phifisher I was see a video about, gabor szabo talking about.. :P
unmatched} dj_goku: maybe you can fix it :) You get the prize for unblocking the upcoming release :)
phifisher: ahh
dj_goku unmatched}: well I have to go workout plus I want to try and figure something else out. :D 00:02
ItayAlmog I feel like I am missing something... So when I have a variable inside a class you can changed it when it is not an instance and it will keep this variable's value even when you create a new instance of it ?
phifisher unmatched}, Even so, thank you!
:D
unmatched} ItayAlmog: yeah, that's a class variable. For attributes you use has $.test
For class attributes, you use my $.test

adu hey, this is probably really simple, but what's the syntax for negative lookahead assertions in perl6? 00:22
unmatched} adu: <!before ... > docs.perl6.org/language/regexes#Lo...assertions 00:23
adu unmatched}: thanks 00:25
Juerd adu: Can you guess the positive lookahead, and both negative and positive lookbehind from this single example? :) 00:26
00:26 mniip joined
Juerd ♥ p6 regex 00:26
b2gills ItayAlmog: I would say making a native compiler for full Perl 6 is just this side of impossible. If you want to make a native compiler, you could try NQP, it should be **much** easier. 00:28
ItayAlmog Yeah, probably :\ Are there any references about NQP (like lexical structure and typing and such)? 00:30
But on the other hand, I do want a challenge since I don't have anything to do other than that right now... 00:33
00:33 kyclark left
adu Juerd: <before ..> <!after ..> <after ..>, respectively? 00:34
I always get them confused though, because ahead=after, and behind=before in my mind 00:35
but in reality lookahead=before and lookbehind=after
I should probably just add look=not to my mental dictionary and be done with it

TEttinger that's quite the puzzling error 03:08
geekosaur somehow you have a Nil before the actual items
timotimo um, are you sure you mean ^\r\n inside a [ ]? 03:09
because that looks a bit like perl5 regex
geekosaur so you see [ hello.c foobar.c] and "why does it have spaces?" it doesn't. it has something that stringifies to the empty string first
[Nil, "hello.c", Nil, "foobar.c"]
TEttinger timotimo: I was wondering why regular-expressions.info has indepth coverage of most languages but not perl 6, and I suspect it's because a lot of stuff is different 03:10
geekosaur (now, as to why...)
perl 6 regex is less classical regex and more grammar
TEttinger "how i do make match character class please"
dataangel geekosaur: that seems like a dangerous string conversion... Why make it convert to empty string? None in python doesn't work that way and it doesn't seem to cause me trouble 03:11
geekosaur <[ a c x ]> # charclass
TEttinger and not having spaces in that breaks it?
oh, <[
...
geekosaur [ ] is a noncapturing group in perl 6 03:12
TEttinger why did one of the few most common aspects of regex change here?
timotimo because [ ] is much too valuable to spend on character classes
geekosaur so charclass moved to <[ ]>. the syntax differs also, because it's mroe flexible than traditional character classes
TEttinger uh huh
timotimo and having <...> as the general "special" match syntax fits well with character classes
and <-[abc]> is much saner than putting the "negate this char class" inside the [ ] 03:13
geekosaur dataangel, I was not privy to that decision, but it *is* pretty Perl-ish
TEttinger oh yes, very. I think it's very sane if you didn't have multiple generations of programmers used to the previous version. I can see why we had TRUMP_PENCE join this channel to spam, it's in the contrarian spirit of things :P 03:14
geekosaur perl 5's /x already started changing things... 03:15
(not that anyone uses it. sadly, because it's the second best thing ever to happen to regexes (perl 6's reimagining being the best thing!)) 03:16
TEttinger what is \x?
timotimo extended mode
geekosaur actually I do use /x. with copious comments when the regex is complex, so a future reader will actually understand what's going on
it is /x as in s/pat/repl/x
TEttinger oh, that's the comment and whitespace modifier?
geekosaur yes
TEttinger I mean, I don't think of that as a terribly unusual feature 03:17
geekosaur I can't count the number of times I encounter people who insist on using regex. then insist on using a regex that they explicitly do not understand
...why...
TEttinger because it's hardly unique to the perl family
it's been in PCRE for a long time and other languages have it too 03:18
dataangel geekosaur: so why are the Nil elements there?
geekosaur [18 03:10] <geekosaur> (now, as to why...)
meaning, I have no idea
dataangel oh :p
TEttinger .NET has an extension to their capturing groups that allows capturing into a stack of captures, then popping off elements when other things are captured. it makes their regexes part of a turing-complete class of languages as opposed to the class regular languages are in. it also allows you to parse html with regexes. perl 6 of course has the equally powerful grammars 03:20
dataangel geekosaur: that doesn't make sense though, [0][0] and [0][1] each had the objects I wanted, and the hyper operator should not create new elements, so how would you end up with four things?
timotimo i'll try to resume my sleep
geekosaur TEttinger, that was not a comment on /x itself, it was a comment on why /x is a good thing (that is, given that people use regex all over the place without knowing what they are doing, a facility to allow explanations and break a dense regex into comprehensible chunks is good) 03:21
TEttinger oh
geekosaur perl 6 started from there and reimagined regex as something less on the impenetrably-dense side to begin with
becuase, frankly, regexes suck 03:22
TEttinger I'll just leave it at "I don't use it, but have fixed implementations of it"
hehe
so this is penetrably dense, then: / .+\: ( \s* ( .+? ) <before [\s|$]> )+ / 03:23
the one pasted earlier
geekosaur it;s at least broken into bite-size chunks. I'd go a bit further toward making it more self-explanatory, but I suspect it will take time for that mindset to penetrate
otoh we're talking about the successor to a language far too many of whose users prided themselves on incomprehensible "clever" code (see: JAPH) 03:24
TEttinger no I mean I understand the rationale, I just don't think it's achieved or possibly achievable
geekosaur it may well end up that people will continue to write "regex" in perl 6 grammars
it's more achievable if you drop some of the classical stuff and use tokens instead 03:25
03:25 raiph joined
TEttinger so is this a regex or a grammar? I may be misunderstanding something. / .+ / 03:26
or somehow both
geekosaur it is a regex. a grammar is a mechanism for extending regex with named tokens 03:27
token any { / .+ / }; .... / <token> /
er
token any { / .+ / }; .... / <any> /
TEttinger that is very powerful 03:28
I think that is a much more meaningful addition than a change in syntax

