undersc0re97 hi is there an official interpreter for Perl 6 yet? 03:02
labster There is an official specification for Perl 6, and various interpreters that implement the spec (to various degrees). 03:04
geekosaur there is unlikely to ever be *an* official intepreter, as such. perl 6 is not a monolith defined by a single implementation, and having multiple implementations has helped flesh out the specs and flush out bugs in both the spec and the implementations 03:05
this is not python; "there's more than one way to do it" applies even to perl itself :)
undersc0re97 and this is why perl 6 sucks

diakopter the @ sigil only signifies Positional role; anything can be iterated if it implements it 06:16

jnthn Should work also
The rule is about } followed by a new line
jnthn kinda likes lining up his pipes to the left, though... 09:10
arnsholt Yeah, I like having them on the left as well
Unrelated, I hate writing abstracts 09:11
jnthn is writing sample code and tutorial material today, which isn't so bad 09:12
arnsholt Yeah, that's a bit easier
arnsholt forgot about the JavaZone deadline
So now I have to write it up, or not get to submit anything at all 09:13
jnthn ah, conf deadlines...
When is JavaZone?
FROGGS * jnthn remembers fixin' it. <--- how? I had problems yesterday parsing 'require "/path" <&bar>' as '<sym> <path=.EXPR> <args=.EXPR>', it always meant to parse an infix:<
arnsholt September I think
jnthn That's quite a way before the conf
arnsholt 11th and 12th 09:14
jnthn Oredev has a deadline way before the conf too. My $dayjob are like "submit?" and I'm like "ah, a November conf" and then always miss the (I think April-ish) deadline.

