buggable [travis build above] ☠ Did not recognize some failures. Check results manually. 02:45
shinobi-cl hi all :) I got this problem: I have this array: (1,2,3,10,11,12). I want to create two from this list, grouping consecutive sets 05:32
myfunc(1,2,3,10,11,12) returns (1,2,3),(10,11,12)
the list is always made from positive integers 05:34
made of*
lookatme m: say (1,2,3,10,11,12).rotor(3); # you mean this ? 05:40
camelia ((1 2 3) (10 11 12))
shinobi-cl well... almost 05:41
m: say (1,2,3,4,10,11,12).rotor(3);
camelia ((1 2 3) (4 10 11))
shinobi-cl m: my @a = (1,2,3,10,11,12); my $low = @a.min; my $high = @a.max; my @cutter = ($low .. $high); say @a <</>> @cutter; 05:41
camelia [1 1 1 2.5 2.2 2 0.142857 0.25 0.333333 1 1 1]
shinobi-cl the idea is to identify the "gaps", in this case, when <> 1, and cut there until we find the other "1"s... or something like this 05:43
shinobi-cl of course i could do it just googling (or stackoverflowing? :) ) or taking examples from other languages, but maybe perl6 has a cooler way to do it :) 05:47
lookatme shinobi-cl, so you want find the continuous digits sequence not equal 1 ? 06:13
shinobi-cl m: my @a = (1,2,3,10,11,12,14,16,17,18); my $i = 1; my $last = shift @a; my %sets; push %sets{$i}, $last; for @a -> $v { if ($v != $last + 1) { $i++; }; $last = $v; push %sets{$i}, $v;}; say %sets.perl;
camelia {"1" => $[1, 2, 3], "2" => $[10, 11, 12], "3" => $[14], "4" => $[16, 17, 18]}
shinobi-cl this, but more perl6-ish :) 06:14
not necessarily in a hash, it could be (1,2,3),(10,11,12),(14),(16,17,18). I dont really need the hash keys, just identify "blocks" of contiguous integers 06:15
lookatme oh I see 06:16
lookatme not have any good idea shinobi-cl 06:30
shinobi-cl i think the rotor you mentioned might be the solution.... I'm looking into that now 06:33
shinobi-cl m: say (1,2,4,5).rotor(2 => -1); 06:42
camelia ((1 2) (2 4) (4 5))
lookatme shinobi-cl, but the rotor is not flexible 07:02
shinobi-cl m: my %block; my Int $i = 1; (1,2,4,5,6,7,9,11,12,13).rotor(2 => -1).map: { push %block{$i}, $_[0]; ($_[1] == $_[0] + 1) ?? push %block{$i}, $_[1] !! $i++ }; say %block.perl; 07:03
camelia {"1" => $[1, 2, 2], "2" => $[4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7], "3" => $[9], "4" => $[11, 12, 12, 13]}
shinobi-cl i think i'm getting close :) 07:03
lookatme I don't think its better than the usual way
Hmm, that's a better way to iterate the elements
m: my %block; my Int $i = 1; (1,2,4,5,6,7,9,11,12,13).rotor(2 => -1).map: { %block{ ($_[1] == $_[0] + 1) ?? $i !! $i++ }.push($_[0]) }; say %block.perl; 07:09
camelia {"1" => $[1, 2], "2" => $[4, 5, 6, 7], "3" => $[9], "4" => $[11, 12]}
Xliff_ Missing 13
m: my %block; my Int $i = 1; (1,2,4,5,6,7,9,11,12,13).rotor(2 => -1, :partial).map: { %block{ ($_[1] == $_[0] + 1) ?? $i !! $i++ }.push($_[0]) }; say %block.perl;
camelia Use of Nil in numeric context

lookatme :) yeah, should add the adv 07:10
I mean the named argument
Xliff_ m: my %block; my Int $i = 1; (1,2,4,5,6,7,9,11,12,13).rotor(2 => -1, :partial).map: { %block{ ($_[1] == $_[0] + 1) ?? $i !! $i++ }.push($_[0]) }; 07:11

shinobi-cl niiiiice, phasers are great :) 07:45
shinobi-cl thanks lookatme++ for suggesting the rotor method 07:46
lookatme YW shinobi-cl 07:47
lookatme But I think it's not elegant than the normal way :) 07:48

kuerbis Hello, is my interpretation of this code right: "my $t = @a[0..2];" does not copying, not creating a new list?