yoleaux 16 Aug 2016 02:17Z <AlexDaniel> raiph: Using readable names for placeholder values (like $^key and $^value) is a footgun, please consider not recommending it publicly
TEttinger I prefer foodgun myself 03:30
dataangel geekosaur: interestingly using a non- capturing group on the outside gets rid of spaces: / .+\: [ \s* ( \S+ ) \s* ]+ /
geekosaur hm. maybe I misunderstood the thing just before I commented on that, which produced a Nil as the first element 03:31
which is why I understood it as Nil string Nil string
dataangel It would be cool if there were built in character classes for unescaped spaces and escaped spaces 03:35
geekosaur anyway, re character classes, S05 might be the best current explanation. one of the extensions is that <[a..c] + digit> is a thing (perl5 spelled that [a-c[:digit:]]) 03:36
03:39 wamba left
raiph .tell AlexDaniel Are you saying #perl6 consensus and/or TimToady thinks `for Foo.kv { $^key, $^value }` is poor form? I thought current p6doc advice for placeholder variables ("use short names or ones that can be trivially understood in the correct order") was good. 03:56
yoleaux raiph: I'll pass your message to AlexDaniel.
raiph .tell AlexDaniel I've edited the comment you saw to use and $^k and $^v instead -- that's what you're suggesting, right? 04:01

geekosaur raiph, the "in the correct order" part is what makes comprehensible names a footgun :( 04:06
geekosaur thought those were an interesting idea until he realized what that meant; now has no intention of using them 04:07
raiph geekosaur: is the thinking now that 'key' and 'value' are in less comprehensible order than 'k' and 'v'? 04:09
geekosaur no, the problem is that they're always assigned in lexical order; the thinking is that single letter things don't hint that you can reorder them the way meaningful names do 04:10
geekosaur finds that reasoning... dubious
i.e. the real footgun is not the naming, but the concept 04:11
04:11 kyclark joined 04:15 kyclark left
raiph geekosaur: is #perl6 consensus and/or TimToady's thinking now leaning toward deprecation or discouragement of use of placeholder variables? 04:15

AlexDaniel El_Che: filter? 12:51
yoleaux 03:56Z <raiph> AlexDaniel: Are you saying #perl6 consensus and/or TimToady thinks `for Foo.kv { $^key, $^value }` is poor form? I thought current p6doc advice for placeholder variables ("use short names or ones that can be trivially understood in the correct order") was good.
04:01Z <raiph> AlexDaniel: I've edited the comment you saw to use and $^k and $^v instead -- that's what you're suggesting, right?
ShimmerFairy moritz: definitely seems like something worth working towards (at the very least, award-grabbing isn't a bad idea :P)
El_Che AlexDaniel: many people won't bother if it's not something straightforward like github. 12:52
dj_goku unmatched}: thanks for letting me know!
AlexDaniel El_Che: ironically, a lot of people think that RT is easier because you don't have to register an account to submit a bug report 12:53
El_Che AlexDaniel: yeah, you know people, we're never happy
AlexDaniel El_Che: which is somewhat true actually, but harsh reality is that most developers have a GitHub account so RT tends to be harder…
ShimmerFairy AlexDaniel: for sure, that's something a surprising number of bugtrackers lack (you'd ideally want a low bar for submitting bugs, right?)
AlexDaniel ShimmerFairy: well, ideally RT should allow people to login with GitHub and that will be it, I guess 12:54

