masak snarkyboojum: define 'supposed' :) 00:00
snarkyboojum: (it doesn't)
snarkyboojum masak: k
I get Null PMC errors
masak snarkyboojum: but mberends++ was looking into it. he and jnthn said they'd whack on Rakudo next week, trying to make proto run again on master.
snarkyboojum masak: excellent 00:01
masak (I mean jnthn++, of course.)
snarkyboojum masak: I'm keen, will probably just need a kick in the right direction initially (re Tardis) :)
masak snarkyboojum: I've not yet developed a sense for when you're usually around. when are you usually around? :)
lue Time And Relative Debugging In Space (TARDIS) :) 00:02
masak I'll concede that Tardis is just a work-in-progress name :)
snarkyboojum masak: well I'm in Oz and work from home - so I'm around during daylight hours and early even Oz-time (e.g. 11am here)
s/even/evening/
masak cool.
masak waves through the planet 00:03
00:03 mberends left
snarkyboojum :) 00:03
masak must be summer where you're at.
snarkyboojum masak: aye, and loving it (spend the last Oz summer in London)
masak and midday.
snarkyboojum spent
yep
lue Oh, I waved through the center of the universe :)
masak snarkyboojum: and upside down. man, you people are inverted! :) 00:04
snarkyboojum masak: and entirely aware of it :)
masak snarkyboojum: I was in .nz a few years back, and a prophet-like guy in Christchurch was selling upside-down maps. 00:05
snarkyboojum masak: heh - crazy kiwis - may have originated in the Northern Hemisphere tho :P
masak he said that turning the maps upside down would basically make everyone happier. and then he listed different ethnic groups who would benefit from this.
lue He's halfway across the world in the X/Y/Z axes, and ~5 hours back along the T axis :)
snarkyboojum masak: spent the summer before that working in Wellington (NZ), which felt like an Australian winter anyway, so effectively 3 winters in a row == not a happy camper 00:06
masak :/ 00:07
snarkyboojum: clearly, we need that time device sooner rather than later.
snarkyboojum have done quite a bit of "work" with the laptop in the sun in a park somewhere near the harbour this time around ;)
masak now that's just teasing.
snarkyboojum doesn't mention the cold beer then 00:08
jnthn snarkyboojum: We do have fridges in the Northern Hemisphere.
masak we're wading in snow up here. my hands are frostbitten by the cold.
perhaps not frostbitten. but very sad hands, anyway.
snarkyboojum jnthn: I was more in love with the central heating you guys have up there
masak snarkyboojum: must not have been .uk :) 00:09
jnthn masak: All my snow here is has a melt.
lue Time-Augmented Relative Debugging In Style :D
masak jnthn: weather forecast here says snow+snow+snow+snow.
snarkyboojum masak: heh - London for 9 months when it snowed last time.. central heating saved my soft Aussie bacon
jnthn masak: Wow. 00:10
00:10 ComWT left 00:11 nihiliad left, comwt joined
masak jnthn: yesterday, my bike slipped on an icy groove in the road. luckily, I fell right down into a pile of snow, so I wasn't hurt or anything. 00:11
jnthn will miss this appartment's underfloor heating.
masak: Ouch! :-( But glad you're OK.
00:11 comwt left
masak I've only fallen on my bike three times this winter. all three quite benign. 00:12
considering that the rest of Sweden is basically dumbstruck by the cold and snow, I consider that a success :)
jnthn Is it an unusually cold winter in Sweden this year?
masak yes, but not by a great lot. 00:13
jnthn oh huzzah deferal works again.
> class Pub { method bar() { say "beer!" } }
> class Bar is Pub { method bar() { print "Mmmmm..."; nextsame() } }
> Bar.new.bar
Mmmmm...beer!
snarkyboojum sounds like you need tire chains for a bike wheel!
masak jnthn++
00:13 Chillance left
jnthn well, sort of. 00:13
masak jnthn: that reminds me. a question fell out of our last discussion on inheritance and multis.
jnthn masak: Poor question. Did it land softly? 00:14
masak jnthn: how does a method call the same method(s) in its superclasses?
jnthn: we'll see if it lands softly :)
00:14 TimToady sets mode: +vv buubot dalek, TimToady sets mode: +v ilogger2, TimToady sets mode: +vvv lisppaste3 p6eval phenny
jnthn Only the ones in its immediate superclasses? 00:15
In general you use deferal
masak yeah. like super() in Java.
but 'nextsame()' will defer to methods in the same class too.
jnthn Yeah, true
masak I don't want that.
jnthn I think there's maybe a SUPER pseudo-package.
masak ok. 00:16
TimToady what about sister classes?
masak TimToady: I'm thinking of the case where Child.foo() calls Parent.foo().
lue (time-travelling debug name): Debugging A Load of Erroneous Kode :D
TimToady that's where nextsame is designed to Work Right
(sister classes) 00:17
jnthn S12 mentions SUPER
But doesn't define how it works in a multiple inheritance situation.
TimToady that's because it doesn't
jnthn :-)
Guess it's easy to implement then. :-) 00:18
snarkyboojum masak: well, you'll have to chuck tote(ish) up on github so I can take a look :)
jnthn masak: You maybe can convince .WALK to give you the methods you want too.
masak snarkyboojum: I'll get back to you. need to de-hardcode it a bit for that. 00:19
snarkyboojum masak: ah k
masak snarkyboojum: and whatever comes up will be very temporary. :)
jnthn: oh, cool.
lue masak: Debugging Overlooked Code (Time OverRated)
masak lue: your suggestions are much appreciated :) 00:20
jnthn masak: Then >>. to dispatch to the lot of 'em if order matters to you not.
masak it doth not, since this is a hypothetical case. :P 00:21
jnthn .WALK(:name<foo>, :include(any(Thingy.^parents(:local)))) or some such
masak whoa :) 00:22
lue will come up with more Dr. Who related debugger names later
snarkyboojum can I/how do I, dump the AST that rakudo is constructing internally? I remember watching a vid of jnthn demonstrating how to do it, but can't find that vid
jnthn Didn't put WALK back into master yet.
snarkyboojum is that stuff accessbile?
jnthn snarkyboojum: --target=past
snarkyboojum jnthn: ah! thanks :)
jnthn snarkyboojum: There's also --target=parse and --target=pir
snarkyboojum jnthn: sweet - thanks muchly 00:23
masak but I believe it only works when class definitions are not involved. or something like that.
well, --target=pir will work always.
but not --target=parse. :/
lue time traveling debugger: travelling to the past'd be easy enough, but what about to the future?
masak don't remember about --target=past. it probably works.
00:24 xabbu42 left
arlinius there's --target=post, too 00:25
snarkyboojum booshka! --target=past certainly spits out a tonne of stuff :)
arlinius post spits out even more :)
lue snarkyboojum: you certainly are british (use of tonne) :D 00:26
jnthn --target=post is thankfully not very useful though :-)
snarkyboojum lue: bit of a mongrel really :)

