dwarring looks at the advent brainstorming list "perl resources". there's a lot of good stuff out there that help me get going: specs, roast, perl6-examples, irc (live and logs), rossetta code, rakudo source (mostly written in Perl 6), doc.perl6.org, perl6 modules. and of-course the advent calendar 09:16
diakopter is there a comprehensive list of all Perl 6 blog posts? with ones that are bitrotteng/out-of-date clearly marked? that would be very helpful to someone trying to learn from blog posts 09:22
dwarring good question. didn't mention 6guts.wordpress.com/ for a start 09:24

lue++ # 'adverbly' post 11:00
I'm reading the part about adverbs and precedence, and I'm thinking that adverbs are probably just complicated enough for the average programmer not to grok them. :) 11:01
a bit like variant sigils in Perl 5.
jnthn Thankfully, the only place the average programmer is likely to actually run into them is on a subscript, which I guess can be explained in a grokkable way. 11:08

masak timotimo: usually when I rebase locally, I don't push to the same branch remotely, as that would require a push --force. 16:06
timotimo: (don't know if I got your use case exactly, but sounds like that one.)
timotimo right. i'll push to r-regex-optimizer :) 16:07

that works too.

timotimo well, it kind of has to, in order to represent it properly :)
woolfy So Inf is a constant in Perl 6. But Googol isnt? 16:27
woolfy (I saw in masak's advent blog define $googol but you could make Googol a constant just like Inf. Would be cool too. 16:27

raydiak should numeric constants perhaps automatically be integers if they don't have a fractional part? 16:48
moritz no: We have very clear rules of which literals produce what types 17:18
and since for example Num and Int arithmetic produce different results, it must be possible to write an integral Num 17:19
timotimo right
moritz: ack/nak on running the jvm spectests on r-regex_optimizer?
moritz timotimo: I'll start another spectest run 17:20
timotimo thank you! :)
BenGoldberg Speaking of regex optimization ... will there be something like perl5's 'study' operator, or is that for the distanct future? 17:26
timotimo please explain what that does to me? i never did any perl5
BenGoldberg It did some analysis of a string, so that future regex matches on that string ran faster. 17:28
timotimo ah, ok
sounds like a fun project
but probably for much later :)
BenGoldberg distant future, then :) 17:31
timotimo well, it really depends; rakudo development has a few people who are not focusing their efforts optimally (me, for example) 17:32
optimally, we would always be doing the most pressing bottleneck and the most interesting feature, but I tend to go around looking for fun optimizations to do and lacking features that bother me directly
moritz timotimo: now I get "nqp-j is too old" 17:34
timotimo er, whoops. i think you should be able to just rebase the nqp branch on current master
moritz I can also locally merge the nqp branch into master
timotimo sure
moritz does, and recompiles NQP 17:36
timotimo: should I do the same for the rakudo branch?
timotimo i'm trying it with a rebase, too 17:37
the rakudo branch is already rebased on newest nom, but you should just be able to merge nom into the old version of that branch
it's just a two-line change or something

