mauke how can I access variables that may not exist? in perl5 terms, eval('$FOO') // 'default' 00:42
00:43 libertyprime joined
tadzik that ought to work in PErl 6 as well 00:45
oh, wait
why do you need that? 00:46
mauke I want to output the name/version of the implementation I'm running under
pmichaud_ rakudo doesn't implement it yet, but MY::<$a> should work someday.
tadzik that comes from $*PERL
nr: say $*PERL.perl
p6eval niecza v18-6-ge52d6c3: OUTPUT«Any␤»
..rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«{"name" => "rakudo", "compiler" => {"name" => "rakudo", "ver" => "2012.05-239-gb12854a", "release-number" => "", "build-date" => "2012-06-11T21:09:36Z", "codename" => ""}}␤»
mauke yes 00:47
pmichaud_ oh, Rakudo has MY
mauke so how can I make that work in case $*PERL doesn't exist?
pmichaud_ gist.github.com/2913717 # looking up nonexistent variables 00:48
00:48 pmichaud_ is now known as pmichaud
mauke try { " ($?PUGS_VERSION)" } // "" used to work a long time ago 00:49
pmichaud well, one can always look up a dynamic variable like $*PERL
mauke huh? 00:50
tadzik mauke: under what circumstances do you expect $*PERL to not exist? 00:51
mauke under what circumstances do you expect $?PUGS_VERSION to not exist?
pmichaud I expect $?PUGS_VERSION to not exist if running on something other than Pugs, I suppose.
but $*PERL is defined by the Perl 6 spec, so it should exist. (more) 00:52
Even if it doesn't exist, it's a dynamic variable, which means that looking it up doesn't throw an exception (although trying to use the value it returns might).
mauke is $*PERL<compiler><ver> part of the spec?
pmichaud the contents of $*PERL aren't specced yet, no.
but notice how niecza doesn't crash when requesting $*PERL -- it returns an undef 00:53
even though it doesn't implement $*PERL yet (apparently)
that's true for any dynamic variable (those with the '*' twigil). Thus:
mauke I'm trying things in the rakudo repl
pmichaud nr: my $a = $*NO_SUCH_VAR; say "still alive";
p6eval niecza v18-6-ge52d6c3: OUTPUT«Potential difficulties:␤ $a is declared but not used at /tmp/oLYUxlQfN9 line 1:␤------> my ⏏$a = $*NO_SUCH_VAR; say "still alive";␤␤still alive␤»
..rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«still alive␤»
mauke it throws for undefined variables but that may be the p part of the repl
pmichaud yes, that's the p part of the repl, printing the non-existent value throws the exception 00:54
> my $x = $*NO_SUCH_VAR; 1
1
mauke rakudo: try { "$*WTF" } // 42 00:55
p6eval rakudo b12854: ( no output )
mauke I get an exception here
pmichaud rakudo: say $*NOTHING // 42;
p6eval rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«42␤»
pmichaud you don't need a "try"
mauke but "$*WTF" throws
pmichaud only if it's used 00:56
in this case you're using it to build a string
mauke yes
pmichaud thus it throws
mauke yes
so why doesn't try {} catch it?
pmichaud it did catch it
the result was the empty string
mauke rakudo: try { "$*WTF" } ~ "." 00:57
p6eval rakudo b12854: ( no output )
pmichaud okay, maybe not then.
I don't know why you're trying to catch the exception.
best to just not throw it in the first place.
mauke > try { "$*WTF" } ~ "asdf"
Dynamic variable $*WTF not foundasdf
pmichaud: how can I avoid throwing it? 00:58
pmichaud test it for undef before using it
as above: my $a = $*XXX // 42; say $a
mauke assume I want to access $*PERL<compiler><ver>, where all components may or may not exist
pmichaud nr: say $*PERL.defined ?? $*PERL<compiler><ver> !! "42" 00:59
p6eval niecza v18-6-ge52d6c3: OUTPUT«42␤»
..rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«2012.05-239-gb12854a␤»

..rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«2012.05-239-gb12854a␤»
pmichaud ah, that works also.
01:00 adu joined
mauke rakudo: say $*PERL<compilr><ver> 01:00
p6eval rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«Any()␤»
pmichaud note the difference between "$*FOO" and $*FOO. The first attempts to stringify $*FOO, which throws the exception.
mauke what does try return? 01:01
pmichaud the result of executing the block. I don't recall what it returns if an exception is thrown and caught.
adu r: say $*PERL.keys 01:02
p6eval rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«name compiler␤»
adu r: say $*PERL<name>
p6eval rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«rakudo␤»
adu n: say $*PERL<name>
p6eval niecza v18-6-ge52d6c3: OUTPUT«Any()␤»
mauke is 'Any()' perl6's way of saying "no values"? 01:03
sorear Any() is the stringification of the basic undefined value
pmichaud Any is a type object. It's the most basic type object for most objects (i.e., things that aren't Junctions)
sorear in niecza, $*DOES_NOT_EXIST returns Any 01:04
note that Perl 6 has two stringifications
say stringification (.gist) tries to be useful for debugging, print stringification (.Str) for data processing
n: my $x; say $x.gist; say $x.Str

sorear see, mauke, consistant
mauke good thing this isn't confusing at all
sorear you're right, Failure is extremely confusing 01:06
mauke what is 'quietly'?
sorear which is part of why I'm campaigning to get it removed from the spec
alas, TimToady_ is extremely attached to it
mauke
.oO( or bound to Failure )
 01:07
sorear there is no 'quietly'.
mauke it's mentioned in S04
pmichaud quietly is a statement form, like try
I don't think anyone implements it yet 01:08
sorear not everything which is mentioned in the synopses exists
mauke what should I read to find out what 'try' is supposed to return and what's actually implemented? 01:09
sorear 'try's return value is, I think, unspecified
so don't rely on it
use // insteadf
mauke instead of try? 01:10
01:10 scott_ joined
pmichaud yes, instead of try 01:11
01:11 scott_ is now known as Guest2448
pmichaud // checks definedness 01:11
mauke it doesn't seem like // catches exceptions
pmichaud so if $*SOMETHING returns an undef, the // will use the rhs instead
sorear r: say $*NONEXISTANT.perl
p6eval rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«Failure.new(exception => X::AdHoc.new(payload => "Dynamic variable \$*NONEXISTANT not found"))␤»
sorear mauke: $*FOO doesn't throw exceptions 01:12
mauke sorear: I'm not using $*FOO
pmichaud $*ANYTHING won't throw an exception unless you try to use its value
sorear mauke: what are you using?
mauke "$*FOO"
adu what do Perl6ites blog about?
sorear Why?
pmichaud mauke: why the quotes?
mauke pmichaud: to make it throw
pmichaud why are you making it throw?
I mean, why is that desirable? 01:13
tadzik adu: I blog mostly about my projects
(those Perl 6 related)
people frequently blog about compiler improvements, grant statuses, hackathons etc
mauke there are several issues
adu tadzik: so I could blog about automatic semicolons in Go and how they're hard to encode into Perl6 grammars?
sorear I don't think it's desirable at all
mauke one part is me trying to get something concrete done
another is me trying to understand how exactly exceptions work 01:14
pmichaud mauke: which would you like to tackle first?
sorear mauke: $*FOO in Rakudo returns a special value called a Failure
mauke the actual string I want is " ($*PERL<compiler><name> $*PERL<compiler><ver>)"
sorear: yes, I got that
sorear mauke: Failures have a .Str method that throws exceptions
tadzik adu: sure
mauke sorear: it's like an error value in Haskell
pmichaud rn: say "( {$*PERL<compiler><name> // 'unknown'} )" 01:15
sorear Once an exception is thrown, your options are extremely limited
p6eval niecza v18-6-ge52d6c3: OUTPUT«( unknown )␤»
..rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«( rakudo )␤»
mauke except detectable
sorear So try not to call .Str on anythting that might be a Failure
tadzik adu: but I'm definitely buying you a beer if you achieve that
pmichaud rn: say "( {$*PERL<compiler><name> // 'unknown'} {$*PERL<compiler><version> // 'unknown'} )"
p6eval niecza v18-6-ge52d6c3: OUTPUT«( unknown unknown )␤»
..rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«( rakudo unknown )␤»
sorear Use // to replace the Failure with a sane value first
pmichaud rn: say "( {$*PERL<compiler><name> // 'unknown'} {$*PERL<compiler><ver> // 'unknown'} )"
p6eval rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«( rakudo 2012.05-239-gb12854a )␤»
..niecza v18-6-ge52d6c3: OUTPUT«( unknown unknown )␤»
pmichaud mauke: like that ^^
mauke pmichaud: no, not like that
sorear Or use Niecza, which refuses to implement Failures until they are replaced with something more sane
mauke pmichaud: if any part is unknown, I want to use an empty string instead
adu tadzik: well, my current solution is: github.com/andydude/gosemi
tadzik: if I can parse it without that tool, then you can buy me a beer :D 01:16
sorear r: say $*NONEX<foo> // 'bar'
p6eval rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«bar␤»
tadzik adu: oh, I thought you plan to modify the Perl 6 grammar so one doesn't have to write semicolons :)
pmichaud mauke: you want the whole string to be empty if any part is unknown? 01:17
sorear rn: say $*NONEX<foo><bar> // 'unfound' # mauke
mauke pmichaud: yes
p6eval rakudo b12854, niecza v18-6-ge52d6c3: OUTPUT«unfound␤»
adu tadzik: oh, I never thought about that, but that would be very natural once I'm able to parse Go
pmichaud rn: say ($*PERL<compiler><name>.defined && $*PERL<compiler><ver>.defined) ?? "( $*PERL<compiler><name> $*PERL<compiler><ver> )" !! "";
p6eval rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«( rakudo 2012.05-239-gb12854a )␤»
..niecza v18-6-ge52d6c3: OUTPUT«␤»
adu tadzik: that would be totally beer-worthy 01:18
pmichaud mauke: like that, perhaps?
mauke pmichaud: too complicated
I don't want to repeat myself
that is, I don't want to check preconditions when I can just make the expression throw an exception and catch that 01:19
adu tadzik: if I were to do that, would it slowly become part of the synopses?
mauke except I can't catch exceptions, apparently
sorear mauke: you can catch exceptions
tadzik adu: I highly doubt it, but it could become a module that lexically modifies the Perl 6 grammar
sorear mauke: you just can't use the return value of try.
tadzik so you could use that in your modules and it wouldn't "leak out"
sorear r: my $res; try { die 2; CATCH { default { $res = 5 }; }; }; say $res # mauke 01:20
p6eval rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«5␤»
adu tadzik: what would it be called? Syntax::AutoSemi?
tadzik adu: however you'll name it :)
mauke sorear: that's sad
pmichaud nr: my $a = ''; try { $a = "( $*PERL<compiler><name> )"; }; say $a;

