kalkin hi 01:52
01:52 dataf3l joined
lucs How can I here avoid the if/else and have the foo() invocation not repeated?: if $some-condition { foo(:$a, :$b, :$c) } else foo(:$a, :$b, :$c, :$d) } 01:52
kalkin I just notice there is no way in zef to install a specific verson of a module, even if the git managed source code is properly tagged 01:53
lucs (got my brackets wrong there, but there it is) 01:54
01:54 djbkd joined
kalkin I would love to somehow match version managment tags to actual module versions, but there is no way besides adding aditional logic to zef 01:54
(or writing a script which checksout the module with proper tag and then cd $DIR && zef install .) 01:55
lucs I'd like something like foo(:$a, :$b, :$c, ｢nothing here if $some-condition, else pass the :$D arg｣)
01:57 beatdown left
kalkin May be the module itself can provide the information about different versions in META6.json? 01:57
but I don't think it's a nice solution 01:58
this would make META6.json administration annoying, but it could also be automated with mi6 release or something 01:59
02:02 dataf3l left
geekosaur thought zef was being updated with version support at some point 02:02
(supposedly prior to it replacing panda) 02:03
02:03 dataf3l joined
kalkin geekosaur: but how should this versioning logic work? 02:05
02:05 dataf3l left
mspo feels like a very possible enhancement 02:05
ugexe: ?
kalkin I would patch it in if I would know how perl6 modules should map different versions to version control tags
02:06 dataf3l joined
mspo `zef install "CSV::Parser:auth<tony-o>:ver<0.1.2>"` 02:06
from github.com/ugexe/zef
kalkin mspo: yes but it currently just checks if such a distribution is known, but it doesn't check CSV:Parser git for version tag x.y.
AFAIK zef just gathers it's data from HEAD of each repository containing a META file 02:07
which is kind of suboptimal
mspo how about this version? `zef install github:tony-o:CSV--Parser:0.1.2`
kalkin also people don't have the habbit of versioning their dependencies 02:08
mspo indeed
kalkin git ls-remote -t git://github.com/tony-o/perl6-csv-parser.git returns nothing 02:09
02:09 dataf3l left
kalkin this means zef has no idea how to fetch any other version besides the one in HEAD/META.json version field 02:10
02:11 dataf3l joined
kalkin i think it would be nice if some QA standarts would be defined for modules.perl6.org, i.e: version your dependencies, tag your versions 02:11

AlexDaniel what about =:= ?
samcv i will fix the =:= right now though
AlexDaniel ok, thank you very much! 02:17
mspo =:= ? I had to check which channel I was in :)
samcv if i work on protosub it's likely that i could break like multi sub
so less than trivial cause. uh how perl6 allows different things. tho i could duplicate it. but don't realy want to do that
mspo =:= and =/= are erlang-ese

Woodi about functional programming: I think in SICP was chapter about implementing algebra with functions. and replacing assigments with functions :) but it still is academic topic. simple becouse CPUs use registers, assigments, etc :) so, if CPUs will have function calls as cheap as operation on register then we can stop using languages with assignments for performance critical applications 07:07

Woodi also, if that quantum computers will start to be more popular we will have our free lunch back ! ;) - industry will stop caring about concurency stuff, functional and lazy languages, etc. all that nice thing possibly will be put back on the shelves or even archived somewhere :) but maybe few things from functional world is already assimilated into industry... 07:12

rashc It hink that, because of the REPl, the filename will have to be '-' for P6 to know it's supposed to read from $*IN 13:15

rashc Reuiring the '-' avoids a conflict where one might want to use the REPL to process data from $*IN. Just being a TTY doesn't mean it's a program and not data. 13:21

ggoebel perl 6 made it onto a list of hottest up and coming programming languages for 2017... opensource.com/article/16/12/yearb...rends-2016 13:24
rashc Oh, now I understood, it has to check if $*In is a TTY to launch the REPL, not the other way around. 13:25
notviki ggoebel: neat 13:26
kinda puts the pressure on tho.... 13:27
How come we use === Inf in the setting in many places? 13:33
Is it for performance or is the goal to not blow up Failures/div-by-zeros? 13:34
ggoebel I suppose. As a regular long time lurker... it makes me uncomfortable with my level of involvement. I need to do a little self-introspection, change some habits, and deal with some time management and organization issues so I lurk less and contribute more.

