Set by Zoffix on 25 May 2018.
jnthn El_Che: Yes, I think the disconnect was that I designed precomp as a cache that you should never care about the insides of, and had nowhere near enough idea of how packaging/distribution works to know this might not really fly. Thankfully, folks more clueful on those things are taking care of that area now. :-) 00:01
El_Che \o/ 00:03
jnthn: I think of it as a necessary evil for now, that will disapear once perl6 is faster
jnthn Oh, we won't ever get rid of precomp, I don't think.
El_Che or hide it better :) 00:04
jnthn Yes, "hide it" is precisely what I was trying to do. The whole point of the SHA-1s was "you should totally not be poking in here, take a hint" :)
El_Che as it, show the original module names in errors instead of sha1
jnthn I thought that already was happening?
El_Che not on the last stacktrace I saw 00:05
jnthn Hmmm. I thought, sans --ll-exception, they were translated
El_Che lemme check
jnthn I may well be wrong on that, but at least my expectation is that they are :)
geekosaur the original name should be displayed along with the hashed one 00:06
MasterDuke jnthn: thanks, i'll take a look there
jnthn geekosaur: By default, or by using --ll-exception to ask for it?
geekosaur by default
jnthn OK, reasoning?
geekosaur that I don't know 00:07
possibly in case it was something internal/precomp-related going wrong
since it was done while precomp was still a bit troublesome
jnthn Oh, hang on, are you saying how things are, or arguing how things should be? 00:08
kkrev considering linenoise is apparently problematic and stock readline is broken on many distros I might humbly suggest you get rid of the line perl6 spits out on the console suggesting both of them. rlwrap works pretty well.
El_Che nope
jnthn I'd assumed the latter, but perhaps shouldn't have
El_Che jnthn: i see sha1 paths gist.github.com/nxadm/e84b72cc23d5...6e08ad3dd9 00:09
geekosaur I'm saying what it has been doing ever snce people complained about the hashes back then
jnthn Ah, OK
geekosaur El_Che, note the names after the hashes? 00:10
that is what was added
El_Che that's the good part
the sha1 is the one that make me grind my teeth
geekosaur ok, you;re saying the hash should be made not to be at all. suspect you will get argyument there
no I anot going to try to dig up the old discussion that led to this 00:11
jnthn Yeah, I'd somehow thought we only showed the "good part" and you got the hash under --ll-exception
El_Che geekosaur: that's what I meant by well hidden (an implementation detail)
jnthn e.g. concise by default, all detail upon request
El_Che +1
El_Che I was told the line nr matched, so for debuggin purposes it should be transparent 00:12
geekosaur but note that if you follow that path and look at that line number, you should see thecode in question
so shall everything provide full filesystem mappings so that editors that parse these things work, or is that an unnecessary detail? 00:13
it mis not present in a file called Zef::Client
not even in that directory
El_Che geekosaur: yes, it's usable and useful. But ugly
geekosaur bnecause you can have multiple versions installed
or potentially a module with the same name but a different authority 00:14
El_Che true
about: kkrev's sugestion, if someone is in touch with Linenoise or Readline authors, please ping them 00:15
as perl6 indeed recommends the modules and they both are broken at least on the latest LTS ubuntu (probably the biggest install base) 00:16
(I was thinking of adding of the 2 to rakudo-pkg) 00:17
araraloren morning :) 02:36
ZeonPeon o/ 04:50
Is there any perl6 language construct like lisp's "quote"? 04:51
MasterDuke ZeonPeon: what does that do? 05:07
ZeonPeon Are you familiar with lisp? 05:13
if so, it transforms lisp code into a list which can be manipulated (and turned back into lisp code with unquote) 05:16
geekosaur I'm familiar, I just don;t see how it fits. A name like $foo is *already* quoted, in that sense; you don't need syntax to prevent a name from being dereferenced.
If what you were looking for was the opposite, that does exist
oh, you mean backquotes.
there's a macro extension, which is not well defined as yet
ZeonPeon I was looking to capture a function call to be manipulated by an operator
I was hoping to make a dirty hack version of elixers pipe ( |> ) operator 05:17