melezhik I need to run a series of system commands one by one asyncronously and to be able fetch, keep track of stdout/stder from those commands 10:13
how can I do this? 10:14
jnthn Just in terms of builtins: Proc::Async. I think there's a module (something like Proc::Q) that may help also
El_Che wouldn't channels be useful?
jnthn Not obviously :) 10:15
El_Che he's using perl6, so obviously is a relative thing :)
jnthn I mean, I've done lots of async process juggling in Perl 6 and nearly never reached for a Channel :) 10:15
El_Che jnthn: that said, you're an async man 10:16
:)
melezhik jnthn, El_Che - thanks guys, will try Proc:Q first )) 10:24

AlexDaniel El_Che: ↑ this is not a blocker in rakudo terms, but I think samcv decided to look at it before the release 10:39
El_Che AlexDaniel: it tells me "there is some stuff left and right that need fixing first. Come again later" :)
samcv AlexDaniel: yeah i fixed it locally and should do the release tomorrow. and i fixed <:space> for real 10:40
which is pretty nice as well

pmurias do we support negate not-zerowidth literals? 10:45
AlexDaniel pmurias: probably <-[n]> <-[o]> <-[t]> 11:02
not that I know of at least. That's if I understood the question correctly
jnthn No, there's no negated literal syntax 11:03
Though if you need it it's available as <!before 'foo'> ...
(And if we ever got such a syntax, it's probably just compile into that too) 11:04
samcv pmurias: i fixed the <:space> text btw. you (i think it may be you) fudged it for js. well it's not puhed it. i will push tomorrow 11:10
moritz 11:45 < pmurias> do we support negate not-zerowidth literals? 11:52
moritz the question is always what people actually *want* when they want to negate a regex, or a literal 11:53
*any* string that isn't the literal? any string that doesn't start with the literal?
any string that doesn't contain the literal?
any string where no character matches the literal (but a zero-width string would match that too)? 11:54
jnthn True :) 11:55
I guess all of those are more clearly written with things we already do have :)
jkramer Is the order of pairs in hashes/bags/... still randomized like in P5? 11:56
moritz potentially, yes 11:57

timotimo 76:#define MVM_REPR_ID_P6bigint 20 12:31
that's reprid 20 12:32
timotimo ok, with all the right versions i get that error, too 12:34
so maybe bumping nqp and moar would help
timotimo so, the explosion happens in Baggy.pm in the pull-one method. since it's trying to get a bigint from something, and the only bigint op in there is nqp::sub_I($!todo, 1, Int), i'd assume that $!todo wasn't initialized properly? 12:36
lizmat hmmm looks like there's a decont missing somewhere ?
yeah, investigating that
timotimo hm, you need to decont that, huh? 12:36
maybe
timotimo doesn't explain why it doesn't explode with newer nqp&moar :) 12:41
piojo1 Is there any reason Mix doesn't support .pick, or is it that nobody had time to implement it yet? 12:50
player Hi. What's the analogue of break <label> in Perl 6? 'last' seems to exit from the innermost loop
piojo1 player: there's a label example here: docs.perl6.org/language/control#LABELs
timotimo i think we do have last + label
pmurias El_Che: what are they moving towards? 12:51
piojo1 m: say (a => 0.97, b => 0.03).Mix.pick;
camelia .pick is not supported on a Mix
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
timotimo piojo1: it's because mix supports non-integral weights, and pick is supposed to remove an item it picked from the mix
piojo1 timotimo: I think that's .grab, not .pick 12:52
timotimo no, grab is pick but also modifies the original object
m: <a a a b c>.pick(10).say
camelia (a a b c a)
timotimo you see how i ask for 10, but only get 5?
piojo1 timotimo: ahh, thanks. I should have been using .roll for what I wanted 12:53
timotimo the error message on the mix should probably point that out 12:54