ugexe kalkin-: zef can install specific versions of modules. your actual problem is the ecosystem is not used in a way that allows versioning 15:09
kalkin-: tbrowder has actually used the ecosystem with versioned distributions
kalkin-: see: github.com/perl6/ecosystem/commit/...93fa1aa4b4 Just note zef is entirely able to handle versions, but its still up to the ecosystem to handle what is visible 15:10
15:11 bwisti joined
raschip CPAN support can't come soon enough. 15:11
ugexe CPAN support already exists 15:12
raschip But have to start sending their modules to PAUSE, then. 15:13
ugexe kalkin-: also zef doesn't just check the HEAD of a repository because it doesn't only handle git repositories. realistically people should not be linking to their git repo as their source-url
15:14 kalkin- left 15:15 cdg joined
raschip It's time to leave this kludge behind. 15:16
ugexe if you use --metacpan (when the p6 version is up - it goes down sometimes) or --cpan (which doesn't have many distributions yet) there is no git involved
raschip Should be the deafult and fallback to git. 15:17
ugexe or if you want to use the current ecosystem you put your .tar.gz links as your source-url and link *each version* of your meta file to the ecosystem META.list (by commit id)
raschip Does version support works when using CPAN?
15:17 finanalyst joined, finanalyst left
ugexe version support works for everything 15:18
notviki raschip: the was (and maybe still is) a script running that automatically pushes new versions in our ecosystem to CPAN
huggable: cpan
huggable notviki, nothing found
ugexe the reason it doesnt default to CPAN is because that would be wasted time for almost all queries since it doesn't have a full listing
raschip i.e. CPAN is still broken for perl6 modules. 15:19
ugexe the main thing with CPAN is working out how to handle the `auth` field
raschip Can't wait for it to get fixed.
ugexe perl6 -Ilib bin/zef --/metacpan --/p6c --cpan search CSV 15:20
===> Found 2 results
1 |Zef::ContentStorage::Ecosystems<cpan>|Text::CSV:ver('0.002'):auth('github:Tux')
2 |Zef::ContentStorage::Ecosystems<cpan>|CSV::Parser:ver('0.1.2'):auth('auth:tony-o')
notviki raschip: what's broken exactly?
raschip it doesn't have a full listing 15:21
ugexe it may never have a full listing
notviki ranguard and mst are leading that effort. May wanna talk to them
ugexe the idea of perl6 recommendation engines is that they should work together
other than that it has to be determined how to map an existing `auth` from a p6 ecosystem module to whatever is copied to CPAN 15:23
because you can't just change the auth from say :auth<me@foo.com> to :auth<me:cpan> as this changes the identity of the module, and the identity is meant to be immutable
and CPAN isn't built for sharing namespaces (which the above is meant to allow) 15:25
raschip This should be fixed.
ugexe i'm sure they will welcome any help :)
raschip The maaping from module name to module should be one to one, not one to many, pulling a random module from there. 15:26
15:26 jantore left
ugexe it IS one to one unless you are fuzzy about what you want 15:26
Foo::Bar is exactly the same as Foo::ver<*>
Foo::Bar:ver<*>
raschip "fuzzy" as in specifing the name of the module?
ugexe Foo::Bar:auth<xyz> is not the same as Foo::Bar:auth<abc> 15:27
but either one would fulfill a request for just "Foo::Bar"
15:27 jantore joined
ugexe if you are explicit you will get the one you explicitly requested 15:27
raschip Should work the same as traditional package managers, tbh. 15:28
ugexe we're solving problems that traditional package managers have ignored
look at the dbix::class namespace drama
raschip You're shifting the burden to the user, I tough it should be the other way around. 15:30
15:30 AlexDaniel joined
ugexe the burden of choosing explicit versions to avoid dependency hell is up to the user, but they are welcome to ignore it like the majority currently do 15:31
15:31 domidumont left
ugexe i.e. everyone does `use Foo::Bar;` but if they were writing production code it should be `use Foo::Bar:ver<...>` (and realistically :auth<whatever>) 15:31
how else are you supposed to do `{ use Foo::Bar:ver<1>; } { use Foo::Bar:ver<2> }`? 15:32
AlexDaniel morning \o/ 15:34
notviki \o
AlexDaniel looks at the clock… 17:34…
ugexe raschip: right now if you install Foo::Bar:ver<1> and then Foo::Bar:ver<2> and then `use Foo::Bar;`, what do you think will happen? 15:35
notviki It'd use :ver<2>
ugexe I think it will use whatever is installed first 15:36
notviki :S
That's awful.
I'd expect it to use latest and greatest. Same as omiting `use v6.whatever` would.
15:37 hankache joined
ugexe well technically it resolves to :ver<*> which is literally "whatever" version 15:37
notviki And it kinda makes sense, considering it's perfectly reasonable run the installer and get a fresher version without ensuring you uninstall everything first.
ugexe so whatever it encounters first