snarkyboojum masak: see ya, nice to chat :) 00:27
lue aw! I got to go in the past to talk to masak!
Check the irclog for a few hours ago. If you see __rnddim__, then you ought to be really creeped out. 00:28

pugssvn r29830 | lwall++ | [S12] note how lastcall allows nextsame control of nested dispatchers
00:37 pmurias left
arlinius so, this debugger can make it so a bug never existed? 00:38
jnthn TimToady: hmm.
lue ask masak (who's not here). He came up with it. 00:39
00:39 quietfanatic left
jnthn TimToady: Well, nextsame goes to the next best multis in the same class. 00:39
TimToady: And only then up the inheritance hierarchy
So we get that bit right.
lastcall blows the two though. 00:40
Since we aren't really doing nested dispatchers, it essentially splices the multi dispathcer's candidates into a (lazily formed) list.
TimToady well, those are two different dispatches in my head, but the first lastcall would have to just advance past the multis if you've artifically flattenened them into one dispatch
jnthn Yeah
We've a bunch of caching in to try and keep that lot cheap for common cases. :-) 00:41
(Rakudo has the hilarious situation that multi-dispatch is >10% faster than single dispatch... :-/)
Anyway, yeah, can likely get lastcall to do something like that. 00:42
Not going to do that tonight though. :-)
TimToady I guess the nested dispatcher view is hinted at in S12:1176 and following 00:43
though not terribly explicit
jnthn Well 00:44
TimToady would be nice to have lastcall working the same everywhere though....
jnthn I actually *do* have us calling another dispatcher in a sense.
It's just that it's giving us back all the possibilities.
TimToady and the word "tie-breaking" tends to make it read flatly instead of nested
jnthn Rather than us continually re-entering into it.
TimToady but I do think that these calls need to be able to distinguish which level they mean 00:45
00:45 yinyin joined
jnthn (I considered both...then did the one I figured I was likely to come out of with a sliver of sanity remaining. :-)) 00:45
Oh, it's not a problem for us to know whether we're deferring through multis spliced in or inheritance. 00:46
TimToady I'd think the nested one would be more sane, in the just-looping-over-a-simple-list sense
not a problem for you, a problem for the user though, perhaps
jnthn Or at least, it's not hard for me to make it so we can know.
Hmm, yeah. 00:47
TimToady we should probably make some way to name our dispatcher levels
(as conjectured)
we also need to be careful that a wrapped routine doesn't hane to know that fact 00:48
*have
jnthn Yes, we may well have some tricksy issues there.
Wrapping a routine that does nextsame...how do the candidate lists play together, etc. 00:49
That's potentially nasty to handle.
TimToady perhaps that dispatcher is invisible by default, outside a wrapper itself
jnthn I did see your "should be same mechanism" and make that so. 00:50
I didn't manage to write a .wrap implementation I felt was beautiful yet though.
lue wishes not entrude on such an enthralling conversation... too late 00:51
TimToady I'll have to think about that some more in my copious free neurons
lue: note that my $x = 1,2,3 is misparsed by rakudo 00:52
jnthn oh noes, we don't have item assignment parsing right yet. :-(
TimToady rakudo: my $x = 1,2,3; say $x.WHAT

TimToady we've tried very hard to make p6 differentiable from p5, so maybe it works the other way too 04:15
pmichaud and I wonder if the error messages will be a little less "friendly" :-)
zpmorgan differentiable == distinguishable? 04:16
TimToady yes
to differentiate is to "tell apart"
or to treat different things differently
"differentiate the sheep from the goats" 04:17
distinguish is mostly a mental act, differentiate usually has more pragmatic results
you can also differentiate yourself from your competitors 04:19