scimon (Turns out my attempt to not read this was failing dismally. So I figured I might as well log in again). Hi. 13:00
lizmat scimon o/ 13:01
El_Che pmurias: I am under the impression that Python got a firm foot in science (although at a course I followed they stressed that you'll end up writing a lot of C) and related fields. While it seemed to be losing web developement en devop stuff (microservices and the like)
scimon: welcome back
scimon I'm seeing a lot of places still using python for web dev but node is getting a large mind share. 13:02
(Frankly I think that's weird because it's a horrible language for a lot of back end stuff. Async DB interaction is just a pain IMO)
El_Che scimon: it's still there (as is Ruby), buy my very-personal-impression is a trend 13:03
scimon: we have big python people at $work contemplating leaving python and move to php7 for web stuff
scimon: grain of salt of course, anecdotical at best
scimon I think a plus point at the moment is the rise of devops and containers. Where you have teams being able to pick their own tools that they have to support things can change. 13:04
php7?
Urgggh.
El_Che it's also the impression I get at FOSDEM. Ruby is bleeding badly, Python seem to be over the top
scimon: php7 got a lot of stuff right (according to them)
scimon Ah well. I am possibly guilty of reacting to PHP that way many people react to Perl. 13:05
3 years doing PHP development is enough for me.
El_Che it seems to have becomed fast 13:06
if so, cheers for the php devs
scimon Well done them.
I might even take a look.
lizmat github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/7361fe2b6d # piojo1
El_Che I had a look last week on how to containerized their projects
piojo1 thanks lizmat! I confess I don't understand the cause, so I can't offer an opinion on the "magic" :) 13:12

jnthn Is there a test added to cover it also?
Zoffix jkramer: as far as the language is concerned: yes hashes/maps/setties/baggies/mixies are randomized, but .say/.print/.perl output them in sorted order.
lizmat jnthn: not yet afaik
Zoffix jkramer: there's still a ticket for the latter part RT#131244 13:17

Zoffix and if that fails `grep -FIRn SOME_TERM`
piojo1: github.com/perl6/roast/

Zoffix piojo1: if you run `make spectest` in rakudo's checkout, it'll automatically clone roast into t/spec
piojo1 I just discovered ag. It's a little faster than ack :)

if so, maybe lizmat can help
lizmat eh... I have no idea :) 13:46
timotimo i already disconnected my accounts from the "sharing" page in the wordpress site settings
Zoffix timotimo: based on this, if this is the plugin you use, you'd just remove the username here: cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/0...7Iw2fx.jpg ?
timotimo i don't have that entry in my settings drowdpon 13:47
aha!
there's a "sharing" entry there where i put the twitter username at some point 13:48
so should i put in a different username?
Zoffix @perl6org ? 13:49
timotimo that was my first thought, too
oh, wow. the views are *way* up today 13:50

lizmat yeah, I guess I'm going to have me a login after all 13:56
El_Che be careful not to get burnt out
Zoffix Heh :) I briefly looked at the comments; looks like the majority are by the marketing and branding experts telling core devs to give up :)
El_Che lizmat: I got a reddit login since yesterday :) 13:57
lizmat yeah, the irony wasn't lost on me :-)
jnthn Heh, so first it was "Perl 6 is vaporware", then it was "Perl 6 still isn't released yet", and now it's "can't you just give up?" Dammit, even naysayers ain't what they used to be. :P 14:03
Zoffix :) 14:04
moritz now they are "time to recognize that the cost is sunk" 14:11

