Index all listed native types

Currently tables don't support proper formatting, so we have to index things separately. It's LTA but it does the job.
It seems that the table is not full. There's a separate issue for it: #1511.
Hopefully resolves issue #372.		 00:15

Index everything on unicode_texas page

Resolves issue #1373.
This means that from now on some things may appear more than once in the search. We'll see how annoying it is. If it is, we can start removing symbols that are explained elsewhere (but note that a lot of things are only mentioned on unicode_texas page, so don't revert the whole commit).

AlexDaniel I hope doing stuff like this is going to help in a long run ↑ 01:21
I'm closing the old ticket and creating smaller, more manageable tickets
Also, tickets without 10+ comments look less scary for potential contributors
raschipi m: Any.exit(0) 01:33
camelia No such method 'exit' for invocant of type 'Any'. Did you mean 'emit'?
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
raschipi Why does the doc says that exit is a method of Any? 01:34
masak raschipi: which doc? 01:34
docs.perl6.org/type/Any#sub_exit ? 01:35
raschipi I see now that it says it's a sub, but why is it in there?
masak that was my reaction too -- why there? :)
is it some automatic tool's conclusion that it belongs somehow to Any? 01:36
because it doesn't, particularly
AlexDaniel create a ticket for it 01:37
masak I could sorta-kinda rationalize &item being defined there, but not &exit
AlexDaniel it's LTA indeed

AlexDaniel raschipi: sorry, I'm grumpy because of all reddit comments :)
raschipi Like you said, it's easier to go from texas to normal form, we just need to automate that. 02:01
AlexDaniel not in a destructive way, no 02:02
raschipi Sorry, you said to prefer "non-texas" and I read that as "texas"
my bad
I changed the reaction in github

raschipi AlexDaniel: It would be nice if the automatic style checkers could do the conversion automatically, because many will want to enforce one style or the other. Then we could easily ensure that the docs are uniform in style. 02:11

raschipi People thinking they can deprecate != will be overruled by TimToady. "It's prettier" is a perfectly valid and strong motivation in Perl6. 07:09
AlexDaniel raschipi: I wouldn't be so sure about this. ≠ is prettier, != not much 07:10
raschipi He went out of his way to add not only !=, but ne too. 07:11
lancew ≠ is prettier, harder to type tho. :-)
AlexDaniel lancew: either one key press more or as hard as typing != if we resolve these issues: github.com/vim-perl/vim-perl6/issues/8 github.com/perl6/atom-language-perl6/issues/72 github.com/perl6/perl6-mode/issues/14 07:12
raschipi Roast has plenty of tests to make sure they exist. 07:12
AlexDaniel hm, turns out I have ≠ on my layout 07:14
so ≠ is actually easier to type than != :S
AlexDaniel sure, it's my custom layout, but I haven't used ≠ directly since I created the layout… which was a few years ago 07:15

piojo2 titsuki: you wrote that the heredoc adverb isn't documented-- github.com/perl6/doc/issues/1102 10:31
But on the quoting constructs page, it's both in the adverbs list, and described in its own section. Should this be closed?
Aaronepower Hello, could someone explain why this grammar fails when I added '½' I thought `\d` would also catch those? paste.rs/Lms 10:45
lizmat m: dd "2½".uniprops 10:46
camelia ("Nd", "No").Seq
lizmat I think \d only matches the "Nd" property, not the No property
as in 2 is a digit, ½ is a number 10:47
Aaronepower lizmat: The documentation says Unicode N docs.perl6.org/language/regexes#Ba...er_classes 10:48
lizmat m: say "2½" ~~ /\d+/ # I'd say that was a bug in either the documentation or the core 10:49

El_Che it looks that we don't have to put much effort in trying to get rakudo to build on Solaris. With the layoff of the tech people, it looks like it's dead 12:59
moritz sad, it looked like a great piece of technology 13:00
with zones, dtrace and zfs
El_Che yeah, good memories 13:01
lizmat SunOS was my first unix-like system