masak waves, from a train 12:16
isn't it *awesome* that you can do IRC while moving ~100 km/h? 12:17
Heather is dancing in the rain
masak I assume that's how fast we're moving. SJ calls their trains "SJ snabbtåg", which gets more ridiculous every year as other countries are building more and more trains that top out at ~300 km/h. 12:18
jnthn masak: snabbtaag does faster than that a lot of the time.
masak oh, ok. 12:19
jnthn To Stockholm is what, 700km?
And it gets there in 4.25 hours or so
masak oh yeah.
jnthn I think it's 200km/h ish.
masak ok, that's kind of fast-ish, then. 12:20
jnthn Sweden will probably get on the 300km/h + bandwagon eventually, I suspect. There are plans...
masak "SJ inte så långsamt-tåg" :P
jnthn :D
...I bet it'll be 2030 or so though.
masak WOW that's fast! oh wait
jnthn You have to be China to build high speed rail out at insanely high pace. :)
masak I love the plans I saw for Chinese trains that are so fast they *don't stop at stations*. 12:21
(you have to dock with them while they're moving, with a special secondary train) 12:22
12:22 tgt left
jnthn I...don't see that one happening in reality. Even if it is wildly cool :) 12:22
The next time I get chance to travel around China, it will be rather different.
Last time I did loads of overnight sleeper trains to cover the distances. These days, a bunch of those are a few hours on a high speed... 12:23
.oO( Now if only they could do this with the Trans-Sib... :) )
12:23 tgt joined
arnsholt jnthn: They keep talking about high-speed rail in Norway as well, especially Oslo-Bergen 12:24
jnthn arnsholt: I've done that journey on the line that exists today, and I can only think, OMG that would be EXPENSIVE. :) 12:25
arnsholt But nothing ever comes of it, since it's easier to build some roads with a tunnel or two and the odd bridge
Far easier way to get political goodwill >.<
jnthn You may well start and end at sea level but there way is anything but flat.
*the
You hit >1km in altitude at one point, iirc?
arnsholt Indeed. But when the line was built (>100 years ago, if memory serves), the total budget was more than a full year's national budget 12:26
jnthn Wow :)
arnsholt Finse station is 1222 above sealevel, I think
And the highest point a bit above that again
Yeah. Infrastructure is stupid expensive
jnthn Ah. I got off at Myrdal, or however you spell it. 12:27
The one where the line down to Flaam starts.
arnsholt Myrdal is a station, not too far from Bergen
Yeah, that's Myrdal
jnthn It's still pretty high, iirc.
arnsholt ("Bog valley" is the literal meaning in modern Norwegian) 12:28
Still a ways to go down to Bergen from Myrdal, I think, yeah 12:30
Lots of mountains, certainly =)
jnthn Yeah. I really liked it there. 12:31
Will have to visit again some day.
12:31 domidumont joined
arnsholt Could you take a look at gist.github.com/arnsholt/219bafc22a55fac09e21 BTW? What I've got for my JavaZone abstract so far 12:33
Feedback from anyone with a few minutes to spare would be much appreciated
jnthn arnsholt: Operator definition is not quite coupled to classes, fwiw :) 12:36
Maybe point out how it's done with multiple dispatch?
tangentstorm There are probably a great many java developers who don't know what perl is. 12:37
jnthn chuckles at the Expected audience :D
arnsholt: Gradual typing may also be worth a mention 12:38
(you come close, but making it explicit the programmer gets to pick how typed their program is may be worth doing) 12:39
[Coke] sergot: how often does feather.perl6.nl/~sergot/modules/ refresh?
tangentstorm arnsholt: Probably java readers would rather you compared it to java than to perl5.
jnthn tangentstorm: Hm, that's a good point on audience... 12:40
tangentstorm Like how does this grammar stuff compare to ANTLR?
arnsholt jnthn: I know. Figured I'd not go into too many details in the abstract 12:42
(Re: operators)
Yeah, I tried to hint at the gradual typing. Any suggestions on how to make it clearer?
tangentstorm answer: perl6 has a lot more power, you can (with a little work) use perl actions with existing antlr grammars.
arnsholt Yeah, I need more bullet points on audience
tangentstorm Can you use java classes from perl, and vice versa? 12:43
jnthn tangentstorm: Not yet, but I want to make that possible.
arnsholt ANTLR is a good idea. It should be well known to Java folks and make the increased expressive power apparent
Language interop is one of those non-specced parts of Perl 6 I think
jnthn tangentstorm: Got get Rakudo to run there at all first :)
[Coke] jnthn++ jvm work. 12:44
tangentstorm oh so this is like a "vision of the future" article, arnsholt? 12:45
jnthn tangentstorm: It's a conf abstract for September, which is in the future. :) 12:46
tangentstorm i could be biased. So far talking to antlr4 is the only thing i've really accomplished in perl6 :)
Oh cool. Didn't know what javazone was.
arnsholt tangentstorm: No, this is a Java conference
So my general idea is "Perl 6 is super awesome! And look, it runs on the JVM like, right now!" 12:47
Especially the last part. I'd like to demo some code using Rakudo/JVM and show that it's possible right now
Now vapourware, no grand visions of the future, just cool code right now 12:48
jnthn s/Now/No/ ? :)
tangentstorm Who is working on this?
arnsholt Yeah, that ^_^
[Coke] ooh, I liked javaone. first conference I got work to send me to. :) 12:49
jnthn tangentstorm: Various folks here are contributing.
[Coke] still has his stuffed Duke!
arnsholt tangentstorm: "This" being the JVM port?

tangentstorm jnthn: so is the plan to port NQP to the jvm, or is there another layer lower than that, but above PIR when you can make the cut? 12:54
(or is it just a completely different thing?)
jnthn tangentstorm: NQP is basically already ported in github.com/jnthn/nqp-jvm-prep/ 12:55
tangentstorm cool
jnthn tangentstorm: It can cross-compile itself to the JVM.
tangentstorm: Giving a Parrot-independent output. 12:56
I'm two files off having that self hosted thing being able to spit itself out.
Meaning it'll be bootstrapped on the JVM.
also migrating the work into the main NQP repository since loads of code is shared. 12:57
tangentstorm Cool.