lue masak: still quite a bit to do, but I feel like Pod6-ifying our specs at the moment :) 20:36
lue perl6++ making ?qx'echo $?' do the right thing. 20:37
eh... wait. nevermind :P
FROGGS hehe
lue tadzik: my idea is that maybe, just maybe, using qqx// will fix the issue. 20:39
moritz runs ./perl6-m -e 'say "Hello World"' for the first time
lue The "fails when works fine" thing for shell/run may seem random, but its occurrences are... strangely consistent.
moritz: \o/ now I want to try compiling perl6-m :) 20:40
masak me too!
moritz compiling Test.pm6 still fails, but who needs tests anyway? :-)
Unhandled exception: Cannot invoke this object (REPR: Uninstantiable, cs = 0) 20:42
why does that remind me of "I will not buy this record, it is scratched"? :-)
FROGGS moritz++ 20:47
lue gaah, using qqx seemed to have made it worse! :(
moritz with qqx it'll try to interpolate the $? or some parts of it in perl code 20:49
lue moritz: I'm retrying with "&& echo \$?" after the build command, see how it goes.
lue uhh... "Error executing process: Cannot allocate memory" 21:02
tadzik: ^^^ this comes from replacing the shell command with ?qqx"perl6 --target=pir --output=blib/lib/Panda/Project.pir lib/Panda/Project.pm && echo \$?" 21:03
tadzik :o 21:04
did our memory usage strangely grow recently?
lue tadzik: I will say that the => fetching panda step takes much longer than the other => fetching stages, from what I've perceived. 21:05
tadzik 'cos panda is much bigger :P 21:07
lue tadzik: apparently, replacing that line in my modifications to the qqx// thing I just pasted turned all my previous "False" results with "Error executing process: Cannot allocate memory". Which might be helpful. 21:08
(somehow, rakudo(-parrot?) is having issues with allocating memory.) 21:09
lue (the backtrace only mentions bin/panda (which catches the error) and rakudo's source files, btw.) 21:10
jnthn lue: Easiest thing is to grep for that message 21:11
lue jnthn: hey, I just typed ack -u in the panda repo :)
O.O $ ack -u 'Cannot allocate' ../rakudo 21:12
$
jnthn ack -u too :P
Try in nqp
Also for "Error executing" 21:13
lue Um... 'Cannot allocate' isn't in panda/ or rakudo/ or nqp/ or parrot/ . Lemme try searching other parts of the error. 21:14
lue would use -i to find more results, except he doesn't think error message should be transforming their casings :) 21:14
$ ack -u 'Error executing' ../parrot 21:15
../parrot/src/platform/generic/exec.c
289: "Error executing process: %s", strerror(errno));
I wonder if shell/run is experiencing the same issue, or if this is a result of using qqx// ... 21:16
FROGGS lue: shell/run is implemented in nqp in contrast to qx/qqx
lue FROGGS: unless you're saying qx is implemented in parrot, they could still share the same cause. 21:17
FROGGS lue: see rakudo/src/core/control.pm and look for QX 21:18
lue still thinks there could be a parrot underpinning to this mess. 21:24
timotimo underpinning for the fjords? 21:25
i think i'll write a short bit on the regex optimizer branch into the changelog 21:29
dalek kudo/nom: 67fcb5f | (Timo Paulssen)++ | docs/ChangeLog:

lue I really, really can't wait for perl6-m to get in working order. I'm getting tired of parrot. 21:35

r: say 1e0.WHAT
camelia rakudo-parrot e542a0, rakudo-jvm e542a0: OUTPUT«(Num)␤»
masak no, the scientific-notation 'e' makes a Num. 21:54
raydiak that's what I meant...an integer will produce an Int, unless you add the 'e' part...which IRL would still produce something considered an integer, but in perl 6 does not...correct? 21:58
(unless the part before or after the e was fractional, of course...then it wouldn't be an integer in either case) 21:59
lue also unless it's part of a Rat literal. 22:01
masak raydiak: no, the 'e' produces a Num, not an int. 22:02
lue masak: raydiak is switching freely between Perl 6's idea of integers an Mathematics' idea of integers. 22:03
raydiak ah, right...I should clarify: I often learn something new by mentally building a logical mapping between the new thing and something I already know 22:04
masak well, there are lots of ways a scientific-notation number could lead to Not An int.

camelia rakudo-parrot e542a0: OUTPUT«0.05␤»
masak p: say 3.14e0 22:05
camelia rakudo-parrot e542a0: OUTPUT«3.14␤»
lue raydiak: just remember that in Perl 6, how you write the number is more important than what the number is :) .
masak well, certainly that's true from a type perspective. 22:06
this, for example, works in Math, but not in Perl 6:
p: my Num $n = 4
camelia rakudo-parrot e542a0: OUTPUT«Type check failed in assignment to '$n'; expected 'Num' but got 'Int'␤ in block at /tmp/eNA2MqxXAQ:1␤ in any at /tmp/eNA2MqxXAQ:1␤ in any at gen/parrot/stage2/NQPHLL.nqp:1146␤ in any eval at gen/parrot/stage2/NQPHLL.nqp:1133␤ in any eva…»
masak 'night, #perl6 22:07
raydiak lue++: that's exactly what I was forgetting to focus on
\o g'night masak++ thanks for explaining

timotimo: do you have uncommitted changes?
woolfy FROGGS: I think it is quite a nice blog. Some typos (march -> March, rakudo -> Rakudo) and some sentences that need a second look from you. 23:47
woolfy FROGGS: and you switch from using the word 'slangs' to the word 'grammar', and after 'A slang was born' the word 'slang' is no longer used. Did you intend to write about slang or about grammar? 23:48
FROGGS: just re-read your blog tomorrow morning. You will find the words you need, I am sure. 23:49