I wrote a shitload of perl code for solaris :)
lizmat afk again& 13:07
piojo2 To edit a module that's installed with rakudobrew, what do I need to do? 13:27
I found the file (printed in a stack trace), but editing it does nothing. There must be a cached copy or cached bytecode somewhere
sena_kun You likely want to clone a repository of the module, make the edits and install it locally with zef. 13:28
piojo2 sena_kun: I'm more interested in quick and dirty editing. I don't need intend to install the result, just run it, learn a bit more, and undo all my dirty changes. 13:29
And add what I learn to a bug report so it can be fixed properly.
sena_kun maybe someone can point out better solution than mine. 13:30
piojo2 I saw in a stack trace: Actually thrown at: in code at homedir/.rakudobrew/moar-blead-nom/install/share/perl6/site/sources/338438A16791DC5A3816B1052C78248FFDAFFEAB (File::Find) line 43
but editing that file does nothing. Is rakudo caching bytecode, or is zef caching another copy of the file (which I could delete)? 13:31
sena_kun You can use module without installing it. Like, clone the source, cd into the directory, then run `perl6 -Ilib` and try what you want. Changes you'll be doing in the clonned repository will be reflected this way.
piojo2 sena_kun: that will work, thanks 13:32
I just wish this weren't so opaque
sena_kun I am not an expert in precompiling stuff, though, so maybe there's a better way.

jdv79 oh, it is already - rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=127772
piojo2 Was something changed in the way try/CATCH is implemented that makes "try" mandatory?
Everything I read says it's optional, but now I'm encountering code that fails without the explicit "try { }" block 14:02
sena_kun: thanks for helping me run that, BTW 14:03
sena_kun no problem. cannot explain why it runs that way though.
piojo2 something is wrong with CATCH 14:03
tadzik: in File::Find, line 45, CATCH isn't working. But I'm not sure it's a Find bug, since it works if it's surrounded with "try { }" 14:08
Aaronepower How do you match any number in regex? Including fractions like ½? 14:31

Aaronepower MasterDuke: What does :Nd cover?
MasterDuke lizmat++ mentioned ^^^ after you left
Aaronepower Why is that better than just N
MasterDuke might be the same 14:35
the are sometime slight differences between the unicode classes and some of the built in Perl 6 classes 14:36
Aaronepower Is there any way to convert '1½' to 1.5 in perl6?
MasterDuke m: say '1½'.comb>>.unival>>.sum 14:38
camelia (1 0.5)
MasterDuke m: say ('1½'.comb>>.unival).sum
camelia 1.5
TimToady m: say ('42½'.comb>>.unival).sum 14:39
camelia 6.5
TimToady Aaronepower: are you asking for this as part of the language? 14:40
Aaronepower TimToady: Well I was wondering since Perl6 has great unicode support I figured it would be smart enough to handle this too. 14:41
TimToady we considered it :)
Aaronepower TimToady: Why was it rejected?
TimToady just seems like kind of a low-leverage feature 14:41
and modules will happen :) 14:42
Aaronepower TimToady: What do you mean low-leverage?
TimToady doesn't get you a large advantage anywhere else
Aaronepower TimToady: True, but text processing is a huge part of Perl6 so it gives a huge boon to that area. 14:43
piojo2 2² does work, though
TimToady that's more useful generally 14:44
piojo2 I agree
I'm just pointing out that it's the same category of functionality--copy/pasting math from the internet, mostly
TimToady ya gotta draw the line somewhere, and this where seems about as good as any
piojo2 I don't think this falls under the umbrella of text processing.
for this to be text processing, that would imply you're running EVAL on random input :) 14:45
Aaronepower piojo2: No I'm using it for parsing out times and measurements from a document.
TimToady most uses of vulgar fractions are as multpliers or constants, very few as int+frac
but then that's not using it within the language
that's using it on a different language 14:46
piojo2 Aaronepower: I stand corrected. Interpreting as int != EVAL. Don't know why I was thinking that.
err, number. not int.
Aaronepower Where is documentation on writing grammar failures? 14:50
zakame hello I/ 14:55
piojo2 Aaronepower: Like generating error messages in the grammar?
grammar Foo { token TOP { <int> +% ',' || { die "need a number" } }; token int { \d+ } }
Aaronepower piojo2: I heard there was a method to do it though?
piojo2 Aaronepower: Sorry, I don't know 14:56
Aaronepower piojo2: Ah found it. `method FAILGOAL($goal) { die "cannot find $goal near position {self.pos}" }` 14:57
gfldex Aaronepower: FAILGOAL is not specced, what may or may not be intentional. 15:04
Aaronepower gfldex: So it doesn't work?
gfldex Aaronepower: it may very well work but may be an implementation detail of Rakudo. 15:05
Aaronepower gfldex: It didn't do anything
gfldex right now there is no way to hide or mark internals 15:06

