moritz its structure is simpler, which makes it easier to understand, but you have to do more yourself 08:15

timotimo what makes it so fragile? and how hard would it be to have a fallback server somewhere? 11:31
tadzik well, mostly feather reboots make it fragile
timotimo does feather have systemd? you could set it up to run the server even on your uid/gid 11:32
tadzik and it's still just a starman server running on my account, which I restart after every reboot

timotimo i think someone said we would have that server run on port 80 on "the regular" web server at some near point 11:33

carlin so ~30 concurrent requests will bring down the server, whereas with P5 and python 100s of requests don't even register 12:17
(server has 2GB RAM) 12:18
timotimo yeah
we're aware rakudo uses more ram than is sensible
on the other hand
you can have a rakudo process run with multiple processes
and do async I/O
so you don't need the same amount of processes
carlin yeah there are definitely a better way to do it 12:19
timotimo python and perl5 do have some async i/o, too, but it can still bottlenecked on CPU
carlin just the simplest possible thing that works doesn't work
timotimo basically every other way is better, like FastCGI
12:19 noganex joined
timotimo and FastCGI isn't even that good 12:19
carlin are there any plans regarding the memory usage? what makes it so high? 12:20
timotimo several things 12:21
a good source of memory usage reduction had been to only deserialize objects, static frames and codes, types and stuff when they are used for the first time 12:22
12:22 noganex_ left
timotimo i'm hoping we can get some more usage reduction out of that 12:22
JimmyZ_ yeah, like lazy_load, lazy-deserialization, NSA, spesh
timotimo NSA and spesh don't help reduce the minimum memory usage 12:23
actually, i'd argue spesh increases it
but it shouldn't be very noticable
um
i may be mistaken
JimmyZ_ and on-stack-allocation frame? 12:24
timotimo disabling spesh gets "say 'test'" from 120 megabytes down to 107 megabytes
JimmyZ_: you mean what we'll get when we have escape analysis?
leaving spesh on but turning off the jit gets us to 112 megabytes 12:25
JimmyZ_ timotimo: nope, I mean what brrt ever said
timotimo ah, right
i thought that was mostly a cpu-time improvement
12:28 chenryn joined
JimmyZ_ and we don't have static optimizer before writing .moarvm 12:28
which may reduce the size ... 12:29
12:29 pecastro_ left
timotimo ah, yes 12:29
i was thinking we're probably generating excessive set instructions by having InstructionList objects with a given result_reg and not using the knowledge of that result_reg in the "last" instruction 12:30
12:31 pecastro joined
JimmyZ_ if we have smart static optimizer like GCC :P 12:31
timotimo there's no reason why we couldn't have an off-line optimizer 12:32
like a program that loads a .moarvm file, optimizes the bytecode, writes it back 12:33
we could invoke that during installation for excessively big things like the core setting as well as the stage0
JimmyZ_ yup
12:33 vendethiel left
timotimo maybe we could make the process that does the optimization "portable" so that it could be moved into moarvm itself at some point 12:34
JimmyZ_ like: mark it as static optimization or dyn optimization? 12:35
12:35 vendethiel joined
timotimo that's not what i mean 12:35
our dynamic optimizer should of course always grow, because it has more data to work with
we don't have the necessary data from the logging stage and the arguments passed when we'd statically optimize 12:36
JimmyZ_ yeah 12:46

It is a closure too
Tehre are two differences with anonymous sub
1) -> blocks are transparent to return 15:24

long article about Perl 6 in Russian
looks interesting!
TimToady on the memory usage issue, when I get done debugging my epsilon-removing optimization, NFAs will be about 40% smaller 17:43
that should help startup time too
arnsholt TimToady++
TimToady unfortunately epsilon removal uncovers a bug where something is producing a state with no edges 17:44
arnsholt Whoops
TimToady so removing an epsilon point to it blows up
*pointing
about 2/3s of the epsilon can be removed though, just leaving the ones that describe a state fanout 17:45
which will get us a lot closer to DFAability
arnsholt Sounds promising
We don't want to make them deterministic in all cases though, do we? 17:46
ugexe 'sudo cp perl6 /usr/bin' :cringe:
17:46 dwarring joined
TimToady there are various considerations 17:46
certainly we can't just do the naïve thing and generate all the states 17:47
arnsholt Yeah, that's what my memories of finite state automata reminded me
TimToady it would have to cache common states
and maybe just the first character of a token could usefully use a DFAish mapping to the first set of states without doing the whole thing
also, DFA interferes with any instrumentation you want to collect along the way, such as which alternative was taken, or what was the longest literal 17:48
plus it's more storage to cache DFA states, even if we don't generate them all 17:49
(and we can't, because our NFAs would certainly go exponential)
but those NFAs that start out with 50 or 100 tests could usefully dispatch to a known subset of states per character at least, since NFAs tend to be used to recognize the same tokens over and over 17:51
so I'll probably try DFAing the first decision point and see how it goes 17:52
but first I've got to get the reduced NFAs working right; they're fine if I just link past the useless epsilons, but it blows up if I remap the state numbers right now 17:53
due to the aforementioned bug
which I'm not fixing while I'm gabbing here... :) 17:54

ab5tract tl;dr - i posit that the current approach to set operators is broken because a) coercion is inconsistent, and b) mixes may as well be hashes for all the love they get from set operators 18:46
dalek c: 239bee5 | (Konrad Borowski)++ | lib/Language/operators.pod:
Fix compilation error in Foo.Bar::baz exmample.
 18:48
TimToady promotion to a wider type seems reasonable to me, though I'd like to see whether that produces any counter-intuitive effects on the other side
and if there are set or bag operators that make no sense on mixes, those probably should refuse to work with a mix argument rather than downcasting 18:50
if we take this approach
tl;dr I think I probably agree :) 18:52