AlexDaniel .tell raiph I don't remember any big discussion on that topic, so I'd say that it is a consensus of a small bunch of people who care about it. However, don't take my word on it and judge yourself, here is how the logic goes:

AlexDaniel .tell raiph while $^onearg and $^otherarg might look very readable, it is pretty hard to tell which one comes first in the signature. Are you sure that readability is worth the extra mental step which requires the reader to sort the variable names alphabetically (…unicodically?) in his mind? If that does not sound very convincing, think about one of those times when variables are renamed during refactoring 13:03
yoleaux AlexDaniel: I'll pass your message to raiph.
ShimmerFairy I just realized: one way to think about $^a variables is as though they were explicitly labeled Whatevers, with the sorting part to provide some kind of plus over just stars everywhere :) 13:05
AlexDaniel .tell and no, $^k and $^v is not any better than $^key and $^value. Call me stupid, but I don't know which one comes first off the top of my head. I'd say that $^a $^b $^c are better. 13:06

AlexDaniel I think that one of the selling points of $^… was that you can do stuff like this: 13:18
m: my @foo = ^20; say @foo.sort: { $^b cmp $^a }
camelia rakudo-moar 643c0f: OUTPUT«(19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0)␤»
AlexDaniel however it does not look very convincing when you realize that you can do this:
m: my @foo = ^20; say @foo.sort: * Rcmp *
camelia rakudo-moar 643c0f: OUTPUT«(19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0)␤»

unmatched} What about it? 13:21
$a and $b is what even Perl 5 uses. $^a and $^b is nearly the same
AlexDaniel yeah, $^a $^b in perl 6 is perl 5 $a $b done better. 13:22
ShimmerFairy except $^a and $^b aren't magic globals that (presumably) haunt coders' dreams.
13:22 g4 left
unmatched} I find that whole conversation about $^vars kinda silly... It's like arguing about whether you should name your subroutines by mashing on your keyboard. 13:22
13:23 skids joined
unmatched} Or a more direct analogy: arguing that you should use descriptive subroutine names instead of naming the a() and b(), except with $^a and $^b it's in reverse, but for the same purpose 13:23
lucs AlexDaniel: Are $^two and $^one special cases recognized by the grammar, or is something else going on? 13:25
unmatched} $^a and $^b encode the parameter position in their name so using $^key and $^value is just as silly as naming a sorting subroutine nondescript a()
AlexDaniel unmatched}: except that $^descriptive-name may look like a great idea, which is what this discussion is about
ShimmerFairy lucs: it's in alphabetical order, which is why $^b cmp $^a compares things in reverse. 13:26
AlexDaniel m: say ‘one’ le ‘two’
unmatched} lucs: docs.perl6.org/language/variables#...entry-%24^

(makes sense, but may be misleading -- I believe I wouldn't use that.) 13:27
unmatched} AlexDaniel: "except that sub a() {} may look like a great idea 'cause it's short to type"
ShimmerFairy lucs: yeah, but more general sorting for the different kinds of letters you can use :)
AlexDaniel unmatched}: ok, you win :D
unmatched} \o/
13:28 Wiertek joined
AlexDaniel unmatched}: I've never thought about it this way :) 13:28
ShimmerFairy lucs: It's clear and advantageous for single letter variables, otherwise you'd have to do -> $a, $b { $b cmp $a } to get the same thing (as one alternative)
lucs ShimmerFairy: Oh, I totally agree with a/b, etc. it's the one/two I find misleading. 13:29
jnthn I figure code is read a lot more than it's written. The main danger of confusion to me would be if somebody changed the names not realizing the importance of their names on ordering, but (a) that'd hopefully show up as a big enough fail to break tests etc. and (b) comprehension wise, more meaningful names indicating the content of the variable are likely a net win.
For sorting though I'd just go with a and b, 'cus the names or the sortees don't really matter much :) 13:30
ItayAlmog m: class P { say "test" }
camelia rakudo-moar 643c0f: OUTPUT«test␤»
ShimmerFairy lucs: which is why you shouldn't do it :P . It's a natural consequence of wanting that kind of shorthand implicit ordering, but in a general sense.
jnthn $^key and $^value make sense to me in calling out what they two things are, though.
AlexDaniel well, if code is read a lot more than it's written, then perhaps it's worth to type out -> $key, $value { … } ;) 13:31
jnthn $^one and $^two don't in that I don't think I'd ever call a variable $one unless it contained the number one :)
AlexDaniel: That isn't an argument in favor of verbosity. :) 13:32
lucs $^first, $^second ;) (luckily, and just luckily, it works)
jnthn Indeed, it's surprising how many of them actually work ;)
unmatched} jnthn: but $^key and $^value work properly nearly by accident. If you translate them to Russian, the order would be different, for example
lucs $^premier $^deuxieme BZZZT! 13:33
unmatched} m: say <a b c d e>.map: { $^key => $^value }
camelia rakudo-moar 643c0f: OUTPUT«Too few positionals passed; expected 2 arguments but got 1␤ in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1␤␤»

