Set by TimToady on 25 January 2008.
TimToady I believe when pugs implemented that the right side of = wasn't an implicit closure 00:03
in other words, pugs is wrong there
Auzon It's a really cool concept. Sadly, no one seems to be able to do it yet, so I won't rely on it when I'm not testing it 00:04
(1..5).map({Foo.new(count => $_)}) works just fine, but it's uglier

TimToady that's wrong
Auzon which part? 01:28
TimToady that should parse as (say 1)|2|(3.perl)
er, rather
say (1|2)|(3.perl)
oh, wait, that's what it idi 01:29
*did
see the quotes around "3"
diakopter sees
Auzon Yes.
Which is why I shouldn't mix functional calls and method calls.
Not that it'd help here
pugs: perl(1|2|3) 01:30
p6eval RESULT["(1 | 2 | 3)"]
rhr what is say(1|2) supposed to print?
TimToady lists don't autothread
so it's whatever 1|2 stringifies to as a junction 01:31
Auzon pugs: say ~(1|2)
p6eval OUTPUT[any(VStr "1",VStr "2")␤]
rhr is that just unspecced on purpose?
TimToady that lists don't autothread? that's specced somewhere... 01:32
rhr no, ~(1|2)
TimToady it is not specced how Junction should stringify
rhr ok
TimToady but making it the same as Junction.perl is probably reasonable 01:33
Auzon OK. Another question. The candidates for the methods of an object are processed with the multimethods of a given class, then the ones of its superclass, correct? 01:34
01:34 r0bby joined, [particle] joined
TimToady I presume you mean really multimethods and not multisubs 01:34
01:35 japhb left
TimToady I've argued that one both ways in my head 01:35
I think current spec says that you determine which class to dispatch to before you do multiple dispatch within that class's multimethods
if I recall... 01:36
but not ifn't I don't recall...

pugs_svnbot r20771 | diakopter++ | [yap6] added a new memoization/recursion-escape technique.
r20771 | diakopter++ | The diff is very very long.
diakopter that new technique, once it's working (it syntax-checks in perl now! :), should give O(n) parsing once I add a zillion trace lines and actually get it working. you might call that last commit a stub. 17:18

rakudo_svn r28276 | jonathan++ | [rakudo] Get us closer to S12 role composition semantics for attributes. This patch implements, 'Two has attributes of the same name, whether public or private, are simply merged into one slot, provided the types are the same; otherwise, the composition fails.' Also, move some
..code around to make sure we do the role composition once everything inside the class has been declared, not before, as per the spec.