JimmyZ ng was already master
ewilhelm: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/maste...amodel.pod 07:28
ewilhelm thanks 07:29
sounds like a fair bit of that is leading the spec. Are other implementations also working-out the details of metamodel? 07:30
JimmyZ I dont't think so 07:36
What follows is the current way this works in Rakudo. Parts of it may one day become spec, other bits likely never will 07:37
spinclad iirc mildew has some metawork based on KnowHow's (like ClassHOW etc), and jnthn and ruoso have compared notes.
TimToady I think we originally invented knowhows for smop 07:38
much of the metamodel was originally invented for Moose, actually 07:39
and was about to get into pugs, when that project crashed 07:40
JimmyZ I don't like the name of Mu. ;) 07:41
ewilhelm it's not much harder to search for than Object, really :-D 07:42
TimToady "object" does not sound very undef-ish
spinclad in fact, first prototyped for pugs, then ported to p5 as Moose 07:43
(to my hazy recall)
TimToady mine too
ewilhelm is that basically Class::MOP, or also Moose? 07:44
spinclad both, i think, but first Class::MOP then Moose on top of it 07:45

takadonet you guys are quick :)
masak spacial implants.
reading through the exigeses, where Damian keeps saying "look -- it's a little different, but kinda mostly the same all the way" actually causes me to have a little more sympathy for people who nowadays say "it's like it's not even Perl anymore". 12:48
(whether it's still Perl or not is still a matter of sophistry, of course. just saying I see more clearly that Perl 6 used to be closer to Perl 5 than it is nowadays.) 12:49

m-locks just a sec ago some people ripped me a new one on #perl because they keep insisting that they are two separate languages 12:55
masak yeah, they tend to do that over there. 12:56
m-locks i guess they might have a point, but dismissing perl6 completely because of lack of motivation of learning a BETTER language seems lame to me
;P
masak .oO( worse-is-better, Peter Gabriel ) 12:57
all I'm saying is I'm not going to lean to hard on the superiority of Perl 6 over Perl 5 while the latter is the one with CPAN and thousands of modules, stability, speed, community, etc.
m-locks well i guess it's a matter of evolution, adapting the technology and stuff 12:58
like hd-dvd vs. blueray
masak I'm with mst++ on that one. we have reasons to be proud, but it's earlier than we sometimes make light of.
m-locks well yes, it would pay off for some people to start writing modules with perl6 like crazy to make people see that it's usable and doable and nice and pretty 12:59
and also, writing that perl6 for complete idiots
masak yeah. people should write modules.
also, it would be nice to focus more on Perl 5/Perl 6 integration, just as diakopter pointed out a couple months ago. 13:00
m-locks i was thinking of trying to write some neural network experiments
i'm rather a scientist-type than a programmer 13:01
takadonet whistle innocent
I will start writing module for Perl 6 soon
github.com/cjfields/bioperl6 13:02
m-locks how about doing fast hacking with perl5toperl6 compiler and using those modules
could transfer some functionality
masak easier said than done.
m-locks although if we'd like to see some real OO paradigms being used, it's mostly completely rewriting stuff 13:03
masak also, I don't think it's reasonable to expect Perl 5 users to port all their code, even if it's automatic.
m-locks aye
masak basically, Perl 6 is in an underdog position. what's most pissed of (some of) the Perl 5 community members is our attitude of superiority -- in the sense that we find it 'obvious' that people will want to switch over to Perl 6, than Perl 6 is a better language with better foundations and so on. 13:05

13:07 ignacio_ joined
m-locks i agree, better not expect anything and just do some stuff 13:07
and get larger communities to go with you
to do some stuff
jnthn The problem is perhaps more that even if we can comfortably claim Perl 6 as a language is superior, we've way behind on having anything to compare on the implementation front. 13:08
Su-Shee the porting of code isn't really the issue. many people would do that, if the environment is so much better.
masak nod.
killer apps matter. development tools matter. 13:09
pmurias CPAN matters
masak indeed.
Su-Shee exactly. there are many great programming languages which people abondon their projects from because of lack of "the environment". see reddit's switch.
masak give me a Rakudo-capable Perl 6 implementation with a fully functional CPAN bridge, and we're golden.
Su-Shee and I'm personally not even really a fan of heavy module usage. 13:10
masak coming soon: grammar trace tool, time-traveling debugger.

colomon masak: It seems to me a lot of the reason there is "attitude of superiority" in the Perl 6 camp is precisely that most of the people in that camp are former (or current!) Perl 5 users that are investing time / energy in Perl 6 because in their opinion it is so much better than Perl 5 that it is worth putting up with slow, buggy implementations and a still-shifting spec. 13:16
masak colomon: yeah. I'm not one of those, but I see that this might be the motivation of some. 13:17
colomon: there's a big danger of attracting idealists. 13:18
colomon It's not an idealism thing, it's just practical.
masak well, claiming that Perl 6 is superior is a statement based in idealism :) 13:19
colomon If I thought Perl 5 were even close to Perl 6 in capabilities, why would I be spending time mucking about with Perl 6 when Perl 5 has an awesome implementation?
masak where 'capabilities' means 'potential capabilities'. 13:20
pmurias ruoso: hi
ruoso hi pmurias 13:21
mathw I always see it as Perl 6 being a superior language, but unfortunately lacking a suitably complete and polished implementation. 13:22
colomon Well, a lot of the capabilities are there now, just not up to their full potential. But yes, if they weren't to some extent potential, Rakudo would be "done".
mathw It's impossible to recommend Perl 6 to anybody who's doing more than dabbling, because there isn't a compiler or interpreter which can run it in a useful manner except under very particular, rather unusual circumstances
masak mathw: implementation, tooling, module ecosystem, community. 13:23
mathw yes
all those things are required for an awesome language to get going
masak yes.
mathw The honest answer to most questions of 'should I learn Perl 6' at this point is 'no'
I really look forward to the day when it's 'yes' 13:24
And yes, I should do more to help that day come around 13:27
mathw hugs everyone who helps
colomon That's kind of my point here. If you think that -- in terms of potential -- Perl 6 is no better than Perl 5, what would be the point of trying to make Perl 6 work? Perl 6 is 80% potential, Perl 5 is 110% actual.
mathw Mmm, Perl 5 is awesome, but dragging a lot of historical crud behind it 13:28
It's worth making a clean break and rebooting the concept. Like the new Battlestar Galactica, only on a much smaller budget.
(one episode's budget... wouldn't that be nice to push into Perl 6 development) 13:29
colomon is now fantasizing about how much language development could be afforded on the cost of one episode of a TV show...
mathw yes it does make me think that society's got some priorities wrong 13:31
maybe rakudo needs to have advert breaks in it 13:32
colomon Sponsored awesome error messages.
buu Yes, but I bet more people enjoy a single episode of tv 13:33
Su-Shee the problem is that in the meanwhile, companies decide against perl day by day and choose java or php instead. which is rather sad.
buu Ageism affects many things in the computer world.
mathw * sigh * Don't get me started on the prevalence of PHP and Java... 13:35
jnthn is doing some Java bits today 13:37
Mostly because there's some Good Stuff out there already written in Java.
Well written is a whole other matter though. :-/

