sorear depends on how you define "use" 00:18
for hard-real-time high-assurance avionics, there will likely always be better choices 00:19
grondilu at least for simulation, it will be cool to use a high level language such as Perl6. 00:21

[Coke] irc is like the perl3 of chat. 18:05
doy what would you suggest as a replacement? 18:06
jnthn MSN Messenger!

18:07 killbot joined
[Coke] doy: my preference would be xmpp. 18:08
rjbs doesn't know of any xmpp clients half as useful as irssi. 18:09
(Not that I need a vote in this, since I only show up to tell Coke to play D&D or to ask very basic questions.)
[Coke] rjbs: dammit! I do want to play, really! 18:10
(that dammit was to me, not you!)
rjbs [Coke]: :-) Saturday!
[Coke] rjbs: ironically? I've been playing a lot of skyrim lately.
tadzik [Coke]: I guess the irc is just good enough, and xmpp doesn't really have any real advantage
[Coke] actually, I do play skyrim ironically. Just to be hip.
sirrobert does xmpp allow persistent channels? that can be joined without invite? 18:11
tadzik yes
sirrobert I didn't know that
tadzik one big cons: you need an xmpp account to join xmpp chat
sirrobert what's it called?
tadzik: ahh
tadzik I don't know if it's called anything
I guess it's just MUC
sirrobert just did a search for it but didn't know how to search for it =)
[Coke] tadzik: yah, that's not a con.
sirrobert xmpp channel
tadzik oh yes it is
"hey guys, move to this service. It serves the same purpose, but you need an account" 18:12
[Coke] for guests? sure. For you and I? no it isn't. But you can allow guests.
tadzik: I /already/ need an account to use freenode.
tadzik well, you get persistent identities on xmpp
doy rjbs: "bitlbee"
tadzik on irc we work around that, which is imperfect
[Coke] tadzik: which, IMO, is a big enough reason to switch. But I am clearly outvoted, so the discussion is moot. 18:13
doy [Coke]: you don't, really... it just whines at you a lot if you don't have one
(:
tadzik [Coke]: well, I'm quite a fan of xmpp myself
rjbs doy: Hm. I 've used that, but never for chat rooms on xmpp. Hm.
doy rjbs: i've never tried it with xmpp chat rooms, actually
but it works fine for normal xmpp messages
tadzik [Coke]: I guess the big win is that it's easier to bring people in to irc 18:14
just "hey, click here and you're online"
[Coke] tadzik: you can do the same with xmpp web chat, IIRC. 18:15
tadzik [Coke]: is it possible to communicate on xmpp without an account?
[Coke] tadzik: I believe so, yes.
tadzik curious :)
[Coke] let's assume it is: no one is switching, it's moot. :) 18:16
tadzik is that specified in some XEP?
[Coke] stops talking about it because it's just depressing.
tadzik now that you got me interested? You cruel person :)
tadzik goes to look at xmpp specs 18:17
18:17 am0c left
[Coke] chuckles. 18:22
moritz somebody[tm] could write a Perl 6 wrapper around libpurple (the IM lib that pidgin and some other clients ues) 18:23
*use
tadzik hm 18:24
I used loudmouth for clients I wrote, but it is absolutely horrible :)
or maybe just horribly undermaintained 18:25
moritz I've used none of those directly myself, from the usage patterns I just assumed that libpurple was a quasi-standard
tadzik I think telepathy is now a go-to thing 18:26
but maybe not :)
18:27 mishin left
timotimo_ you can communicate on xmpp without accounts. it's how zeroconf chatting works 18:28
tadzik cool
do you have any technical links I could read?
timotimo_ but i don't think you can get onto the federated network like that
xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0174.html 18:29
tadzik oh, nice