moritz Aaronepower: your problem is that neither 'hr' nor 'hrs' matches 'hour' 18:50
Aaronepower moritz: No, the problem is that error isn't reported. 18:51
I know they don't match, that's why I'm trying to build something that will report those errors.
moritz Aaronepower: then you need something like [ <unit> || <.expect('unit') ] 18:52
Aaronepower moritz: From your Grammar::ErrorReporting examples it seems to just work with nothing like that.
moritz Aaronepower: the ~ parser combinator that the example uses introduces something like that implicitly 18:54
Aaronepower: but I guess I should make the docs more explicit
(the module is a by-product from my work-in-progress book on Perl 6 regexes, so I don't have much experience with giving it to people without them reading the book :D)
moritz Aaronepower: the main point of the module is to provide a more fancy "expect" method; you still have to call it yourself 18:56
Aaronepower moritz: Why `.expect` a lot of examples do simply `expect` 18:57
moritz: Also it says there is no expect method.
moritz Aaronepower: it's called "error" in the module, sorry 18:58

doesn't mattter much if you include it or not
Aaronepower moritz: Okay, thanks! 19:00
rindolf Oh God! I am having an argument with a stubborn old timer on Facebook chat why he should not spell Perl as "PERL" and he keeps making up smart rationalisations 19:11
BooK rindolf: is it worth the effort? 19:13
maybe we need some PERL6 / Perl6 / perl6 (also, spacing!) discussion in the FAQ ;-) 19:15
rindolf BooK: there is one in learn.perl.org/faq/perlfaq1.html#W...l-and-Perl 19:17
BooK: he seems stubborn 19:18
geekosaur it's not worth the effort
rindolf geekosaur: i guess
Aaronepower moritz: Hey, if you have another second I'm having a problem where the grammar doesn't seem to like just one time-op I thought `<time-op>+` would mean to stop parsing if it can't get any more?
rindolf geekosaur: educated idiots are the worst 19:19
geekosaur he probably learned it as "Practical Extraction and Report Language" even though that's a retcon
(he's probably too old to get "retcon" too :p ) 19:20
rindolf comes up with backronyms for PYTHON, RUBY, GO, RUST... 19:24
Geth doc/master: 5 commits pushed by (Will "Coke" Coleda)++ 19:25
moritz Aaronepower: is anything parsing the whitespace between the <time-op> matches?
geekosaur ask him if he has one for FORTRAN :p (this is admittedly a pathological case)
Aaronepower moritz: Nope
geekosaur: Really Underrated Sane Types 19:27
moritz Aaronepower: perlpunks.de/paste/show/59ac578f.26f2.e0 seems to work both with two and with one <time-op>
Aaronepower: so I don't think I understand your problem
geekosaur I think you meant rindolf there
pmurias rindolf: doesn't the "It's not an acronym" win the discussion? 19:28
Aaronepower moritz: Here's my current grammar and Tracer output. paste.rs/FC8 19:29
geekosaur if he's old enough, he remembers the original perl 3 manpage which proudly announced "perl - Practical Extraction and Report Language" and it stuck
teatime I think I remember something in the camel book about that 19:31
and how it's not called 'pearl' so that can't be it
or something
rindolf pmurias: no 19:35
[Coke] ff0 19:42
Aaronepower Could anyone explain why this grammar fails with just one <time-op>? paste.rs/9Zl 19:46
geekosaur Aaronepower, I think this is a gotcha. TOP has to match the end of input as well; if it doesn't, use subparse instead 19:48
Aaronepower geekosaur: What's the character for EOF?
geekosaur actually I think I am confused, sorry 19:49
hm, yeh, I am thinkin g of the opposite case. sorry 19:50
moritz Aaronepower: your paste is useless without showing the input string as well 19:52
Aaronepower moritz: It does show an input string?
moritz Aaronepower: I see no call .parse or anything
Aaronepower moritz: Sorry, the one I posted later does have it. paste.rs/9Zl
moritz Aaronepower: ok, the problem is this: token digit { <:N>+ || <.error('Incorrect digit')>} 19:54
