perlawhirl the Download links at moarvm.org/releases.html do not work 00:20
MasterDuke for doc code samples that die/throw at runtime, not compile time, should we use something other than the <compile time error>, or does that mean the compile time of the docs, not necessarily the compile time of the example?
MasterDuke perlawhirl: yeah, looks like it's missing a 'MoarVM-' at the beginning of the file name 00:21
skids m: sub l () { 1, 2 }; my $a = [3, 4]; @$a = (1,2); $a.say; 00:32
camelia [1 2]
skids m: sub l () { 1, 2 }; my $a; @$a = (1,2); $a.say; # This is a skipped roast test 00:33
camelia Cannot modify an immutable Any ((Any))
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
skids I think that test is dubious. It is supposed to test that it is a list assignment, which it is. Autivivifying an array into a scalar due to a @ prigil... should that really happen? 00:34
(and there's a similar test with $a[])
mcmillhj Which one of these is more idiomatic: "abc".comb() or "abc".split("", :skip-empty)? 00:40
skids .comb is not obscure, it is used fairly commonly. 00:43
.split only if you are trying to write code readable to people who don't know Perl6. 00:44
mcmillhj skids++ thanks, I'll keep this in mind

perlawhirl I would hazard a guess that most of those `split`s are splitting on a delimiter, and that most `comb`s are not... but i could be wrong :D 00:54
mostly it's about intent. one of these conveys intent more clearly:
'this-and-that'.comb(/\W/) -vs- 'this-and-that'.split('-')
the split makes more sense as that's the intent of the result. 00:55
but for iterating or enumerating the chars of a string... `comb()` all the way 00:56
erm... there's an error above... i meant: 'this-and-that'.comb(/\w+/)
skids i dunno I think there is just as valid "intent" argument for .comb in that case. 00:57
perlawhirl i guess it depends on the context, yes
AlexDaniel I'd say the intent is even more clear with comb… 00:58
perlawhirl interesting to note... in those examples, split produces a Seq, comb produces a List
skids however, .comb(','?<(<-[',']>)>','?) would be a bad intent expression
AlexDaniel perlawhirl: your rakudo is old, it seems 00:59
6c: dd ‘this-and-that’.comb(/\W/) 01:00
committable6 AlexDaniel, gist.github.com/0d43777986f9f37c34...799c516208

jmerelo O/ 05:11
yoleaux 9 May 2018 21:07Z <AlexDaniel> jmerelo: well, that issue in particular is not a problem with Whateverable or how it builds rakudo, but it's rakudo itself that is/was broken on HEAD
9 May 2018 21:07Z <AlexDaniel> jmerelo: so generally if you see something like that you should feel free to file a rakudo bug
jmerelo .tell AlexDaniel thanks, although I don't have all the information on how that binary is built. I'll try to anyway. 05:12
yoleaux jmerelo: I'll pass your message to AlexDaniel.
jmerelo One of the (still) unanswered questions in StackOverflow: custom hashing function for set/hash stackoverflow.com/questions/477360...-in-perl-6 05:35
A solution was provided (sort of), but still there's no canonical answer.
lookatme jmerelo, if for Array, there is a question about it 05:55
m: my %data := SetHash.new: Set(1, 2), Set(3, 4); say %data{Set(1, 2)}
camelia True
lookatme stackoverflow.com/questions/500510...a-hash-key
and they explain why it is not working for Array 05:56
jmerelo lookatme: thanks; I had a vague recollection I had seen something like that...