lambdabot Title: Lisp and Perl
mncharity pmurias: re time, neat. :)
diakopter while you're thinking about that, let me know if you have any ideas for autogenerating all those declarations (uppercase/lowercase) and the wrapper functions and the %N
17:59 iblechbot joined
diakopter b/c those are a pain to type every time I add a rule 18:00
pmurias diakopter: overloaded ++ dosn't return a value, not nice :( 18:02
18:02 bnjmn-- left
pmurias diakopter: why do you need all those declarations? 18:02
are there used elsewhere then for creating the subs? 18:06
a rule foo {...} could be replaced by rule foo => sub {...} or rule 'foo' {} which would create the appropriate sub and %N entry 18:08
diakopter pmurias: yeah; I couldn't use ++, so I worked around it with a source filter :D 18:09
the declarations are necessary so the scalars are created before the coderefs are created
pmurias why do you need the scalars?
diakopter because the rules refer to each other
and if it parses $rulename (or some function that returns $rulename) before it's declared, perl dwidm and doesn't complain, but the references are empty 18:11
even if they're assigned coderefs in main
anyway, obviously the grammar could be in a separate file and then the package file generated and then eval'd from it... 18:12
pmurias diakopter: you are doing it to enable sub foo {bar}; sub bar {...} style thing? 18:13
with &foo being declared later in the file then being defined? 18:14
diakopter yes
18:14 Southen joined
diakopter any other ideas on implementing that? 18:14
pmurias use foo() instead of foo 18:15
diakopter do you mean sub foo() {} or sub bar { foo() } 18:16
pmurias sub bar { foo() }
diakopter yeah, I could use that, but that's too many arcs
:P 18:17
18:17 eternaleye joined
diakopter not too many to type, I mean (obviously)... too many to look at 18:17
diakopter wonders if an entire package can be eval'd like that 18:20
and if it would persist.. 18:21
pmurias diakopter: you have a list of sub foo();sub bar();... on top 18:22
* could have
18:23 r0bby joined
diakopter it's not the functions that are the problem, anyway, it's the my $Uppercase = parser { $lowercase->(@_) } that are the problem 18:23
pmurias what to use you the $Uppercase for? 18:24
diakopter Uppercase is what lowercase() returns
it's the generated parser
parser sub { lower... } builds the parsers
pmurias why can use have rule 'lowercase' {} create &lowercase
diakopter based on how they're declared below it
pmurias s/can use/can't you/ 18:25
diakopter I tried that, but would you declare them as "our"?
b/c I couldn't get them to persist
pmurias with sub lowercase(); at the top allowing you to omit parens
all subs are our in p5 18:26
well global
diakopter no, I mean $U and $l
pmurias throw $U and $l away
diakopter they have to be there 18:27
pmurias what for?
18:27 pmichaud_ is now known as pmichaud
pmurias you only use them to generate &l 18:27
diakopter the parsers have to be generated before they're used... and declared before they're generated, but the generating subs have to be declared before the rules are declared
pmurias it's possible to that withought tem
s/tem/them 18:28
diakopter I'll be impressed.... I mean, if MJD couldn't figure it out... :P
18:28 Southen_ left
diakopter so you'd have sub rule ($&) { eval qq{ sub $_[0] { \$.... what? 18:30
parser {} returns a coderef... what would you call this coderef? 18:32
18:32 t35t0r left
pmurias i wouldn't use eval 18:32
diakopter I suppose parser could stash it in a hash
pmurias is yap6 supposed to work right now?

cjfields I'm assuming the Array form only accepts single characters for the key, while the value can be any length 19:02
pmichaud I think that spaces are significant in the translation keys
cjfields That's what I thought, but the spec test indicate otherwise
pmichaud the spec tests can be wrong.
that's why we're reviewing them. :-)
also, I think it's likely that the test was written before the current version of trans() in S05. 19:03
diakopter sometimes, all three of: the spec, the spectests, and the implementations are wrong...
19:04 rindolf joined
diakopter afk 19:05
cjfields Okay; that makes the most sense. The interesting bit is that 'AD..Z' (string) is supposed to be converted over to a List ('A', 'D'..'Z'), which involves a little behind-the-scenes work 19:06
but I have a p6 grammar that gets through that bit 19:07
Just trying to work out the whitespace bit. I'll see how p5 deals with it for now. 19:08
pmichaud (supposed to be converted to a List) ... where did you see that?
cjfields "The two sides of any pair can be strings interpreted as tr/// would: $str.=trans( 'A..C' => 'a..c', 'XYZ' => 'xyz' );" 19:09
pmichaud but that doesn't say anything about converting the strings into a list.
cjfields Wouldn't 'A..C' be ( 19:10
('A', 'B', 19:11
'C')
cjfields hitting 'Enter' too many times
That would be the same as 'A'..'C', but the first is a string interpreted as a Range of values (similar to the older 'A-Z' in p5 tr///) 19:12
pmichaud 'A..C' would represent the characters A through C, yes, but I don't see anything that indicates it has to be done using a List. 19:13
I'm not saying it cannot be doing with a List, only that I don't see it being required by the spec.
s/doing/done/
cjfields okay, I see what you mean 19:14
I have currently 5/17 tests passing the current spec (the patch is in RT for that one). All failing tests have the spacing issue, ranges, or are p5-like tr///. 19:17

pmurias diakopter: it turned out the issue is more complex then i think, but i'm steadily moving in the right directions proximity
diakopter I guess now I should tell you I wasted probably 8 hours last week trying to work around it myself... 19:29
well, not wasted. I learned a lot.
mncharity i'm puzzling over the question of when exactly we'll start seeing people writing in p6 again. 19:31
does pugs' ext/ figure in the rakudo project vision anywhere? or is the code too stale, and authors all gone.
moritz_ mncharity: ext/CGI/ nearly works on rakudo 19:32
mncharity: and I plan to get ext/Sudoku/ running as well
mncharity :)
any feel for when those might be possible? 19:33
moritz_ not really 19:35
mncharity :/ ok, tnx