colomon There we go, that's what I was after.
PerlJam interesting obfuscation for space padding :) 15:26
colomon There seem to be a good number of tests that assume you'll get the same behavior for array elements that have been undefined as you do for those never defined, ie the stringification is ''
pmichaud colomon: does this just come down to "Mu should stringify differently?" 15:28
colomon pmichaud: That'
PerlJam that's what I think
colomon That's what I'm trying to figure out.
I'm also open to "The tests are wrong", or "undefine is wrong". 15:29
pmichaud undefine looks like it's doing the right thing to me -- it's setting the element to Mu (although with recent spec change, should be Any)
jnthn pmichaud: pong
pmichaud jnthn: Su-Shee answered for me :) 15:30
colomon Really, Any instead of Mu?
jnthn Yay
pmichaud yes, recent spec change is that variable declarations default to Any
rakudo: my $a; say $a.WHAT;
masak what if it's a typed array? then &undefine can't set the element to Any, but must set it to the declared element type.
p6eval rakudo e79112: OUTPUT«Mu()␤»
pmichaud should now be Any()
masak submits rakuodbug
m-locks heh
pmichaud masak: correct, undefine is supposed to set the element to its declared element type
masak pmichaud: what if the declared element type is a subtype? :) 15:31
masak loves being difficult
pmichaud then likely its underlying nominal type for the subtype
masak ok.
jnthn (underlying nominal type) correct
PerlJam rakudo: my Int @a = 1,2,3,4; undefine @a[1]; say ~@a
p6eval rakudo e79112: OUTPUT«1 Mu() 3 4␤» 15:32
jnthn subset Foo of Int where ...; my Foo $x; say $x.WHAT; # Int
pmichaud we don't do typed arrays yet.
colomon so should ~Any() also be '' ?
masak but the type object of the nominal type won't satisfy the subtype in the general case.
so then you have elements in the array which don't belong to the subtype.
pmichaud masak: it doesnt have to -- undefined values are always allowed in containers
masak pmichaud: oh, ok.
pmichaud: can I declare them not to be allowed?
pmichaud masak: I'm not aware of a way to do that
masak with :D or something.
jnthn subset Foo of Any where .defined 15:33
Or some such
pmichaud jnthn: but containers still allow undefined values
jnthn True
OK, then no. :-)
15:34 am0c joined
colomon Heh: Nominal type check failed for parameter '$x'; expected Any but got Mu instead 15:34
PerlJam Isn't there a "default" property or something? my @a is default(42) = 1,2,3,4; undefine @a[1]; say ~@a; # "14234"
masak ok, so an Array typed to contain elements of type A must contain elements of tpye A... except if their .defined property is False, then the elements can be of any type? 15:35
pmichaud masak: that's my current understanding, yes.
jnthn PerlJam: Don't remember seeing that.
masak so that's like a security hole in the type system, then.
jnthn masak: Only for containers. 15:36
masak right.
jnthn masak: In signatures, undefs ain't gonna slip through.
That also means that:
my (Int $x) = Mu; # OK
my (Int $x) := Mu; # dies
Since the latter has signature binding semantics.
colomon rakudo: my @a = 1..3; undefine @a[1]; undefine @a[1] 15:37
p6eval rakudo e79112: OUTPUT«Nominal type check failed for parameter '$x'; expected Any but got Mu instead␤current instr.: 'undefine' pc 223850 (src/gen/core.pir:2337)␤»
jnthn So you do have a way to enforce it if you really want to has an exploshun.
colomon: Maybe tweak the signature of undefine.
colomon yup, looking for it now.
jnthn oh, wait
pmichaud undefine likely needs a Mu parameter
jnthn Oh, yes
That probably will d it.
*do
pmichaud from S02:
colomon our sub undefine(\$x) {
my $undefined;
$x = $undefined;
}
jnthn Change to Mu \$x 15:38
pmichaud Variables with non-native types can always contain I<undefined> values,
such as C<Any>, C<Whatever> and C<Failure> objects.
colomon apparently my $undefined still does the wrong thing in Rakudo?
pmichaud colomon: the switch from Mu->Any is very recent 15:39

colomon I'm not quite sure the best approach for dealing with that? 15:57
pmichaud I think the issue may already be addressed in the spec -- we just need to remember/find what it is
jnthn method Str($self where .notdef: ) { '' } # iirc
I didn't implement Mu:U yet, but I guess that'd do it in the future too. 15:58
pmichaud what's the point of the .notdef ?
jnthn pmichaud: Because we don't want any old object that doesn't say how it can stringify to stringify to '' 15:59
Only undefineds.
pmichaud jnthn: but how does that resolve the Mu case?
or are you saying that all protoobjects should stringify to '' ?
jnthn I'm guessing so
Since we'd like my $x; $x ~= 'lol'; to work
So I guess Any needs to also.
pmichaud that's different 16:00