piojo1 lizmat: I PR'd a test. I couldn't manage to run it with "fudgeandrun", so I ran it as "perl6 t/.../whatever.t". I'm not sure if that's wrong, but I'm on Windows, so I'm used to things not working. 14:14
lizmat piojo1: thanks 14:15
(shouldn't we see a notice of that PR here ?)
piojo1 that's what I thought!
maybe it needs to wait for tests to run
oh, Zoffix merged it really fast! 14:17
Thanks :)
timotimo oh, we're still putting stuff into master? 14:24
it's too late for the udp datagram class, though, i'm sure
[Coke] timotimo: on roast? yes?
yoleaux 21 Jan 2018 11:18Z <tbrowder> [Coke]: I sent the CLA via snail mail (USPS) to the address on the form.
El_Che timotimo: if you don't tell, I won't either
timotimo haha
[Coke]: there was a fix to rakudo/master on top of the roast commit 14:25
Zoffix piojo1: yeah I merged; the notifications for roast/rakudo/nqp/MoarVM repos are only in #perl6-dev 14:26
-1 on merging datagram stuff right now. Let the release happen. It's already $n days late :| 14:27
timotimo right
after all, i'm not happy with the API yet
and haven't written a single test, nor even ran the spectest we already have ;)
piojo1 Time to go. Thanks for the tips about testing :) 14:29
player Where are modules installed by Zef are stored? Someone suggested .perl6, but I didn't find modules in it. 14:30
timotimo you can ask zef to "locate" a module for you

jnthn zef locate Some::Module::Name
player I'm sorry, Zoffix, I didn't notice your post last time.
jkramer Hmm I ran into a problem here. I need to append lots of elements to an already huge array. I'd like to just $a.append($b), but .append wants a slip or whatever it's called, not an array. If I do $a.append(|$b) however, P6 dies with "Too many arguments in flattening array." 14:33
jnthn What is $b?
jkramer Do I need to push each element individually?
$b is an Array
jnthn @$b 14:34
timotimo m: my $a = [1, 2, 3]; my $b = [9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9]; $a.append($b); say $a
camelia [1 2 3 [9 9 9 9 9 9]]
timotimo m: my $a = [1, 2, 3]; my $b = [9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9]; $a.append($b.list); say $a
camelia [1 2 3 9 9 9 9 9 9]
timotimo right
jnthn Things are generally neater if using the @ sigil for arrays :)
player Zoffix, and where precompiled modules are installed?
timotimo m: my $a = [1, 2, 3]; my $b = |[9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9] xx 100000; $a.append($b.list); say $a
camelia [1 2 3 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 ...]
jkramer Weird, what does @ change? Doesn't it just add a type-constraint to Array or List or something? 14:36
timotimo in this case it just puts .list at the end 14:37
much like $@foo will be @foo.item
Zoffix player: why? What are you trying to accomplish? 14:38
jkramer: your arrays is conted, so it gets treated as one item. See perl6advent.wordpress.com/2017/12/...oneandonly

jkramer Zoffix: Yeah I know, I was just wondering why Array.append wouldn't accept another Array as argument :) 14:44
Zoffix player: `zef locate` gives you SHA id of the distro, with full path to the source file. The binary precomp file is in adjacent directory with the same SHA id: gist.github.com/zoffixznet/f0083de...a8717e792e
m: my @a; @a.append: [<a b c>]; dd @a
camelia Array @a = ["a", "b", "c"]
Zoffix jkramer: it does accept it.
m: my @a; @a.append: $[<a b c>]; dd @a
camelia Array @a = [["a", "b", "c"],] 14:45
Zoffix ^ there you're saying "Append one item, an Array object". Not "append items in this array"
"Eat a bag of apples" vs. "bring me a bag of apples". In the former, you're acting on the contents, in the latter you're acting on the single item: the container of other items 14:46
Zoffix m: my @a; my $b = [<a b c>]; @a.append: $b; @a.append: @$b; @a.append: $b.cache; @a.append: $b.list; @a.append: $b<>; @a.append: $b.self; dd @a 14:49
camelia Array @a = [["a", "b", "c"], "a", "b", "c", "a", "b", "c", "a", "b", "c", "a", "b", "c", "a", "b", "c"] 14:49
Zoffix And ^ there are various ways of remove it from the scalar container, so that its contents are worked on rather than the array itself, as a single item
jkramer Hmm I see
It does make some sense :) 14:50
titsuki .seen krunen 14:51
yoleaux I saw krunen 9 Jan 2016 16:24Z in #perl6: <krunen> [Coke]: (re moving Rakudo release tags) I thought I only said it was talked about at some point, but confused discussion happened. Sorry.
[Coke] O_o; 14:53
Zoffix That was the Great Moved Tag rumor during 2015 Christmas. That our release was so crap we supposedly had to move the tag. 14:54
ZofBot: good times! 14:55
ZofBot Zoffix, Haven't seen it crash at all here
[Coke] Yah, i was there. :)
Zoffix :)
[Coke] I still have no idea how that got started.
moritz I had to move a tag once, because I had mixed up some numbers. But that was years before the 2015 Christmas release 15:11
jkramer Is there something nicer/shorter than this for take a range from an array without knowing if it's withing its bounds? $foo[4..^96].grep(*.defined) 15:12
buggable New CPAN upload: P5lcfirst-0.0.1.tar.gz by ELIZABETH cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/E/EL/...0.1.tar.gz
jkramer I just want the elements in that range that exist, not a bunch of undefined values. But grepping the result seems inefficient 15:13
[Coke] note that you can have an undefined value in an interior position as well. 15:14
moritz $foo.tail(-4).head(96-4) # something along those lines? 15:15