time-op calls digit
raschipi rindolf: Is he talking about Pumpking Perl or Rakudo Perl?
moritz and so after the end of the first match, time-op is called again
with the current position being the end of the string 19:55
rindolf raschipi: who?
moritz and so <:N>+ fails, and so the <.error(...)> branch is taken
Aaronepower moritz: Okay sure I get that.
rindolf raschipi: my correspondent? 19:56
raschipi yep
moritz Aaronepower: so the insight is that <digit> failing can part of a successful regex match
rindolf raschipi: it started by this tweet of mine - twitter.com/shlomif/status/904389198370807809 19:57
moritz Aaronepower: you might want to prefex the error branch with <?before \S> or something like that
moritz rindolf: this looks very much like Perl 5, and thus off-topic here 19:57
rindolf: please keep Perl 5 discussions to Perl 5 channels
Aaronepower moritz: What does that do exactly?
rindolf moritz: ok 19:58
moritz Aaronepower: it only triggers if there is another non-whitespace character in the string
rindolf moritz: the discussion was about both perls/Perls
moritz rindolf: that was not clear from anything you wrote here, and you have a history of bringing perl 5 topics to #perl6 19:59
Aaronepower moritz: So it would be `<?.error('Incorrect digit')\S>`?
rindolf moritz: sorry!
moritz Aaronepower: no, token digit { <:N>+ || <?before \S> <.error('Incorrect digit')>}
Aaronepower moritz: Oh, what is `before`?
moritz Aaronepower: a look-ahead 20:00
Geth doc/rafaelschipiura-patch-1: d65d2db6dd | rafaelschipiura++ (committed using GitHub Web editor) | doc/Language/variables.pod6
Update variables.pod6
moritz Aaronepower: the other option is to move the error reporting out of rule digit
Aaronepower: and write something like [ <digit> | $ || <.error('incorrect digit')> ] where you call it
Geth doc/rafaelschipiura-patch-1: cac120bac5 | rafaelschipiura++ (committed using GitHub Web editor) | doc/Language/variables.pod6
Update variables.pod6
 20:01
moritz which explicitly allows $ (end of string) to be an option
hm, but then that you try to parse a unit next... not such a good idea
Aaronepower moritz: Is there any way to say like `<time-op>+ | $ || <.error>`? 20:04
moritz Aaronepower: it'd need to be [ <time-op> | $ || <.error> ]+ 20:05
Aaronepower moritz: Hmm, that didn't seem to solve it. 20:07
geekosaur mrf. tried to set up to run that but can't install that module, zef throws errors. I just updated 2 days ago so I'd think I was reasonably current... 20:08
(also got caught up elsewhere) 20:09
Aaronepower geekosaur: You just have to --force-install
geekosaur: `--force-test` sorry
moritz Aaronepower: then use the <?before> stuff. I'm too tired right now to come up with something else that actually works :/ 20:13
Aaronepower moritz: Alright, Thanks for your help!
moritz: Though that doesn't seem to work either. 20:15
raschipi I'm about to bring up a topic that led to a flame war in p5-porters but that is relevant to P6. I'm guessing it's better to bring it up now instead of waiting before people get strong opinions on it. 20:26
After 6.d is released, modules will still be expected to be written in 6.c, right? There will be many users stuck in older Rakudos... 20:27
nine raschipi: I'm not sure that kind of problem is as pronounced as in Perl 5. 20:34
mst certainly I'd say it should be expected that a module would change its major version if changing which version of the spec it's coded to 20:36
nine raschipi: that said, there's no reason to write code in 6.d if it doesn't help. So if you need one of 6.d's features (and there aren't _that_ many), you will not have much of a choice and if you don't, than you won't have much of a reason.
raschipi What would happen if a module is rewritten in 6.d and I'm stuck in a rakudo that doesn't support it? How is it mitigated?
mst raschipi: you'd specify a version from before the rewrite and everything would be fine