mncharity re PCR, one potential elf story was "being able to compile p6 rx to fast p5 will be of interest to people, and attract them to p6 and elf". but... even if one accepts the former, the latter two don't really follow... 19:41
pmurias diakopter: shouldn't program do the parsing, instead of returning a sub which does the parsing? 19:46
mncharity puzzle is, looking ahead at a strawman elf dev path of 'CL backend => fastest pX ever'; 'rx engine in'; 'parser->p6 => full bootstrap, runs like the wind'; 'sync rx w spec'; 'flesh out prelude'; 'run ext/'; 'run in browser'; ... or something perhaps vaguely somewhat like that... 19:48
pmurias pX means? 19:49

mncharity re 5|6, yes.
diakopter /usr/bin/perl56
19:50 ron left
pmurias mncharity: do you think a CL backend would beat perl5? 19:51
mncharity puzzle is, it's not clear at what point in that path anyone starts being interested in writing p6. kp6, well advertised but non-bootstrapped and glacial wasn't it. current elf half-bootstrapped and fast but poorly advertised isn't it. unclear to me what is it... what is sufficient for folks to start writing p6 again? 19:52
re CL faster than p5, yes, no question. and critically, abstractions can compile away, 19:53
moritz_ mncharity: features on demand would bring people back to p6
mncharity so you are not always faced with "there the right way to do this... but I can afford the sub/method call cost of it...".
diakopter maybe they're/we're waiting for Dlugosz to finish his rigorous spec doc 19:54
mncharity "features on demand"?
pmurias "we write a test, you write the feature"
moritz_ right
mncharity ah... ok. yes, that was very nice. 19:55
re rigorous spec doc, ... one issue is, the story has always been "need impl to serve as foil for language design". with p6l still arguing over .WHAT, well, my fuzzy impression is oo is on TimToady's todo list after parsing. I've repeatedly found myself stuck on "I just need a bleeping spec"... but currently think of that view as a misunderstanding of the p6 dev process. 19:58
pmurias re intrested in writing p6, you mean the point when people start playing with it or writing (semi-) serious stuff in it
mncharity so there seem likely to be one or more p6-like impls for a while, with people starting to use them, generating experience and feedback, with the spec continuing to revised... rather than a spec->impls->users waterfall. 19:59
diakopter why doesn't someone melt these shotgun pellets into a bullet... 20:00
oh yeah; b/c there's no rifle... 20:01
mncharity re meaning of intrested in writing p6, people writing ext/ like things? not sure if that's play or semi-serious.
creating order 10 classes and at least high order 100 lines of code with the indent of doing something? 20:03
diakopter I submitted two items to the GSOC tasks idea page - 1. flesh out the Perl 6 test suite 2. Write the Perl 6 compiler in Perl 6 [without a complete implementation on which to run it]. Obviously the second was a little far-fetched 20:04
mncharity diakopter: well, there's this: there's a p6 story that p6+cpan will create an environment for language evolution. towards a p7 which is ai complete or somesuch. something like that. point is, if gracefully evolving language and implementation is a requirement for p6.0.0, then p6 being as yet incompletely spec'ed isn't really a problem, because 20:05
pugs_svnbot r20773 | pmurias++ | [yap6] initial try at removing some of the boilerplate
pmurias diakopter: checked my attempt in
mncharity you have to create something which can gracefully move around a p6-ish design space anyway, so it doesn't matter that you don't have a point target at the moment. 20:06
pmurias the perl6 spec isn't likely to change much now 20:08

