepton achieves a 22% savings reduction for existing JPEG images, by predicting coefficients in JPEG blocks and feeding those predictions as context into an arithmetic coder. Lepton preserves the original file bit-for-bit perfectly."
that's all you need to know
also this paragraph makes clear you don't get the lepton'd file, you get the original file 10:43
"Lepton can decompress significantly faster than line-speed for typical consumer and business connections. Lepton is a fully streamable format, meaning the decompression can be applied to any file as that file is being transferred over the network. Hence, streaming overlaps the computational work of the decompression with the file transfer itself, hiding latency from the user."
gfldex github.com/dropbox/lepton actually makes it clear with a lot less words :) 10:44

pmurias konobi: re running on top of terra if you want to port Perl 6 to some VM, what you likely want to do is not to implement nqp the language on it but add QAST (which is Perl6/nqp already parsed into a tree) backend 12:26

melezhik hi Perl6 gurus! Does anybody know how to comment a _whole block_ of perl6 code, not commenting by `#' every single line? 12:51
psch melezhik: we have #`[ ] as block comment form 12:52
melezhik: note that the amount of brackets is up to you, as long as it's matching
moritz also pod

Frameless timotimo: curious, is hack.p6c.org/~timo/coverage/ being updated on regular intervals? 13:00
And related question: how can I run that stuff locally?
melezhik: it's worth noting most editors support keyboard shortcuts to comment out selected text. Like CTRL+D 13:01
timotimo it is not
the process is a bit involved
13:02 hmmm left
timotimo so, you start by having the "line_based_coverage_3" (or some number) branch of moarvm checked out and built 13:02
Frameless Alright. I may be interested in increasing coverage in about a month
timotimo that'll give you access to a new environment variable
i think it's MVM_COVERAGE_LOG or something
set it to a filename that includes a %d somewhere for the PID
and then run the test suite. multi-thread is allowed because of the PID thing 13:03
Frameless Sounds simple enough :) Thanks.
timotimo it's not all yet :) 13:04
Frameless heh
timotimo the crapton of files you end up with would ideally go through sort, uniq, and grep for CORE.setting before you feed it to the tool
the next step is the dumped moarvm file. you get that from moar --dump CORE.setting.moarvm
and all that feeds together into moarvm's tools/parse_coverage_report.p6 13:05
melezhik huh, #`[ ... ] even better then pod :) 13:06
thanks to all for advices!
perlpilot melezhik: serves a different purpose than pod
melezhik yeah, I know
13:06 rgrinberg left 13:07 rgrinberg joined
timotimo what i like about pod is that my editor will highlight pod markup in pod comments :) 13:12
13:12 zakharyas joined
perlpilot is slightly surprised the #`/ ... / comment above didn't complain about the delimiter 13:16
timotimo well, it would have to parse all comments starting immediately with a ` as "failed attempt at block comment"
perlpilot That seems preferable to silently treating everything to end of line as a comment. 13:17
If someone has #` in their code, they were most likely trying to do an embedded comment. 13:18

[Coke] is it intentional that the TOC is colored when shown above the content, but black when to the left? (docs) 13:57
13:57 Praise- is now known as Praise
gfldex [Coke]: it is intentional 13:57
[Coke] what's the purpose? 13:58
gfldex the internet seams to agree that ToC like navigation elements on the left side of the screen do not require blue links 13:59
i tried the same for the ToC on top and it look very out of place

gfldex [Coke]: if you look at developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W.../undefined you will see that the site is split into two parts. The allways-there-alway-navigation-part and a main body. In the main body clickable elements are marked with blue. Likely because the clickyness is the exception, while in the left part it is not.

[Coke] I think "TOC" overrides "position on screen". links embedded in paragraphs are different than a TOC, sure 14:05

lucs If in Perl 5 I would do ｢$foobar = Foo::Bar->new or die "$@"｣, in Perl 6, given ｢use Inline::Perl5; use Foo::Bar:from<Perl5>; my $foobar = Foo::Bar.new｣, how do I get P5's ｢$@｣? 14:45
14:47 pmurias left
gfldex if Foo::Bar.new returns a Failure it would be in $foobar and you could .Str that. 14:47
14:47 rgrinberg left
geekosaur ideally you got a Failure back from Foo::Bar.new and can extract it. otherwise you'd have to trap the exception it threw 14:48
hoelzro how could Foo::Bar return a Failure if it's from Perl 5 land?
Frameless lucs: FWIW, you don't need explicit use Inline::Perl5
lucs (trying...)
geekosaur $@ for that was considered a hack, but equivalent to the latter (if p5's eval caught an exception, it stuffed it in $@)
lucs Frameless: Oh, just the ｢⋯:from<Perl5>｣ is enough? 14:49