daxim "until we have a Perl6 hype and girls start tearing of their shirts if they see a guy wearing a Perl6 T-shirt. Yeah. Why not? Phantasies are not illegal." 13:11
arnsholt daxim: ? 13:12
masak daxim: please provide some context.
daxim perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=1027730
masak is getting increasingly tired at debates on exactly where on the adoption curve Perl 6 is 13:14
daxim you tire, you lose
masak I beg to differ. I'm coding Perl 6 and having a lot of fun.
I'm *getting Perl 6 code written*.
interestingly, these conversations seem to be conducted by people who (for the most part) haven't coded much Perl 6. 13:15
daxim if you'd help tadzik fix the papercuts, you'd increase adoption for >1 persons, which has the greater utility
tadzik papercuts? :)
masak agreed. I'll have a look at CSV later today.
daxim like github.com/tadzik/panda/issues/40 13:16
masak by that argument, writing new libraries, modules, and frameworks that people will use, also has great utility.
hoelzro the problem I've had with writing Perl 6 code is that I get 80% there, and something stops me
whether it's my knowledge of the language or a bug 13:17
tadzik ah, yes
daxim ↑ what mr ro said
tadzik daxim: I went some way towards that, it's not ready for publishing yet
hoelzro sometimes the bugs are workaround-able, but sometimes it's hard
especially without digging into the internals
daxim excellent, keep the public updated with your progress
tadzik I do, I complain and rant regularly :) 13:18
hoelzro speaking of bugs I've found...has anyone had a chance to look at this? rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=117377
hoelzro also needs to work on compiling the list of weird behavior he found with POSIX.pm6 13:19
jnthn hoelzro: The underlying issue is that there's no postcircumfix:<( )> in the base class. 13:20
hoelzro jnthn: right
but adding it is non-trivial =( 13:21
I made a comment detailing my research =)
jnthn Yeah, it's non-trivial. If you Just Naively Add It you end up turning every method invocation into an infinite loop... :) 13:22
Well, infinite recursion.
hoelzro right =/ 13:23
I'd be happy to work on it some more; I just need some direction
13:24 crab2313 joined
jnthn May be best added in BOOTSTRAP 13:25
colomon masak: you did see github.com/masak/csv/pull/6 , right? 13:26
hoelzro I think I tried adding it to BOOTSTRAP
jnthn But may also need to circumvent stuff somewhere in ClassHOW...
I'd have to look more closely, and I'm meant to be $dayjobbing at the moment :) 13:27