mauke that makes perlcabal.org/syn/Differences.html#...try_%7B%7D somewhat of a lie 01:21
tadzik maybe we'll have to reserve a namespace for such things. Either Syntax:: or Slang:: or something
sorear the perl 6 exception specification is an exercise in sadness and more importantly denial.
adu pmichaud: I think niecza doesn't support $*PERL
pmichaud I think niecza doesn't follow the spec there. It should've caught that exception.

..rakudo b12854: OUTPUT«␤»
sorear pmichaud: in niecza, $*PERL returns Any. What exception?
pmichaud oh, I was thinking that "Use of uninitialized value..." should be an exception of some sort. 01:22
sorear I just read the relevant part of the Go specification.
You can't use Perl 6 grammars for this. 01:23
It assumes you have a separate lexer.
adu sorear: any particular reason?
mauke oh well, raw.github.com/mauke/poly.poly/master/poly.poly has working perl6 code again
sorear Well, maybe you can, but it won't be in any 'obvious' way
adu sorear: see <automatic_semicolon> in pastebin.com/FcAiMAU2 01:24
sorear: I think that should work, but it isn't working
sorear: then again, the rest of the grammar doesn't work with explicit semicolons, so that's not the issue 01:25
sorear Your automatic_semicolon rule is wrong because it tries to parse backwards.
adu possibly
sorear: how is that "wrong"?
pmichaud sorear: whatever is producing the "Use of uninitialized value..." should've been caught by the try, I think. Although S04 does say that try handles fatal exceptions by ignoring them... I suppose there's an argument to be made that warnings aren't fatal exceptions.
and therefore try shouldn't catch warnings... but that would seem weird to me. 01:26
adu sorear: ultimately semi should be defined as ';' | <automatic_semicolon>
sorear adu: You need to incorporate insertion handling into the rules that parse stuff forward.
adu: Well, first off, you might be looking at something like break <EOL> <YOUAREHERE>more stuff 01:27
you need to parse backward, and then once you find the letters b r e a k, check to make sure that they would have been parsed that way to begin with 01:28
handling all the corner cases right is... intractible
I just remembered that Perl 6 actually has a somewhat similar but more restricted semicolon insertion rule: after a line-ending } token, a semicolon may be omitted 01:29
handled in <.curlycheck>
the important thing here is that it works by setting a flag in @*MEMOS at the time the } is parsed
it does *not* use <?after
pmichaud ...and it only assumes a semicolon if a statement could terminate at that spot. 01:30

