timotimo what i like to do is have a channel where i send a specific number of permits and when i want to do something that consumes a resource i receive from the channel and when that part of code is done it sends on the channel 00:02
actually, it might be better to "await" the channel, because that can suspend the task back to the thread pool i assume 00:03
guifa Hmm, I'll look into trying that. Although ultimately all this is just trying out different features. As long as my project runs, multi or single threaded, my dissertation advisor will be happy haha 00:05

thowe Hi, Perl6. Tell me things that will make me happy. 00:44
MasterDuke Herby_: fwiw, rakudo doesn't lift the @target_array.elems out of the loop, so it's being called for every iteration. elems is pretty fast, so it frequently doesn't matter, but good to know
Herby_ thowe: I just brute-forced hello world
MasterDuke: I didn't know that. Thanks!
thowe OK, cool. I didn't know Hello World required much in the way of force, but you do you. 00:45
00:45 mcmillhj joined
Herby_ MasterDuke: would it be overly complicated to somehow multi-thread it? so one thread starts at the beginning, the other thread starts at the end, and they meet in the middle? 00:45
maybe threading isn't the right term. those concepts are pretty foreign to me
00:46 kurahaupo left, kurahaupo joined
Voldenet afair not many interpreters/compilers optimize that case when you call .length, .elems, .count or similar, because they assume mutability of the collection 00:48
MasterDuke you'd have to be careful since it (generally) isn't safe to write to an array from multiple threads, but yeah, you could do that
00:50 mcmillhj left
MasterDuke Voldenet: true. however, i don't think rakudo lifts any sort of sub/method call out 00:50
but i think it's just that the optimization hasn't been implemented yet, not that the language precludes it 00:53
00:59 kurahaupo left, kurahaupo joined
Voldenet huh, I've tried my luck in implementing bruteforce hello world 01:02
but it doesn't work 01:03
my @a = "Hello world".comb; my $b = @a.elems; loop { my @c = (^$b).map({ "Helowrd ".comb.roll }); @c.join("").print; sleep(.001); "\r".print; return if @c eq @a }
I'm not sure why
;>
oh, I should've put the `print "\r"` after return
Herby_ first glance i didnt understand your Helowrd :) 01:05
01:05 mcmillhj joined
Voldenet my @a = "Hello world".comb; my $b = @a.elems; loop { my @c = (^$b).map({ "Helowrd ".comb.roll }); @c.join("").print; last if @c eq @a; "\r".print } 01:05
now it works*
*if your computer is lucky 01:06
Herby_ m: my @a = "Hello world".comb; my $b = @a.elems; loop { my @c = (^$b).map({ "Helowrd ".comb.roll }); @c.join("").print; last if @c eq @a; "\r".print }
Voldenet I guess the bot isn't too lucky. ;D

Voldenet I could've just given him the 32..126 chrs, but it would probably take ages 01:08
Herby_ your code is still chugging along on my computer :)
01:09 markong left, kurahaupo left 01:10 mcmillhj left, kurahaupo joined
Voldenet theoretically this should take forever 01:10
;D
my @a = "Hello world".comb.Array; my $b = @a.elems; my @al = @a.unique.Array; my @c = @a.map({""}); loop { @c .= map({ @al.roll }); @c.join("").print; last if @c eq @a; "\r".print } 01:17
this should run more ops/sec
and it would probably be even faster if I just dropped the map
Herby_ can you work some parallel/async/concurrency magic on it?
Voldenet Hm, I am not sure if it's worth it 01:18
timotimo you mean just put .race in one place and suddenly it's super fast? ;) 01:21
Herby_ timotimo: exactly!
01:23 kurahaupo left, mcmillhj joined, kurahaupo joined
Voldenet huh... 01:27
there's a performance difference between "for ^$b { ... }" and "... for ^$b" 01:28

Voldenet ix.io/18Uh 01:28
The sample code when I can benchmark it
timotimo right, one has a lexical scope of its own and that is harder to optimize 01:29

it's equally fast now

spacedbat I'm writing a perl6 repl mode for emacs, and I'd like it to print a version banner when it starts up 02:08