jkramer moritz: from the tail docs: Returns an empty Seq if NUMBER <= 0

Zoffix lizmat: BTW we already have like 1010 modules. I just looked at the build log and 12 have JSON errors in their META files so they're likely not on the site (PRs sent) 16:09

Zoffix jkramer: that's not documentation. That's historical, archived speculations 16:12
jkramer Oh
timotimo look at the big red bar it has at the top
Zoffix jkramer: docs.perl6.org/ is the documentation and for smartmatch, you'd mostly look at the docs for the "ACCEPTS" method for the RHS's type (tho I see that seems to be missing for Range type)
jkramer An up-to-date table like on the other site would be nice 16:14
Zoffix imagines it'd be huge 16:16

moritz ilmari: I'm thinking about a 6ish way to design it. If we had <scriptrun>, we could combine it with other regexes easily as <scriptrun> & <other regex>
because we already have the & operator 16:37
ilmari moritz: and that requries the two regexes to match the same part of the string?
moritz ilmari: correct 16:38
ilmari that is a very neat way of combining them (but I don't want to think about backtracking)
moritz it's matched with the NFA, at least if <other regex> is declarative 16:39

DrForr There's a more official way to do that as well; I think it's mentioned as *like* curry in the docs, but not quite the same. 17:33

player When 2018.01 will be released? 18:34
El_Che soon 18:35
any time
player Isn't there fixed schedule or plan? 18:36
El_Che yes, it should be out, but the core devs are doing some last minute fixing
AlexDaniel well, the minute is extended enough to make sure the release is great :) 18:42
player: if you're looking for rakudo star, then it usually comes out a bit later than the rakudo release 18:43
Zoffix Maybe we should try out a new system? A week before release MoarVM/nqp/rakudo/roast get `pre-release` branch created and tests get run on it + users get invited to test it out. All the devs continue working on master and nothing but critical bug fixes get into `pre-release` branch. 18:51
I'm using post-release branch and it's slightly annoying because Issues don't auto-close and you need to pull regularly to avoid conflicts. I also see some devs still commit fixes to master. And really, a small last minute fix could bring in a huge bug with it. 18:52
El_Che Zoffix: I could love RC tars, that way I could use a branch of rakudo-pkg as a canary 18:53
[Coke] FWIW, I'd be happy with something more closely resembling gitflow, yes. (maybe have the branch be release-2018.05 if we don't want to reuse the branch name.)
El_Che as it tests several Linux distro's (cfr the 2017.12 bug)
[Coke] and we could lock down who can commit to the release branch via github.
(down to the release manager by default)
player AlexDaniel, I mean compiler releases that is released every month
AlexDaniel player: we will release rakudo this month, yes :) 18:54
Zoffix Boom: we reached a milestone. 1002 modules in ecosystem: modules.perl6.org/search/?q= 18:55
lizmat whee!
AlexDaniel Zoffix: something like this, yeah maybe. There's a little issue is that releases will be branched out
which is not necessarily a problem, just something to keep in mind 18:56
gitflow is an overkill though
Zoffix It'd just be handy for users across 4 repos to not care (i.e. not worry about pushing something too soon) when release happens. Especially since two of those repos are in general "perl6" group with lots of users having push access. 19:01
+ PRs won't be forgotten about ("oh can't merge now because too close to release. I'll merge later"... *forgotten*) 19:02
And release manager would have full control over which bugs are considered critical and are allowed to be cherry-picked after the large part of testing happened already 19:04
AlexDaniel stmuk: insert obligatory complaint about the lack of lts branches here :) 19:08