flussence found this sub-thread interesting, wondering how it'd go in p6; www.reddit.com/r/programming/commen...?context=2 18:43
(and then I invariably ended up wondering what the heck andthen/orelse are used for...)
arnsholt How attached can I expect people to be to S21 (Calling foreign code)?
flussence arnsholt: meh, I've rewritten my code entirely once already, don't care :) 18:44
PerlJam arnsholt: Why do you ask?
sirrobert fluessence: a tabular return is appropriate there. P6 may have some more terse syntax, though 18:45
arnsholt I was going to spec the interface provided by NativeCall
jnthn arnsholt: Go for it, imho
flussence after actually looking at S21, +1 18:46
arnsholt Cool
PerlJam arnsholt: what they said :)
jnthn S21 is...basically empty
arnsholt I think I'll kill most of the stuff that's there, and relegate Perl 5 interop to a "how do we want this to work?" section

sirrobert right? 19:13

brrt yes
or, more properly
i want to know if perl6 will /allow/ flattening it
and, considering the 2, (3, 4) example, i'm guessing that it is

sirrobert brrt, I think you have to flatten on the caller side for that. 19:14
jnthn Dunno if that's what you're looking for
brrt yeah, pretty much
jnthn: this means that a callee must be able to flatten the LoL of the caller 19:15
which is a Problem if you wish to implement it 19:16
jnthn doesn't quite see the problem.
brrt great, then you might enlighten me :-) 19:17
jnthn Or vice versa ;)
sirrobert heh
brrt ok, my problem, or challenge, is this
jnthn A LoL preserves parcel structure.
A normal *@foo flattens any flattening things that are passed. 19:18
brrt (keep going please :-))
i wish to design and implement a bytecode that is high-level enough to implement many languages simultaneously and interoperably
i.e., i want to replace parrot
jnthn Note that there's a difference between 19:19

p6eval rakudo 870d18: OUTPUT«1␤»
jnthn More generally, things know if they will flatten or they are meant to be single items and that lives on with them when they are passed. 19:21
(finished now, ask questions if you have 'em :)) 19:22
brrt yes, thanks :-)
ehm, my point was, in general
i had imagined a scheme where things that you want to flatten would provide an iterator 19:23
19:23 Su-Shee left
brrt i.e., a flattened hash would give an iterator for pairs 19:23
a flattened array would give an iterator for its items 19:24
however
if you can have callee-side flattening, this scheme fails
because my intention was to have the interpreter /not/ know which items can flatten 19:25
jnthn If I was building Parrot's calling conventions again, I'd have the flatten thing just set a bit somewhere and leave the callee to figure out what to do
brrt yeah, thats my back-to-the-drawing board plan 19:26
jnthn Rakudo has a custom signature binder, fwiw.
It kinda needs it.
Binding Perl 6 signatures can lead to recursive calls into the binder, for example. 19:27
arnsholt Regarding specs: are there any conventions for including speculations/marginalia into the text?
jnthn arnsholt: I've seen things like (Conjectural: blah blah)
arnsholt I'll go with that for the moment then. Some more experienced spec wrangler can fix it if it's too bad =) 19:28
sirrobert what's the best way to do a method factory? e.g. class A { for <a b c> -> $name { method $name () {...} } }; 19:29
19:30 Su-Shee joined, mucker left
brrt jnthn: if you could read this: github.com/bdw/parakeet/blob/maste...entions.md 19:30
and then tell me where i'm wrong
i'd be delighted
(although you have given me a pretty good idea)
jnthn sirrobert: You should probably do that at BEGIN time 19:31
sirrobert jnthn: hmm... ok

jnthn o.O 19:36
sirrobert jnthn: ah.. I interpreted it as a different meaning in p5
jnthn cognominal: Is it actually tracing?
colomon jnthn: yes, and my names not cognominal. ;)
jnthn sirrobert: The thing to understand about classes is that as the parser runs over them, it makes a bunch of method calls.
colomon: oops :)
colomon: OK. This is Grammar::Tracer? :) 19:37
colomon jnthn: yes
jnthn It's not hung or messed up?
sirrobert jnthn: ok, will think about that.
jnthn 3 hours is...crazy long.
colomon it's never stopped printing things out. I think it might be in an endless loop of some sort
jnthn Yeah
I mean, it carries overhead compared to the normal un-traced parse but...
...that sounds excessive. 19:38
sirrobert This also works. Why would it be undesirable?
colomon it never came back with a result in a non-traced run, which is why I switched over to traced.
sirrobert r: class A { }; for <a b c> -> $m { A.HOW.add_method(A, $m, method () { "method $m" }) }; say A.a; say A.c;

