rjbs TimToady seemed to say the other day that [].splice(0,3) should be false, and that its truth in Rakudo is a bug. Pm says "I'm not sure if this is correct" of my bug report. 01:05
Where can I find a citation to provide to Pm, other than chatlogs? 01:06
I think the last para of perlcabal.org/syn/S32/Containers.html#splice is on point?
TimToady yup 01:10
rjbs Thanks. I had worried that there would be some subtle nuance to the words used, to which I was not yet attuned.
TimToady and well motivated, insofar as it makes it much easier to write a loop with it 01:11
rjbs indeed

drKreso Heh, Actually I am puzzled with difference of pointy block -> and => 07:43
And their relation to Ruby blocks
sorear drKreso: what is perl6i ? 07:48
FROGGS sorear: that's the release name after perl6h :o)
sorear drKreso: I am going to assume the i was a typo and you meant Perl 6 07:49
drKreso It's begging of is
Perl6 is
sorear drKreso: the difference is that -> has something to do with blocks, and => doesn't. 07:50
drKreso I thoght perl doesn't care about whitespaces :)
sorear => is just a pair constructor
foo => 3 means Pair.new(:key("foo"), :value(3))
(perl 5 mostly doesn't care about whitespace. perl 6 cares a bit more)

I am a bit lost with hyper operator.... If we say in Ruby (1..5).reduce(&:+), I know it can be written like [+] (1..5) (or similar), but how can I pass in higher order function (or block) via » (or am I missing the point of hyper) 07:56
sorear n: my $bl = -> $thing { say "hello $thing" }; $bl("world")
p6eval niecza v24-24-gbdc3343: OUTPUT«hello world␤» 07:57
drKreso For example (1..5).reduce { |x| x + rand }
sorear i am not sure how that works 08:00
shouldn't reduce take two arguments? 08:01
drKreso Ruby part?
sorear yes
can you explain what that ruby is doing?
FROGGS (&:+) <--- is like a guy with curly hair to me
drKreso (1..5).reduce { |x,sum| sum += x } #=> 15 08:02
(1..5).reduce(&:+)
sorear drKreso: does "reduce { |x| x + rand }" mean anything?
drKreso it means apply method + to all elements and pass result
sorear the lack of a comma in |x| is confusing me
but I think I get where you're going with this 08:03
drKreso In perl it's [+] (1..5)
sorear the answer was, until recently, no
drKreso I am interested in "reduce" with block counterpart in perl 08:04
sorear r: [1,2,3,4,5].reduce({ say "x=$^x y=$^y"; 5 })
p6eval rakudo 0f9703: OUTPUT«x=1 y=2␤x=5 y=3␤x=5 y=4␤x=5 y=5␤»
sorear that's the sane way
the [x] syntax is only useful with named functions, not really with anonymous ones 08:05
but you can use .reduce with anonymous functions
drKreso what is $^x? 08:06
sorear shorthand for a parameter
r: [1,2,3,4,5].reduce(-> $x, $y { say "x=$x y=$y"; 5 })
p6eval rakudo 0f9703: OUTPUT«x=1 y=2␤x=5 y=3␤x=5 y=4␤x=5 y=5␤»
drKreso So this is "block" version of sum : [1,2,3,4,5].reduce({ $^x + $^y}) 08:07
How would I inject starting value (1..5).reduce(8) { |x,sum| sum += x } #=> 23 08:08
08:08 brrt joined
drKreso sorear: Thanks, now I get it [1,2,3,4,5].reduce(-> $x, $y { say "x=$x y=$y"; 5 }) This way I can see it's block 08:09
I kinda like it
08:09 brrt left
drKreso Btw. --the answer was, until recently, no-- how recently? I am curious? 08:10
sorear drKreso: that one was mostly just me being confused and forgetful 08:11
n: say [1,2,3,4,5]>>[&( { $_ * $_ } )] 08:12

p6eval niecza v24-24-gbdc3343: OUTPUT«25␤»
drKreso Z is zip right?
sorear yes
there was a change a couple months ago to allow you to use anonymous functions with the metaoperators
drKreso that >> example is not working for me 08:14
sorear n: say (1,2,3,4,5 Z[&( { $^a * $^b } )] 10,100,1000,10000,100000)