squashable6 AlexDaniel, 🍕🍕 SQUASHathon is in progress! The end of the event in ≈6 hours. See github.com/rakudo/rakudo/wiki/Mont...Squash-Day
AlexDaniel, Log and stats: gist.github.com/cdcc39cf4c63a50c9c...ea07baa2cb
geekosaur anyway I don't think you can do that as such currently 05:22
ZeonPeon bummer, I guess it's still "early days"
geekosaur perl 6 is not lisp 05:23
ZeonPeon sadly
araraloren thinking in Perl 6 :) 05:24
ZeonPeon I guess that's a week ban?
araraloren what ?
ZeonPeon off colour jokes? 05:25
araraloren haha
geekosaur lisp is somewhat unusual in letting you capture any expression as an AST. I don't think a form as general as lisp's is ever intended. not sure it's even possible as rakudo is implemented; already things like thunking need to be special cases in the grammar, not a general mechanism 05:26
ZeonPeon I like it as a possiblility (not that I would use it effectively often) 05:28
geekosaur I don't much. mostly because I know what it costs to support it ghenerally
araraloren people always want some they may don't need it :) 05:29
ZeonPeon I know b'y 05:31
Tison \o 06:49
hi guys
Tison is `knowhow` a perl6 INTERNAL keyword? I've seen it at jnthn's OO::Monitor but it is not documented. 06:51
anyway, how `knowhow` works
interesting sentence :-)
btw, our ecosystem can have modules having same name, right? IIRC we use :auth to distinguish it, but I'm not that sure 06:52
araraloren they are in different repo, such as github/cpan
jmerelo Tison: I'll have to check. Anything with HOW is usually part of the metamodel, and this one tends to be implementation-dependent. So it might be Rakudo internal 06:54
araraloren where the knowhow, I am not see it
jmerelo araraloren: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/search?q=..._q=knowHOW 06:55
araraloren I mean in OO::Monitor.. 06:55
damaxi Hey :)
araraloren okay, that's fine
Tison docs.perl6.org/language/mop#Bootst...g_concerns 06:56
some sentences about `knowhow`
araraloren so, it said NQP has a .. 06:57
it's maybe not stable in mean
jmerelo Tison: yep, but it's NQP.
Tison araraloren: seems like I misremembered it :-( 06:58
jmerelo You can apparently use it github.com/perl6/mu/blob/bafe57579...d_method.t
araraloren okay
jmerelo But that code is old, so who knows. It's probably called something else now. 06:59
Tison ok, back to modules have same name. I know that they are in different repos, but do we distinguish them by `zef install <module>:auth<...>`? 07:02
..if we use zef to install module
araraloren yeah, I am not well know it
jmerelo Tison: what else could you use? Yep, that's the way to distinguish them. 07:03
Tison thanks :P 07:04

Summertime is there a way to get perl6 to not output unicode versions of quotes around things or whatever? 11:36
makes debugging a grammar a bit of a pain
moritz Summertime: you can just call .Str on the match object to get only the matched string, and no information about captures 11:40
Summertime: there's also Grammar::Tracer
Summertime: I've also written more about debugging grammars in smile.amazon.com/dp/1484232275/
Summertime I don't mind the extra information! just some part of my environment is junked up in some way 11:42
moritz maybe fix that? :) 11:47
perlgeek.de/en/article/set-up-a-cl...nvironment 11:48
Summertime hmm 11:58
dunno how practical that'd be for me
El_Che Summertime: you may have the wrong priorities if you start adapting programs to be non utf8 :) 12:01
Summertime oh I don't doubt that, but... something's junked, and I'm not exactly sure what, and I'm not smart enough to work it out 12:04
El_Che most os'es come nowadays out of the box with urf8 support 12:09
anyway, moritz .Str is a good workaround 12:10
lizmat or shorter: prefix ~ 12:16
El_Che run a utf8 capable VM :) 12:17
jnthn Tison: knowhow is a mechanism for bootstrapping the object system. It declares a type using the most primitive existing meta-object, and in fact the only one that a Perl 6 runtime needs to provide. It knows how to have attributes and methods and type-match precisely against itself. No inheritance, no role composition, etc. All other OO features are implemented then in NQP or Perl 6 code. 12:31
Tison: There's very little use for it, unless you decide you'd like to bootstrap an object system from scratch. :-) 12:32
The main interesting observation is that we don't need to implement things like inheritance, role composition, subset types, enum types, etc. at the level of the VM. Just one very minimal object system that enables writing more interesting meta-objects is enough to base the rest on. 12:34
As it happens, roles and, to a limited degree, inheritance, are quite nice for factoring a complex meta-model, so NQP's relatively simple object system has meta-objects built on knowhow, and Perl 6 has meta-objects implemented atop of the NQP object system. 12:35
moritz and if your mind isn't bent enough yet, read "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol" by Kiczales et al 12:40
:)
jnthn My mind's so bent I don't find this stuff mind-bending any more. :P 12:41
El_Che just waiting to snap :) 12:42
P6 ook looks very nice to most people, I think. Haven't heard bad things about it 12:43