diakopter pmurias: looks good to me.. thanks! 20:16
pmurias diakopter: it would be slightly more efficient if reverse @order would be used used inplace of @order, assuming the grammar is structured from the topmost rule downwards
diakopter nah; the order doesn't matter..., although it might if the parser generator functions were memoized 20:17
mncharity re elf... if there were a 'dedicate N person weeks to build X, and "they will come"' story, that could be nice. but a 'well, we've built F, and they didn't come. M+e weeks will get G, and they might come then, or perhaps M+2e and H, or maybe..." story doesn't lend itself to project planning and resource management.
diakopter can't believe the first attempt at implementing packrat_TR-2007-002.pdf is actually sorta working 20:18
the current grammar creates 541 parser objects
pmurias mncharity: i'm not a typical perl coder, so i can't really help you with finding out what motivates others 20:20
diakopter now, if only ++ returned something (somehow)... I got the copy constructor to persist a reference to the original, but I gave up at 4 a.m. or something 20:21
[particle]1 mncharity: nobody knows about what you're doing, because there's 125 people in the room, and most are just lurking 20:22
use email, blog, share with the world!
you need to let people know what you're doing, and why it matters to them
vixey what is happening with elf now? 20:23
pugs_svnbot r20774 | jnthn++ | [spectest] Couple more tests for attribute composition.
mncharity [particle]1: hmm, interesting thought... a prerequisite seems a "Why Perl 6 matters" piece, which I've never seen one of (audreyt's paper really wasn't it), and has been on the infinite todo list for years... maybe now's the time to do it? 20:25
pmurias diakopter: should you really be using $obj++ or ++$obj, they seem to be implying side effects 20:27
20:27 rindolf left
mncharity vixey: re "what is happening with elf now?", well, whatever I do next? possibilities are 'translate parser from ruby to p6' (or wait for TimToady's parser, as it's not pressing until there's a second backend), or 20:27
get the elf on CommonLisp backend bootstrap working, or add more-than-positional-arguments to the p5 backend, or 20:28
or drop stuff from Snn into the preludes, or further patch std.rb so you can actually do that an have it parse, or
there's a TODO file... 20:29
[particle]1 mncharity: it may be time, but not for me to write :) 20:30
mncharity or pursue the rx_on_re translation/creation of an p6 rx engine,
svn.pugscode.org/pugs/misc/elf/TODO
has some of these
re 'not for me to write', :) but, it would at least be something which actually affects other people, which it's not entirely clear elf does. 20:32
[particle]1 indeed 20:33
diakopter pmurias: now that I look at it, I guess I removed all the -- and ++ from the grammar. 20:35
mncharity vixey: if by happening you mean what works, there's a p6 parser (faster than pugs, and at least a while back, faster and at least in some ways more complete than rakudos), a p6 compiler written in p6 (only one existent, unless you count rakudo's grammar actions as a compiler), fastest not-really-p6 implementation (ie, when it works, faster than pugs/kp6/rakudo). that said, 20:36
diakopter in fact, I barely remember what I was *going* to use them for.
mncharity various "that's not quite right/enough"s. written to make p6 _compiler writing_ possible. not really to itself be a "let's be a random user writing using random p6 features". 20:37
so... p6 compiler writing is possible... you can write 100+ class p6 programs and run them... there could be people pouring in prelude code right now (modulo having to be aware of current implementation limitations and weaknesses, and sometimes needing those pushed back)... but, there aren't. 20:39
more explicitly, both pugs and rakudo have a broader and more correct implementation of p6 that elf at the moment. that wasn't the elf objective. setting people up to be able to address it, while working comfortably in p6, was. 20:42
rakudo_svn r28282 | jonathan++ | [rakudo] S12-role/attributes.t is now fudged. 20:43
mncharity at some point it will become possible to run an elf on rakudo. perhaps even before most of ext/ works. though some things like temp(), which you really want when writing a compiler, don't seem high on the rakudo todo list. 20:45
rakudo: our $x=3; temp $x =4; say $x; 20:46

