jnthn You can .^lookup the method and, iirc, .cando passed a Capture will give all of the canidates that could match. Then iterate over them and call them. Alternatively, could just put nextsame or callsame at the end of each candidate. 00:00

Kaiepi ok this documentation is great

Inverting the order by using $sig in the `given` clause, I expect to make it a bit less confusing. Also inclusing the `default` clause, just in case. Moved `mismatch` to the first, to show that it's checked against. Hope this closes #1777, if it does not, just let me know.		 07:06

pmurias harc.github.io/seymour-live2017/ - fairly cool live programming work/hopefully we can hook it up to Perl 6 once it's language agnostic 09:46
pmurias it's interesting if the slow parsing price Perl 6 pays for it's complex and pluggable grammar is worth the increased barrier to tooling in the long run 09:48
moritz that is a quetion I've asked myself multiple times, with no clear answer yet 09:55
DrForr Well, I'm hoping to be able to give a more definitive answer in the near future. 10:22
pmurias DrForr: how so? 10:48
DrForr I'm waiting to hear if the Apache Foundation is able to sponsor me to do syntax highlighting for Perl 6/Eclipse. 10:50
pmurias DrForr: using the builtin Perl 6 grammar or the usuall approach of having something adhoc that kind of works? 10:51
DrForr pmurias: That's a good question actually. I haven't decided, although I suspect the usual suspects (too little time and its friends) will force hte latter. 10:54
tbrowder hi, #perl 11:03
tbrowder can anyone running debian 8 please describe the base java packages they are running? i have been using the sun/oracle ones for years and need to get to version 1.8 (however that translates into the obscure java naming system). thanks. 11:07
Kaiepi openjdk? 11:10
moritz openjdk-7-jre-headless 11:13
but that's version 7
openjdk-8-jre-headless is available in Stretch
dunno if there are jessie backports for it 11:14
Kaiepi would you be able to build it from source?
moritz according to serverfault.com/questions/830636/c...ian-jessie it works from backports

Zoffix leonzhou: there're separate, wildly different language these days. The names are similar only because ~16 years ago Perl 6 was meant to be the next version of Perl 5, but eventually those goals diverged and we got a separate language, with Perl 5 making its own set of improvements. 15:04