colomon I think for sure it's a bad idea to have ~Mu eq '' but ~Rat eq 'Rat()'
pmichaud protoobjects can't simultaneously stringify to a type name and to '' :-)
jnthn pmichaud: Right, that's what I suddenly realized. :-)
colomon (I don't really care what the answer is one way or another, mind you.
jnthn pmichaud: At which point, it seens that it's up to operators that want to treat undefs specially to do so. 16:05
colomon jnthn: even that doesn't help here, does it?
jnthn pmichaud: I was thinking more of the Mu ~ 'abc' case. 16:06
er
colomon: ^^
:-)
pmichaud istr that at one point it was speculated that protoobjects stringify to empty string, but print as the typename
however, it's pretty explicit in S12: 16:07
WHAT the type object of the type, .Str returns MyClass()
jnthn Yeah
I think that has to stay the same. 16:08
pmichaud this feels like a pm.txt question, then.

from S09: "This synopsis summarizes the non-existent Apocalypse 9, which discussed in detail the design of Perl 6 data structures. It was primarily a discussion of how the existing features of Perl 6 combine to make it easier for the PDL folks to write numeric Perl." 16:10

PerlJam pmichaud: what does s/// need to be implemented? I was thinking that it was waiting on some deeper changes, but you've put it at ** and so I'm not so sure now :) 16:40
colomon subst doesn't work fully yet either... 16:42
pmichaud we need subst to work, and we need to put it in the grammar. I think that's about it at the moment.
at least for basic s///
masak \o/
pmichaud for the larger "assign to s//", that's probably 3 or 4 stars
I'd have to review the spec again. it's possible it should be more stars. 16:43
masak it's a special form, which should actually make it slightly easier.
pmichaud looking 16:44
actually, it may be fairly tricky now
masak why?
pmichaud my $a = 'abc'; my $b = $a; $a ~~ s/b/x/; say $b;
masak the assignment to $b makes a copy? 16:45
pmichaud we don't exactly have "make a copy" semantics in place anymore
masak o.O
pmichaud strings are supposedly immutable
masak I'd expect such semantics out of binding, but not assignment.
compare assignment of arrays. 16:46
pmichaud well, how does one do s/// on an immutable string?
masak one doesn't, I suppose.
one chucks in another string in its place.
PerlJam so, s/// depends on implementation of Buf, so maybe s/// needs another *
masak why would s/// depend on implementation of Buf?! 16:47
pmichaud if "one chucks another string in its place", that means s/// is an operation on a container, not on a string.
PerlJam Isn't Buf our "mutable string" ?
pmichaud I suppose that can work, but.... hmmmm
masak aye.
PerlJam: well yes, but not just.
pmichaud S05 says 16:50
Any scalar assignment operator may be used; the substitution macro
knows how to turn
$target ~~ s:g[pattern] op= expr
into something like:
$target.subst(rx[pattern], { $() op expr }, :g)
---
I think that it must be $target .= subst(...) instead
TimToady well, that's something like :) 16:52

TimToady engineers like to hedge, and are even more delighted when one of their hedges "works" 16:53

TimToady someone's gotta do the trimming occasionally 16:54
masak Perl 6: hedging our way into the future.
TimToady and gardeners aren' cheap these days
PerlJam pmichaud: in any case, maybe break s/// into two items? "** basic s///" and "*** full s/// including s[\d+] = 42" or something ?

pmichaud masak: could you give me a bit more detail about your talk -- what sorts of things do you plan to focus on or cover? 17:01
(I'm trying to decide how/if a Rakudo "hacker orientation" talk is useful and where it should go) 17:02
TimToady maybe s should (internally) turn anything immutable into a Cat of refs into the orignal string and new chunks interspersed 17:03
which still looks like the original string from the container's viewpoint
pmichaud ...when stringified 17:04
TimToady then we only reflatten the Cat lazily when we decide it's needed
pmichaud well, that perhaps argues that .subst also returns a Cat 17:05
colomon which is probably a very straightforward way to implement it -- if we have Cat. :) 17:06
pmichaud although I have a cat nature, I'm not familiar with Cats yet in Perl 6 :-|
PerlJam does rakudo have cats?
I guess not
TimToady I have on in a box somewhere around here...

pmichaud: Is this for the hackathon on the Sunday?
pmichaud jnthn: okay, will keep it in mind. I'm going to update the wiki page shortly.
yes, for the hackathon on Sunday
jnthn OK
pmichaud I'm thinking we may have some presentation time available on Saturday, so might as well use it to help orient people towards being productive on Sunday 17:15

pmichaud either that or .kv shouldn't be returning a List
jnthn No, it's just hitting the default in Mu. 18:48
pmichaud I suspect it should be a Parcel
anyway, Pair.kv is just ($!key, $!value);
colomon rakudo: say ('a' => 42).kv.batch(2).perl

pmichaud but no "return"
jnthn well, yeah, makes no difference semantically though. 18:49
But yes, no need to write the return in the setting; it's kidna suboptimal.
colomon Pair is Enum, perhaps?
method kv() {
return list($.key, $.value);

