elcaro guifa: kinda. if you consider all historical time to be in Gregorian 02:34
guifa Well, Gregorian doesn’t consider 0 to be a valid year. Gregorian goes 4, 3, 2, 1, -1, 2, 3
guifa is working on DateTime formatting
(let’s just say it makes different measurement and number systems look like a cake walk lol) 02:35
elcaro yeah, but in the context of the DateTime type, year 0 is 1BC in Gregorian... but it wouldn't really be the 1BC from history, because of changes to the calendar in recent ceturies 02:36
02:36 Manifest0 joined 02:42 Manifest0 left
guifa Right. I just need to know what it’s considering it before pumping it into formulae to calculate year numbers for other calendar systems :-) 02:43
Actually, the better question is whether it uses a cut off date to switch automatically to Julian. Hm… 02:44

holyghost I have a main loop for my perl6 Quest For Glory game system, Gargoyle's Quest seemed too daft due to copyright infringements 06:26
It uses SDL 1.2 06:27

The meaning is you just do QFGMain.new.qfg_mainloop; in a script to call on the modules/classes 06:28

ufobat_ moritz, jmerelo: Grammar::ErrorReporting is using self.pos and self.target but those 2 are not documented, i was wondering if there are more usefull methods/public attributes which are not included in the documentation 10:25
10:25 llfourn left
moritz ufobat_: it's documented in docs.perl6.org/type/Cursor 10:26
which is a superclass of Grammar
I don't know why they aren't shown on the page for Grammar though
that sounds like a bug in htmlify, unless somebody changed the behavior intentionally 10:27
ufobat_ docs.perl6.org/type/Grammar#Type_Graph doesnt include cursor
meh :-( 10:28
moritz that might explain it
jmerelo ufobat_: quite a few...
moritz it says Grammar is Match
it's not, it's Cursor
m: say Grammar ~~ Match 10:29
evalable6 True
moritz m: say Grammar.^mro
evalable6 ((Grammar) (Match) (Capture) (Cool) (Any) (Mu))
jmerelo moritz: there's no bug in htmlify.p6. htmlify.p6 is a big bug itself.
moritz jmerelo: that's a pretty cynical view
jmerelo moritz: I would say informed, but whatever.
ufobat_ if grammar is no cursor, your module coudn't do self.pos and self.target, because its a role for a grammar, no?
moritz m: say Cursor.^roles 10:30
evalable6 (exit code 1) No such method 'gist' for invocant of type 'NQPMatchRole'. Did you mean 'ast'?
in block <unit> at /tmp/kvT5slruIN line 1
jmerelo ufobat_: anyway, dependencies are not in htmlify.p6, but in type-graph.txt

evalable6 ((Match) (Capture) (Cool) (Any) (Mu))
moritz m: say Cursor.HOW.^name 10:31
evalable6 Perl6::Metamodel::ClassHOW
ufobat_ i need to leave now but i will create an issue this evening, unless you or moritz did. cya
moritz I don't understand this. Grammar ~~ Cursor is true, Cursor is a class (not a role), but Grammar.^mro doesn't mention Cursor 10:32
jmerelo moritz: that's one of the problems with htmlify.p6, it's using metadata stored in files instead of using introspection. And very little, if any, of it is specified; none is tested.
moritz: let me see if I get this off the top of my head. At some point in time, Cursor was made a synonym for Match? 10:33
timotimo moritz: i believe Cursor := Match
moritz m: say Cursor === Match
timotimo m: say Cursor =:= Match
evalable6 True
True
jmerelo timotimo: I was going to check the source, but timotimo is muth better :-)