masak I've been trying to find words to describe the vacation.
I've settled on "it went up to 11". 05:39
bonsaikitten masak: did that two years ago, it's quite fun to disconnect
masak beautiful scenery, excellent food, lots of exercise, and no shortage of general and specific happiness. 05:40

bonsaikitten fair enough. good choice :) 05:43
I'm having enough fun in Shanghai, but exploring the rest of China is definitely on my todo list
masak oh, didn't do 上海 this time around. 05:44

masak sorear: I... can order food. I can go down to reception, and say "my room card doesn't work, and I don't know why". I can follow most conversations having to do with food or hotels.
pmichaud looks like it's a problem with the « » angles
sorear masak: ookey you're way better than me 05:46
bonsaikitten I still haven't reached that level yet
adu pmichaud: I thought that < > and « » were implemented the same way
bonsaikitten but shanghai is too international to force me to learn
sorear can't even follow Japanese conversations 80% of the time
masak sorear: my weakest point is the tones. they're hard to get right for a non-native, even a careful one like me.
pmichaud adu: well.... so did I, which is why it's "interesting". :-)
bonsaikitten masak: and they differ a lot depending on region ... so whatever you learned is "wrong" for the other 80% of the country 05:47
masak bonsaikitten: not just the tones. what people usually refer to as "dialects" in China are more usefully thought of as different languages in the same-ish family. 05:49
bonsaikitten masak: yes, but even if they try to speak mandarin it's very different
"beijing pirate dialect" ;)

adu oh ok, that works 05:59
thanks pmichaud++
pmichaud sym<op> is a convenience, it's not required to parse 'op'
adu but it appears to be idiomatic 06:00
pmichaud yes, it's idiomatic
moritz btw I consider the module-trace branch to be ready for merging
more backtraces. masak++ will be sooo happy :-) 06:01
masak rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=113590
moritz: it's not really that I dislike backtraces. it's just that I'm really fond of brief descriptions of what's wrong.
pmichaud nqp gets the :sym«op» correct by manipulating the value coming back from <deflongname>. 06:02
rephrase: by manipulating the .ast value of $<deflongname>
masak I'm a terminal window junkie. if the text jumps up two lines, there's no mental disconnect. if the text jumps up two screens, I have to scroll to find my bearings again.
pmichaud oh, Rakudo does the same, but the Actions.pm line doesn't use it.
masak scrolling to find out what went wrong in a program is a crappy default.
adu pmichaud: YEY it works for now 06:03
pmichaud I think I can quickly fix Rakudo's regex declarator tomorrow. (Too late/too tired for me to reliably do it tonight.) 06:04

masak moritz: excellent.
moritz: about helping/motivation, I'll see what I can do.

moritz: i.e. release-early-release-often, and everyone can always see how complete the docs are. 06:18

masak: yes, that's part of my plan
masak moritz: ok. I'll review it when I have time.