That's in Enum.pm
pmichaud don't need list()
don't need 'return'
colomon or return. :)

spectesting now.
colomon Except that it will break when we switch from Mu to Any....
pmichaud colomon: the correct answer now is Any()
colomon (The tests, I mean.) 20:44
TimToady unless declared Mu
pmichaud the tests should test for Any(), yes :-)
correct, unless declared Mu.
colomon So rakudo and the tests are both wrong! \o/
20:44 cjk101010 left
jnthn mberends: will do after nom :-) 20:44
pmichaud: yay!
TimToady btw, ~ is really .Stringy, and + is really .Numeric 20:46
pmichaud oops, you're right -- thanks for the correction/reminder :-) 20:47
20:48 payload left
pmichaud so most of the places we've been doing .Str should really be .Stringy ? 20:48
TimToady if you want undef -> '' semantics, yes
pmichaud well, I mean even for things like Seq and Array and the like
and Rat 20:49
currently I think we have Rat.Str as the code for stringifying a Rat. I'm guessing that should be Rat.Stringy instead?
TimToady the most important place for .Str is in print/say
since .Str doesn't even autothread 20:50
so you can stringify junctions
everything else is somewhat negotiable, but the desire to autothread will push these towards .Stringy
pmichaud Stringy autothreads, while Str doesn't? 20:51
TimToady correc
t
that is, Junctions provide a .Str method to the user
but not a .Stringy one
20:51 ignacio_ left
pmichaud so what happens with ~(3|4) then? 20:51
it autothreads to produce "3"|"4" ? 20:52
TimToady you get ~3 | ~4
pmichaud okay.
lisppaste3 bkeeler_ pasted "Grrrrrr" at paste.lisp.org/display/95618
bkeeler_ Can someone take a look at that paste and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Specfically the $/ assigning part
pmichaud so, what's the code path for ~@array, then?
it goes from prefix:<~>(@array) to become @array.Stringy ? 20:53
TimToady calls Array.Stringy
pmichaud that in turn forwards to Array.Str, or is Array.Stringy the base method?
TimToady and that can do whatever we prefer internally, but it would be nice not to duplicate [~] 20:54
well, it wouldn't dup anyway
since ~ puts spaces
pmichaud doesn't Array.Stringy put spaces also?
TimToady yes
but for each element, we have to decide what to call 20:55
and .Str seems okay for that to me
~« being available for distributing .Stringy
pmichaud okay, I'm totally confused on the relationship between .Str and .Stringy. I understand that they produce different things in junctions, but for other types I don't really know if we should be focusing on .Str or .Stringy 20:56
bkeeler_: what are you trying to implement?
bkeeler_ Trying to get the match object stuck into $/. It's the last thing holding me up here 20:57
TimToady .Str is low-level, force me to a specific type for impending output
.Stringy is make it okay to do subsequent string ops on me
and more abstract
20:57 snarkyboojum joined
TimToady and ~ is abstract 20:57
pmichaud and Array.Stringy is abstract, but it still chooses to force .Str on its elements?
TimToady as is the implied ~ in leg and + in <=> 20:58
dalek kudo/master: 795e94c | (Solomon Foster)++ | t/spectest.data:
Turn on S32-array/keys_values.t.
kudo/master: 72a95fc | (Solomon Foster)++ | src/core/Any-list.pm:
Quick lazy implementations of Any.keys and Any.values, plus matching protos.
TimToady it could be argued either way
pmichaud okay
TimToady in a sense ~Array is 'outputting' to a string
not making the bits available for subsequent string processing individually
pmichaud I understand the meaning behind .Str and .Stringy now; we'll see where we can take it in implementation
jnthn back 20:59
20:59 crazed left
TimToady likely it's one of those decisions that's not going to be completely right either way 20:59
bkeeler_ pmichaud: though I saw in the latest p6 phone minutes that you were also planning on getting grammars done, so I guess I might be duplicating effort :/
pmichaud bkeeler_: you almost certainly don't want to be using find_caller_lex -- I think it's a bit out of date
bkeeler_ Ahh, good to know 21:00
pmichaud also, I don't think that it's Grammar.parse's responsibility to be setting $/
I think that normally comes from ~~
bkeeler_ What's the proper way then?
pmichaud although I guess it doesn't come from ~~ in the case of matching against a grammar. 21:01
TimToady ~~ seems too high
pmichaud looking
TimToady it's whatever takes a regex and applies it to a string
pmichaud that would likely be Regex.match, I guess?
TimToady or Regex.ACCEPTS 21:02
bkeeler_ Hmm, well that simplifies things then. I can just ditch Grammar.parse and let it fall through to Regex::Cursor.parse
21:03 crazed joined
pmichaud bkeeler_: in the case of a grammar, it's already a cursor 21:03
bkeeler_ Indeed
pmichaud but yes, it's Regex.ACCEPTS that is setting $/
(in current implementation)
currently it's doing a direct bind -- that probably needs to become an assignment.
bkeeler_ pmichaud: I guess the tests need updating then. They assume $/ is set after calling .parse on a grammar
21:04 synth left
pmichaud I'm open for a spec clarification there. :-) 21:04
jnthn mberends: Looks sane to me.
pmichaud but I'm used to seeing: my $parse = MyGrammar.parse(...) 21:05
which would imply to me that $/ shouldn't be set.
bkeeler_ I'm fine with that
TimToady maybe there's some kind of .updatematch that can slip into the pipeline and set $/
takes a Match (or Cursor?) en passant and sets $/
so while .subst() might not set $/, .subst().updatematch might 21:06
21:06 ignacio_ joined
TimToady well, give or take a few levels of caller :/ 21:06
21:06 crazed left
pmichaud in which case I'd just prefer to see $/ = .subst 21:06
TimToady or CALLER::<$/> or ..
pmichaud right
TimToady I think it's defined a rebinding though 21:07
pmichaud anyway, Regex.ACCEPTS seems right-ish for the moment
and I think that Grammar.parse should not be setting $/ by default
mberends jnthn: thanks, although you'll have to show me why it needs to be that way next week ;)
TimToady since $/ refers to the outer $/ until rebound
jnthn :-)
pmichaud yes, rebind, not assignment 21:08
jnthn mberends: You could also have done $P2 = '&circumfix:<[ ]>'($P1), but it all works out the same in the end, I expect.
TimToady see S05:816
pmichaud jnthn/mberends: in UNIT_START, any particular reason you know of that args has to be :slurpy ? 21:10
mberends jnthn: fine, may try that some time. starting to look at a tied %*ENV next
pmichaud could perhaps save an RPA
colomon subst has to set $/ internally, no? (with no effect, one would hope, on the calling level's $/)
mberends pmichaud: nope, it was already there
pmichaud mberends: yes, I'm wondering if I put it that way just for convenience.
anyway, as-is is fine now
mberends :) 21:11
pmichaud I suspect the direct call to &circumfix:<[ ]> might be a bit simpler
in particular, the Array that gets built might need transform_to_p6opaue
*to_p6opaque
jnthn Yeah, there is that...
pmichaud (which &circumfix:<[ ]> would handle for you)
mberends that step seemed to be redundant since the args were probably all strings... 21:12
pmichaud jnthn: I've been wondering if we should force a transform_to_p6opaque in Mu's init_pmc vtable....
jnthn pmichaud: I didn't want to do that for performance reasons, that's all. 21:13
pmichaud well, why do we do it now?
(you're avoiding the extra sub invocation, fine)
jnthn Do it now to get the correct dispatcher.
pmichaud maybe we should make a p6opaque_new dynop, then.
jnthn wfm