sorear r: say (1,2,3,4,5 Z[&( { $^a * $^b } )] 10,100,1000,10000,100000)
drKreso What's the & for?
p6eval rakudo 0f9703: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Unable to parse expression in bracketed infix; couldn't find final ']'␤at /tmp/97TERKH2f2:1␤------> say (1,2,3,4,5 Z[&⏏( { $^a * $^b } )] 10,100,1000,10000,100␤»
sorear drKreso: Disambiguation, mostly
SIGIL( FOO ) lets you use an expression in a syntactic spot that accepts a variable 08:15
drKreso say [1,2,3,4,5]>>[&( { $_ * $_ } )]
ok
arnsholt TimToady, jnthn: I've pondered NativeCall-JVM a bit, and I think it should be possible to implement more or less like NativeCall-Parrot
FROGGS arnsholt: time and day? :P
sorear you can use [VARIABLE] anywhere an infix operator is expected, in niecza only it seems
drKreso Index out of range. Is: 1, should be in 0..0
arnsholt Except that less code has to be in C, I think, and more in Java
FROGGS: When, you mean? 08:16
FROGGS arnsholt: right :o)
sorear drKreso: the >>[] is wrong, wrong, wrong. [&( EXPR )] is only for infixes, not postfixes
arnsholt My current plan is to wait until NQP-JVM is in the main NQP repo
FROGGS ya, that makes sense
arnsholt Also, I'd like to improve various parts of the API (Buffers, most notably) before going to backend #2 08:17
sorear drKreso: you've probably noticed that there's a difference betwen n: and r:, do you need me to elaborate on that? 08:18
FROGGS ohh yes, implementing an API that will change in near future is a waste of time
drKreso sorear: yes I don't have a clue what are you talking about 08:19
:(
08:20 domidumont joined
sorear ok, there are a few implementations of perl 6 08:20
what you probably have installed on your computer is rakudo/parrot
that has the largest development team at the moment
drKreso yes rakudo
sorear that's "r" in p6eval 08:21
FROGGS p6eval: help
p6eval FROGGS: Usage: <(star|pugs|nqp|b|std|niecza|rakudo|nom|npr|n|r|perl6|prn|rn|p|rnp|nrp|pnr|rpn|p6|nr)(?^::\s) $perl6_program>
drKreso What is n:
sorear n = niecza, which runs on Mono/.net and has a different set of features 08:22
also I wrote it
when I'm doing examples, I send them to n because I can better predict how n will react
FROGGS drKreso: and there is nqp, which is a layer between parrot (a VM), and rakudo 08:23
sorear p is audreyt's pugs, which hasn't been touched in quite a while
drKreso Oh , wow. 08:24
sorear rpn, rp, rn, and all permutations thereof let you run something in the 3 most complete implem entations and compare output
star runs a full rakudo star build, with modules
perl6 and p6 are aliases for rpn
drKreso what is your motivation for implementing your version? 08:25
sorear because I didn't like the way Rakudo was going and I thought I could do better 08:26
drKreso Hehe, fair enough. I am .NET guy myself... so at least I can understand your version :)
sorear niecza was actually developed using mono on a linux machine 08:27
08:27 SamuraiJack joined
sorear niecza is no longer very actively developed. times have changed, it's less needed now, and it's nowhere near as fun for me as it once was 08:28
FROGGS niecza is pretty cool and fast and has according to the daily spectests about 80% of rakudos features (in some areas niecza still beats rakudo)...
sorear most of my biggest gripes with everything rakudo were addressed in the most recent large rewrite
drKreso I meant C#... how long have you been developing it? 08:29
FROGGS what I dont like about rakudo is that there is this layer nqp, which is some sort of independent project
drKreso nqp is?
08:29 rindolf left
FROGGS not quiet perl 08:29
sorear drKreso: I started in mid-2010. it's harder to put a concrete date on when I stopped
c# is a pretty nice language :)
drKreso hehe
FROGGS drKreso: if you look at its syntax nqp almost looks like perl, but it isnt even a subset of it 08:30
drKreso a bit verbose... but all in all it's ok
I see the features matrix - it's a shame not to finish it :) 08:31
FROGGS it is, yes
drKreso I mean it's probably better than C when developing language 08:32
sorear are you talking about nqp or c#
drKreso c# 08:33
08:33 domidumont left
drKreso It evalated c after all :) 08:33
08:34 domidumont joined
drKreso FROGGGS: nqp - almost like perl5 or perl6 08:35
08:35 daxim joined
drKreso sorear : TimToday had commit 3 days ago on ? That's Larry right? 08:36
FROGGS drKreso: almost like perl 6
sorear drKreso: Yes 08:37
drKreso What is rakudo written in? 08:39
FROGGS nqp and perl 6, and a tiny bit pir (parrot language) 08:40
drKreso bootstrapping? 08:41
FROGGS but these tiny bits are fading away since it is ported to JVM
sorear also C
FROGGS drKreso: yes, but dont ask details, I can't answer these :o)
right, parts of the multi dispatcher are C, and some other bits
sorear drKreso: The compiler is written in NQP, the low-level runtime support code is in C, and the standard library is in Perl 6 08:42
The parts of the standard library that are so fundamental that they need to be in place before any Perl 6 can be parsed, are in NQP and bundled with the compiler 08:43