felher This may be kind of obvious, but i'd like to make it explicit that .Int, .Rat and .Num fail (just like Real) if the Numeric isn't equivalent to a Real. Any objections? paste.lugons.org/show/2145/ 13:29
moritz no objection from me 13:30
though you could go even further and define an exception type with which it fails 13:31
13:32 skids joined, estrabd left
felher moritz: Yeah, good point. X::Numeric::Real for all of those? Or X::Numeric::Int, X::Numeric::Num X::Numeric::Real, X::Numeric::Rat? 13:34
13:36 xuusheng joined
moritz felher: first we should think about which cases can actually fail 13:36
felher moritz: all of them i guess. If you have complex numeric, it can not be converted to any of those.
moritz I see one failure mode where a Numeric (like, a Complex) cannot be converted to something Real (Real, Int, Num, Rat)
that failure mode deserves one exception type (maybe with the coercion target as an attribute) 13:37
then there is coercion to Rat, which might not succeed with the desired accuracy. What does that do? fail? or just return a not-so-accurte Rat? 13:38
anyway, I'd say X::Numeric::Real would be a good error for the first case 13:39
felher moritz: okay :) 13:41
13:41 crab2313 left
moritz extra points of providing a rakudo patch :-) 13:42
felher Btw: i think coercion to rat should fail if not possible within specified accuracy. Otherwise, where is the difference to not specifying a accuracy at all?
moritz: Yeah, i'll look at it. But it may take a day. I have a lecture in 20 Minutes and a movie evening afterwards :) 13:43

raiph what's the current p6 story, if any, on the implicit type / module (mebbe setting too?) version conflict discussed in stackoverflow.com/questions/1087558...each-other 16:13
masak raiph: it's all a bit handwavy still, but check out S11 about modules and versioning. 16:16
there's been thought put into exactly those things.
raiph specifically, the "subtle" issue mentioned in the answer that starts "You have the same problem in Haskell" and which answer has the comment "Fortunately the problem you describe manifests at compile-time; ghc won't build a module that tries to implicitly convert between different package-versions of data."
masak the general rule of thumb is that 'use'-ing a module is a local action, and different versions of the same module can co-exist on a system and be loaded in the same program through different 'use' paths. 16:17
theoretically. this is all unimplemented.
the underlying architecture is a bit heavyweight for Perl, in my opinion.
specifically, I think/hope we will never resort to storing our modules (or module metadata) in a database somewhere, just because that's the only way to make things truly platform independent. 16:18