El_Che oops 14:35
we did the same commit
andreoss araraloren: I used to want JVM backend to run perl6 on Solaris
El_Che andreoss: jvm is part of the rakudo compiler
rakudo has a moarvm and jvm backend (where the moarvm is the more advanced one for now) 14:36
andreoss: rakudo already runs on Solaris. samcv did the work and tested it recently
(it used to fail on libuv in the past)
araraloren will rakudo have js backend in the future, NQP have a js backend under construction 14:37
andreoss El_Che: I've already changed the job 14:38
moritz araraloren: rakudo already has a "js" branch
araraloren oh, so I don't understand, why we need 3 backend ?
moritz because you cannot rakudo Perl 6 in the browser right now (js) 14:39
moarvm because it's the most versatile one
araraloren Perl 6 will run on the browser ?
moritz and jvm because some shops are very experienced with JVM, and are suspicious of everything that's not JVM
El_Che araraloren: we don't need it. People work on what they find useful. And tha depends on what ecosystem they need to work 14:40
andreoss araraloren: it'd be much easier to sneak perl6 into prduction with JVM backend
moritz and with open source projects, the question typically isn't "do we need it?" but "does somebody implement/maintain it?"
araraloren okay 14:41
El_Che araraloren: if it makes it easier to digest, most efforts seem to be focused on moarvm 14:42
I certainly can see the value of a js and jvm backend, though
araraloren I found we build it with node.js, Is node.js is server side language ? or is my mistake 14:43
El_Che it can be used on the client
araraloren oh, great 14:45
thanks
Summertime for / (<['"]>) <-[ ??? ]> * $0 /; how do I not match $0 in the center there? 14:48
andreoss pmd is not very happy about java code rakudo got
may be i should try to fix some of it? 14:49
jnthn What's pmd?
andreoss java's linter 14:50
araraloren m: say "aaa" ~~ /(\w)$0/;
camelia ｢aa｣
0 => ｢a｣
andreoss not actually java's 14:51
i guess it has rulesets even for perl
no, i'm wrong it has only copy-paste code detection for Perl 14:53
Summertime araraloren, looking to not match though, so, the opposite of $0 I guess? 14:55
andreoss >Stage parse : 339.055 14:56

Summertime I'll see if I can work a lookahead in 14:59
araraloren JVM is slower than moarvm

mscha This works as well, so it is indeed a context thing, but I'm not reifying @m now, am I? 17:28
geekosaur mscha, I think what goes on here is that the sink context is that of the 'for' 17:29
jmerelo mscha: you're using @m[$i]<>, decontainerizing and thus not reifying @m[$i]. That is why if you "say", it's reified. If you just did the multiplication without decontainerizing, the multiplication would reify

mscha That's pretty close to what I'm actually trying to do. But I still don't really understand why it doesn't work without the dummy statement. 17:40
geekosaur I feel like the for is optimizing it away because it ends up in the for's result context where it is discarded, possibly because it's part of a list 17:43
we've had bugs like that before
geekosaur and "features" (Failures don't fire in that case because why loop through a list thats's being discarded?) 17:43
mscha m: my @m = [1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]; for @m -> @r { my $div = @r[1]; @r X/= $div; $div = 0 }; dd @m; # works, still a dummy statement, but no warning
camelia Array @m = [[0.5, 1.0, 1.5], [0.8, 1.0, 1.2], [0.875, 1.0, 1.125]]
mscha So this is a bug, right, and worth reporting? 17:44
geekosaur I would say so, although others might differ 17:45
the line between "bug" and "normal but unexpected in some cases" is sometimes blurry 17:46
jmerelo mscha: I would say it's a trap. Things get complicated when you involve different contexts (item, sink...) 17:50
dummy statement == statement in sink context. There's usually no warning, it just sinks. 17:51
jmerelo mscha: it's worth the while to ask in StackOverflow; there will someone very knowledgeable who will explain what's going on. And they someone (or me) will reap the explanation and improve the documentation. 17:52

buggable New CPAN upload: PDF-Class-0.2.2.tar.gz by WARRINGD modules.perl6.org/dist/PDF::Class:cpan:WARRINGD 19:44
Juerd Why does Promise.in take an untyped $seconds, rather than a Duration? 20:50
moritz so that you don't have to coerce to Duration, if all you've got are seconds as an integer 20:56
El_Che doesn't type trumps untyped? 20:57
Juerd moritz: But wouldn't Duration() $d do that for you? 21:03
Although I wouldn't know what if that'd be any better
MasterDuke m: sub a(Duration() $d) { dd $d }; a(123) 21:04
camelia No such method 'Duration' for invocant of type 'Int'
in sub a at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
MasterDuke though i agree that a Duration multi for Promise.in seems logical 21:09
moritz aye 21:22

open() returns a Failure and doesn't throw

Give a little example on how to to test for Failure and easily get a