drKreso So when can I use rakudo in production :) What is main argument against? Speed? Stability? Memory?
Libraries? Btw. Can't I user perl5 CPAN libraries? 08:44
FROGGS drKreso: some day this year? Yes, No, No
drKreso great
sorear you can use it *now* if you're willing to accept the speed and memory
FROGGS drKreso: not yet, it is specced, but not supported right now
sorear can't use cpan libs transparently, but there's a p5 foreign call system that works occasionally
drKreso But it will be? Is it a big problem?
sorear I think that stability-wise rakudo is actually pretty good 08:45
FROGGS drKreso: my plan is to port a few modules from perl 5 to 6, to be able to so some production stuff with perl 6 this year
sorear some people are already using perl 6 in important systems
FROGGS no doubt, it is stable
sorear don't expect to handle 100 requests per second with a perl 6 web server
drKreso Exciting, I want to use it! 08:46
FROGGS well, then: git clone ...
drKreso It feels like ruby on stereoids, and I love ruby
Do any of you guys thinks perl5 < ruby < perl6, or do you always prefere perl
hoelzro Ruby is quite nice
FROGGS I dont no any ruby
hoelzro I do most of my work in Perl 5, but I know a fair amount of Ruby 08:47
I definitely think that Perl 6 incorporates the good things that Ruby added
drKreso hoelzro: Yes, same here
FROGGS: Oh, I have rakudo, I've been sleeping badly last three days from trying it out dead tired :) 08:48
sorear The problem we have with the "production ready" meme is that it lumps together too many applications that need to remain separate. Languages and implementations must be evaluated on a case by case basis.
Is Perl 5 ready to replace FORTRAN for big model runs at the National Weather Service?
Ruby is probably the most widely used language that I cannot even read. 08:50
I should fix that someday.
It has to be easier than J.
drKreso Ruby has a lot of nice stuff that is taken directly from perl5, so you should feel right at home. Actually seeing so many ideas that I like stolen from perl5 made me look at perl... and than BANG perl6, wow 08:52
And I had no idea it's been cooking for 12 years, so I feel like a guy who falls asleep, and awakens at the end of 24h trip (that is supposed to last 2h) and ask passenger - "Oh we are already here" - And they all are pissed of at him since he was sleeping the whole time. 08:53
Timbus its probably better that way. many people gave up along the way 08:54
sorear the goal of perl6 has always been to design a language that people will still want to use in 2030
FROGGS drKreso: same for me, maybe I was under a rock but till last YAPC I didnt know that there is perl 6 :/ 08:55
sorear FROGGS: you discovered p6 in frankfurt?
FROGGS right
sorear huh
drKreso FROGGS: You came in nice and fresh smelling like a rose :) 08:56
sorear I thought you were here longer than that
FROGGS I never went to YAPCs or workshops before, might be a reason
drKreso: *g*
sorear yeah well you have so many of them near where you live ;)
FROGGS sorear: I'm active here since october
drKreso FROGGS: Is there any way I can help for rakudo? I feel it would be a good way to get to know the language better. How did you start? 08:57
08:59 kresike joined
kresike hello all you happy perl6 people 08:59
FROGGS the first thing I did (and timotimo too), is skimming through bg reports, and test if they are already done
drKreso at github?
FROGGS if they are done, add tests to roast (a test repository), and close the ticket
no, rt
perl6 queue
after a few tickets I tried to fix one bug on my own, since it affected one of my modules 09:00
this took quiet a while, like 50 hours within two months, but I get it done
I enjoyed it so I took the next ticket :o) 09:01
sorear muahahahaha
FROGGS at work I do php webstuff to 80%, the rest perl jobs, so I can learn pretty much here 09:02
drKreso Ok, so check if bug is fixed, add test and then after a few - try fixing something?
FROGGS well, that was the right thing for me, yes
drKreso Sure, it was nice talking to you guys. 09:03
FROGGS drKreso: you're welcome!
sorear I started out here with the incredibly stupid idea to make an irc client using macros
FROGGS *g*
drKreso sorear: hehe
sorear that morphed into "implement macros"* and then into "start a whole new implementation" 09:04
FROGGS and then you did a much much cooler thing
right
sorear * my version of macros frankly sucked and was never merged. The macros you see in rakudo today are the work of masak++
drKreso Oh, btw. is Larry joking when he calls python a snakeoil or he means it? I am pissing off my python colegue :) with it.
sorear do not credit me for macros just because I worked on them 09:05
drKreso how close are they to "THE" macros (lisp)
sorear We've got most of your favorite features, hygiene and syntactic awareness 09:06
Of course you can't directly compare it to lisp without homoiconicitty
drKreso Well I think macros are overrated :) anyways