I think the current state of datastructures would make it a bit of a pain, but that hasn't stopped people in other areas ;) 16:22
raiph masak: thx 4 yr answers 16:25
masak yr wlcm. 16:27
sirrobert One more weird thing about say/gist/Str... 16:28
harmil I wonder if the right solution for an ORM in Perl 6 might be a mini-language. That's kind of what things like sqlalchemy in Python try to create
moritz well, there are several part to an ORM
harmil true
sirrobert r: class A { method gist () {return self}; }; say A.new();
p6eval rakudo 684fd2: OUTPUT«A<-1502235178>␤»
sirrobert r: class B { method gist () {return self}; method Str() {return "foo"};}; say B.new();
p6eval rakudo 684fd2: OUTPUT«foo␤»
moritz one should note that Perl 6 has representation polymorphism
so one yould create a class SomeFoo is repr(MyDb) { ... } 16:29
16:29 cognominal_ left, Celelibi joined, cognominal_ joined
harmil I've been working with sqlalchemy recently and it often does things like <someexpression>.filter(orm_table_def.coldef == 1).first() 16:30
and that seems like it's a long walk around the park to get what a mini-language could get you instantly
sirrobert Any idea why "self" would be different depending on whether Str() was defined? 16:32
16:33 benabik left
masak sirrobert: the default .Str method gives what you see above with the A<-1502235178> 16:33
harmil gist is supposed to return something say can cope with. It will get back an object that still isn't a string.. .I think maybe then it tries .Str on the result? 16:34
sirrobert But if say uses .gist, why would it be different depending on whether Str is defined?
or does .gist use .Str internally?
harmil because you've defined a gist that returns self… so say gets back a thing that it still can't cope with. I'm assuming there's a fallback invoked. 16:35
masak .gist uses .Str by default.
sirrobert Ok, maybe I mean to ask: Where can I read what .gist is doing? =)
harmil no, masak, he's re-defining it
16:35 snearch left
masak harmil: he's redefining .Str 16:36
16:36 colomon joined
sirrobert both .gist and .Str 16:36
harmil I thought he defined both in the example
here's what's going on:
masak oh! right.
harmil IO.say is doing : $*OUT.print(nqp::shift($args).gist) while $args;
print is saying "the heck is a B.self?!" and calling .Str on it
16:36 benabik joined
sirrobert ah 16:37
harmil I … think. That gets into the boundary layer between Rakudo and Parrot where my knowledge goes quickly to 0 16:38
What's really happening, I think, is IO.print is calling Parrot's print and that does … magic … that eventually asks the Perl object to stringify? Guessing wildly 16:39
sirrobert What's the point of .gist in general?
or, rather, why move say from Str to gist?
harmil I think the idea is that say should print something that's intelligible for the user while generic .Str might do something more correct, but less user friendly? 16:40
16:40 zhutingting left
sirrobert ok 16:40
masak say() is supposed to stringify things with .gist
harmil yeah, he's asky why, and why not .Str
sirrobert masak: that makes sense; but it implies that there's a difference between the strings
trying to figure out the intended difference 16:41
raiph masak: i've now reread s11 fairly carefully, especially the versions section. i don't see anything, even handwavey, that i recognize as relating to the conflicting type versions issue mentioned in that haskell Q+A. any more thoughts?
sirrobert .gist strings are used to _____________, whereas .Str strings are used to __________________.
benabik .gist is designed to be useful for programmers. 16:42
harmil .gitst strings are used to produce say output, whereas .Str strings are used to stringify objects.
sirrobert heh
masak raiph: S11:345 was what I was thinking of.
raiph: I confess to not having read the stackoverflow question too carefully.
sirrobert harmil: that just shunts the question off to somewhere else ;)
benabik: hmm, ok. I'll have to think about the utility of that 16:43
harmil If it bothers, you, you can just "method gist() { self.Str } ; method Str() { "get off my lawn, you kids!" }" in all your classess.... 16:44
sirrobert It doesn't bother me, I just don't get it yet =)
harmil I understand, I was just taking the opportunity to be as funny as 4 hours of sleep allows
sirrobert heh 16:45
sorear colomon: afaik spectest doesn't touch the CLR interop, yeah 16:47
phenny sorear: 11:01Z <colomon> tell sorear Your fix suggestion appears to work. (Spectesting now, but the spectest probably never touches it, right?) Thank you!
raiph masak: "a subtle surprise: When you refer *indirectly* ... to a type ... it might be resolved to [one version of that type] at one place and [another version of that type] in another, and the two can't be unified." (my *emphasis*) 16:49
16:49 not_gerd joined
masak raiph: that, or something very much like it, actually happened to me. 16:50
well, it was a kind of namespace pollution, anyway.
raiph masak: did the compiler u used help u spot yr problem? if it didn't, do u think it reasonable that it could be supposed, one day, to do so? 16:52
16:52 daxim left
raiph masak: (i'm assuming that what happened to you was similar enough to the specific issue of type versions and implicit types to be basically the same problem) 16:54
masak I might have this documented in an old blog post.
[Coke] I haven't seen this one in a while: xkcd.com/312/ 16:56
Str, gist... don't forget perl. 16:58
masak raiph: yes, here: strangelyconsistent.org/blog/week-4...tant-steps -- paragraph starting with "A strange thing happened though," 16:59
16:59 fridim_ joined
raiph masak: thx. reading. 16:59
not_gerd sirrobert: what [Coke] said - gist is there to produce useful information about an object without going into implementation details like .perl does 17:00
r: class Dog { has $.name; has $.owner; method Str { $!name }; method gist { "$!name (owner: $!owner)" } }; my $grendel = Dog.new(:name("Grendel"), :owner("Kate")); .say for ~$grendel, $grendel, $grendel.perl
p6eval rakudo 684fd2: OUTPUT«Grendel␤Grendel (owner: Kate)␤Dog.new(name => "Grendel", owner => "Kate")␤»
masak not_gerd++ 17:01
.perl is there to produce Perl code describing the object.
.gist is there to describe the object without being bound by it being valid Perl code.
raiph masak: ok. aiui, that's where you import a name ("map") without immediately realizing the impact. 17:02
masak right.
well,
not exactly. 17:03
the damage was made in a module that was unrelated to the importing of the name 'map'.
17:03 dakkar left
masak like, it was in a different path down the tree of 'use' relationships. 17:03
sirrobert masak: that distinction helps. .gist as a sort of semi-technical gloss of the object. 17:04
masak right.
17:09 cognominal_ left 17:10 cognominal joined
raiph masak: ok. can u think of a way the p6 language and/or a p6 compiler could have better helped you to avoid or spot that problem? 17:15
masak it's not supposed to happen in a correctly implemented Perl 6 compiler. 17:16
given modules A, B, C -- A uses B and C -- anything that A imports from B is supposed to not disturb the meanings of names in C. 17:17
17:19 birdwindupbird left
masak because importing happens into lexical scopes, and C is not lexically nested inside A. 17:31

