[Coke] (trouble building rakudo on parrot) trac.parrot.org/parrot/ticket/1884 01:27
I had a typo so I wasn't actually realcleaning parrot. (I don't think I should have to realclean to get this to work, though.) ... but now that I've done a realclean and blown away the cached value, I should be able to build rakudo again. So if it comes up again - "realclean" is the answer. :P 01:31

wayland76 Hi all. 04:05
I have a perl6 question.
dukeleto I would like to make some Google Code-In translation tasks for Perl 6. What documents about Perl 6 need to be translated into other languages?
wayland76 Once a grammar is applied to a string, and a Match object is obtained, is it possible to take the Match object and the grammar, and reverse the parse to obtain the original string? 04:06
colomon wayland76: In Rakudo, the original string is stored in the match object. I'm not sure if that's spec, and I'm not sure how to get back to it... 04:07
PerlJam wayland76: sounds like you want to walk the parse tree, concatenating the stringy versions of $/ as you go along. 04:08
colomon rakudo: my $m = "This is a test" ~~ /is/; say $m.perl
p6eval rakudo : OUTPUT«Match.new(␤ from => 2,␤ orig => "This is a test",␤ to => 4,␤)␤»
PerlJam wayland76: but the top-level $/ will be the entire string matched anyway, so ...
colomon rakudo: my $m = "This is a test" ~~ /is/; say $m.orig
p6eval rakudo : OUTPUT«This is a test␤»
wayland76 My reason for wondering was that I figured it would be nice to parse a file, modify the match object, and then say "write this back to the file" 04:10
04:11 satyavvd joined
wayland76 Would it make sense to have a function on the match object that says "walk my children and, concatenate the stringy versions of $/ "? 04:11

I sincerely believe much of the web is designed wrongly in an absolute sense.
PerlJam I want a UI that caters to my needs and desires so that I don't have to think about things that are irrelevant to whatever task I'm trying to accomplish.
moritz_ I'm active in a german web forum, and in the "homepage" section people often ask how to always show the same URL in the title bar, regardless of which subpage you're currently visiting
masak Gmail is one of the few Ajax apps that got the back button right. 15:04
moritz_ I never understood why people want so tight control over their website, at the cost of the visitor
that's like wanting to forbid references to individual chapters or pages of a book 15:05
(the last one wanted it for security reasons.... somebody hacked his site, and he thought he could prevent that hiding the URL. 'nough said).

arnsholt I've gotten as far as Ricardus Paulus
But Astley is giving me trouble, for obvious reasons =) 15:51
masak does the name mean anything? 15:54
you could translate by meaning.
15:55 wtw left
arnsholt Apparently it's a compund noun, meaning "east (of the) meadow" 15:56
arnsholt has an idea 15:57
masak that sounds workable. 15:58
arnsholt I'll probably go with Ricardus Paulus Prati Orientis (Richard Paul of the East Meadow) 15:59

masak nice! 16:05
arnsholt Yeah, I think that'll work 16:08

jnthn Is looking into infix:<,> and nested ones of those maybe enough?
TimToady maybe snaps, as in "snapshot", or "snap the umbilical cord"
I would guess that comma is special, yes 19:15

jnthn snappy commie
TimToady immute that list! 19:17
diakopter In Soviet Russia, commas delimit you!
TimToady comma snapper
jnthn heh :) 19:19
jnthn figures it shouldn't be too hard to implement. Efficiently, otoh...
TimToady thing is, if we want to make ($x Z, $y) = equivalent to ($x, $y) = we will need to make Z pass along the lvalueness and not snap the list 19:20