lookatme Is someone well know cp :) 06:51
I want track the cp progressing, and I found -v is helpful option 06:52
But when I catch the stdout of cp, it can not get anything before copying over :( 06:53
And seems like other linux command also faced this problem
such as
cp -v xx yy /dir | more
cp -v xx yy /dir | cat 06:54
It didn't print anything before copying finished
geekosaur lookatme, that is output buffering. take a look at the stdbuf command, or consider using something like the script command 07:00
if you capture standard output to a file or pipe, the convention is to switch to block buffering, usually with a 4k or 8k block sie
size
lookatme oh, I will take a look at stdbuf :) 07:01
thanks
jmerelo lookatme: you might want to check rsync www.cyberciti.biz/faq/show-progres...-transfer/ 07:08
lookatme jmerelo, ok thanks 07:20
I just doing some exercise about Perl 6 07:24
jmerelo lookatme: we're here to help. Good luck. 07:27
lookatme github.com/araraloren/perl6-getopt...ple/xcp.p6
jmerelo lookatme: using nqp. Scary :-)
lookatme yeah, it is okay now 07:28
jmerelo lookatme: great :-)
lookatme yeah, I just want get size of the file
so don't want create a IO::Path or some other object
jmerelo lookatme: if you allow me a suggestion, wouldn't "Advanced" be better than "Advance"? 07:29
lookatme where?
jmerelo lookatme: an option would be to use posix functions through the nativecall interface. Nqp is not really intended for human consumption...
lookatme: in the module name. 07:30
lookatme oh
maybe, but I have to modify a lot of things if I change the name 07:31
lookatme anyway thanks for your suggestion, my EN is not good :) 07:33
I think it's worth to using nqp if we need better performance 07:34
When I write my app github.com/araraloren/perl6-app-findsource, it is slowly when using IO::Path 07:35
Of course, I am hope some day I can using IO::Path instead of it :) 07:36
jmerelo lookatme: the problem with NQP is that it does not have any kind of stable interface; it might change at any moment. It might be faster, but the functions, their name, functionality, might change or disappear. That's why it might be better to use NativeCall. Stable, solid interface, machine-line speed. 07:39
lookatme jmerelo, yeah, that's true 07:40
jmerelo lookatme: check it out here github.com/perl6/nqp#using-nqp
lookatme hmm, I know this 07:41
ufobat is there a way to convert a perl5 regex into a perl6 regex? 10:08
El_Che I know there is/was a perl5 mode, but I don't know if it works well (heard iti didn't) 10:09
jnthn rx:P5/.../ will parse it as Perl 5 syntax 10:10
As to how well it works: depends what features you're depending on.
ufobat cool 10:12
but there is not other way round, i mean, assuming you have a p6 regex in a $variable and you want to bring it to perl5? 10:13
lizmat no: the P5 adverb just changes the parsing: if the p6 regex is in a variable, it's already parsed 10:15
timotimo you do get the source string of the regex, though, don't you? 10:16
you could re-parse that into a QAST and transform it at that level
though it might be difficult if you have things like nested captures and backreferences and such, and even trickier if you have subrules that you call
ufobat but that sounds at least possible :-) 10:17
i put this on the last position of the todo list for my sereal module
ty :9 10:18
El_Che ufobat: you have a million line code base in perl6 that you automatically want to convert to perl 5? :)
ufobat maybe you can just convert very basic things 10:21
i dont know
sereal is quite perl5 specific 10:22
there are other things that doesnt match perfectly into p6, i think 10:24
jmerelo Re: creating new tags in StackOverflow. A bunch of us can do that, and now the pace of new questions seem to be picking up enough to merit being more specific. I was thinking about creating the "zef" and "cro" tags. What do you think? 10:26
jnthn jmerelo: Hm, I hadn't realized they had to be explicitly created; the Cro docs actually suggest people can get help by posting questions tagged "perl6" and "cro" on SO. :) 10:31
El_Che hehe 10:39
are only admins allowed to create tags?
jmerelo jnthn: That means that it probably exists already...
El_Che: only if you have 1500 karma 10:40
jnthn jmerelo: I haven't seen it used so far, actually :) 10:41
jmerelo jnthn: you do now :-) stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/cro
jnthn Hm, if it's only 1500 I probably can create it :)
ah, you did it :)
jmerelo jnthn: I did create the tag, but it's got to be filled up, it's got no usage guidance. You can probably help with that :-) 10:42
jnthn Apparently I don't have privs for that yet :) 10:43
Oh, I can submit a proposal and it'll be peer reviewed
Interesting. Just noticed on my profile page it has an "Impact" (estimate of people reached)
jmerelo jnthn: right.
jnthn I've written only a handful of Perl 6 answers, and apparently already by impact is ~4k 10:44
s/by/my/
jmerelo jnthn: congrats :-)
jnthn: you are now in Perl 6 doc glossary :-), FWIW. Also adding your surname, right now, to the dictionary so that the spell check does not protest 10:46
jnthn What did I do to deserve that? :P
El_Che karma == reputation?
jnthn El_Che: Yeah :)
El_Che lolz
i
jmerelo El_Che: we called it Karma in the Slashdot days, and it stuck
El_Che i am slightly below and I posted a few tiles in 2009 10:47
and last in 2011
timotimo i have a stackoverflow impact of ~45k, but it's mostly because of one answer to a python question i gave years ago 10:50
El_Che wow, royalty
timotimo that answer got its last upvote on may 3rd 10:51
jnthn Yeah, I've noticed having written some answers, one can occasionally get more reputation from those written long ago :)
timotimo aye 10:52
jmerelo timotimo: people just find them when googling, and usually drop a friendly vote or two. I always do it when I find something valuable. 10:54
timotimo at the GPW there was actual stackoverflow royalty, btw
El_Che I was compelled to answer a SO question to stop the voice of jmerelo in my head 12:15
stmuk this sort of thing is worrying -=> www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/8...or_package 12:27
I wonder if anysort of technical solutions are possible long term maybe like granting/revoking permissions to some sort of more gradual restricted setting? 12:28
s/gradual/granular
El_Che stmuk: in my head I thought that that was the idea after Star (I know now it's not): a list of vouched versions of specific modules 12:31
pmurias stmuk: I don't think any technical solutions would help much 12:35
stmuk: maybe drone strike on perpetrators would help a bit, but I don't see use being able to arrange that ;) 12:36
ufobat timotimo, did you notice my oneliner to reproduce my free() issue? 13:14
ktown Is it possible to tweek one core pm6 file then deploy this change without recompiling and installing all of perl6? 13:34
timotimo ufobat: i saw it! i'll try it soon-ish, currently no opportunity
jnthn ktown: No 13:38
timotimo ktown: if you want to experiment with changes, you can use "augment" 13:39
ktown jnthn: thanks this question came to mind when I wanted you test your patch for src/core/IO/Socket/Async.pm6 13:42
I modified the one line, then was thinking how can the compile and install be faster? 13:44
jnthn Faster hardware :)
Well, and better compiler optimizations :-)
All the src/core/ are concatenated into a single file, though
Which forms the outer lexical scope of all programs 13:45
ufobat timotimo, okay cool :-)
El_Che ktown: fork rakudo and let travis build it? It won't be faster, but it will be remote 13:48
pmurias any hints why I am getting java.lang.RuntimeException: No such attribute '$!do' for this object when trying to make j-all afte make j-bootstrap-files on the jvm backend? 14:02