raschipi Right, my code can be written in 6.d, but the compiler cant understand the module. 20:37
6.c rather
timotimo same problem if your module relies on a rakudo bug being fixed 20:51
raschipi right, for Pumpking perl they decided to support older Perls going back 10 years. Will a similar expectation for Rakudo exist? 20:54
Setting that also allowed module authors to NOT support Perls even older than that...
perigrin timotimo: slightly different because perl6 has a spec and an underlying version 20:56
where in perl5 they're tightly bound (because no spec)
so in theory a Rakudo that supports 6.z could see that the code-scope was written for 6.m and swtich it's behavior to be backwards compatible 20:58
raschipi Right, I agree that being forward-compatible is a solved problem, unlike in P5. The problem is for people with a Rakudo that only supports 6.m. 21:00
perigrin raschipi: well and "this is 6.c but you really want a rakudo 2018.03 or later because it fixed a bug in Unicode handling" 21:01
raschipi Right, I would understand requiring people to upgrade if there's a strong enough reason for it. I'm just asking if the expectations are the same in P6 as in P5. 21:03
perigrin raschipi: but short of a causality violating micro-processor I dont' think you can solve "I wrote this code for compatiblity with things you hadn't yet dreamt of"
specifically to answer that question: I don't think so but only as a side-effect of Perl6 code not being more than 2-3 years old at best right now
Where I suspect at least one fortune 500 company was still shipping perl4 binaries because they had a production script that didn't run on >= perl5.0 21:05
raschipi Like I said, I'm just bringing this topic right now because it isn't that important right now. But ee should try to think ahead to avoid flame wars in the future.
rindolf perigrin: nasty 21:14
pmurias raschipi: what expectations are you asking about? if module authors are expected to support old rakudo or if new rakudos are expected to support old modules? 21:15
BooK also, isn't the assumption about not being able to upgrade an old version of the language compiler but still wanting to install a library/program written for the latest version? 21:18
at some point, people have to decide the era they live in, I guess
although, having tried and failed to run some stuff with a very old version of mod_perl on modern platform/compiler, I must say that stuff is hard sometimes 21:19
but that's probably the opposite problem
perigrin BooK: take that fortune 500 company, they litterally had the warranty run out on their new Data Center hardware by the time the new Data Center had been approved for them to move into 21:22
they moved from 5.6.1 to 5.8.8 while I was there ... and that move was painful enough that I'm not sure they've moved off of 5.8.8 since.
unless somethign catastrophic happened in the last 10 years to that new DC. 21:23
rindolf perigrin: how large was that codebase?
perigrin In the interim people need to solve bugs, and they need to write new applications that run along side the existing applications that are earning (in this case millions of dollars) revenue
rindolf: half a million lines? somethign like that 21:24
rindolf perigrin: ah, i see
BooK yeah, reality is much more complex that we would like it to be
rindolf perigrin: quite large
[Coke] I can verify that it is hard for companies to keep upgrading stuff that is otherwise working.
perigrin rindolf: and old, by the time I was there it was at least a decade old ... and ran 24/7
rindolf perigrin: so it was poorly written? 21:25
perigrin: ah
perigrin not especially no, just in constant use
with very tight tolerances for downtime
rindolf perigrin: ah
perigrin case in point split /\|/ slowed down sometime around 5.8.1 ... that fact combined with a single bad row of data cost them several hundred thousand dollars one week when a cycle ended up running a minute longer than the tolerance 21:26
ddd_ hello
someone here? 21:27