player I want to execute few external commands sequentially even if some of them fails, however straightforward(run 'false'; run 'message') doesn't print 'message' 19:51
run 'false'; run 'echo', 'msg' 19:52
geekosaur capture and use the result of "run" instead of letting it be sunk 19:55
geekosaur if the command fails, default sink will trip the Failure. if you capture and test the result then it will not throw 19:56
Zoffix FWIW, there's no Failure in this case. Only the Proc object and Proc with non-zero .exitcode throws when sunk. 20:11
player: just do: |run 'false'; |run «echo msg»;
(`|` in this context is a slip operator that will just call .Slip and wrap your Proc into a Slip (which is a List) and List.sink is a no-op and Proc won't get sunk and won't explode) 20:13
player Thanks, Zoffix. 20:24
It's better than using $ = run ... 20:25
geekosaur does that ensure sequentiality though? 20:26
geekosaur does not recall
Zoffix Good point 20:28
player: my bad don't use that. 20:29
mst if it's a slip followed by a semicolon, surely the semicolon ensure sequentiality? 20:30
Zoffix player: generally, I'd imagine the normal way to do it would be to just write `so run «...»` but per R#1406 that warns currently annoyingly
synopsebot R#1406 [open]: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/1406 Warning about non-useless use of `so`
Zoffix mst: a Proc is a Proc::Async behind the scenes that fakes being sync. And if you don't capture its output, the syncing points are .so/.Bool/.sink/.exitcode methods 20:31
Zoffix tries to verify
mst ah. so maybe |run('false').so ? 20:32
Zoffix No need for | in that case. The mere .so is enough. parentheses are gross tho :P
This runs sequentially tho: |run «perl6 -e "sleep 1; say q|meow|"»; |run «perl6 -e "say q|foo|"»; sleep 3 20:33

player: nevermind, it's safe to use. If you don't capture anything it waits for end.

comborico1611 The author of this PHP book is using it. I'm new to the scene, if you catch my jive. I just don't want to be uber-hacked. 20:49
pwned-hacked, we would call it.
Not to be confused with phone hacked.
Thanks, DrForr. I just needed some reassuranace. 20:50
DrForr Most of the cracking these days is supposed to be defended against as 'docker image stop; docker image delete ; docker image create... 20:51
El_Che whut? 20:52
DrForr Or not. Feel free to ignore me ; I'm staring at React code. 20:54
El_Che comborico1611: vagrant was the shit before docker arrived
now it's more of an abstraction for vm's
AlexDaniel fwiw « » is not nice with run, it's basically a jump from the shell hell to, erm, exactly the same but just on perl 6 level
comborico1611 El_Che: Yeah, I'm using it in a vm. 20:55
I don't actually see the VM, though. I guess it's there. Haha.
El_Che comborico1611: our spectre and meltdown friends should make it easier nowadays to steal info from outside the vm
comborico1611 I was expecting a graphical VM. It's Virtual Box.
El_Che although it's hard
AlexDaniel demonstrating it in the docs without any precautions is just harmful, and even more so if the example has just two arguments 20:56
El_Che comborico1611: what I would do is recreating the environment with virtualbox or docker myself
self and you learn also the lower layers
full-stack sticker for your laptop and stuff :)

We'd rather not advice «» to those who may not know enough

  «» is basically a jump from the shell hell to exactly the same but
on perl 6 level. Those who want to do it may do it, but if we really want to document this, then it needs to come with a warning and a blurb on what this may lead to.
Also, in that particular example there are just two arguments so using «» is not really justified.