tadzik github doesn't make it too easy to keep track of pull requests opened in your repos
colomon tadzik: ah, I didn't know that. 13:30
I figured there would be an e-mail sent.
tadzik oh, there is :)
masak I have a simple rule to manage it all: I ignore all pull requests until someone tells me in person.
tadzik I find those easy to forget too
github.com/dashboard/pulls/public is almost good
masak emails -- I couldn't handle all that, so I think I turned them off.
tadzik if only it had "show only _my_ repos, not all repos I have access to" 13:31
masak right.
tadzik I should probably ask github stuff for that
masak that was the problem for me -- too much noise.
tadzik: please do :)
colomon interesting.
tadzik same with issues
oh, issues have "In your repositories"
colomon now has to remember what the other pull request he sent yesterday was...
tadzik but no, that's also "you have access to" 13:32
arnsholt jnthn: Regarding the gradual typing stuff. What's a good way to sell it to a Java audience, you think?
colomon ah, template6 -- supernovus?
13:32 robinsmidsrod joined
arnsholt hoelzro: I'm sure there's lots of fun stuff in NativeCall. Bug reports are welcome =) 13:33
jnthn "Perl 6 isn't statically typed or dynamically typed; as a gradually typed language, it lets the programmer pick the point on the spectrum that best suits the problem at hand."
arnsholt I'm a bit tuit-starved ATM, though. Unfortunately :/
hoelzro arnsholt: I'll submit them as soon as I have good examples =)
aren't we all? ;)
arnsholt True dat. More so than usual =) 13:34
colomon I feel like I should know supernovus's IRC handle, but I don't. anyone?
arnsholt jnthn: Oooh, nice one. It's almost like you've thought quite a bit about this =D
hoelzro will Perl 6 compilers ever do anything like type inference? or does that conflict with gradual typing in a way I'm not thinking about?
jnthn hoelzro: The optimizer is free to make inferences when it can determine it is safe. 13:35
hoelzro ok, very good
13:35 skids joined
arnsholt Rakudo's optimizer does a bit of inference already, doesn't it? 13:35
jnthn Depends what you count as inference... :)
arnsholt Heh
hoelzro well, my $sum = 0; for @known_int_values -> $value { $sum += $value } return $sum 13:36
(assuming @known_int_values is declared as Array of Int)
the compiler *could* say "hey, $sum is an Int"
right?
jnthn It's got to prove that every assignment to the variable doesn't change its type. 13:37
brrt only if it knows all @known_int_values are integer
also
hoelzro right
brrt what about speculative optimisations?
'assuming this stays an integer, do ….., otherwise, bail me out'
jnthn brrt: Just need to be careful not to lose by bulking up the resulting code too much with speculation. 13:38
Some things are better left to JIT time.
brrt uhuh
hoelzro let's say it's this: sub mysum(Array of Int @values) { my $sum = 0; for @values -> $value { $sum += $value } $sum }
brrt but i wonder how many or few JIT-ers transform objects to primitives
hoelzro $sum is safe to be an Int here
13:38 kaleem left
hoelzro another thing is this: 13:38
brrt hoelzro, in ruby it aint
(for example) 13:39
hoelzro brrt: it's not?
brrt because int is defined to overflow to BigInt
hoelzro oh, I see
brrt IIRC
hoelzro good point
well, my other question is:
13:39 kaare_ joined
hoelzro will a Perl 6 compiler *ever* say "hey, I can tell mysum always returns an Int. So it's Signature.returns is Int now." 13:39
13:39 xinming left
hoelzro *its 13:41
13:41 xinming joined
colomon hoelzro: btw, it's easier to write sub mysum(Array of Int @values) { [+] @values } ;) 13:45
hoelzro colomon: I know, it's just an example =)
brrt you're asking for type inference?
brrt is not aware of anything that forbids it 13:46
hoelzro I'm asking if that kind of inference will be done
brrt but i'm not sure it would be spec-ed
hoelzro yeah
brrt and then, do non-inferencing compilers comply?
masak colomon: usually typing a @ variable with 'Array' is Not What You Want.
brrt do we want to put the burden of correct type inference onto compilers?
masak colomon: unless you expect to pass in a Positional of Array. 13:47
hoelzro the compiler could add signature metadata by itself, tooling could recommend metadata additions, or the compiler could ignore it
masak colomon: did you mean 'Int @values'?
hoelzro masak: that's my fault
I meant Int @values
masak oh, so I see.
jnthn 73 lines, lock free
oh, ww
masak :)
hoelzro there could also be a lexical trait or something that says "hey, go nuts with type inference here" 13:48
brrt hmm
hoelzro hmm
I think I like that last one best
brrt it would be un-perl6-y to /not/ specify such a thing
hoelzro use auto_inference; # automatically amends type signatures if capable
hoelzro continues to muse over coffee
arnsholt Why would you want that to be turned on explicitly? 13:49
If the optimizer can statically determine something's safe, it should do it anyways
If it can't be proven to be safe, you can't do it anyways
skids Maybe you want to know at compile time if you have written code that will collapse to natives... 13:50
So it could fail if not.
arnsholt That might be nice, true
brrt use infer; use infer :primitives; 13:51
arnsholt The Allegro Common Lisp compiler has a neat feature where you can enable a pragma which outputs lots of info about what code is inlined/turned into natives (and, crucially, why some of it isn't)
13:51 ilbot6 left
brrt use inference 13:51
arnsholt OTOH, ACL is a commercial CL compiler that's been in development for something like 30 years
brrt likes
what, we'll reach that age soon enough 13:52