caasih So is it unwise to learn Perl 6 and then Perl 5? If my final goal is to understand pugs and the diverged moment in my next 5 or 10 years. 15:37
moritz I don't see why you have to learn Perl 5 at all to understand Pugs 15:39
El_Che caasih: do you understand haskell? 15:40
caasih El_Che: I know some haskell. I know some basic type classes like functor and monad. But I can’t understand advanced topics like lenses. 15:42
El_Che pretty much the only thing I remember from pugs was that it was written in haskell
caasih moritz: Ok. So I just learn to program in Perl 6 first. And I can forget about Perl 5 for now. 15:43
caasih El_Che: I read some dev logs about pugs but I can’t understand junctions at that moment. 15:43
Does Perl 5 have junctions? Why we need them? I didn’t notice them in other languages like C or JS. 15:45
moritz caasih: maybe docs.perl6.org/type/Junction.html helps?
El_Che clarify it a little for me. Are you a haskell afficionado, an Computer Science historian that want to figure how pugs worked? Or do you want to know how Junctions work in Perl 6?
moritz no, Perl 5 doesn't have them
El_Che if the latter, the Runtime of Perl 6 is Rakudo now. Pugs was abandoned
moritz and they are mostly a convience
caasih El_Che: I think I am the historian in this case. 15:47
El_Che caasih: ok, thx for clarifying 15:48
there are people around here that worked on pugs and may have some answers
caasih I may not use high level languages like Perl 6 or Haskell in my career. But I’d like to know stories about them in my free time. 15:49
El_Che++ cool, thanks for the advice. 15:50
moritz++ for the link
Voldenet It isn't unwise to learn perl6 and then perl5, they are different languages 15:59
perl6 is a fun toy language
I believe perl5 to be used more in real world environments 16:02
El_Che Voldenet: of course is Perl 5 more widely used being a popular lang with 30y history. No need to call perl6 a "toy language" though 16:05
Voldenet I call that every language that is fun to use 16:08
El_Che a 'it's not you, it's me" thing? 16:09
Voldenet Yeah, 't was meant to be complimentary :P 16:10
El_Che :)
lucasb Any type object can be coerced to Numeric and they will return integer zero (and emit a warning). Method .Numeric is inherited from Mu. 16:32
But what about the actual numeric types, can't they overload the .Numeric method to return a value of their type?
m: quietly say (.WHAT for +Num, +Rat, +Complex)
camelia ((Int) (Int) (Int))
lucasb wouldn't you like if this ^^ returned ((Num) (Rat) (Complex)) ? 16:33
the actual values returned would then be (0e0, 0.0, 0+0i) or (NaN, 0.0, 0+0i) 16:36
any opinions?
Zoffix lucasb: I recall chasing down the "undefined numerics are zero" thing a year or so ago and I recall rage-quitting and wishing we never carried over that feature from Perl 5. I forget the exact details tho. 16:46
m: Rat + 1 16:47
camelia WARNINGS for <tmp>:
Useless use of "+" in expression "Rat + 1" in sink context (line 1)
Cannot look up attributes in a Rat type object
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
Zoffix That probably was one of them. i.e., sure, you can make Rat.Numeric return <0/1>, but, Numeric isn't always used in operations
m: Int² 16:49
camelia Invocant of method 'Bridge' must be an object instance of type 'Int', not a type object of type 'Int'. Did you forget a '.new'?
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
Zoffix And many operations don't work with type objects, so why do we even have "undef is zero" thing in some random places.
When is it useful? 16:50
m: class { method z (Rat $x) { say "Numerator is {.nude.head}" } }.new.z: Rat 16:52
camelia No such method 'nude' for invocant of type 'Any'. Did you mean any of these?
none
note

in method z at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
Zoffix m: class { method z (Rat $x) { say "Numerator is {$x.nude.head}" } }.new.z: Rat
camelia Cannot look up attributes in a Rat type object
in method z at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
Zoffix And there are plenty of custom places where type Numeric objects would explode instead of being coerced to 0. So really, I wish we'd remove this whole idea entirely. 16:53
pmurias Zoffix: do we have a lot of tests depend on that? 16:55
Zoffix I'm about to test it. 16:56
timotimo it looks like state variables in `perl6 -ne` don't behave right 16:57
Zoffix There's also RT#130383
synopsebot RT#130383 [new]: rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=130383 [BUG] perl6 -n does not set $_ when it's interpolated via a block
Zoffix timotimo: what's the code that doesn't work? perl6 -ne 'say $++' and perl6 -ne 'state $x; say $x++' seem to work OK 16:59
And RT#130383 is just a mis-scoped QAST::Block 17:00
lucasb Zoffix: I guess I'm not surprised by "undef is zero" in the language. That's a behavior to be expected from a Perl language. I wouldn't mind if it goes away. I was just trying to make the already existent behavior a little more convenient. 17:02
Zoffix lucasb: is it really expected though? I imagine modern practices fatalize those warnings 17:03
(`use strictures 2;` doesn't tho) 17:04
jnthn I've had production code survive (desirably) in the case of missing data thanks to that
Rather than crash and burn
(Which wouldn't have been useful) 17:05
ZzZombo m: say Int+Str
camelia Use of uninitialized value of type Int in numeric context

Use of uninitialized value of type Str in numeric context
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
jnthn Certainly I prefer to handle such things explicitly, but sometimes things are unexpectedly missing.
Zoffix jnthn: I'd say that's pure luck. Had you used any of the ops that expect a :D value on that value, then it'd crash and burn.
jnthn Zoffix: I was thinking as much about Perl 5 as Perl 6 17:06
Zoffix pmurias: making Mu.Real and Mu.Numeric return 42 instead of 0 makes these stresstests fail: gist.github.com/zoffixznet/310e04b...0ff09cbbc6
jnthn Zoffix: Just saying that I'd lean towards "try to consistently warn and behave well" than "rip it out"
Zoffix Based on those tests results, it's probably too deeply ingraned to rip out by now 17:07
jnthn Yeah, I consider it a part of the forviging Perl-ish nature, so on that count I'd be hesitant to see it go 17:08