Zoffix AlexDaniel: what's "shell hell"? 21:08
AlexDaniel «rm $file» 21:09
Zoffix AlexDaniel: that doesn't tell me anything
AlexDaniel so you forget to put quotes and then things go bad 21:10
AlexDaniel Zoffix: like? if the file has spaces, then it's split into two arguments 21:11
and so you delete wrong stuff
I think you already understand that, not exactly sure what kind of justification you're expecting from me 21:12
El_Che $file="" #init; ...; «rm -rf $file/»
AlexDaniel the essential issue in shells is that the “default” behavior is doing something that you don't want most of the time 21:12
and then perl 6 came along and brought that “awesome” behavior in «» 21:13
well it's better because you don't have to use «» of course, and so I personally don't
AlexDaniel except in code golf maybe :) 21:14
AlexDaniel I'm not against documenting it, just not in that form 21:15
like “You can also use «» but be aware that «» splits stuff by whitespace which may result in problems that you typically have in shells, …” and then some examples
well, something like that
and I care about it that much because almost in any shell script out there you'll find issues like this 21:18
jnthn AlexDaniel: I guess you're aware of this, but the <<...>> form are called shell quotes :) 21:19
AlexDaniel and I recall reporting at least one serious security issue in an open-source project
yea, am aware
.oO( but post-modern shells don't do that! )
 21:20
jnthn I very rarely find myself using them, tbh
One of those "nice to have now and then" things 21:21
AlexDaniel IIRC fish shell has a different understanding of things, and does not need quotes while operating properly
jnthn But not a form I'd emphasize or default to, especially in the docs
tyil should we add Perl 6 to this list: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_o..._languages 21:25
gfldex tyil: more propaganda is always better :) 21:26
AlexDaniel by the way, fwiw 21:30
it's not enough to put quotes in run «rm "$file"» to make it actually work
well, on perl 6 yes, enough. But for rm itself you need -- also 21:31
AlexDaniel level 21:31
tyil gfldex: on which repo would an issue for this be most suited? 21:32
AlexDaniel (so run «rm -- "$file"», which yea is arguably easier to read than ‘rm’, ‘--’, $file) 21:33
moritz run <rm -->, $file 21:34
AlexDaniel I guess we have a winner :) 21:35
moritz: I never thought about that.
moritz++
AlexDaniel but maybe it doesn't work like that? 21:37
need | in front of <> I think
run |<rm -->, $file
gfldex tyil: github.com/perl6/marketing 21:38
AlexDaniel gfldex: we shouldn't view wikipedia as a marketing platform
AlexDaniel even though it factually is :) 21:38
tyil I was thinking of mu
since I couldnt find anything else that had a fitting description 21:39
gfldex AlexDaniel: that we are to humble to marketing might the the reason why we are shit at it
AlexDaniel runs to bed quickly so that he stops telling people what they should not do 21:40
I think it's a doc issue 21:41
we can doc the relevant parts, and maybe that'll be usable as a source for wikipedia purposes 21:42
tyil that sounds pretty valid 21:53
DrForr Well, that was rather unfun but I've got React and the react-grid-layout module playing with Cro. 22:01
[Coke] DrForr: that still sounds funner than $dayjob. :)
DrForr I have *got* to fix irssi's nick higlight color, I can't make out yellow-on-white. 22:03
[Coke] is just black & white here. :) 22:04
DrForr Incidentally grid layouts don't appear to nest, unless I've done something horribly wrong, which *is* remotely possible. 22:20
El_Che DrForr: it's not irssi, but your terminal colour layout 22:26
DrForr Oooh, in fact it *really* doesn't want you nesting grids, as my most recent CLI invocation 'killall -9 firefox' can attest to. 22:28
That was fun. G'night. 22:29
timotimo DrForr: if it's css grids you can definitely nest them 23:16
timotimo css grids being the new awesome sauce 23:16