m: say <a b c d>.map: { $^key => $^value }

jnthn unmatched}: That's a pretty rare use case :P
unmatched} m: say <a b c d>.map: { $^ключ => $^стоимость }
camelia rakudo-moar 643c0f: OUTPUT«(a => b c => d)␤»
unmatched} :/ 13:34
AlexDaniel m: say <a b c d>.map: { $^ключ => $^значение }
camelia rakudo-moar 643c0f: OUTPUT«(b => a d => c)␤»
unmatched} right
jnthn: why is it? English isn't even the most common language.
pmurias variable names in Russian seem like a bad practice
lucs We'd like to use words for symbols, but before anything else, they're symbols. 13:35
ShimmerFairy only if you're not Russian.
unmatched} pmurias: not if you're Russian
...working in Russia... for a Russian code shop
jnthn unmatched}: Yes, but even then it's rare to write code in one lnaguage and then afterwards translate it to another. :)
AlexDaniel unmatched}: I'd say that in programming context “стоимость” is either “cost” or “weight”
though I've never thought about it 13:36
pmurias unmatched}: I wouldn't name variables in my native language Polish either
jnthn unmatched}: And if you're authoring the code in Russian in the first place you'd either pick words that naturally work or just use a different language construct. :)
AlexDaniel haha. That's a nice argument because none of the Russian words work naturally :D
unmatched} pmurias: that's because you speak English. If all I know is Russian, transliterating Russian into English alphabet seems silly, consiring you can just use Russian
ItayAlmog m: class P { has $x = 5; say $!x; } 13:37
camelia rakudo-moar 643c0f: OUTPUT«5===SORRY!5=== Error while compiling <tmp>␤Variable $!x used where no 'self' is available␤at <tmp>:1␤------> 3class P { has $x = 5; say $!x7⏏5; }␤»

ItayAlmog m: class P { my $x = 5; say $x; $x++; say $x }
camelia rakudo-moar 643c0f: OUTPUT«5␤6␤»
ShimmerFairy There is something to be said for preferring English where possible/convenient though. Considering you have to look at English words in Perl 6 (by default) already, among the other usual reasons.
unmatched} pmurias: no idea. They do have translated Perl 5 13:38
jnthn AlexDaniel: That's unlucky... 13:39
pmurias unmatched}: you mean one with Russian keywords?
unmatched} jnthn: still, $^a and $^b encode position, which is relevant in $^ twigil, while $^key and $^value encode meaning and inherently place the encoded position information onto the backseat, hence bugs can creep in
pmurias: probably not. But when you don't know English you don't learn of BEGIN/map/sort as words that have some meaning outside of the language, but rather as words that make the language do things. 13:40
AlexDaniel no, there's no Russian CPAN… stop making it sound like Russia is some kind of an isolated island :D 13:41
unmatched} s:g/language/programming language/;
SourceBaby unmatched}, Ehhh... I'm too scared to run that code.

kyclark I've made a module in my "t" (test) directory with a couple of subs I'd like to share. If I "use lib '.'" everything is fine when I'm /in/ the "t" dir, but if I execute one dir up (e.g., "make test") then it fails. In Perl 5 I might use FindBin $Bin. 19:12

huggable unmatched}, Added FindBin as use lib $*PROGRAM.dirname.IO.parent.child("lib").Str; # finds lib/ for scripts in bin/ or t/
unmatched} $*PROGRAM is the test file filename, .dirname is the directory it's in, .IO.parent gives you parent directory and .child('lib') on that gives you 'lib' inside that directory 19:33
And .Str just coerces it to something use lib likes
So $*PROGRAM.dirname.Str may be enough for you 19:34