raiph continuing my attempt to install the rakudo debugger on ubuntu. to recap, i got some errors from 'make rakudo-test': gist.github.com/raiph/5032649. i went ahead and did 'make install'. perl-debug says "bash: ./perl6-debug: No such file or directory" then i did 'make modules-test': gist.github.com/raiph/5038001 <--- would someone please help me debug getting the debugger running? 12:17
moritz raiph: stupid question, have you tried ./install/bin/perl6-debug ? 12:18
12:19 SmokeMachine joined
raiph moritz: \o/ that works! (you are dealing with me. no question is ever too stupid. :) ) 12:20
moritz++ # for patience 12:21
moritz raiph: the "proper" way to use Rakudo star is to put the install/bin dir in $PATH, and then call the binaries without qualified paths (e.g. just perl6-debug)
the copy of the perl6 binary is just for convenience
colomon huh. I thought I installed perl6-debug with panda the other day, but I have a install/lib/parrot/4.10.0-devel/languages/perl6/site/bin/perl6-debug.nqp and no perl6-debug 12:22

timotimo "If Perl 5 is anything to go by, not using parens will occasionally have surprising results." - is this incorrect, though? 13:49
moritz timotimo: there can alyways be someone who is surprised by the precedence levels 13:52
colomon has certainly been surprised more than once. there are a lot of precedence levels in p6
moritz though I personally find perl 5 *with* parens even more surprising
print (2 + 3) * 4; # 5
huf yes, but that's fairly simple and obvious :D 13:53
moritz only obvious if you know the rules. And only obvious when talking about precedence gone wrong 13:54

16:19 kresike left
TimToady is very much in favor of doing away with leapseconds for civil time in favor of some larger correction less frequently, with more leadtime, like on century boundaries 16:21
awwaiid agrees with TimToady, especially because the time adjustment parties would thus also be bigger 16:22
TimToady but who cares if civil time drifts off of astronomical midnight by a minute or two anyway, unless you're aiming a telescope somewhere?
awwaiid I know, right? and we live a lie more than half the year anyway with DST 16:23
Ulti which atomic time does perl6 use?
proper atomic time or UTC?
TimToady I mean, come on, each of our timezones has a ±7.5° slop in them already
TAI
Ulti yay
people should start correcting for the gravitational affects of different locations in the geoid 16:24
TimToady that's equivalent to ±half an hour off of local astronomical time
I know, let's have local leap attoseconds depending on how much your location is drifting from TAI :) 16:26
Ulti and my watch should correct for my mass accelerating too.. maybe predict the different times for my head and wrist