hoelzro arnsholt: just for signature inference 14:16
for an our sub/multi
tadzik FROGGS: Happy Birthday! \o/ 14:17
timotimo r: try eval q{ sub foo(Str) { }; foo 42 }; say $!.WHAT # there is no typed exception for this yet?! 14:18

arnsholt hoelzro: Sorry? My addled brain failed to parse that
timotimo i'd like to create a type dexception for that. yay/nay?
FROGGS tadzik: no, my birthday is in 6 months.... :o)
hoelzro arnsholt: I mean to say that I think inference should be automatic for lexicals
and optional for things that will exist outside the current lexical unit
arnsholt Oh, right 14:19
FROGGS timotimo: you need a typed exception to make a proper test, so, yes :o)
hoelzro because I see no harm in implying Int for my $sum = 0;
but for sub mysum(Int @values) { ... } 14:20
there might be a case where magically attaching a 'returns Int' without informing the user could be bad
timotimo how about X::Routine::ImpossibleInvocation? 14:22
FROGGS hmmm, an X:: is always if something is not possible at that moment 14:23
timotimo i could derive it from X::Comp without having X::Comp in the name, no? 14:24
FROGGS right
timotimo does the name sound acceptable then?
hm, there are X::Routine:: and X::Multi, but this exception kind of covers both cases 14:25
FROGGS routine is the base class of a multi 14:26
and adding tokens is more about multis as routines
timotimo interestingly there is already X::Multi::NoMatch, which could be used for this case if we have a multi.
oh, i wasn't thinking about adding tokens at the moment
i got sidetracked :)

FROGGS X::Routine::SignatureMismatch? 14:30
timotimo how does it relate to X::Multi::NoMatch? the error messages are very similar at lesat 14:31
least*
FROGGS hmmm, it is almost the same, yes 14:32
maybe throwing the same message is okay in this case
ENOSUCHCANDIDATE
timotimo i'll have a look if i can make it happen 14:33
oh, well, there may not be a $.dispatcher that i can put there, though.
skids Though the user might infer that receiving an X::Multi::NoMatch means that their sub is considered a multi. 14:34
timotimo right
i think i'll need a distinct error message
especially since the code already distinguishes between "calling proto of" and "calling" ... "will never work". 14:35
it seems like i could even improve the error message from X::Multi::NoMatch, as it only says "none of these signatures match", but not what doesn't match any of the signatures 14:37
that shall be my first stop.
skids Yeah I've wanted that.
timotimo oh, it seems like that comes from the insides of parrot 14:38
FROGGS timotimo: I believe that this is in cqp's multidispatch.c 14:39
skids Better put down some newspapers. :-)
FROGGS *g*
timotimo i don't know what ... oh. 14:40
yes, that could very well be.
but the multiple dispatcher is in nqp nowadays
so maybe i can fiddle around in it for a bit
FROGGS you could add the current call right beneath the most fitting dispatchee, and colorize the good&bad arguments green&red O.o
timotimo yikes 14:41

