moritz preflex: messages
preflex lue said 8 hours, 17 minutes and 11 seconds ago: the only file to differ between the two tarballs is <tarball>/MANIFEST, and *I think* it's just that the sorting of files in them is different. I also don't spot any files that only appear in one tarball.
lue said 8 hours, 11 minutes and 31 seconds ago: Just confirmed it's a simple case of the files being listed in a different order in the MANIFESTs. Note that this was *just* the top-level MANIFEST; the others were precisely the same between tarballs.

in last table.
I see q{ ("C<B<...>> Basis/focus of sentence (typically rendered bold)", "C<B<...>>", "Basis/focus of sentence (typically rendered bold)") } 07:45

maybe there ought to be a bit of extra text somewhere that shows that you need to do the $(...) thing in other contexts, too 12:54

21:09 jnap left
TimToady xenoterracide: longterm, we expect P6 to run faster than P5; shortterm, not so much... 21:10
21:13 gfldex joined
xenoterracide TimToady: although I imagine this is a very speculative question... and one asked a lot, is there any speculation on how long long term? like 1-2 years before it's on par? 21:13
had a side thought... I wonder how well it'd work p5 became a target vm of p6
TimToady that's one of those futures that will be unevenly distributed; it depends on what you're trying to do
timotimo i think in 2 years we'll have pretty decent performance 21:14
TimToady p5 hasn't got the internals to support p6 well
it it basically would have to emulate the type system, rather than using its native type system 21:15
this is why backporting smartmatching was not very successful 21:16
xenoterracide it's a thought similarly based around people thinking of having it compile to js
v8 is faster than p5 but not /that/ much I think
21:16 dayangkun joined
TimToady but v8 has a type system at a fundamental level that p5 is missing 21:17
21:17 raiph left
xenoterracide ah 21:17
TimToady p5 goes out of its way to smear the fundamental types
timotimo there would probably have to be at least as much trouble for running p6 on p5 as there is for running rakudo on parrot 21:18
TimToady merely using a number as a string means that P5 doesn't any longer know whether it is primarily a number pretending to be a string or a string pretending to be a number
clsn_ Doesn't p6 also sometimes treat numbers-that-look-like-strings differently from other strings?
TimToady only when coming from a medium that confuses them already 21:19
such as command-line args, or user input or the text of your program
xenoterracide TimToady: thanks, (gotta go celebrate the holidays)
TimToady nodnod
21:21 dayangkun left
TimToady in that sense, <1 2 3> is like «1 2 3» in kinda emulating command line args, just without the interpolation of the latter 21:21
21:21 dayangkun joined
timotimo TimToady: a regular my $foo = 10 won't give a int-str, but if you put < ... > around them it would 21:21
TimToady clsn_: but unlike p5, which just turns those all into a SvPVIV or whatever, p5 distinguishes Int from Str, and both of those from IntStr 21:23
clsn_ I see.
TimToady part of the more general design principle of p6, avoid accidental genericity
intention genericity is fine, and IntStr represents that
*tional
declaring a role is intentional genericity 21:24
so we know the code inside a role must be interpreted more than one way
but p5's multipass parsing is accidental genericity
so the compiler is itself never quite sure what language it's in 21:25
which is why p6 does one-pass parsing :)
21:25 xenoterracide left
timotimo TimToady: you wanted a "p6" instead of "p5" at the end of the last line starting with "clsn_:" 21:26

timotimo that's supposed to .Str back to 10_000_000 again rather than 10000000, right?
TimToady the presence of _ could be taken to mean an IntStr is desired, I suppose
well, if you really mean that...