pmichaud oh, I'm sure it's not.
Currently we aren't cloning closures when something does $a = { ... }
jnthn Ah. 21:16
That'd do it.
pmichaud because we changed assignment to change references instead of make copies.
It may be as simple as defining Block.item or some such

pugssvn r29850 | jnthn++ | [t/spec] Update/correct a test file.

jnthn aartist-: Also it's Configure script knows how to get and build Parrot for you. 21:24
PerlJam deja vu
jnthn *its
bkeeler_ pmichaud: I tried to take the past block and make it use the metamodel to compose the methods, but one problem is that it emits two methods. I can't intercept the !PREFIX__ one, so it ends up being emitted as a regular pir method 21:25
not sure what to do about that
pmichaud that's okay, actually -- it's strictly internal.
you don't need to wrap it in a Code object of any sort.
bkeeler_ OK, good to know 21:26
pugssvn r29851 | jnthn++ | [t/spec] Oops, fudge fail in last patch.
pmichaud in fact, it's probably better if the metamodel doesn't know anything about it
jnthn So long as it doesn't expect it to be a method on the class itself. 21:27
bkeeler_ I wasn't sure where to stick '&make', so I put it in control.pir. That also uses find_caller_lex, so I guess I need to change that to whatever the new way is
pmichaud ...&make ?
oh, that
it might go in src/cheats somewhere
dalek kudo/master: 6373c3b | jonathan++ | t/spectest.data:
Another test file we can run again.
 21:28
pmichaud control.pir definitely doesn't feel right for that, though. 21:29
bkeeler_ Agreed. I hemmed and hawed about it for a few minutes and could't make up my mind
pmichaud generally I put such global functions either in cheats, or into the builtins/class file that is most closely associated
bkeeler_ So I just stuck it somewhere temporary
pmichaud so perhaps &make goes in src/builtins/grammar.pir or src/builtins/regex.pir
anyway, whenver not sure where to put something, src/cheats is always a safe bet 21:30
(because then we have to revisit it to figure out where it should really go.)
bkeeler_ Grammar.pir sounds reasonable though
pmichaud for example, I have &infix:<,> in Parcel.pir, because it constructs parcels 21:32
and &circumfix:<[ ]> is in Array.pir, because it constructs arrays
so &make perhaps goes into Match.pir, since it modifies match objects
that would seem to make the most sense.
bkeeler_ Done
21:33 pmurias left
bkeeler_ What's the new alternative to find_caller_lex then? 21:33
pmichaud find_dynamic_lex is the correct one
bkeeler_: why is your patch modifying ClassHOW ?
that seems.... wrongish
bkeeler_ Because it's not properly polymophic the way it is
GrammarHOW ends up making a new ClassHOW at compose time 21:34
pmichaud oh, that could be.
I had forgotten about GrammarHOW objects
(I still tend to think of grammars as always being simple classes.)
bkeeler_ All GrammarHOW does is make it derive from Grammar by default 21:35
jnthn *nod*
Yes, I can believe it has that issue.
21:37 synth joined
pmichaud anyway, I was somewhat hoping that we could get the regex doe to share the method_def code 21:37
s/doe/code/
bkeeler_ Seems reasonable 21:38
pmichaud also, we definitely want to have a regex_def rule, to match STD.pm
instead of just regex_declarator