mncharity hmm, "Why Perl 6 matters"... the ideas it has, and "why not just take those ideas to python/ruby/scala/javascript/(other?)". 20:49
diakopter watches evalglot in #parrot 20:55
pmurias implementing them in those languages would be difficult too
mncharity pmurias: which in which? 20:56
Auzon APL and Tcl and BF and lolcode? 20:57
mncharity scala, yes, rather fundamentally. the others... it would be mostly non-core performance which bites you, and they all have active jit projects which blur that. besides, all but javascript have "if its a good idea, and you need better-than-native performance, do a plugin" stories. 20:58
p5 should go on the list too. don't know of an active p5 jit project, but p5 community would be willing to modify impl to do p6ish stuff fast. 20:59
rakudo_svn r28284 | pmichaud++ | [rakudo]: 21:01
r28284 | pmichaud++ | * Refactor Range a bit.
mncharity ruby, and perhaps js, aren't as well set up as python to do language extentions, eg, to add type information gracefully. 21:02
pmurias mncharity: implementing perl6 ideas in python/ruby/scal/javascript would be hard too 21:03
mncharity yes, but they have more active communities.
than p6
the usual response I get when describing 'random neat p6 feature' is 'ok, neat. but why not do that in X, rather than p6'. where X is rb/js/... hmm, usually not py. 21:05
so a "Why Perl 6 matters" has to address those questions. 21:06
pmurias by 'random neat p6 feature' you mean a syntactic, vm or semantic feature? 21:10
mncharity spinclad: if you were interesting in a CL/p6 hybrid task, create a class prim { sub array_create() is cl {'...cl code...'}; ... } and class Array { has $prim; method new { ...$prim = prim::array_create(...)... }... all of S29...} wouldn't have to run, but just assembling it all would be a help. feel free to make the method sigs all spec, even where they don't quite run yet. I can then massage elf and them to work.
same for Hash.
pmurias: syntactic or semantic, yes. p6, the langauge, doesn't have vm features. 21:11
though p6 would of course be a nice language to _implement_ vm's in. 21:13
and "real compile-time and aggressive compiler story, rather than merely jit", is one 'neat feature' vs rb/py/js. 21:14
diakopter pmurias: I can't get it to work with any more than 'program' 21:15
pmurias hm
diakopter: i converted usev6 withought problems 21:18
diakopter: what errors do you get 21:19
pugs_svnbot r20775 | pmurias++ | [yap6]
r20775 | pmurias++ | removed debugging leftover
r20775 | pmurias++ | usev6 converted
pmurias mncharity: before i forget a simple way of parsing use v5; would be to use indentation as a way of determining where p5 code ends 21:20
diakopter I converted stmtList 21:21
mncharity re vm, parrot seems somewhat a no-op on "Why Perl 6 matters". If parrot runs well, then it can run other languages, so it's not an argument against 'add p6 feature X to language Y'. And even if it runs not so well, everyone is targeting multiple vm's, so that would not be an argument that Perl 6 doesn't matter.
pmurias you can ci the code and i'll try to fix it
21:23 Jedai joined
pmurias i should be getting some sleep now& i'll backlog as always 21:23
mncharity hmm. I suspect making p5 _easier_ to use in elf is very much the wrong direction. it 21:24
oh
diakopter pmichaud: it's b/c stmtList is self-referential 21:25
oops
pmurias:
mncharity anyway, it would only encourage bootstrap compromising things like tidy() (which still needs to be turned into mostly p6;). nice for end users, of which we don't have one yet, but not nice for compiler development. 21:26
pmichaud diakopter: ...? 21:27
mncharity pmichaud: that was a misaddress I believe
diakopter pmichaud: I meant to say pmurias:
pmichaud oh, okay. 21:28
mncharity the two objectives of on_SBCL are () speed - no so much that we need it now, though it would be neat to be able to run the the full t/ test suite in < 1 minute (once parsing is converted to p6), and () help keep the bootstrap honest. 21:31
but perhaps I've just overlooked some need for 'use p5;'? let me know...
err, "not so much that we need it now...", but that it might attract developers,... 21:32
21:35 Chillance joined
mncharity anyone: Here's an opportunity to get to know p6 better. Go through the Snn, especially S29, pulling out all the bits of code into a single elfish/prelude/Prelude.pm file. Snarf the class hierarchy from elf_f_src/Prelude.pm, and check it against the more-likely-to-be-correct rakudo tree. rakudo: say Foo.isa(Bar). ... 21:42
Ie, start writing the spec p6 prelude.
Don't worry about the method bodies and such. just collecting the sigs would be valuable. 21:43
could probably do the same thing for operators... though I'm not quite sure what it would look like... multi sub infix:<-> is equiv(&infix:<+>) ($a,$b) {yada} ? 21:46
