cbk1090 tadzik, Thank you for your advise the other night regarding modules. I looked at the Acme::Meow module and figured it out. My example wasn't working due to the missing :: thingy I just had one word for the name of the class. 00:20

p6eval rakudo 1a468d: OUTPUT«$!dot␤»
shinobicl___ if i declared the attribute with a dot, why is shown as "$!dot" ? 00:38
geekosaur because $!foo is the actual attribute 00:39
$.foo is an accessor for the attribute 00:40
(think of it as perl automatically defining an accessor method for you)
sorear timotimo: ultimately the problem is with the lifting. 00:41
00:42 benabik joined
sorear Maybe's structure as an applicative functor allows "stupid" operations like + to be lifted, but helps not at all with other stuff 00:42
timotimo has not done enough haskell to know how to understand that :\

colomon continued fractions experiments now have handled basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division! 02:34
02:39 leprevost joined
sorear colomon: are you doing finite or infinite CFs? 02:48
colomon finite so far
was just looking at HAKMEM to see if they had a decent CF to test
*infinite CF
sqrt 2 = 0; 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2... ? 02:49
ah, 1; 2 2 2 2 2 02:50
duh
sorear e is also pretty cool 02:53
colomon ah, yes 02:54
sorear one of the few non-contrived trancedental numbers with a "nice" representation as a normal CF
I'm a little bit concerned about the focus on normality though 02:55
colomon eh? 02:56
sorear because discontinuous functions of real numbers are non-computable in all the real number models I've seen
if you insist that the first term be equal to the floor of the number, then you're requiring discontinuity in the normalizer
colomon ah
this is the sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) problem, more or less? 02:57
oooo, should add a first test for that
sorear I haven't heard of that problem under that name
colomon well, I just made up the name 02:58
sorear but in general you can construct \sum_{i = 0}^\inf (turing machine M halts in i steps ? 1 : 0) * 2^{-i}
colomon but the issue (as I understand it) is that you can never actually figure out the first digit of sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) 02:59
the floor, I mean.
sorear in any real number system that supports infinite sums, finding the first digit of a number is equivalent to the halting problem
colomon I've actually been pondering work arounds
sorear the standard workaround is to allow a small amount of inaccuracy
you print the number to N digits, allowing the printed value to differ from the real value by up to 10^-N 03:00
so maybe 1.99999999, maybe 2.00000000
if you allow multivalueness, the undecidability goes away
colomon each step makes the possible interval get smaller, eh? hmm. 03:01
benabik Multivalueness? 03:02
colomon btw, sqrt(2) + 1/2 works to ten values
sorear benabik: fuzzy_positive_negative(0, 1e-9) is allowed to return 1 or -1 03:03
benabik: and it does NOT respect logical identity on the reals

06:02 mdupont joined
moritz most p6 regex engines are optimized for the grammar use case, not for regexes 06:02
sorear exactly
generally speaking I find that basic niecza features (hashes, arithmetic) tend to peak at about 5-20x slower than perl5 after an optimization focus 06:03
06:03 havenn joined
sorear arrays are slower than you'd think because of laziness and perl 6's difficult-to-implement-well autoviv model 06:04
moritz do you do compile time multi dispatch and such fun yet?
sorear junctions, otoh, really suprised me with how fast they are
no
I kind of reneged on the optimization thing; niecza puts a lot of effort on being fast in the worst case 06:06
my least favorite features of Perl 6 are the ones that have to pay for whether you use them or not, like gather/take

felher What would i use instead of NULL in Perl6, if i have a typed variable (my Str $x)? 11:08
$x = Str?
(to tell it is undefined) 11:09
masak take a step back. what problem are you trying to solve? 11:10
felher Tell that some container doesn't point to a value. Like NULL in C/C++, null in Java. 11:11
masak take more steps back. what programming task was it that led you to the thought of undefined/NULL/null values? 11:12
felher Some kind of linked list, to mark its end. (And i didn't want to create a special end-class/object) 11:13
masak ah.
then yes, a type object like Str will do just fine.
felher \o/ :) 11:14
masak: thnx :)
masak 'undef' in Perl 5 corresponds to type objects in Perl 6.
one for each type.
if you're in a situation where you don't know how the container is typed, and you want to assign that container's type object to it, you can assign nil. 11:17

