discord6 <RaycatWhoDat> so, uh 00:34
AlexDaniel ya? 00:35
discord6 <RaycatWhoDat> I've never made a language or a compiler before
<RaycatWhoDat> but I think I have to at least make a toy one
<RaycatWhoDat> To that end, should I use NQP or just regular Perl 6
<RaycatWhoDat> or is NQP something I shouldn't be worrying about? 00:37
Xliff RayCatWhoDat: I would do it in Perl6. Convert it to nqp when you have something working.
Take advantage of the higher level constructs while you are working out the kinks.
discord6 <RaycatWhoDat> What's the benefit of converting it to NQP later on? 00:38
Xliff Speed.
discord6 <RaycatWhoDat> On a scale of 1 to zoom, how much speed?
Xliff Probably 3-8x? Depending on what you're doing.
That's on average.
discord6 <RaycatWhoDat> Interesting. Well, let's see if I can't get that going. Lemme check if there's a Lisp dialect using Perl 6. 00:39
Xliff Oh. That's spelled 'nqp'. 00:40
If you are more familiar with Lisp, then I take back everything I've said. :)
discord6 <RaycatWhoDat> o
<RaycatWhoDat> Good talk, then. 😛
Xliff Yeah. I probably should flee now. 00:41
Xliff flees
00:41 Xliff left
discord6 <RaycatWhoDat> Ehh, I'll still do what you said 00:41
<RaycatWhoDat> I need to learn Perl 6 anyway
<RaycatWhoDat> And grammars looks sweet
<RaycatWhoDat> look* 00:42
00:49 aborazmeh left 01:03 HoboWithAShotgun left
discord6 <Aearnus> learning nqp before Perl 6 is like learning JVM bytecode before learning Java 01:06
<RaycatWhoDat> > NOTE: there's no end-user support for NQP and the behaviour can change without notice. It's a tool for writing Perl 6 compilers, not a low-level module for Perl 6 programmers. 01:08
<RaycatWhoDat> Hmm. Maybe I shouldn't use NQP.
AlexDaniel yeah, you shouldn't 01:17
not for this purpose for sure :) 01:18
or at least, not yet :)
01:26 elcaro joined
vrurg AlexDaniel: I would be happy if at some point Perl6 can replace NQP completely. Should be possible, I guess. 01:33
AlexDaniel vrurg: I have no idea how we can get there 01:40
and if it even makes sense
vrurg AlexDaniel: neither do I. But it doesn't hurt to dream about. ;) 01:41
It makes sense from the perspective of totally unified environment. It's not always easy to predict what NQP can and what it can't. 01:42
01:46 molaf left
discord6 <RaycatWhoDat> uhhh 01:52
<RaycatWhoDat> Question
<RaycatWhoDat> Belay that. I think I know the answer. 01:53
AlexDaniel what was the question? 01:58
:)
01:59 molaf joined
vrurg "May ask you a qustion?" - " Yes!" – "Thank you, I already did!" 01:59
discord6 <RaycatWhoDat> I was trying to figure out what to do once the grammar parses my string. 02:01
<RaycatWhoDat> Is it safe to consider it playing the role of both parser and lexer?
<RaycatWhoDat> Or would it just be considered a parser? 02:02
AlexDaniel yes, and you use Actions to build the Abstract Syntax Tree
02:02 Kaiepi joined 02:04 Manifest0 left
discord6 <RaycatWhoDat> dangit 02:04
<RaycatWhoDat> why did I decide to start this tonight
AlexDaniel why not? It's fun
02:04 Manifest0 joined
AlexDaniel also it's useful to know how to do this stuff for small things 02:04
discord6 <RaycatWhoDat> True. 02:06
vrurg At least somebody does some really interesting stuff. I'm bored to death polishing makefiles... ;) 02:12
AlexDaniel vrurg: at least we're all grateful for that 02:22
unless you break stuff :D 02:23