jnthn colomon: OK. Maybe tracing really *is* that slow. 19:41
colomon jnthn: it is parsing a 1.3 meg STEP file, so it is doing quite a lot of work. (Just thought to look, and it is 4x longer than the next longest STEP file I've tried to parse, so maybe it's not too surprising it's slow.) 19:43

19:48 fgomez left
colomon brrt: ;) 19:49
brrt by the way... is it ever the intention we can 'flatten' an infinite list? 19:50
i.e., what happens now 19:51
r: sub foo(*@args) { say @args[0]; }; my @a = 1..Inf; foo(@a); 19:52
p6eval rakudo 870d18: OUTPUT«1␤»
brrt ... what happens to me now
19:53 kaare__ left
jnthn But we don't flatten there really 19:53
@args is an Array that contains @a and @a contains the Range and is flattening, so when you ask for @args[0] it asks for @a[0] which produces the first value from the range 19:54
But that's nothing to do with calling conventions.
Well, the creation of the outer Array for @args is I guess
brrt basically 19:55
you're saying the callee makes a flattening array and therefore has to figure it out
19:56 fgomez joined
jnthn Well, the important flattening thing here is the @a 19:56
brrt i guess that makes sense 19:59

jnthn Actually $(2, 3) compiles to (2, 3).item
colomon jnthn: still not repeating itself, BTW.
jnthn I'm getting kinda tired for today, but I'll see if I can look at it tomorrow or so
colomon jnthn: but the bad news is the file I really want to process is 12 megs, so if things are really this slow on a 1.3 meg file, I may be in trouble here. 20:05
jnthn colomon: You need to process it with tracing?
colomon: Grammar::Tracer slows down grammar execution quite significantly. 20:06
brrt jnthn: thanks a lot 20:07
jnthn I wrote it with "OK, I'm building a grammar and it doesn't work, let me work out where" in mind.
colomon jnthn: no, I just need to process it. But I'm doing the trace because the 1.3 meg file was so slow I thought it was in an infinite loop the tracer would help me find. If instead it's really just that slow, then I've got big issues with running a 12 meg file.

diakopter so rakudo takes more than 10 ms per try 23:14

sorear maybe not.
diakopter niecza times out at at least 1750
n: eval 'say ' ~ 'try ' x 1750 ~ '66'
p6eval niecza v22-7-g7df6137: OUTPUT«(timeout)»
diakopter trying to bisect
like I did with rakudo 23:17

diakopter hard to say due to startup time
oh wait, what's times
sorear n: say (2.316 - 1.180) / 450; say (8.848 - 1.180) / 1450

times[0] is noncumulative user time

diakopter sorear: is there a way to measure niecza's time to lookup a unicode property like alpha 23:29
23:30 replore left
diakopter or rakudo's for that matter 23:31
23:32 benabik joined
sorear diakopter: depends a bit on what you mean I guess 23:33
diakopter how long would it take to do a million
sorear when you do <:alpha> in niecza it embeds an inversion list into the regex
diakopter what's an inversion list 23:34
23:34 drbean joined
sorear actually it's a sorted list of intervals 23:34
does binary search to find the nearest interval, then checks membership
23:35 carillke joined 23:36 whiteknight left
diakopter what's the golfedest way to check alpha on an alpha char 23:37
in a regex let's say
23:39 drbean left
diakopter n: my $a = 'a'x 50000; say times[0]; $a ~~ /<alpha>*/; say times[0] 23:39

diakopter hm, is <alpha> the right thing
I always forget the syntax 23:40
sorear <alpha> works but <:alpha> will be faster 23:41

diakopter ahhhh neat 23:49
sorear [~] is using an internal StringBuilder
I think x is using the stupid quadratic algo