notviki would argue that's a bug
ugexe i brought this up in perl6-toolchain though with the same expectation
notviki forgot we even had a #perl6-toolchain 15:38
ugexe: and what was the outcome when you brought it up
ugexe originally they wanted to leave those decisions up to policy and out of rakudo, but i argued it doesn't make sense that different versions would get used based on the order of CUR used (such as with -Ilib)
let me find the discussion...
hankache hello #perl6
notviki \o 15:39
raschip That is most certainly a bug, it completely breaks user expectations. 15:40
ugexe irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6-toolchain...i_13727142 (also goes into the next day)
and its because when it caches what is loaded it does like %!loaded{$module.short-name} instead of %!loaded{$module.short-name, $module.ver, $module.auth} 15:41
15:42 Axord left
ugexe another point was that the *first* choice should always be in the current distribution if it exists 15:42
15:42 pierre_ joined
ugexe if you already have Foo::Bar installed, and are working on a local copy that does `use Foo::Bar;` it should imply using the copy from the local distribution not from CURI 15:43
raschip ugexe: "the *first* choice should always be in the current distribution if it exists". Why?
ugexe well how else do you know if changes you've made are taking affect? 15:44
raschip If I have a distribution with some version and install a new minor version of the module, I would expect the code to start using that. Anything else is a bug.
15:45 zakharyas joined
raschip It has to use new installed versions to facilitate security updates. 15:45
ugexe im talking about if you have Foo::Bar installed, then decide to `git clone github/foo-bar` and `perl6 -Ilib whatever`
raschip Modules should be forced to do it, in fact.
Use the newest version unless told otherwise. Anything else is a security bug. 15:46
ugexe there are other not-yet-implemented strategies for that (emulates, supercedes, superceded-by, etc) 15:47
raschip Debian forbids more than one version of something to ensure this, in fact.
15:47 pierre_ left
raschip Should follow user expectations. This isn't even about Perl6 programmers, but sysadmins giving support and users. 15:48
If they need to be aware things work differently in Perl6, they aren't going to like it.
ugexe well we certainly *are* supported multiple versions
thats not something that will go away
raschip Sure, supporting multiple versions isn't a problem.
ugexe Consider two installed distributions Foo:ver<1> and Foo:ver<2>, both of which provide Foo::Bar and `use Foo::Bar` inside Foo.pm - if I `use Foo:ver<1>` it would be expected that `use Foo::Bar` inside of Foo.pm (for v1) loads Foo::Bar from the same distribution and not from a possibly newer or older distribution 15:49
raschip But things should use the newest compatible version, otherwise users and sysadmins will have serious problems.
It wouldn't. If a version isn't especified, it should be the newer version. 15:50
RabidGravy it would be
ugexe then it breaks when the newer version isn't compatible with the older
RabidGravy I'm with ugexe here
raschip The behavior you suggest would be completely unexpected.
It has to follow Semver, sure. 15:51
I'm talking about minor upgrades.
RabidGravy I think you aren't getting the idea of "Distribution"
raschip It's like a package from CPAn, isn't it?
ugexe how will users have such expectations when it seems like multiple versions is not a common thing 15:52
raschip Say, there's a Foo:ver<1.1> and a Foo:ver<1.2>, I would expect the second to be loaded if someone asks for Foo::*. 15:53
ugexe thats not what im talking about though
RabidGravy right and it will do that
notviki ugexe: what happens if I have Foo installed and run zef install Foo (given a newer version has been released since previous installation)?
ugexe: I'd end up with two versions of Foo, no?
raschip The user expectation is that just installing Foo:ver<1.2> will solve a problem present on Foo:ver<1.1> 15:54
RabidGravy yes
ugexe notviki: if you explicitly declare the version it will install it (or if you use zef upgrade ...)
notviki And if you say leaving off the :ver<> will give me the first installed, then I'd end up with unupgraded module...
ugexe: and if I don't?
ugexe otherwise if you just do `zef instll Foo::Bar` it will tell you Foo::Bar:ver<*> is already installed
notviki :S
raschip That should upgrade it. 15:55
notviki Seems very uintutive
Especially if you compare with things like `cpanm` and `cpan` that upgrade if there's a new version available.
ugexe right, but its also not very intuitive for the meaning of :ver<*> to switch
hence zef upgrade
raschip Yep, prepare for angry bug reports, there will be a lot of angry sysadmins looking for you. 15:56
ugexe there will always be lots of angry sysadmins looking for you
notviki ugexe: and what syntax to "install latest"?
for ver