bkeeler_ OK, I'll take a look at STD and see how it does thing 21:39

bkeeler_ I started by making the most minimal changes to Grammar.pm that I could get away with, heh 21:40
pmichaud Grammar.pm ?
ouch ouch ouch 21:41
who added src/builtins/Grammar.pir ?
pmichaud hopes it wasn't him
bkeeler_ Grammar.pir was there already
pmichaud right, I mean historically
bkeeler_ Grammar.pir could actually be rewritten in perl, it doesn't do anything special 21:42
pmichaud Grammar.pir is loading PGE :-(
bkeeler_ It was, I commented that out
pmichaud which means we're getting some significant additional footprint and startup cost :-( 21:43
21:43 gbarr joined, gbarr left
jnthn pmichaud: Heh, at least the fix is easy. 21:43
bkeeler_ Though if Grammar.pir moves to core/Grammar.pm we need another home for &make, heh 21:44
pmichaud make can still go into Grammar.pm :-)
looks like jnthn added Grammar.pir :-) :-)
that definitely needs to disappear
I'm not sure Grammar.pir can become .pm -- we still need it to inherit from somewhere other than Any 21:45
jnthn :-( :-(
Sorry.
I think I put it back when I was madly meta-model hacking.
bkeeler_ class Grammar is Regex::Cursor { method parsefile($f) {...} } ?
I'll give it a try and see if it works 21:46
21:50 Trashlord left
pmichaud that won't work 21:50
Regex::Cursor is outside of our metamodel
it's a striclty internal classname.
*strictly
bkeeler_ Hmmm
pmichaud that's why it needs to be done from PIR. 21:51
bkeeler_ So where does it go, if not Grammar.pir?
pmichaud Grammar.pir is fine -- it's just that the current Grammar.pir has issues :)
bkeeler_ It has fewer issues after my patch I hope
21:52 computerquip left
bkeeler_ Hmm, we fail some tests because you can't say <Foo::bar> in a regex 21:55

supernovus PerlJam: Thanks. So far my fun side project to port my several-year-old non-Moose Perl 5 based CMS to Perl 6 has been interesting, including writing a data definition language that kinda resembles YAML... 22:41
PerlJam supernovus: have you written an article or anything about the experience?
supernovus: if not, would you consider it? 22:42
supernovus: if you look at docs/ROADMAP in the rakudo repo, there's an entry that says "attention-grabbing examples" yours might be one of those. 22:43
:-)
supernovus PerlJam: Not yet. I plan to do so shortly though. I will also expand my original article about my port of RSpec and Cucumber to Perl 6.
PerlJam supernovus++
supernovus: you get exponential karma if that causes any ruby wonks to start hacking Perl 6 ;) 22:44
colomon "Tests=24896" -- we're getting there.... 22:45
jnthn colomon: Let's do 25,000 today!
colomon That was my goal -- one of many goals for today yet unfinished. :) 22:46
jnthn Damm, can we pretend that my today doesn't end in 15 mins?
TimToady let's see, that'll make 49896 total...
jnthn TimToady: :-P
colomon jnthn: Today doesn't end until you go to sleep. That's one of the rules. :)
TimToady nap &
jnthn \o/
PerlJam uhoh TimToady's day just ended. 22:47
jnthn, colomon: also, you've got several hours yet where it's still Feb 25 somewhere on the planet. 22:48
jnthn I somehow thought getting calling_sets.t to pass again was gonna be easy. :-/
OH! 22:50
Duh.
supernovus PerlJam: I'm sure I can write up some good articles. The two "big" projects I've worked on so far have been VERY different experiences. PSpec+Pickle were based on the PSpec+Cucumber documentation and examples alone, whereas my website engine is a port of my own existing project (so I am a lot more familar with the existing codebase, and know what I want to keep, and what I want to do differently...)
jnthn .+ and .* were fine, the test had a multi taking a Num, which was now a Rat. 22:51

bkeeler_ And it started not passing when grammars starting working
pmichaud jnthn: what do you say to the notion that 'empty type property' means 'Any' ?
ggoebel Interesting that NaN is a Num
dalek kudo/master: 740ce02 | (Solomon Foster)++ | t/spectest.data:
Turn on S32-array/delete.t.
ggoebel colomon++
jnthn pmichaud: 'empty type property'? 23:01
oh, sorry, I get it now
pmichaud: Sounds sane.
supernovus Well, just rebuild rakudo master, and tried it with my CMS. Alas, it still apparently has issues with "use": "load_bytecode" couldn't find file 'Webtoo.pir'
jnthn supernovus: Yes, Rakudo master's use still has issues. Sorry. 23:02
There's always alpha for now.
pmichaud jnthn: that seems easier than writing the code to attach 'Any' to all of the untyped variables.
jnthn pmichaud: aye
pmichaud supernovus: I may be able to bump up the priority a bit on 'use'
jnthn pmichaud: Costs us some extra checks of course.
mberends supernovus: is that file in the current directory? there are no paths yet.
pmichaud it's not that difficult
colomon lives_ok { for %hash.pairs -> $pair {
$pair.value += 100;
} }, 'aliases returned by %hash.pairs should be rw (1)';
Is that still right?
pmichaud afaik, yes. 23:03

mberends supernovus: try copying the module files to the current dir and ignore directories. That's how master can read in Test.pir right now. 23:06
masak jnthn: it's like saying 'hej, but I've been saying "hej" to you for the past twelve months...'
jnthn masak: You gotta remember it's all new to me. I'm still at the point where rulltrappa is a hilarious word.
;-)
masak jnthn: the whole concept of rulltrappa is pretty hilarious.
can't be bothered to walk upstairs? invent a flight of stairs which moves! 23:07
jnthn: has someone told you about 'rulltårta' yet?
jnthn masak: No, what's that one? 23:08
supernovus mberends: Okay, I'll try a few combinations. I do have namespaces going on, my Webtoo.pm loads roles in the Webtoo:: namespace, and there are plugins in a Websight:: namespace which load a role stored in Websight.pm (convoluted, yes...) so I'm not sure how well it will work without directories, but I'll give it a try and report back.
jnthn tårta is some kinda cake, no?
mberends masak: is that a Swiss Roll that went North?
masak jnthn: sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rulltårta
mberends: no idea.
jnthn nice
Yes, we'd call it Swiss Role in English.

it's less fun that way, and more of a chore.
