lookatme What's that ? 00:49
Juerd Altreus: Do you mean .elems?
AlexDaniel probably not
Altreus oh, I was referring to my earlier query about exemel
AlexDaniel github.com/supernovus/exemel#elements
Altreus turns out it has a fairly useful search tool, but I had to read the examples to find it because I tuned out while reading the actual docs 00:50

shit
Type check failed in assignment to $!a; expected <anon> # <- her 06:00

"10".WHAT
m: "10".WHAT
camelia ( no output )
teatime m: say "10".WHAT
camelia (Str)
lookatme I would rather using `a => 10` or `:a(10)` 06:04
teatime feel free :)
lookatme Yeah, I can do a choice, that's why I love Perl6 06:05
lookatme m: say {}.WHAT; say { 5 }.WHAT; 06:08

lookatme And I don't like those not consistent ^^^ 06:09
ZzZombo How can I in my custom `clone` method override an array attribute's value/forbid copying its value to the clone? 06:36
It's a private attribute, so I can't modify it outside the object. 06:37
lookatme m: class C { has @.a; method clone(*%_) { %_<a> = %_<a> // @!a.clone; nextwith(|%_); }; }; my C $c .= new(a => Q :w {1 2 3 4}); my $d = $c.clone(); $d.a.push(8); say $c; say $d; 06:49
camelia C.new(a => ["1", "2", "3", "4"])
C.new(a => ["1", "2", "3", "4", 8])
lookatme Do you mean this ?
wander how can I remove a given element from an Array? 07:54
my @a = [1,2,3]; @a.remove(2)
m: my @a = [1,2,3]; @a.remove(2)
camelia No such method 'remove' for invocant of type 'Array'
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
geekosaur to make it go away completely, you have to use splice 08:01
jast m: my @a = [1,2,3]; @a.splice(1,1); say @a 08:03
camelia [1 3]
geekosaur m: my @a = [1,2,3]; @a.splice(1, 1); say @a
camelia [1 3]
geekosaur yeh
and this is different:
m: my @a = [1,2,3]; @a[1]:delete; say @a
camelia [1 (Any) 3]
lookatme m: my @a = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; say @a.splice(2, 3); say @a;
camelia [3 4 5]
[1 2]
lookatme m: my @a := 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; say @a.splice(2, 3); say @a; 08:04
camelia Cannot resolve caller splice(List, Int, Int); Routine does not have any candidates. Is only the proto defined?

m: say [1].WHAT 08:28

lookatme Oh, I confused () and [] :( 08:29

lookatme And I think [ %hsh ] is a bug 08:30
m: my %hsh = (a => 1, b => 2); say [ %hsh ][0];
camelia a => 1
wander yes, :delete is what i want 08:34
thank you
piojo1 lookatme: it seems like a perl-5-ism 08:41
it's an automatic flattening
piojo1 I don't like it, but I'm not sure it's a bug 08:42
moritz m: my %hsh = (a => 1, b => 2); say [ %hsh, ][0];
camelia {a => 1, b => 2}
moritz it's an application of the one-argument rule

s0me0ne-unkn0wn Xliff: The problem is libeay32.dll is installed on Win along with OpenSSL module itself and filepaths are mangled, we don't know where the library resides at runtime, so OpenSSL::NativeLib::gen-lib is needed to find the lib 10:40
And now this behavior should be copy-pasted for another lib

DrForr Pod::To::HTML seems to call a chain of subroutines rather than instantiating an object - Is that just the author's choice, or was it by design? 14:14
I'm giving in and writing Pod::To::BlogspotHTML, and I thought I'd put an object in there that people can subclass if they don't like my HTML formatting. 14:16
I can bless the object easily enough, but I was wondering if there were any ecosystem reasons why the design decision was made. 14:17
Oh, wait. I probably can't easily get the package inside the sub, at least not in a way that'd let people override it. 14:21

chsanch Hi, I've just compiled Rakudo on Windows 10, but I don't know if I have to do something else besides execute: 'chcp 65001' to handle utf8 characteres in cmd.exe or powershell, this what I'm getting if I use an "ñ" inside a string variable: ibb.co/e24nV6 16:50