whaaaat, multi_dispatch.c is only 150 lines of c code?! 14:44

meh, right
timotimo yes, i've found this all before ;)
FROGGS bah
timotimo sorry
FROGGS np
14:55 asogani is now known as anant__
timotimo i wonder how to do this later than compile time 14:56
except by turning off the optimizer
apparently that still runs at --optimize=0 14:57
anant__ Is exception reporting handled differently on the REPL? 14:58
timotimo a little bit
due to an unfortunate bug, $! will not be available between lines :(
if you write try { die "foo" } and after that say $!, you'll get nil
or rather Any. 14:59
anant__ I was trying to understand this: gist.github.com/anant-sogani/5388608
timotimo in you write try { die "foo" }; say $!, you will get foo
ah, indeed. it may be lazy in the file and -e version, but eagerly evaluated in the REPL 15:00
because the repl will print the value of your expression
try this in the repl:
my @a = 1, 2, 8 ... *; 1;
you will see, that the error will not be reported
anant__ timotimo: you're right! 15:01
timotimo you may need to add --ll-exception to your perl6 command line to get the full backtrace in the repl 15:02
gtodd my @a = 1, 2, 8 ... *; 1;
15:03 crab2313 left
gtodd oh it just eagerly takes the 1 15:03
timotimo that's not really it; the repl will just print only the last thing computed 15:04
anant__ timotimo: --ll-exception didn't change anything (no backtrace for "say @a") 15:05
timotimo ok, ok
gtodd hmm but it doesn't hand continuing with \
timotimo indeed. finding out when a statemend ends is a hard thing to do 15:06
although of course the \ before a new line is a trivial thing to add
gtodd errm doesn't handle continuing the way say SQL clients can because perl > SQL but ... yeah can't/wouldn't \ be useful?
anant__ timotimo: Can you point me to the code which sets exception reporting to eager for REPL 15:07
timotimo that's not what's happening 15:08
i'll give you a file+line, though 15:09
gtodd python REPL uses \ and then autoindents the line .... I don't know if fancy things like ipython try harder
kresike bye folks
15:09 kresike left
timotimo github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/master/s...er.pm#L237 15:10
gtodd: there's a method in the compile module that tries as hard as it can to figure out if the line is complete or partial
gtodd perl5 -de1 uses cont: :)
neat

diakopter I can't imagine why anyone would want them separate. so I'm asking for the reason 22:18

raiph diakopter: does "i love perl5, i hate perl6, don't you dare negatively impact cpan for me" count? 22:20
timotimo huh?
22:20 simcop2387_ joined, simcop2387_ is now known as simcop2387
diakopter did I suggest negatively impacting cpan? 22:20
I don't see how that follows from "not keeping them separate" 22:21
PerlJam diakopter: sorry ... had to talk to an A/C repair tech.
diakopter: I was just wondering about the ways that P5 people could not accidentally install P6 modules (and vice versa) 22:22
diakopter well, also included in my proposal was all the perl6 start with a perl6:: prefix, which perl6 implementations would implicitly insert when using cpan
*all the perl6 modules 22:23
(so that solves your wondering in the context of what I'm suggesting anyway) 22:25
PerlJam aye