 15:41
timotimo gfldex: cool! 15:45
gfldex: it doesn't make it better, but you can also pass :match to .comb that will also give you the results as match objects. i tend to use that more often than match :g for some reason 15:46
but i see now that you're not using :g at all here, so your approach is cleaner
jmerelo gfldex: great :-)
jmerelo You probably know, or don't, that while I'm doing the TPF grant I'm staying at home 3 days a week, to focus on the stuff. While I'm doing that, I'm also cooking for the whole family. 15:57
Baseline is: I'm cooking. And there was a desert competition today in the CS Faculty where I teach. So I cooked this jj.github.io/manzanachos-con-natamole/ 15:58
Well, it's in Spanish, but it's basically a riff on the nachos with guacamole, only sweet. nachos become sweet apple and cinnamon chips, guacamole is still guacamole, but honey and vanilla and a bit of lime zest for color instead of garlic. 15:59
So I won.
Only two competing deserts, but what the hell, I wasn't second.
Anyway. I'm telling you this because if it weren't for the Perl Foundation, I would be going pretty much every day to my office, not cooking for the family, not learning to cook, and so on. 16:00
So this is kind of a collective thanks :-) And an offer to cook a few for the next Perl meetup, if anyone's interested. Apple chips are (obviously) vegan, natamole is not. Maybe for the next London Perl workshop :-) 16:02
El_Che jmerelo is on a roll! :) 16:06
stmuk jmerelo: see comments on acbc262 16:25
stmuk actually maybe the cheatsheet should just be totally moved from mu into p6doc 16:28
stmuk with a note left in mu of its new location 16:28
ideally also the html should probably be generated automatically from the txt version 16:30
comborico1611 How do you load a function from a file into memory of REPL?
*routine
Not like executing a file from REPL. 16:31
jmerelo comborico1611: I don't think there's any REPL-specific function 16:36
You will have to load the file and then EVAL 16:37
comborico1611 What is EVAL? Do you mean it has to be run via the file? 16:37
Read Eval Print.
comborico1611 Instead of copy and pasting the routine into the REPL, I'm wondering if there is a way to load it from file. 16:38
jmerelo comborico1611: this EVAL docs.perl6.org/routine/EVAL 16:39
comborico1611 Okay. Thanks!
jmerelo comborico1611: you're welcome
comborico1611 jmerelo: How do I load file into REPL? 16:41
jmerelo comborico1611: same way you would into a Perl 6 program. IO.slurp. 16:42
far as I can tell, there are no REPL-specific commands.
comborico1611 Thanks!