lumin hello guys, I'm a perl newbie and I write python3. What's the biggest advantage of perl6 over python3? I'd like to read tutorial about that first. 15:14
Thanks in advance
15:15 Black_Ribbon joined, zacts joined, eseyman left
sena_kun lumin, you can read docs.perl6.org/language/faq#Why_sh..._about_it? and choose whatever you see the most interesting options. :) 15:16
El_Che lumin: in my view, perl 6 is more expressive, has more stuff built in, has optional typing, has built-in real threading
moritz and grammars. Don't forget grammars! :D
15:16 pmurias left
El_Che lumin: downsizes: is does'nt have the size of the python of perl5 ecosystem, the runtime needs to get faster 15:16
sena_kun waves for great concurrency, grammars, easier syntax, MOP 15:17
veesh i really like perl6 in theory 15:18
El_Che sena_kun: I don't think it has easier syntax than python
lumin My first impression about perl{5,6} is that they are quite good at text processing. I tried some simple program and was impressed. Grammar is an amazing feature but it's not easy to understand
sena_kun El_Che, well, to me it is. Maybe not the right word. For most people I'd say word "expressive" fits here more, but it is just my own feeling that e.g. ??!! is more natural than `foo if True else bar` and cases like that. given/when presence and so on. 15:19
kawaii Perl 6 syntax is easier IMO, I can't even read Python that well due to the lack of ; etc...
lumin El_Che: the ecosystem is not a problem for me, as I'm just looking for fun :-)
El_Che sena_kun: in that optic, more expressive or natural. But the syntax gets complicated because there is more of it, and several ways to express the same thing. 15:20
lumin: in that case, jump in
15:20 zacts left
veesh it's pretty overwhelming 15:22
how many things you can do
sena_kun El_Che, cannot deny that. Sometimes I am thinking like "Hm, do we really need e.g. `my Foo @a` _and_ `my @a of Foo`" myself.
lumin well, python3's mandatory indentation is not that bad ... IMHO. The python language itself is very simple to learn
15:22 zacts joined
veesh python is meant to be read like english 15:22
lumin but perl5 scared me off with $_ when the first time I try to learn it
sena_kun don't Python has `_` or something? 15:23
veesh python has a lot of explicitness
15:23 zacts_pi joined
veesh i can't imagine that they'd have anything like a default variable 15:23
moritz sena_kun: only in ipython (the REPL), I believe 15:24
otherwise it's convention to use _ as a variable that you never want to read from 15:25
_, status = some_action_that_returns_a_tuple()
15:25 zacts is now known as Guest19553
veesh that's pattern matching 15:25
oh got what you meant 15:26
sena_kun moritz, I just did 2 + 2 using my linux box python(cpython it is, I believe) and _ after that prints me 4, so in a way similar to $_, just a lot less useful, as you can't contextualize.
lumin oh, you mentioned ipython. Is there any fancy interactive shell for perl6? I think that would provide a better learning expereince
15:27 zacts_pi is now known as zacts, Guest19553 left
moritz sena_kun: but only in interactive mode 15:27
veesh perl6 has a repl by default 15:28
just use it
moritz but not as fancy as ipython, and needs readline installed to be usable
veesh though my terminal gets messed up with the unicode characters
sena_kun moritz, sigh. well, I wanted to say that there is nothing odd with "implicit" variables, if _ in python is ok, I don't see why $_ or $! in Perl 6 is suddenly a no-no. 15:29
lumin veesh: I thought perl6's default REPL is just like python's, but I'm wrong. At least the perl6's features completion, nice 15:30
moritz sena_kun: and I'm just saying that regular (non-interactive) python doesn't have implicit variables 15:31
sena_kun moritz, can't deny that. don't have an idea of how many python folks know/use the feature though, probably not a few. 15:33
lumin Another question: how fast is perl6? compared with pypy?
(this should be a fair comparison since both of them have JIT) 15:34
sena_kun lumin, the performance is not spectacular right now, though folks are working on making it faster. not sure about saying "fair" here, as python was released in 1990, and Perl 6 in 2015. amount of time invested in JIT is a bit different for both cases. 15:35
timotimo pypy's jit is absolutely incredible, IMO
sena_kun: well, pypy hasn't had a jit that long 15:36
there was a module you could load that would jit stuff for you, i forgot what it was called
El_Che lumin: if speed is critical, stick to compiled languages like Go and Rust. Perl 6 runtime has still to get a lot faster
timotimo and then there was shedskin, a limited python to C++ compiler, iirc
and of course the project i forgot the name of that combined cpython with llvm 15:37
lumin timotimo: do you mean numba? github.com/numba/numba
This is dedicated for scientific computing
sena_kun timotimo, I suspect python already has had good publicity and a lot of folks volunteering to make it faster, nope? not like I am saying that "It isn't fair!11", just noting that the history is different. 15:38
lumin sena_kun: El_Che: thank you for the pointer. IIUC I should not try to throw heavy workload on perl6 currently 15:39
timotimo sena_kun: cpython has a "don't make it faster if it makes the code less readable" policy IIRC
El_Che lumin: well, you can, and for most stuff people do (web, backend,...), Perl 6 is certainly fast enough
timotimo numba isn't the one i meant
the one i'm refering to has been deprecated for a long time
El_Che bl 15:40
bbl
sena_kun timotimo, I certainly don't have an expertise to talk about those things, so I'll just sit silently in my corner. ;)
lumin I edit code with vim. Did you noticed that the perl6 syntax obviously slowed vim down ... 15:44
That's the most complicated syntax plugin I've ever seen ...
sena_kun has used emacs, but eventually switched to using Comma 15:45
15:46 mowcat joined
sena_kun though I still open emacs for typing Perl 6 down occasionally when it's a single file script I need to edit quickly 15:46
araraloren The font render of IDEA is not good :/ 15:47
veesh what plugin are you using for the highlighting? 15:48
lumin veesh: Just the one shipped by vim8.1 15:49
veesh i thought it didn't come with one
moritz $ dpkg -S /usr/share/vim/vim80/syntax/perl6.vim 15:51
vim-runtime: /usr/share/vim/vim80/syntax/perl6.vim
at least the vim that comes with ubuntu ships with perl6.vim by default
lumin I went throguh some docs and I found the Grammar feature of perl6 is the most attractive one to me. 15:53
Thank you guys for the pointers!
moritz lumin: shameful plug, if you want to go more in depth on the grammar feature, you might enjoy www.apress.com/us/book/9781484232279 by yours truly 15:56
also available on amazon 15:58
lumin moritz: Thanks for the (author's) recommendation. I think I'm first trying it out with the online docs :-)
moritz lumin: sure thing, enjoy :D 16:00
lumin oops, I think I got in to a trouble with grammar... 16:03
can I paste short code here? 16:04
moritz if it's more than one line, please use a pastebin or github gists
lumin OK. I wrote this: paste.debian.net/1081056/ 16:05
the 'content" rule doesn't work when the pattern is ".*". but pattern "x*" matched.
moritz lumin: rules don't backtrack
so .* eats the rest of the string 16:06
make it token content { <-[}]>* } instead
that is, "everything up to (but excluding) the first }"
lumin It worked. I think I need more time to understand it ... 16:08

ufobat_ what if you have a file like lib/Foo/Bar.pm6 which contains classes and/or roles that don't start with Foo::Bar. a) is it bad style? b) is it harmless? c) could there be some name collitions? 18:55
timotimo harmless; your consumer will have to deal with name collisions with whatever tricks necessary 18:57