quietfanatic I guess that makes sense to be able to use it with either + or * 20:25

now it makes much more sense.
adu quietfanatic: I've had trouble with that too 20:28
I've been learning Perl6 for about a month now
quietfanatic ...not like [head|tail] made much sense itself
*not that 20:29
adu and the most informative things I've learned is from dumping the match object
quietfanatic Ah, yes, the match object is quite interesting
kinda both a hash and an array
and a string
adu r: my grammar G { rule TOP { <number> }; token number { <digit>* }; }; say G.parse("1") 20:31
p6eval rakudo 684fd2: OUTPUT«q[1]␤ number => q[1]␤ digit => q[1]␤␤»
adu quite interesting, yes
quietfanatic: have you seen my go grammar?
quietfanatic I have not.
for the go language?
adu yes
pastebin.com/raw.php?i=W297Nn8m 20:32
github.com/andydude/gosemi
it currently requires explicit semicolons
I hope to fix that
quietfanatic That's pretty neat 20:33
[Coke] sighs, as pastebin is blocked here. 20:34
adu [Coke]: can you access github? 20:35
quietfanatic I don't think implicit semicolons should be that hard, but it depends on how they're specced.
adu golang.org/ref/spec#Semicolons
you can see my <automatic_semicolon> rule for how I was thinking of doing it
quietfanatic Oh, it just uses a heuristic 20:36
sounds like you can do that with a lookbehind assertion.
adu maybe, we'll see
quietfanatic or maybe it's more complicated than that
right, it requires examining what you've already parsed to the left 20:37
well, I dunno.
adu everyone seems to think it's impossible, which is why I want to do it
I was thinking of making multiple versions of every production, like <int_lit>, <before_semi_int_lit>, but I don't want to 20:38
quietfanatic there should be a shorter way...
adu indeed
TimToady they're just methods, and you can do other things than just match stuff
adu like set globals $EXPECTING_SEMICOLON = True? 20:39
quietfanatic right, I was thinking of setting a stateful variable after parsing each token that can terminate a line
TimToady well, globals stink, but that's the idea
quietfanatic but then you have to unset it
adu right
TimToady a dynamic variable would be more appropriate, or a memo array like STD uses
quietfanatic can you attach something to the match object in the token and examine it in the statement rule? 20:40
*token rule
sorear adu: I told you yesterday it was possible. <?after> is the wrong approach, though. 20:41
adu s/impossible/intractible/
quietfanatic or you might not even have to set anything when oarsing the token 20:42
if when you encounter a newline, you open up the match object for the last-matched thing and walk down it until you find the right token
adu <{ $TerminatingToken || fail }>? 20:43
quietfanatic of course, then you have to make sure you always descend into the right-most match object.
TimToady STD just sets a memo on the parse position, and then it doesn't matter how you get there 20:44
quietfanatic you can do that?
TimToady see curlycheck in STD.pm6
that's how it makes ; optional after line-ending }
this is basically the same problem
quietfanatic of course, storing an array equal in length to the parsed string takes a lot of memory 20:45
TimToady only more general than just after }
quietfanatic unless it's really a hash :)
TimToady you could use a bitmap
adu yeah, I've been looking at STD.pm6, but I don't see how to apply it to my problem
sorear I am sorely tempted to spend the next hour writing a full Go grammar to prove to the world that my way will work and adu's won't 20:46
quietfanatic And Perl 6 lets you manipulate packed bits these days?
TimToady well, if that's the first step to a Go backend for niecza, I'm all for it :)
quietfanatic: almost
you can fake it with a buffer, or a large Int 20:47
quietfanatic 'almost' sounds very familiar... :)
TimToady but we don't quite have my bit @array; yet
I think rakudo is pretty close with its existing native types though
adu sorear: if you could explain it to me, maybe I can do it for you
quietfanatic that's good news.
TimToady bit arrays will be much nicer than vec() 20:48
in my radical lookup program I was just hacking on, I used a Buf to fake a vec()
but I have to do my own div 8, % 8 processing
adu TimToady: oo sounds useful
TimToady adu: it's very useful if you're willing to learn my names for several thousand radicaloids :) 20:49
adu heh
quietfanatic now that native types are (almost) working, maybe I shall start remaking Link::C 20:50
sorear oo, I like radicaloids 20:51
20:52 kaare_ left, birdwindupbird left
TimToady for instance, if I see 感, I can look it up as 'rad unison Heart' or as 'rad halberd barmouth Heart' or various other breakdowns 20:52
and it spits out a line like: 611f 13感Heart.b unison.t kan=+feeling
the actual breakdown of "unison" is TheDog and mouth though 20:53
620c 06戌halberd.o toebar.l hbar.c halberd.r fifth.o hbar.i inu=dog +TheDog /Zt11th
quietfanatic 'The' because it's a constellation 20:54
TimToady nodnod
though none of the others need The
TheDog gets it because dog and Dog are both taken
but boar, firehorse, Hare, etc get away without it
quietfanatic because they're all the same as their earhtly counterparts? 20:55
TimToady well, not always
but I try to use lower/uppercase to good advantage when possible
quietfanatic or because you're relying on capitalization to differentiate
ah
adu TimToady: what are you using for your radical data? 20:58
I found github.com/kawabata/kanji-database-ids to be quite useful 20:59
quietfanatic I believe he's making his own database. 21:00
adu ok
TimToady well, originally based on existing databases, but that was years ago 21:02
at the moment I'm going through all the Extension B characters classifying them 21:03
21:03 skids left
TimToady done with everything up to about 15 strokes so far 21:03
but pretty much any combination of forms you can think of, somebody has used somewhere... 21:04