ZzZombo Ye, I got it, I just didn't read the messages right and thought they still complained about the parentheses.
lucasb Zoffix: which one? the "my num $x" defaulting to 0e0 or the overload .Numeric for number classes? 17:22
Zoffix: BTW, I appreciate your comment on that issue. I'll try to reply later. 17:23
Zoffix lucasb: the .Numeric for Numeric type objects. I'm against `num` defaulting to 0e0
Well, I'm -½ on it. No real strong feelings.
lucasb I found a new argument for my proposal. NaN is true! and I don't like that :) 17:24

Zoffix ^ a second example for the Twitter convo moritz++ mentioned.

Document/Fix docs for .Real/.Numeric on Numerics

  - Fix up some inaccuracies about .Real on Complex/Numeric
  - Remove prose on allomorphs about coercions and smartmatch
   for Numeric. The method itself is not concerned with those concepts.
  - Document behaviour of methods on :U Numerics:
   - Impl: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/1dc1f038f1

lucasb: ^ works now
lucasb: and I changed my mind on `num` defaulting to NaN. The fact that unitialized value is true is kinda bad. I think that's the single case of that being so in all of our types. 18:25
So +1 on changing it. You now need to convince others :)
Zoffix &
lucasb awesome, thanks Zoffix! 18:28

Changed some examples to a case that feels a bit more real

And shows intent refs #1748. Also separates code in different examples, leaving the text as text, so it addresses 4 and 5. It closes
Still it should also show an example where the method chaining does not work by using some data structure that can be used as the last argument to something, but does not have that something as a method.		 18:43

Remove trailing whitespaces.

Xliff If I want a grammar token to match the name, ala: "token DEFAULT { 'DEFAULT' }" is there a shortcut way to do this? 18:56
Xliff Because I have to do it.... a lot. 18:57
Defining this as <sym>, maybe?
moritz you can use the sym mechanism, yes 19:01
at least in proto tokens
Xliff What's the difference between proto tokens and normal ones? 19:06
In the case of something like DDL, would you use that mechanism for things like NULL, SELECT, DEFAULT, and so forth? 19:07

von_cheam Using this <<subset Char of Str where (*.chars == 1);>> to create a subtype for single-character strings gives me the warning <<Useless use of "==" in expression ".chars == 1" in sink context>> 21:46
Is there maybe a better/more perlish way to do this? If not, any ideas as to what I'm doing/thinking wrong?
Is it maybe interpreting "== 1" as "== True"?
moritz m: subset Char of Str where { .chars == 1 }; for '', 'a', 'aa' { say $_ ~~ Char } 21:48
camelia False
True
False
moritz von_cheam: ^^ this seems to be what you want

camelia False
True
False
moritz or even without braces
von_cheam Okay, thanks! It works with braces; I'll go with that! 21:50

/apl/all 22:16
timotimo oh it is? one sec. 22:17
nope, it's X::Syntax::Number::LiteralType in rakudo 22:18
Zoffix No, I mean the "canmot unbox" one
timotimo oh yes
i think it'd actually be super easy to do this, hold on.

timotimo yeah, except i'm still trying to get it to work :D 22:32
timotimo spews debug prints :) 22:38
potentially problematically this turns a runtime error into a compiletime error. not sure if that is wanted? 22:40
timotimo also, right now it suggests num(1) or 1.num %) 22:42

timotimo how did it get that representation ...
jnthn <1/2> is a Rat literal 22:59

jnthn Oh...that's a very good question
m: say <1/2>.perl
camelia 0.5
timotimo yeah, it's not there :D
jnthn Yeah, it's fishy but not *that* fishy :)
timotimo oh, of course 23:05

what exactly should be the right way here is a little muddy 23:12