rindolf ddd_: hi
ddd_: sup?
perigrin: wow
perigrin shrugs
I have a strong appreciation for no longer working in Corporate IT :)
raschipi To get the good customers that pay very well, modules should support old rakudo versions. 21:28
rindolf perigrin: what do you do now?
perigrin freelance / contractor
rindolf ddd_: how may we prove of help?
perigrin: ah 21:29
ddd_ can i ask something? 21:30
rindolf ddd_: sure 21:31
BooK don't ask to ask :-) 21:32
ddd_ I got a small project on the job that needs to run with the perl .. so far I have never worked with it in my life :D .. my question is if it is possible to make a form with two buttons that would call sub function from the perl and that output must be printed under the buttons without reload 21:36
i know my qust is stupid :S
rindolf ddd_: use AJAX or websockets or whatever
raschipi ddd_: Yes, it is possible.
rindolf ddd_: using JS 21:37
rindolf ddd_: do you want to use perl 6 or perl 5? 21:37
ddd_ perl 6 21:38
rindolf ddd_: ok
ddd_: then maybe look at bailador.net/
[Coke] also cro.services/ 21:39
ddd_ Is it possible to do this with a gci script? #.# 21:42
or it must be mvc?
pmurias raschipi: isn't modules support old rakudo versions something that makes more sense once rakudo is adopted by users more?
perigrin ddd_: gci? 21:43
ddd_ I mean cgi 21:44
perigrin heh
raschipi pmurias: right, I don't think anyone will adopt the rakudo versions in stable distros right now. Anyone starting will get a recent version.
pmurias is that agreement or sarcasm? 21:46
;)
perigrin ddd_: it's possible, but I don't think there is documentation for it. Also if you're doing a dyanmic page like that you'll be better off with something persistent on the backend IMO 21:47
ddd_ it should be to upload xml and check if file is okey and print the errors immediately on the same page #.#
okey :) @perigrin 21:48
rindolf Good night, everyone 22:12
ddd_: good luck
AlexDaniel hm, there's some after-effect from the squashathon :) 22:13
pmurias AlexDaniel: what's that? 22:14
AlexDaniel pmurias: people are contributing more than they did before the squashathon, but the squashathon is over 22:15
Aaronepower Could anyone explain why this grammar fails with just one <time-op>, how do I get it to recognise it is at the end of the input? paste.rs/9Zl 22:16
ddd_ gn people 22:20
AlexDaniel Aaronepower: hello 22:26
Aaronepower AlexDaniel: Hello.
AlexDaniel Aaronepower: okay, so it matches <time-op> once just fine 22:27
Aaronepower: and then, because of “+”, it attempts to match it again
Aaronepower: <time-op> goes into <digit>
Aaronepower AlexDaniel: I get that, I just thought by `one or more` it'd give up gracefully after it failed.
AlexDaniel Aaronepower: and it fails it <digit> because essentially it's at the end of the input
Aaronepower: correct, but you explicitly die in token digit { } 22:28
Aaronepower AlexDaniel: Well how do you say " give me one or more time-ops and once you have one it's fine if there's no more". 22:29
AlexDaniel Aaronepower: either remove calls to .error in token and unit or use something like [<!before $> <time-op>]+ 22:31
Aaronepower AlexDaniel: The latter works perfectly thank you. Can you explain the `<!before $>`? 22:32
timotimo the "parse this || die invalid stuff" is usually only good if you have something in front that guarantees the stuff after it has to be there
timotimo like having matched a "foo(" but never finding a ")" is a clear problem 22:33
AlexDaniel Aaronepower: maybe this will explain it better than I can: docs.perl6.org/language/regexes#in...assertions 22:35
jdv79 .tell moritz surely it can be fixed. ill try. 23:14
yoleaux jdv79: I'll pass your message to moritz.
Aaronepower Is there a tool for generating module layouts like cargo for Rust? 23:53
raschipi mi6?
Aaronepower raschipi: mi6? 23:54
gfldex github.com/gfldex/perl6-meta6-bin
raschipi github.com/skaji/mi6 23:55
Aaronepower raschipi: Thank you this is what I needed. 23:58