vrurg Who breaks? Me? I would never ever! :p
AlexDaniel right right right right
riiiiiight
:)
vrurg is a saint! 02:24
BTW, did you see I made a PR for Hash -> Map coercion with deconting?
Should releive you of backward compat concern. 02:25
AlexDaniel I looked at it, it raised my bloat concern a bit 02:26
but it's probably ok :)
vrurg: speaking of bloat, there's a lot of code in nqp-configure, do we actually need all that?
vrurg AlexDaniel: That's my concern too, but I wanna see what lizmat and jnthn say. Fast and simpler solution would be explicit deconting in Hash::Map method 02:28
AlexDaniel: Most of it. I need patrickb to talk about some cleanups, but he's busy until October. 02:29
AlexDaniel in nqp-configure there's a perl5 file that has 1500 lines, and another one with 1000. Stuff in nqp is much shorter, at 400 freaking lines… :)
vrurg AlexDaniel: remember, it's a merge of two Configure.pl from NQP and Rakudo. Basically, NQP::Config is what you had in common in them. 02:31
AlexDaniel I haven't looked at it closely, so maybe me freaking out is unjustified, but most projects are not of that size and this thing is just for configuring rakudo and nqp…
yeah I understand that it's much better now :)
vrurg NQP::Macros – well, this one is no way to be shorter. Cross-make compatibility requires a lot of macros.
I didn't mean it's better or worse. Just mean that if it gets shorter then no more than 100-200 lines. 02:32
vrurg is thinking about learning cmake and switching to it.
AlexDaniel oh that's gonna make some people scream very loudly :D 02:33
vrurg Why? 02:34
If there're objections – well, it'd spare me a lot of work hours. I'd feel good about it. ;) 02:35
AlexDaniel I don't have any, people just love to hate cmake
vrurg Perhaps it worth a topic in problem-solving then. But, anyway, I would like to relax on fixing a couple of tickets first. 02:37
AlexDaniel sure, cool
vrurg This makefile unification sucket me dry.
*sucked
AlexDaniel vrurg: so what is make.nqp doing? For example, there's Makefile::Grammar, what is that for? 02:38
vrurg AlexDaniel: it is supposed to replace make altogether. But it's useless until we get precompiled moar for as many platforms as possible. Or otherwise there is no way to just run Configure.pl in rakudo and get things done. 02:40
AlexDaniel vrurg: how is precompiled moar going to help? 02:43
vrurg AlexDaniel: how would we run make.nqp to build NQP itself? There is an chicken/egg problem.
There was a discussion with timotimo back in May or June here, on the channel. 02:44
AlexDaniel vrurg: so let's say you have moarvm compiled separately, would you be able to run make.nqp this way?
vrurg Though it was probably related to switching Configure to NQP. Not really sure for now. 02:45
AlexDaniel I thought no because you don't have nqp built yet
right?
vrurg AlexDaniel: wrong. We have stage0 precompiled nqp in nqp. We can use it.
Ok, time to go. Let's continue tomorrow! 02:46
o/
AlexDaniel uh, right… and how does that fly with distros like debian?
you can't have a blob like that, do they create it from scratch somehow? 02:47
robertle: ↑ so what's the policy? I thought you can't have things like this: salsa.debian.org/perl6-team/nqp/bl...nqp.moarvm 02:50
irced i see in the perl6 faq that perl6 runs on a variety of backends. currently MoarVM & JVM, JavaScript in deelopment. what's this about JS? 03:02