as long as there is something in the @Here_doc stack, there can be several in the same line 12:17
pmurias they are parsed
but something wrong happens when they are filled in 12:18
masak felher: Nil is not just "empty list", but "there isn't anything here". it's an undefined ().
fglock maybe the newline is being missed for some reason

fglock: they placeholder gets filled in but the ast seems to contain it's copy 12:20
flussence masak: and if I understand right, Mu means "nothing here yet" and Any means "this space intentionally left blank"? :)
felher masak: I see. So Nil and void really express the same thing. :) Awesome :)
pmurias fglock: with 3 heredocs only the first one is affected
benabik If you're used to functional programming, P6's Nil is what most FP calls Uni. 12:21
*Unit
fglock I think I see a fencepost error in the double_quote section, maybe $m->{to} advanced 1 extra char 12:23

felher: there are always irreconcilable differences in nuance across languages. but yes, sorta. 12:25
flussence: also, Mu, to me, means "outside-of-normal-type-hierarchy trickery going on! probably something involving junctions. here be dragons." 12:26

masak TimToady: why does sink return () and not Nil? 13:09

masak: so returning Nil would make sinking a sink die, or something
pmurias fglock: i'm fixing that 13:10
13:10 simcop2387 joined
masak I agree with the need to simplify/unify failure types, but I'm not sold on TimToady++'s first attempt at it. 13:11
short story, angels don't sing when I read about the proposed changes. 13:12
moritz feels much the same 13:14
13:14 shinobicl joined
masak they're big enough to be uprooting/destructive to various things, but I don't see the immediate benefit they would give, other than making Perl 6 typology... stranger and less mainstream. 13:18
benabik Failure is already outside the "mainstream" of language design by design. I know of no other language that lets you handle exceptions as normal data, but then throws it if you try to use it. 13:20
pmurias benabik: it feels like the extensions of letting you handle the error value as normal data and the segfaulting it you try to ;) 13:22
benabik pmurias: That's not a bad description of it, although it's somewhat "nicer" than a segfault. 13:23
masak benabik: I do not buy the argument that because Perl 6 is 'already outside the "mainstream"', that it should amble further outside it for no particular good reason.
benabik masak: The feature in question is already outside the norms, so putting it outside the "normal" of Any makes sense. 13:24
masak aye. that part makes some sense to me. 13:25
but TimToady's proposal is on a grander scale than that.
here it is, for reference: gist.github.com/1828667
benabik Hm. I would disagree that Failure and Nil are the same thing. Nil is no information, Failure is "something bad happened" 13:26
13:26 skids joined
moritz Nil is more like fail('Nothing to see here, move along') 13:27
benabik I suppose. Then () would be how you spell unit again, I suppose. 13:28
masak there are some things in there that I buy outright. making fail/succeed a semantically matched pair makes me happy. I don't know if wiring things up so that fail still works in subs and succeed still works in whens would be trivial.
pmurias benabik: Perl6 is supposed to be much "nicer" than C
masak and then there's the question of what proceed does in a sub :)
benabik pmurias: Everything is supposed to be nicer than C. The only thing less nice than C is assembler. ;-) 13:29
shinobicl hi... another newbie question... What is "the gist"... and what is the .gist method for?
moritz shinobicl: &say calls .gist. .gist is supposed to return a human-readable summary of an object 13:30
masak benabik: not true. I discovered a language yesterday called ABAP, which is decidedly not nicer than C. it looks like someone wanted really dearly to reinvent COBOL.
shinobicl: "gist" in English means "a summary". github has a paste service (tied to git repositories) called gist.github.com
benabik masak: Okay, most things are supposed to be nicer than C. Some things try to be as nice as C. And some things just fail. 13:31
shinobicl oh, thanks!.. I thought it was an acronym.
benabik masak: C occupies the "one step above assembler" level in my head. :-)
masak according to dictionary.com: [C18: from Anglo-French, as in cest action gist en this action consists in, literally: lies in, from Old French gésir to lie, from Latin jacēre, from jacere to throw] 13:32