spacedbat my next question: is there a way to run some code supplied on the command line, say via the -e flag, and lastly evaluate an expression to start the REPL? 03:33
03:38 mcmillhj joined 03:39 Zoffix joined
spacedbat any ideas how to start the repl from within a perl6 program, as though perl6 was run without arguments? 03:40
Zoffix Kinda, but it involves using unsupported code 03:41
spacedbat ah - what I'm aiming to do is print a banner when my emacs perl6 repl starts
Zoffix perl6 -e 'say "Look, ma! A banner!\n\n"; use nqp; nqp::getcomp("perl6").interactive' 03:42
spacedbat timotimo suggested using -M but that would involve creating a file which complicates things a bit - ideally I'd be able to supply the banner as a -e one liner and go on to the repl
ok, and nqp::getcomp is unsupported/likely to change?
Zoffix It is unsupported. It might change, dunno 03:43
03:43 mcmillhj left
spacedbat right... I've read some of your stuff online, I want to thank you for your works Zoffix 03:43
Zoffix :) 03:44
spacedbat ok that works a treat - I might support customizing the initialization of the repl so if the needed incantation changes it will be easy for users to adapt 03:46
Zoffix spacedbat: or maybe this works too: perl6 -e 'say "A banner\n"; run $*EXECUTABLE' 03:47
a perl-within-perl
more exactly: perl6 -e 'say "A banner\n"; my $ = run $*EXECUTABLE'
(the second version doesn't sink the Proc so if someone types exit(42) in REPL there's no "The spawned process exited unsuccessfully" message 03:48
)
03:52 mcmillhj joined
spacedbat right, I was doing the $*EXECUTABLE trick before but to get the banner by passing it -v 03:53
however the banner then appeared later than I wanted it to
thanks for the tip 03:54
does perl6 have an equivalent of exec (replace current process?)
Zoffix nope
03:55 mcmillhj_ joined
spacedbat maybe there's a posix lib, or I guess I could just nativecall it 03:55
Zoffix As for appearing later. Hmm, maybe try setting $*OUT.out-buffer: False; before printing the banner. If you're not running with a tty STDOUT, it'll be buffered.
"by passing it -v" what does that mean? 03:56
spacedbat by later I mean, it printed To exit type 'exit' or '^D' first
then the banner
I was doing this first thing after the repl started: say run($*EXECUTABLE.Str, '-v', :out).out.slurp-rest 03:57
I'm an old hand at perl5 but a bit rusty, much less familiar with perl6 03:58
03:58 wamba left
Zoffix Seems to print fine when you pass the code in -e gist.github.com/zoffixznet/665f492...47bc9fa47d 03:58
There's also a switch to have a silent repl
spacedbat yes I noticed that, but I want this to be interactive 03:59
I like the run $*EXECUTABLE trick, but I'd rather not spawn an extra process that lingers
04:00 mcmillhj_ left
spacedbat there's a few things for me to try now, cheers 04:00
Kaiepi node has a repl module to allow people to do this
spacedbat I noticed there is a REPL trait - seen a gist where someone made a custom repl 04:02
Zoffix That might've been mine from awhile back when we had to workaround a bug that made it into the release 04:04
spacedbat this was it: gist.github.com/regnarg/3b98a0b5f3...c1bb0da3ff
04:05 mcmillhj left
Zoffix Ah 04:05
Well, it's using the same nqp::getcomp('perl6'); I showed above
spacedbat yes
I don't need all that extra stuff, would like this to be vanilla perl6 repl with a banner to start with 04:06
I'm going to contribute it to the perl6-mode for emacs

todd hi all. A mystery. This works: $ClipStr ~~ s:global/"\t"/"\n"/; for split( "\n", $ClipStr ) -> $Line { 06:12
but this does not: for split( "\t", $ClipStr ) -> $Line { 06:13
or this for split( ord(9), $ClipStr ) -> $Line {
Zoffix What happens when it doesn't work? 06:14
06:16 mcmillhj left
todd The whole $ClipStr gets transfered into only one $Line 06:18
Zoffix m: my $ClipStr = "foo\tbar"; for split("\t", $ClipStr) -> $line { dd $line } 06:19
camelia Str $line = "foo"
Str $line = "bar"
Zoffix What's the actual code you're using?
todd I forgot the name of that clipboard routing I can copy it onto the web 06:20
paste something or other 06:21
Zoffix I'm guessing you aren't actually using split the way you showed above and instead you stored the return value into a variable first which containerized it. Either bind it ($x := split) or decont it (for $x<>) 06:22
huggable: decont

Zoffix todd: use "\t" 06:25

Zoffix That just gives you the ord for character "9"
todd \t did not work either 06:26
Zoffix It's just "\t" without any ord(). Is that what you used?
todd for split( "\t", $ClipStr ) -> $Line { do something } 06:28
It did not split the string
Zoffix Add `dd $ClipStr` before the loop. What does it print?
06:31 robertle joined
todd no. just one long line 06:31
Zoffix But what is it? 06:32
What's the output?
todd whatever I copyu into the secondary clipboard as one long line, unless I to a s:g/"\t"/|\n"/ on it change the tabs to new line and then split on new lines 06:35

is there a way to say 'use D' in c.pm6, perhaps inside the package {}
to make the use line shorter...
ive tried a few things but havent found a way to use partial package paths... 14:16

thowe I seem to recall a module or method to do exactly that in Perl5, but don't remember it. I've seen mst do it in code. 14:30
timotimo use always refers to compunits 14:31
i.e. "use FooBar" can give you a "BleepBloop" if that's what's in the file that has that name
El_Che you'll loose namespacing that way 14:38
you want to keep namespacing, you just want a short way to reference in the consuming class 14:39
timotimo i'm not sure i understand 14:40

AlexDaniel` timotimo: oh, I know 14:59
Will fix once i'm back home
thowe so, I almost hate to ask, but there seemed to be some debate recently... Should I put "use v6.c;" at the top of my script? 15:00
timotimo you can also put v6.d.PREVIEW if you're using "await" a bunch
and you're okay with code migrating between threads
thowe SInce I don't grok what you just said, I won't. 15:01
Zoffix thowe: it depends on your needs. `use v6.c` says "I want language version 6.c". So when new language features come out—like the stuff timotimo mentioned—your program won't have them available. This may be what you want, since you wrote the program for that specific language version, but you may also wish to always use the latest language version (which is what lack of `use v...` would use). Some people 15:05
also put it in to get more helpful errors if you accidentally run your perl6 script with perl compiler, but IME I found little use in that advice.

Zoffix ufobat: that's not an error, that's a warning 15:55
ufobat: the diagnostics of the failed test print the stringified exception, and since you never set the feature argument, it's stringifying an undefined value, resulting in a warning 15:56