TimToady here's a cool one: 𦮙 21:05

adu and I have a s**tload of fonts installed 21:07
TimToady I think the max stroke count is 𪚥
4.dragons, in my database
adu ryu! my favorite
sorear hey, I found an ambiguity in the go spec
break /*
adu sorear: do tell
sorear */ continiue
is a semicolon inserted at the end of the first line? 21:08
(how does the go compiler handle this case? I don't have it installed atm)
adu sorear: I'll check
TimToady I know how STD handles those things (hint: there's a unv rule that matches anything "unvertical", including comments with embedded whitespace) 21:09
quietfanatic so STD would not like that
adu sorear: yes, gc compiles that to be equivalent to break; 21:10
TimToady STD would not insert a semicolon if you say {...} #'( comment with \n ) stuff, unless stuff is just \h* $$
adu not even a warning that continue is dead code
21:10 libertyprime left, libertyp1ime left
quietfanatic wait, it doesn't even see the continue? 21:11
or it just won't reach it

ADDSEMI?
sorear put :my @*ADDSEMI in your TOP rule 21:42
it's basically a thread-local variable, but needs to be declared somewhere in the call stack
also, it seems the .cursor stuff is niecza-only as written 21:44
there's probably a rakudo equivalent, dunno what offhand 21:45

lightning talk sometime 23h50-0h50 utc 23:14
jnthn Hm, will likely be doing a train journey on a wifi-equipped train during that Friday one.
pmichaud no, wait, that's not right 23:15
I'm off by a couple of hours
jnthn Oh, but wait...BST rather than UTC...
pmichaud lightning talk 21h50-0h50
(utc)
friday at 18h30
thursday at 20h30 23:16
that's better
jnthn Ah, those are trickier...will keep 'em in mind.
pmichaud okay, I need to head off to the arrival dinner -- will bbl 23:17