benabik Hm. OKness feels like an attempt to promote the concept of boolean into the type system. 13:50
geekosaur re $.foo, it's not a macro but it has some vaguely macro-like qualities. (really more meta than macro I suppose though) 13:52
moritz what macro-like qualities?
masak it's a form that the parser recognizes and serializes into some target code. nothing more. 13:53
moritz well, that's true for every piece of Perl 6 code :-)
masak yes! 13:54
if what's macro-like about it is "it's sugar for something else", then a lot of things that don't even remotely involve macros are macro-like.
moritz well, and then we'd need a new word for macros :-)
fglock pmurias: I've simplified the code, but I've kept your hack - I can't find the problem 13:58
geekosaur that is sort of where I was trying tog owith "more meta than macro" --- but yes, I would in fact claim a lot of P6 is sugar, which to my mind is macro nature. macros the language feature is just exposing the mechanisms thereof to the user in a hopefully hygienic fashion 14:00
pmurias fglock: Object::Dies claims that the arguments list was accessed by the precedence parser 14:01
moritz geekosaur: then let me tell you that most people around here have a quite different understanding of the nature of macros 14:04
geekosaur: we mostly consider constructs macro-ish that delay evaluating their arguments, for example
like infix:<&&>, which only evaluates the RHS if the LHS is True
fglock pmurias: it is probably trying to optimize - maybe trying to join 2 "list<.>" together 14:07
not a big problem, the workaround works fine 14:08

shinobicl: is your underlying problem that you want to create a hash of arbitrary depth?
shinobicl moritz: yes 18:53
moritz shinobicl: ah. That's easier to discuss in isolation. Let me come up with an example
18:54 fgomez joined
shinobicl i have a "schedule" definition like this: pastebin.ca/2131168 18:54

japhb masak, what in your mind would be needed to turn my suggested stretch goal into something you'd be satisfied with? I wanted it general enough that once agreement on the principle can be reached, people can simultaneously work towards the goal, and begin defining the benchmark suite that would help put it on solid ground.

benabik You gave it a parcel, it gave one back. Not too surprising to me.
pmichaud benabik: Parcels are normally more invisible than that.
traditionally it was rare to find one without having to do something special to get it 20:10
s/are normally/were normally/
I'm building an older version of nom to see if it's been that way for a while 20:11
TimToady these days functions try to return values that are non-commital on the issue of flattening, and array/hash subscripts are just a funny kind of function 20:12
pmichaud the model I had been working from treated every element of a hash/array as an item, though.
so if that's no longer the case, then I have to do a major rethink of my model 20:13
TimToady it's an item as in an object, but not an item as in $ prevents flattening
the whole business of binding to a \term is going the same direction
pmichaud right, so that's a change from what we had last summer then 20:14
TimToady it used to be \$term, but then join ';', $term did something unexpected
so now it's term, to not commit to non-flattening like $ does
and recently we're trying to make self behave the same way
like any function that returns a list to be interpolated
pmichaud okay, this may make some serious changes to nom's container and flattening model then 20:15
moritz /o\ another list refactor :/
pmichaud very likely.
20:15 mdupont joined
pmichaud depending on the degree to which people have been updating things in my absence. 20:16
20:16 libertyprime left
pmichaud (updating == to match these newer interpretations) 20:16
nom's internal model has been that arrays and hashes are basically aggregations of scalar (non-flattening) containers 20:17
if that's not really the case, then the flattening logic has to be re-thunk 20:18
20:18 fglock left
PerlJam It's kind of still true 20:19
pmichaud PerlJam: not if @a[0] can flatten.
TimToady I seem to recall saying more than a year ago that flattening has to be an attribute of arguments, not of the objects themselves
pmichaud over time, you've said a lot of things regarding flattening :) :) :) 20:20
20:20 libertyprime joined
PerlJam pmichaud: well, arrays and hashes are aggregations of non-commital containers (wrt flattening) 20:20
pmichaud PerlJam: that's significantly different from what nom has been implementing 20:21
PerlJam pmichaud: so ... did you ever finish that grant? ;)
pmichaud and this isn't new to nom -- the notion that arrays are aggregates of scalars goes all the way back to the original rakudo star release
(in 2010)
masak ah, #perl6. 20:24
so I heard you like Rakudo releases. 20:25
pmichaud PerlJam: no, I didn't finish the grant yet -- and it looks like it's a good thing I didn't. :)
not also that nom doesn't treat flattening as an attribute of the objects -- it's an attribute of containers 20:28
not the objects the containers contain
thus $a is non-flattening, @a is flattening, even if they're bound to the same object
masak this conforms to my mental model. 20:29
pmichaud s/not also/note also/
masak is it about to change? :/
pmichaud may have already changed and we've been thinking of it wrong, if I'm understanding TimToady++ correctly
masak I mean, about to change in either or both of my two favorite implementations. 20:30
pmichaud well, rakudo wants to conform to the spec :)
20:30 noteventime joined
pmichaud so if this is a mismatch, then rakudo will need to change 20:30
masak huh, then I'll need a new mental rule for when things flatten. 20:31
pmichaud well, yeah, that's what I'm trying to develop for myself as well
masak the current is "when they have a @ sigil or when you cast with @() or when you do .list"
pmichaud apparently @a[0] and %h{'a'} should flatten as well 20:33
TimToady none of which are true when you way return 1,2,3 from a function
pmichaud return 1,2,3 isn't an issue because there aren't any containers involved
(in my mental model)
TimToady it's a parcel
masak o moricie, you even wrote a release announcement. 20:34
apparently, the name of this month's release is "TODO".
pmichaud s/containers/scalar containers/ # then
TimToady I don't expect it to be fixed this month
masak I've been having many good beers with TODO.pm... :)
pmichaud TimToady: sure, but I still have to get in my head what the correct model is, especially for diving back into list-ish sorts of things 20:35
masak moritz: what's the closest thing to Erlangen.pm ?
dang, we already had Erlangen back in 2010 :) 20:36
pmichaud as moritz intimated above -- this is one of those things that tends to spread throughout a lot of the list code
and in this case, into the binder code as well it would seem. 20:37
masak anyone have a better suggestion than Argentina.pm ? :P 20:38
tadzik how about Warsaw.pm? :)
pmichaud have we had many south-american names yet? 20:39
if not, Argentina.pm (or something in that area) works very much for me
20:40 MayDaniel left
masak tadzik: Warsaw.pm sounds neat. what'd they do that's better than refreshing one of our core devs? :) 20:40