17:57 dakkar left
jnthn arnsholt: I've been pondering it a bit. I think buffers really just want to be arrays. 17:57
arnsholt: Something with VMArray REPR, with the type indicating the size, perhaps. 17:58
arnsholt Yeah, on JVM they'd correspond to byte[], short[], int[] and long[]
And float[] and double[], I guess
17:58 jaldhar left
arnsholt Merging it with VMArray makes a lot sense 17:59
arnsholt ponders
17:59 domidumont joined
TimToady Buf[bit] might be (more than a bit) more work 17:59
18:00 jaldhar joined
arnsholt I've intentionally ignored that, for the time being =) 18:00
jnthn: VMArray instances are created via nqp::list, right?
Ulti dont forget bytes are really 32bit signed integers in Java land... 18:01
jnthn arnsholt: On the JVM impl that makes a VMArray of objects.
TimToady keeps vaguely wanting bit arrays for this and that 18:02
arnsholt Ulti: No, that's the char type, I'm pretty sure
jnthn arnsholt: The idea is that VMArray is a REPR that is composed appropriately.
arnsholt Ah, right
Ulti char is byte which is a 32bit integer iirc
TimToady RC's back up, btw 18:03
Ulti there is no such thing as unsigned in Java either
so if you want an insigned int you have to use half a long 18:04
arnsholt Parrot has the same lack of unsigned
18:04 zby_home left
Ulti yeah but Java it was a language decision based on the quotable phrase "developers dont understand unsigned arithmetic" 18:04
TimToady therefore the VM designers should also not bother to understand it :) 18:05
Ulti not that the VM implementation was somehow simpler, better, elegant
arnsholt The Java spec says byte is 8-bit signed two's-complement
Ulti orly
arnsholt And char is "16-bit unsigned integers representing UTF-16 code units", which makes me sad 18:06
jnthn arnsholt: I think that I'd like us to have ops that take a native string and some buffer (type object perhaps) and fill that buffer with the the Right Thing (e.g. utf8-encoding of the string) 18:07
skids
.oO(how could unsigned (modular) arithmetic be considered harder than signed 2s compliment?)
huf i think the hard part is mixing them
that's what trips up c coders, iirc
arnsholt jnthn: Yeah, probably a good idea. Native string being STRING*/whatever JVM passes around, right? 18:08
jnthn Correct.
huf so java decided to throw out one of them, and they deemed negative integers more important than sane bitmagic
jnthn On the JVM that is currently String. In the future it'll be some NFG thing.

TimToady no, I didn't bother :)

arnsholt jnthn: So the
jnthn arnsholt: yes, the. 18:10
TimToady cheating is technique--I learned that in the backlog
arnsholt Bah. Still not sued to new laptop keyboard >.<
So, the main question is how we want to represent arrays of ints/floats of various sizes and make them play nice with arrays of objects
jnthn Well, the question of how you convey that to VMArray is spec'd as part of repr_compose...and I guess what CArray does. 18:11
skids r: class A { has int8 $.a; method BUILD { $!a = 127; }; method foo { $!a.say; $!a = 128; $!a.say } }; my A $a .= new(); $a.foo; # is this behavior of assignment-to-sized considered specced?
p6eval rakudo 0f9703: OUTPUT«127␤-128␤»
skids Or is there the chance that eventually that will be an out-of-range error.
arnsholt Oh, right, that's true. In that case I guess it's more a case of implementing the VMArray REPR and friends 18:13
jnthn Yeah. Well, on JVM there is no equivalent to the Parrot RPA.
TimToady skids: there are use cases for both behaviors
jnthn Everything that's an object is a 6model object of some kind.
So what RPA does on Parrot is handled on JVM by something of VMArray REPR. 18:14
I think that's the way things should go in general.
TimToady but it seems to me that overflow checking is a more useful default unless you're doing cryptography or otherwise looking for blazing speed
arnsholt Yeah, that's definitely a good idea
skids TimToady: yes, and one could get the usefulness of the current behavior with an explicit coercion e.g. int8(128)
TimToady I've always thought of native types as something like subset types 18:15
in fact, various subset types could be optimized to native types
Ada does this all over the place
18:16 _jaldhar joined 18:17 jaldhar left
uvtc Why are there so many Synopses under the number 32? 18:19