[Coke] I don't understand "no such thing as a REPL" 16:54
jmerelo [Coke]: There's a Read, Eval, Print, Loop. 16:56
jmerelo [Coke]: The REPL allows for history storage, prints the result. That's pretty much it. 16:56
[Coke] ..I know what a REPL is. you said there's no such thing. 16:58
which seems demonstrably false.
jmerelo [Coke]: OK, fair enough.
moritz I think jmerelo's sentiment was that you shouldn't look for special REPL tools to solve your problems 16:59
jmerelo moritz: that's what I meant. Thanks :-)
moritz instead, ask yourself "how would I do it outside the REPL?", and then reuse that solution inside the REPL
jmerelo moritz: correct.
comborico1611 The opposite method is done with Lisp, working inside REPL to apply to outside. I think. 17:00

b2gills hythm_: Also you can directly message camelia
hythm_ m: grammar G { rule TOP { <a> <b>}; rule a {'a'}; rule b { <?after <a> >'b' }; }; G.parse('a b').say 22:45
camelia ｢a b｣
a => ｢a｣
b => ｢b｣
b2gills Is there anything you are having trouble figuring out? 22:45
hythm_ Why it does not parse if the "space" placed before 'b' ,,, and only works when the space is inside <?after <a> > 22:46
timotimo the "significant whitespace" stuff allows you to have whitespace after the opening { of the rule declaration without having it actually count as a space 22:47
so rule a {'a'} and rule a { 'a'} are equivalent 22:48
b2gills hythm_: In general, I would say err on the side of using tokens instead of rules 22:49
hythm_ Understood this part. But What about inside look ahead regex,, it does not work as <?after <a>> 'b' ,,and works as <?after <a> >'b' 22:52
hythm_ I think the space should be significant after closing <?after > 22:53
b2gills hythm_: I still have difficulties knowing where a space is significant in a rule, and I've been here a while. 22:55
I mean it could be intentional, or a bug as far as I know 22:56
Juerd I've given up on trying to remember those whitespace rules. I'll write them explicitly :) 22:57
hythm_ Yes its confusing somrtimes, but the regex looks cleaner without inserting whitespaces every where 23:00
Todd Hi All. I need to do a director of a folder. In p5, it was `opendir $DIR, $WorkingDir;`. How do I do this in p6?
timotimo use "dir" 23:02
Todd checking the docs
MasterDuke e: say dir '.'
evalable6 ("bin".IO "t".IO "sandbox".IO "3rdparty".IO ".gitmodules".IO ".gitignore".IO "Sakefile".IO…
MasterDuke, Full output: gist.github.com/549085deaccf3a5a3f...2acaec5789
Todd Hi Timo: that was too easy. Yet another wonderful P6 clean up of p5. :-) 23:04
MasterDuke dpk: looks like yoleaux has gone missing from #moarvm, #perl6-dev, and #perl6 23:10
dpk fixed 23:10
dpk thanks for the heads up 23:10
MasterDuke dpk: thanks! 23:11

camelia ok 1 - fair enough
ok 2 - maybe but ?
not ok 3 - this should work at least as well as my