pmichaud core dev refreshment is very important, though. 20:41
masak pmichaud: no names from the South American continent in Rakudo releases to date.
pmichaud imagine jnthn++'s productivity level if beer were not available in sufficient quantities
masak tadzik: come back when Warsaw.pm has held a Perl 6 hackathon or something. sheesh. :P

pmichaud No.
PerlJam masak++ 20:44
masak PerlJam: one of these months, we'll run out of .pm groups :)
we'll run out of good reasons long before, of course.
20:44 pernatiy joined
pmichaud anyway, I can explore to find out what happens when arrays/hashes aren't aggregations of scalar (non-flattening) containers, but I suspect we'll have some real surprises. 20:45
PerlJam I know it's kind of boring to just have "release #57" or whatever, but why exactly are we naming and numbering releases? Is anyone going talk about the "ThousandOaks.pm release"? Probably only the person that did the release and briefly some people from ThousandOaks.pm. 20:46
Perhaps we should just give releases numbers only, then for _significant_ releases, give them a name.
pmichaud the numbering makes it easier to know how many there have been
I'd prefer not to have to debate about what constitutes a "significant" release. (more) 20:47
I'd rather relax the "contributes to Perl 6" restriction and start picking .pm names we like
masak PerlJam: you may have missed us using the code names, but it actually happens quite a lot. with some releases more than others.
pmichaud indeed, we do refer to "Beijing" from time to time :) 20:48
masak yeah, I was gonna say.
PerlJam pmichaud: you wouldn't have to debate about significance. It would be an emergent property :)
pmichaud some products have themed names for every release (e.g., stars, birds, felines, etc.). Our theme just happens to be .pm groups
masak that's probably the most referred-to release code name to date.
pmichaud PerlJam: see "stable release" for a counter example :) 20:49
and significance is often only observable in retrospect :)
masak pmichaud: I suggest when we run out of virtuous reasons to pick .pm groups, we instead pick them out of spite :>
pmichaud masak: that works for me also
masak mwhaha
PerlJam Which pm group does Damian frequent or is closest to?
pmichaud I'd be happy to see Austin.pm and/or DFW.pm listed someday. 20:50
DFW.pm does have regular (montly) discussions of Perl 6, even if there are many contributors besides myself
*monthly
*aren't 20:51
PerlJam pmichaud: wait ... does that mean you talk to DFW.pm about perl 6 every month? :)
pmichaud well, "DFW.pm" is kind of an umbrella sort of thing at the moment (more)
because the DFW metroplex is so geographically large, it's hard to have regular "DFW.pm meetings" 20:52
dalek p: fd67256 | masak++ | VERSION:

pmichaud instead, there's a sub-group of us that meet every second Tuesday in one of the suburb cities -- usually there's 6-12 attendees at each meeting

pmichaud we've encouraged other DFW suburb areas to form regular meetings and advertise them on the DFW.pm list... but so far nobody has done that that I know of.
japhb I'd love to see a Sonoma.pm release (that's my local PM), but the "group has done something significant for Perl 6" has always been a blocker to me suggesting it -- since we do talk about Perl 6 most times, but the group seems more in the general mood to discuss and inform than to hackathon. 20:54

masak quick, what's the probability that at least one of the three implementations will get the right order? :)
tadzik 1/2
masak how'd you arrive at that? 21:55
tadzik 3*2*1 permutations, 3 chances to hit
masak it's 1/6 that a given implementation will get it. so it's 5/6 that it won't get it. that all three won't get it is (5/6)**3
thus, that at least one will get it right is 1-(5/6)**3
p6: say 1-(5/6)**3 21:56
tadzik oh, that's the thing I keep forgetting about :)

masak yeah, you can't just add probabilities.
tadzik right
masak that way, you'll hit 1.0 pretty fast :P
and that's just silly.
pmichaud well, you *can* add probabilities, but you'll probably be wrong for doing so. :)
masak you can only really add probabilities that refer to the same event falling out in different ways. 21:57
but these refer to three different events.
justdroppingby is this really a perl6 channel? :)
masak *lol* 21:58
tadzik haha
sometimes I don't believe it either
masak: quick, Przypadki!
masak quick, everyone put on their Perl 6 masks!
tadzik: I'm all out of przypadki... :) 21:59
justdroppingby what is przypadki? googling..
masak justdroppingby: if you have an on-topic Perl 6 question/comment, don't let our frivolities stop you.
justdroppingby: it's "grammatical cases" in Polish. that was the off-topic topic the other day.
man, this box is fast. 22:00
justdroppingby and probability is on-topic. :)
tadzik everything is, as long as it's not disturbing the Perl 6 discussion ongoing 22:01
pmichaud afk for me for a while -- bbl
masak justdroppingby: hey, we were talking probability in the context of Perl 6 implementations giving the right answer :P
justdroppingby haha 22:02
what is easiest way to start with perl6?
22:02 pjcj left
masak just sits and watches in awe as `TEST_JOBS=8 time make stresstest` chews through the spectest suite 22:03
tadzik justdroppingby: perl6.org/documentation
justdroppingby considering I know *very little* perl5
thank you. 22:04
masak justdroppingby: type 'r: say "OH HAI"' here on the channel -- voila! you've started with Perl 6!
justdroppingby: also, why should we invest time in helping you? you're just gonna leave soon anyway. :P
justdroppingby masak: what is r?
22:05 pernatiy left
justdroppingby sorry for asking silly questions 22:05
masak short for "rakudo".
the compiler I'm in the process of doing a monthly release for right now.
22:05 thou left
masak you have r/rakudo, n/niecza, p/pugs, and for all three, p6/perl6. 22:06
justdroppingby I am new to irc as well.
ok
masak the individual that replies when you do this, p6eval, is a bot. 22:07
r: say "hi!"
p6eval rakudo 5dda9a: OUTPUT«hi!␤»
masak the funny NL character means "newline"
justdroppingby r: say "Hello Perl6 Folks!"
p6eval rakudo 5dda9a: OUTPUT«Hello Perl6 Folks!␤»
tadzik hello!
masak o/ 22:08
hah! burned through the stresstest suite in 3:43.53!
man, that feels good!
justdroppingby n: say " Hi tadzik"