moritz basically adding methods to a class after compose time doesn't propagate them down the inheritance chain
jnthn TimToady: 'cus it ain't smart enough to invalidate the method caches of its subclasses yet.
timotimo r
jnthn TimToady: Which in turn is because doing so by it knowing about all of its subclasses would mean we can never GC anonymous subclasses.
Which given it's the way we create mixins would probably be a worse bustage than the current one... 18:44
TimToady well, p5 just keeps a generation count on its cache, and just increments it to invalidate all the caches
doesn't work too badly unless you are continually changing your classes 18:45
jnthn Yeah, but method cache publication is under the control of the meta-object in p6.
TimToady then the meta objects would just have to agree amongst themselves, seems 18:46
jnthn So it wants a more explicit change-notification approach.
TimToady the generation check would be where you actually use the cache, at which point you could ask to have it reissued 18:48
jnthn Which, of course, needs its details figuring out, and implementing...
18:48 thou left
jnthn Yeah, designs where the interpreter has to go and ask for stuff get icky and are the path to nested runloops and the like. They're a last implementation resort, not a property of a good design, imho. 18:48

uvtc I'm somewhat curious to learn what the relationship is between Rakudo, Parrot, NativeCall, and ... what's the other piece... zavolaj? 19:17
arnsholt A very interesting yak shave, so I guess it doesn't quite qualify as a yak shave
NativeCall is zavolaj (because reasons)

arnsholt The module is called NativeCall, but the repo is jnthn/zavolaj

First round of compilation stage refactoring.

This separates the backend-independent stages from the backend-specific stages. The methods that relate to a backend's stages move into the Backend class.
A new :from(...) parameter to .compile enables various places that did their own stage visiting, because they had a non-source start point, to just use .compile instead, which is a pleasant cleanup.
Additionally, stage names are now properly validated.		 19:19

uvtc Is NativeCall (Zavolaj) primarily for C-library interop, or are there other compiled libraries with which it allows you to interoperate? 20:10
Whoops. N/m. Found S21. 20:12
TimToady the name "NativeCall" seems to presume that C calls are always "native" 20:14
benabik The C calling conventions is generally the "normal" way to call functions.
TimToady perhaps we could get them to rename C to Native
GlitchMr CeeCall? 20:15
TimToady it's not normal on a JVM :)
it's not normal on a Symbolics machine...
if it's calling by C conventions, it should really name C somehow
benabik I haven't seen anyone write C code that targets the JVM... 20:16
uvtc I get the impression that, on the JVM, the typical advice is, "erm, here, use this Java-equivalent".
GlitchMr Should it be even called NativeCall? 20:17

GlitchMr Interop is nice, but definitely not compatible between implementations. 20:17

TimToady I'm not suggesting feeding C to JVM, but I am suggesting that APIs should be named according to the thing they're APIing with 20:17

uvtc SeaCall, SeeCall (See Jane. See Jane run. See Jane call C-libraries.) 20:18
TimToady cc señor
uvtc hehe
GlitchMr The problem is that NativeCall claims to be portable when it isn't. 20:19
It should be CeeCall, or NativeCall(:lang<C>) or something.
skids I do occasionally get tempted to call a pure Perl6 implementation of something "native" based on the perspective that it's the native language of the program.