[Coke] huh 16:56

ugexe if i try to use that in the repl i get '> Decoder may not be used concurrently' on repeat 17:01
chsanch perl6 .test.p6 17:03
utf8:0x<65 c3 b1 65>
it seems it works if I execute it in a script
ugexe what if you do perl6 -e "my $s = 'eñe'; $s.encode('utf8').say" 17:05
chsanch C:\>perl6 -e "my $s = 'eñe'; $s.encode('utf8').say" 17:09

chsanch but, in powershell I'm getting an error: gist.github.com/anonymous/df47676a...f146857199 17:11
jnthn Powershell is probably interpreting the $ as a shell variable 17:11
Zoffix chsanch: the REPL problem was recently mentioned on a ticket. It's bustitude in prompt (which the REPL uses): rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.htm...xn-1508132 17:12
chsanch Oh ok, I see 17:13
I need to go now, I'll check this later. Thanks!!!
Zoffix looks to be a problem in moarvm. perl6 -e "say $*IN.read-internal(1000)" gives an empty buf (Buf[uint8]:0x<>) if the input got fancypants chars 17:17
jnthn wat, the bytes even come out wrong? 17:20
Zoffix yea
jnthn We...just call read: github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/blob/mast...ile.c#L144 17:21
Zoffix _read msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wyssk1bs.aspx 17:22
It's redefined by a macro
jnthn Right, to _read
Zoffix tries with a file
jnthn We're putting the thing in binary mode too: github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/blob/mast...ile.c#L496 17:23
Zoffix Works with a file. My guess it's the not-a-proper-filehandle thing so it returns 0 bytes read.
jnthn So shouldn't be any weirdness from text mode
But only for certain input? 17:24
Zoffix Oh right... Weird :)
lizmat clickbaits p6weekly.wordpress.com/2017/11/20/...ia-videos/ 17:25
jnthn Very weird. But I already have one workaround for _read doing weird things with a console
(If you ask for more than 16KB it dies)
So it wouldn't surprise me in the least if there's yet more weird, though at least that case gave an error, not an empty buffer... 17:26

perlpilot That question on SO about hashes having an update method ... sounds like that's something Perl 6 could borrow. 17:31

The answers that are there are all awkward IMHO 17:32
lizmat likes "%hash ,= %u;" 17:35
ilmari ooh, nice 17:36
perlpilot aye, that's my favorite but in the spirit of timtowtdi, could we not have .update() as well?
ilmari or .merge() ? 17:41
moritz .merge sounds to me like it'd handle multiple levels of hashes 17:43

timotimo javascript has Object.assign which allows you to merge multiple objects i believe 17:44

Altreus If class Y is X, can I change an object of type X into type Y? 22:56
I'd like to extend XML::Document, and also have its routines return typed nodes 22:57
its methods
gfldex m: class B { method m { return self } }; class A is B {}; say A.new.m.^name; 22:58
camelia A
gfldex Altreus: ^^^
Altreus gfldex: sure, but XML::Document.lookfor returns an array of XML::Element objects 22:59
And I want to extend XML::Element with several new types
gfldex Altreus: I can't see why that should be a problem. 23:00
Altreus So is there a better way than doing «MyElementType.new($_) for (get some elements)» ?
gfldex Altreus: you will have to overload the method that is doing the parsing 23:01
Altreus but surely I'd just be doing the above in that method/ 23:02
Otherwise I'd have to reimplement its entire behaviour just to change the type of object it returns
gfldex Altreus: this might help: gfldex.wordpress.com/2017/10/08/it...-way-down/ 23:03
timotimo Altreus: perhaps what you want can be done by just mixing in roles 23:09
Altreus I was thinking along those lines
timotimo otherwise, rebless could work, but it's internalsy (use nqp; nqp::rebless(NewType, $object) or the other way around)
Altreus but then I thought, now it's a role 23:10
So it doesn't have to go on an XML::Element
So *then* I thought, how do I provide a different version of the method depending on what I mix it into?
It doesn't matter, but academically...
🤔 Can I overload the method based on the type of $self? 23:11
jnthn m: role R { multi method m(Int:) { "Int!" }; multi method m(Str:) { "Str!" } }; say (1 but R).m; say ("foo" but R).m 23:13
camelia Int!
Str!
jnthn Something like that?
Altreus yeah :D
hey that's what I expected
thanks ^-^
jnthn Wasn't quite sure what you were after; glad I guessed right :)
AlexDaniel jnthn: any progress with whateverable segv? Any assistance I can provide? 23:25
Altreus I seem to have invented an infinite loop 23:26
jnthn AlexDaniel: Not yet; today I thought I'd try and quickly finish up a spesh change I was working on last week, and the *one* failing spectest uncovered a tricky issue that I then spent the rest of the day trying to work out how to try and solve... 23:30
AlexDaniel awesome 23:31
AlexDaniel loves progress
jnthn Aye, just not on the whateverable segv, alas.
AlexDaniel someone's bug today is whateverable's bug tomorrow, so I'm happy with any progress :) 23:32
hmm fwiw that seems to be the golfed version of #1262: gist.github.com/AlexDaniel/f7e4379...fdf2453506 23:34
Altreus gosh, I spent all this time putting together a github thingy with an example XML file to ask why I have an infinite loop, and the example file I found on the internet doesn't give me an infinite loop D: 23:46
I can't tell you how pleasing it is to use the word 'but' in a program