irced in the docs for Promise there is sample code as follows for the method in: 03:46
my $proc = Proc::Async.new('perl6', '-e', 'sleep 10; warn "end"');
my $result = await Promise.anyof( my $promise = $proc.start, Promise.in(5).then: { #..snip .then: { $promise.result } 03:47
my $result = await Promise.anyof( my $promise = $proc.start, Promise.in(5).then: { #..snip}).then: { $promise.result }

sena_kun: your fix resulted in the error message (HANDLED) Failed to open file /home/username/perl6/docs/ldap.asn: No such file or directory
sena_kun abraxxa, oh noes... well, that's not the fix itself, rather the update revealed a particular bug that was there for a long time. sigh. you can try to `zef uninstall Cro::LDAP` and then `zef install Cro::LDAP` 07:26
sena_kun needs to think about how to prevent `no such file` error
abraxxa how does it happen? 07:28
No candidates found matching identity: Cro::LDAP 07:29
sena_kun abraxxa, well, currently ASN::META depends on particular files being accessible during module usage... modules that are using it (currently Cro::LDAP) have those files at installation, but not at precompilation, so it fails
abraxxa zef update doesn't help either
sena_kun abraxxa, sorry, forgot it's not in the ecosystem, you need to update && use a local clone again 07:30

number6` hey, everyone. i have a question. why do you have to enclose multiple variables in parens when declaring them, as in my ($x, $y);, but can send multiple arguments to a function without using parens, as in say "the answer is ", 42; 12:47
12:50 sena_kun joined, lizmat joined
timotimo sub calls are "list prefix" precedence, i.e. what comes after them is parsed as a list that belongs to the prefix 12:51
i'm not sure why exactly the way "my" works was chosen, but I can imagine having to put parens makes it clear what happens in the case of "my Int $x, $y" (having to write it as "my Int ($x, $y)" 12:52
jnthn Well, `my $x, $y` is actually fine, it just doesn't declare $y, because of precedence 12:53
timotimo right, i parsed the question as presupposing that $y was also meant to be declared

Missing or wrong version of dependency 'src/Perl6/World.nqp' (from 'gen/moar/CORE.c.setting') 12:57
is this a known issue? or is did I somehow mess up my local install?
timotimo huh, shouldn't be related to the git submodules with the build system stuff, right? 13:00
lizmat is not sure 13:01
timotimo if so, "git submodule update" could help
but i think some setting is active that makes that unnecessary or something? 13:02
lizmat just done that, no action, no error message
timotimo OK
what about a "make clean"? 13:03
lizmat same result 13:08
vrurg lizmat: can you try on with --gen-nqp=master? 13:11
lizmat: I think I know what happens. Do you CORE.c.setting.moarvm in you source root? COREs are now being compiled into blib/ but ModuleLoader may still try loading them from ./ while building. 13:16

SmokeMachine jnthn: and that makes both `map`s consistent... 15:36
jnthn Well, but one has to be careful making consistency arguments, because for example .flat on a Supply is about flattening the inner Supply values, not any inner List values. 15:37
A List of Supply objects treats the Supply values inside of it as just items, and a Supply emitting List values does similar 15:38
That's why I'm a little wary about letting Slip have any magical behavior here

mayuresh hello. :) 15:41
anyone around?
jmerelo mayuresh: at least one :-)
mayuresh just dropped in to inquire about the status os 'mop' in p6
i meant; "status of 'mop'" :)
jmerelo mayuresh: there's a whole lot of that. Perl 6 includes a metamodel which allows you to build everything, not only objects. Check this out: docs.perl6.org/type/Metamodel::ClassHOW 15:42
mayuresh wow, that's awesome. will get to reading it now. thanks for sharing it. :) 15:43
bye.
jmerelo mayuresh: good luck :-)

SmokeMachine jnthn: imho it would make sense if we have a equivalent of a slip to supplies (as s supply is the equivalent of a list...) 15:45
15:46 lichtkind joined, wamba joined
SmokeMachine I mean a auto-flatten supply... 15:46
jnthn Maybe, but the downside is that it'd not handle the use case you care about in the example (a map with an if) 15:49
SmokeMachine jnthn: Yes, that's why I'd prefer to let the Slip be the Supply's Slip... 15:50

SmokeMachine Should I open a issue on problem-solve or just try to implement it? 16:01

jnthn SmokeMachine: I think I'd be happy with a PR adding the multi candidate and some tests; if anybody objects, we can go through the full process. 16:04
SmokeMachine jnthn: ok, I'll try to do that! :)

sarna hi, can I somehow express that a function should take either an int or a string with some content? like, sub(param: int | "foo") 16:46
16:46 MilkmanDan joined
sarna I'm writing some bindings to JS in another language and I've been wondering if that's possible in raku :) 16:47
Elronnd I would make it a multimethod 16:48
16:50 dolmen joined
sarna I know it can be done in tens of better ways, but it's this particular one I'm curious about :D 16:50
Guest93 sarna: You could also sub ($x where Int | "foo")
sarna Guest93: that works? cool! 16:51
would it work on a class field as well?
16:51 robertle joined
Guest93 sarna: yeah, it should 16:54
sarna Guest93: sweet! thanks :)