lue I just don't want to stuff my code into a mandatory lib/perl6/ directory or to put Perl6:: in front of all my classes/modules/etc. 22:29
diakopter when I said you wouldn't see it, I meant it literally 22:30
you wouldn't have to do any of that
lue So, Perl 5 users essentially have to make it clear they want to use a P6 module however the system is supposed to do that? (If that's what you mean, then I'd suggest a perl5:: prefix for our side) 22:31
(which, also, is what :from<> is specced to do already)
diakopter no
22:32 GlitchMr left
diakopter I mean, yes, if they want to use a perl6 module, they use the perl5 bridge version (with the perl6:: prefix) which loads the perl6 one 22:32
japhb_ lue, I think diakopter is making a proposal to A) namespace CPAN, and B) give perl5 a no-syntax-changes way to specify wanting to use the perl6 bridge rather than getting a same-named perl5-native module 22:33
diakopter, is that right?
diakopter exactly
lue And then :from<> (defaulting to perl6 if unspecified) would be the P6 way to make sure you want to use Perl 5 module. (i.e. :from<perl5> forces P6 to run P5, perl6:: forces P5 to run P6) 22:34
japhb_ right 22:35
22:36 GlitchMr joined
diakopter that way, a Perl 6 module/distribution publisher need only upload one tarball 22:38
lue Just to be clear, perl6:: (which btw I'd rather see Perl6::, but no big deal) is a Perl 5 module that loads the Perl 6 module, correct? (Or would it active some internal mechanism in the perl5 compiler/standard external package?)
diakopter exactly. it would need the support of a Perl 6 VM that could do that
no internal mechanism needs added to anything in cpan or toolchain 22:39
lue would every P6 module Foo::Bar need a Perl6::Foo::Bar written for it, or would Perl6::Foo::Bar tell the compiler/some external module to use P6 to find a Perl 6-code Foo::Bar 22:40
diakopter not written by hand
well it could be; it'd be super-short
but it would be generated by your module publishing script
22:41 GlitchMr left 22:42 xilo joined
lue Sounds good, then. 22:42
diakopter I'm not against the creation of a subdirectory for moe and such 22:43
lue If Perl 6 modules are going to be on CPAN soon, seems I should get an account on PAUSE prepared, correct?
22:43 GlitchMr joined
diakopter but I do think creating a subdirectory for Perl 6 would make it significantly harder for Perl 6 module publishers to make their code available to p5-land 22:45
lue I'm assuming CPAN already has some system in place to avoid name clashes, making it possible to have a P5 module and P6 module named Foo::Bar on there. 22:47
diakopter or at least make it confusing for the other option
22:47 skids joined
diakopter no 22:47
tangentstorm CPAN *is* the thing to avoid name clashes :)
diakopter that's what they're adding - different buckets 22:48
tangentstorm i remember there was a whole process to go through to get AI:: set up
lue I think one of my only real concerns for P6 on CPAN is being kept from using a module name because some P5 module 10-15 years ago used it first. 22:49
diakopter lue: that's why the p6 module would actually have the perl6:: prefix on CPAN
lue Oh. That's different than what I got from you said earlier. 22:50
diakopter oh, you're right, I was wrong about never seeing it
sorear i worry about P6 programmers not yet having absorbed P5 naming norms and whatnot 22:51
jnthn sleep; 'night o/ 22:52
sorear P5 programmers don't have name collision problems because they're considerate enough to pick unique names
lue I'm fine with perl6:: as long as I never have to think "Oh yeah, I have to add perl6:: in front" as a Perl 6 user.
japhb_ Also, the use of perl6:: versus Perl6:: is that there are a lot of Perl 5 modules in the latter namespace already (bringing back ideas), but I think the only think in perl6:: is 'perl6', which is IIRC Rakudo. 22:53
diakopter just when browsing CPAN (which you'd have to designate somehow anyway to the UI to see only p6 modules if that's what you wanted)
japhb_ Night, jnthn
lue would like the cpan6 tool to (be configurable to) ignore the perl6:: prefix and require a :from<perl5> suffix as necessary for a P5 module 22:55
s/ignore/prepend for me/ 22:56
23:06 woolfy left
diakopter sorear: that's a good worry; I agree. however, it's not an argument against uploading to CPAN; it's an argument against uploading to any authority 23:11

[Coke] tries to figure out why this fails: 23:19
perl Configure.pl --prefix=install --gen-nqp --gen-parrot
(rather than building parrot, it complains it can't find install/bin/parrot) 23:20
[Coke] votes for somehow having "install/" in a borked state, as it's working now. weird. 23:22
23:22 frdmn left
[Coke] ah. needs a full path. 23:26
timotimo does niecza have a working socket implementation? 23:32
[Coke] ok((1,2,3,4) ~~ (1,*,*,3,4), 'array smartmatch dwims * 1 elem (many *s)'); 23:34
that looks like a horrible idea.
ok((1,2,3,4) ~~ (1,*,4), 'array smartmatch dwims * many elems');
(that doesn't look much better)
sorear timotimo: ish 23:35
timotimo sorear: putting the lib folder from JSON__Tiny into the local folder and running niecza with -Ilib causes strangeness 23:38

japhb_ We would do very well, once rakudo-jvm is working, to figure out how much of that is the grammar engine, how much is Rakudo overhead, and how much is the VM -- and then stomp the bottleneck heavily. 23:59