GlitchMr JavaNativeCall than
TimToady and anyway, there's supposed to be a syntax for importing from other languages that is none of these
see S11
GlitchMr Doesn't Rakudo have its nqp:: and pir::? 20:26
uvtc I do like the descriptive names for these, given that users may eventually be calling all sorts of compiled libs from Perl 6 (C, Go, Rust, Python extensions, whatever).
GlitchMr And Niecza CLR::? 20:27
jnthn GlitchMr: No the ENTIRE POINT of NativeCall is that modules can be written against it ONE TIME and then working on Rakudo on Parrot, Rakudo on JVM, etc. once NativeCall itself is ported.
If you go making it be called different things in different places we ruin that. 20:28
TimToady also, something feels factored wrong about specifying the shared lib name inside the native trait
skids It isn't a "language" thing so much as a "binary code object" thing -- what produced that code is beside the point. 20:29
jnthn skids: Exactly.
uvtc jnthn: (I'm clearly out of my depth here, but) would I then use NativeCall to call libs written in, say, Go?
TimToady I wasn't suggesting breaking that, only that if the point is to give an invariant access to the C ecosystem, it should have "C" somewhere in the name
GlitchMr Hmmm, but skids argument makes sense. GNU compiler collection can compile to lots of languages. 20:30
Most of them are already supported by NativeCall.
Like Fortran.
jnthn uvtc: Only if it produces things that match the ABI, which I think in the case of Go it does not.
GlitchMr compile lots of languages*
TimToady the fact that the C ecosystem of usually "native" is not guarateed to hold in the future
s/of/is/ 20:31
uvtc jnthn: thanks.
TimToady anyway, "Native" is a bad name for an ABI
skids Really then we are talking about the syntax surrounding the interface. What if we wanted a version of NativeCall with a Pascal-like look and feel versus C-like.
GlitchMr What about renaming NativeCall to FortranCall? 20:32
uvtc IndigenousCall /ducks :)
GlitchMr But seriously, what about ExternalCall? 20:33
TimToady GlitchMr: you have no idea what is external 20:34
GlitchMr Probably.
skids external could mean many things.
TimToady what if you're running in GoLand?
at least with a language name, you can look up to see if there's some mapping from the language name to what is typically the calling protocol on this platform 20:35
you're only hosed if there are two different Java's with different conventions
skids But simply saying "C" doesn't convey "load a dl" versus, say, "interpret a C source file live" 20:37
diakopter CABICall 20:38
(as a backend for NativeCall)
TimToady skids: "C" could probably figure that out from the file extensions, if it needed to, but certainly pulling things out of libraries would tend to be the default, since C is customarily precompiled 20:39
uvtc diakopter: Heh. If you squint, looks a bit like "Cabbie Call". :)
TimToady it comes back to pattern matching with sufficent specificity/genericity to do what you want 20:40
which we already have to worry about with 'use' statements
skids finds it amusing how "native" a-la "native code" and "foreign" a-la "foreign function interface" have managed to circle around to the same meaning.
TimToady 'use' is already (supposed to be) querying a database for official modules; adding search terms by language or ABI or library name is not a big stretch 20:41
skids: the question is who's to be master, that's all --Humpty Dumpty
skids had wondered earlier if the proposals about the runtime versioning system could be leveraged to handle dependencies on non-perl things from separately installed packages. 20:43
TimToady that's why S11 just adds more adverbials to 'use' for that, after all
timotimo you may be mast, but there's always someone master than you! 20:44
TimToady instead of 'is native("libfoo.so")' we should have a way to refer back to a particular set of import criteria declared by a 'use' 20:45
timotimo jnthn: is rakudo HEAD with NQP HEAD known to work?

jnthn On the NativeCall naming, API, etc - here's a way forward, so we don't have to argue this again. The NativeCall module will retain its current name, and continue using the trait to specify the library name.

timotimo one more obsolete bug resolved 21:54
uvtc thanks, skids .
What are the differences between arrays and lists in Perl 6? In Perl 5, I recall that lists are the runtime values, and arrays are those compile-time things with an at-sign sigil. And comma expressions can evaluate to a list in list context. 21:56
[Coke] wonders if there is a place to read about list, flattening etc. yet? 21:57
uvtc [Coke]: well, I'm working on writing up some "baby Perl 6" notes on it: www.unexpected-vortices.com/perl-6/...lists.html , but I need to learn it first. :) 21:59

uvtc Is this the customary way to write an array/list of arrays/lists: `[<a b c>], [<d e f>], [<g h i>]`? It seemed the Perl5ish way, but it works. 22:29