22:09 havenn joined
masak so, we have three failures in t/spec/S19-command-line/dash-e.t 22:09
anyone able to reproduce this on HEAD?
moritz: is this a known one?
havenn: hi! welcome back! 22:10
justdroppingby: we have other nice bots that do other useful things for us. 22:11
dalek++ reports commits on the channel.
havenn masak: hi! how goes perl6 development?
justdroppingby commits to perl6 repository?
masak phenny++ helps us with Unicode, delivering messages to people who are AFK or logged out, and translating language.
justdroppingby: we have dozens of repositories. none is called perl6 :) 22:12
tadzik hugme: hug me
hugme hugs tadzik
tadzik that one is the best
hugme: hug justdroppingby
hugme hugs justdroppingby
masak havenn: just about to release the best Rakudo monthly, ever.
justdroppingby I meant related to perl6
masak right.
hugme hugs people, and also gives them commit bits so they can contribute.
hugme masak:
masak and she's noisy sometimes :) 22:13
Imma go ahaed and fudge t/spec/S19-command-line/dash-e.t for now. but I don't like that it fails and no-one noticed. 22:14
still interested in an independent reproduce from someone.
flussence
.oO( hugme should have an `$output ||= ')';` line added... )
justdroppingby ok. its late for me. I will download rakudo soon and start playing with it. once I know how to :) 22:15

masak ooh, another nice p6l email thread. 22:31
started by the same (Daniel Carrera)++
I'm now at the stage where I'm re-running the test suites from a fresh unpack of the tarball. 22:39
getting a failure in the last 'make test' file, t/02-embed/01-load.t
should I be concerned?
22:39 whiteknight joined
masak running the stresstest suite to see if there is more fallout. if there isn't I'm inclined to ignore the one failure in t/02-embed/01-load.t 22:39
22:41 fgomez left 22:42 fgomez joined
masak all stresstests successful. full steam ahead. 22:42
github tarball uploaded; Rakudo wikipedia page updated; p6c email sent. 22:44
tadzik Steady as she goes, Lt. Sulu
masak monthly release releng mode completed.
you can now make awesome commits as usual ;)
22:45 pjcj joined
felher builds newest rakudo to try to reproduce masaks broken test. 22:46
masak pjcj: hi! long time no see.
colomon masak++
masak so, who's doing the May release? :) 22:49
22:51 shinobicl_ joined
felher masak: is a to execute './perl6 t/spec/S19-command-line/dash-e.t' sufficient? If so, it doesn't fail here. 22:53
gives me three oks
s/a//
22:54 pmurias left
masak felher: that should be sufficient, yes. 22:54
maybe my setup is causing the error, then.
felher++ # thanks for checking 22:55
felher: what about t/02-embed/01-load.t ? does it pass?
felher masak: not sure. './perl6 t/02-embed/01-load.t' doesn't give me a okay. But it doesn't say it failed neither. It just gives me '1..1' 22:56
pjcj masak: I'm usually idling here and you only notice me when my net connection comes back up ;-) 22:57
felher if thats enough for passnig, that it passes :)
masak pjcj: ah. you've been idling since October 2005, just so you know. :)
pjcj heh 22:58
masak felher: it should say one OK, too :/
22:58 NamelessTee left
masak $ ./perl6 -e 'print q[\c[LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DOT ABOVE]]' 22:58
===SORRY!===
Confused
at -e:1
:/
22:58 jnthn joined
masak this is why dash-e.t fails here. 22:58
could be something ICU-related. I do have ICU installed.
felher oO? This fails here, too. 22:59
i'm getting the same error as you get
But the test works just fine
23:04 mj41 left, alester left, shinobicl_ left
masak how can the test work just fine when it's all about the execution not failing? 23:04
are you running the same executable both times?
felher masak: yes 23:06
masak: maybe thats the catch:
masak: \c[LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DOT ABOVE] gets substitutet _before_ its given to an argument to perl -e 23:07
so its executing "perl -e 'print q[<some-weird-symbol>]' 23:08
23:09 shinobicl_ joined
masak what would substitute it before? bash? 23:09
that doesn't make any sense.
felher masak: the problem ist that the bash doesn't substitute. But the perl-test does. 23:10
masak oh! you're right, of course.
yes, the substitution happens in the test file.
felher :) 23:11
The first time i was here, in this channel, my perl6 wisdom was cleary zero. But i tell you, it has doubled since then! :)
masak felher++ 23:12
yes, now I got it to run.
23:12 havenn left 23:15 noteventime left
felher Hm, i think that should be: "cleary was zero", shouldn't it? 23:16
masak both sound fine to me. 23:17
if you discount the s/cleary/clearly/ typo ;)
felher Oh, yeah, right :) 23:18
masak heads to bed
'night, #perl6
felher o/ sleep well :)