TimToady well, I'm not really terribly interested in bringing up a full compiler on top of P5, which is what the STD parser runs on

TimToady and in many ways has surpassed STD
smls e.g. "1" --> Int, "1.0" --> Rat
ab5tract ah, sorry, i meant aside from me implementing the set promotions even in the face of a potential revert
smls: in what way does casting a Set to a Bag or Mix violate that?
smls Well, which of the Set/Bag/Mix types would the set operators map other types such as lists to? 19:09
Or would non-setty types no longer be allowed as arguments to those operators?
ab5tract always the most complicated partner
19:09 zakharyas left
ab5tract smls: if you pass two lists, you get Set 19:09
if you pass a list and a Bag, it bags the list 19:10
PerlJam ab5tract: humans aren't that good at predicting the future, thus the whirlpool model of development where we try stuff to see what happens :)
smls hm
ab5tract so the coercion logic is consistent
TimToady smls: we do some dwimmery on things that are forced through the textual bottleneck, sure, but what abstract said
you're worrying about the types of the keys, but ab5tract++ is talking about the types of the values
19:11 pecastro left
TimToady all of these things take objects as keys, and can coerce a list of objects 19:11
mvuets1 i must have wrong understanding all this time. my vision was that synopses defined moving parts and behavior of the language and STD.pm6 was an integral supplementing part that defined what the language syntax looked like
TimToady the only influence on the values is possible multiplicity in the input
or pairs, if you're coercing 19:12
19:12 denis_boyun_ left
smls the setops do coerce, currently 19:12
19:12 anaeem1_ left 19:13 anaeem1 joined
TimToady smls: in which case, you say what you intend to coerce to, or coerce to the more general of the mix types 19:13
the more general of the provided args, I should clarify
mvuets1: the specs and std are guidelines for writing tests, and for implementing to those tests
but it's really the tests that define the language 19:14
smls m: say <2, 4, 6> (<+) <2, 4, 4, 6, 6>
camelia rakudo-moar 91d899: OUTPUT«True␤»
TimToady which is a good thing, because nobody here is good at writing specs, and if anyone was good at it, the rest of us might run away screaming :)
moritz to all p6 advent authors: please put your posts into the "2014" category
PerlJam TimToady: ARe you (or someone else) going to vet all of the tests in roast at some point? 19:15
TimToady well, I started a pass on all the fudges, and got partway through S02 :)
ab5tract smls: yes, but they do not all coerce the same way. the listy ones tend to coerce to Bag if a Bag is present, whereas the comparators coerce to Set
smls Well, that's why there are separate baggy comparators 19:16
[Coke] TimToady: do we have a syntax agreed on yet for marking tests as part of a certain version of the spec?
mvuets1 TimToady: ah-ha! now i see! you reminded this: "In the past the Synopses have often been referred to as "the formal Perl 6 specification" and "specs", but this usage is being deprecated in favor of treating tests from the "roast" test suite as official specifications." taken from the synopses index page 19:17
19:17 anaeem1 left
ab5tract okay, then why are there not separate baggy operators for _all_ the operators? 19:17
TimToady [Coke]: nope
ab5tract also, why do none of our set operators treat Mixes as Mixes?
if you look at my pull request, i try to address all of this
19:17 Mso150_l_b joined
PerlJam [Coke]: probably whatever someone starts using will either be adopted or cause motion towards another syntax ;) 19:18

[Coke] #?v6.0.0 e.g. 19:18
TimToady well, I think the question comes down to how you treat a list with dups in it, by default 19:19
mvuets1 what is meant by fudges in the context of roast.git?
smls ab5tract: Well, maybe there *should* be 3 complete sets of operators for sets/bags/mixes
TimToady only if there were a systematic way to name them all, which there isn't
given we support math notations that already violate that... 19:20

smls ab5tract's proposal feels a little like "let's get rid of separate `==` and `eq` so we have less operators". 19:22
ab5tract smls: i *strongly* disagree with that position
psch i wouldn't interpret the proposal as such, either
TimToady it's more like, let's use + regardless of what kind of numbers we're adding
ab5tract on the contrary, imagine if we had separate operators for addition for Int and Rat
thanks TimToady :)
TimToady (and let's *not* use plus for concatenation!) 19:23
FROGGS yeah, we learned that one from JS :o)
TimToady well, not me
I've learned it from any number of languages, but not JS... 19:24
it seems to be a common failing among language designers
FROGGS ohh yes, I just wanted to say that one can see now that it proved to be the wrong way
TimToady well, if you think you're language is not extensible, you make the mistake of thinking you have to reuse your existing operators for other purposes, with resulting tragedies like >> in C++ 19:26
*your 19:27
TimToady hates on English orthography a bit... 19:28
FROGGS I find & in VB very disturbing (amongst many many other things)
TimToady hates on ASCII a bit too

TimToady in general, past history has shown that languages designers should try to keep an arms-length distance from large corporations 19:31
too much temporary corporate blessing usually backfires in the wider scheme of things 19:32
b2gills The reason Javascript is the way it is, is in part because the designer was told to make it look like Java 19:34
FROGGS I wouldn't mind getting sponsored by a bigger company though :o) 19:35
b2gills: but happily it does not feel like Java :o)
TimToady very much enjoys being sponsored by a small company, craigslist++ 19:36

raydiak tony-o: not precisely an answer, but if you want something to pass around and call without an object instance, a method is probably less suitable than e.g. a sub or pointy block
