tinita does anyone else have the problem of a slow vim when editing perl 6 with syntax highlighting? 00:05
tinita I have vim 8.0.378 00:06
MasterDuke tinita: yeah, it gets slow with large files 00:28
tinita MasterDuke: hm, 109 lines... 00:30
tinita i'll try with a fresh .vimrc and only :syn on 00:31
timotimo one of the best feelings: having your terminal suddenly write "warning: your hard drive is failing" written all over it 00:41
timotimo thankfully it was only because i had unplugged an external usb hard drive while the computer was suspended 00:41
raydiak \o 00:47
lookatme morning .o/ 01:12
kshannon It is it possible to do the equivalent of $*W.find_lexical_container_type at runtime? e.g. 'my %a;' produces a variable that has an Associative constraint on binding, but the variable itself contains a Hash: %a.WHAT == Hash; but trying to do %p := 1 gives an error message referring to Associative. 02:00
How do I ask %p what it's binding constraint is? 02:01
Do I need to somehow get acces to the lexpad instead of the variable?
kshannon Oops typo, I was meaing one variable not two, please read %a wehere I said %p... 02:16
m: my %a; say %a.WHAT; say %a.of; say %a.VAR.WHAT; say %a.VAR.of; %a := a => 1; say %a.WHAT; say %a.of; 02:19

MasterDuke Associative and Positional are roles, so you would want "does" 02:21
kshannon The question is how do I ask %a what it "does"? 02:26
I want to know how to introspect the restrictions on binding. 02:27
kshannon m: my %a does Associative; say %a.WHAT; say %a.of; say %a.VAR.WHAT; say %a.VAR.of; %a := a => 1; say %a.WHAT; say %a.of; 02:30

kshannon That's different to a plain 'my %a;'
MasterDuke i think there's something like .^mro, but i'm not coming up with what it is
kshannon I think the problem seems to be that the binding constraint is not recorded on the container (Hash/BagHash/Pair), but on the lexical pad that the variable is in. 02:33
raydiak Isn't it adequate to know that % always has to be Associative and @ always has to be Positional? Or is there some complication I'm missing? 02:35
kshannon It might be that the information has been thrown away by runtime and the only remnant is inlined in the call to the p6bindassert op that the bind is compiled to.
kshannon m: my %a is Positional; %a := %(); 02:36
camelia Type check failed in binding; expected Positional but got Hash (${})
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
kshannon If you've specified a container type on the declaration then that becomes the binding constraint. 02:37
MasterDuke i don't know the answer to your questions. might need to wait a couple hours until the Europeans (e.g., moritz, timotimo, lizmat) wake up 02:39
raydiak I see...
kshannon BTW this isn't a case of the XY problem ( meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6...xy-problem ) I'm not actually trying to solve an issue - I'm just trying to understand the details. 02:42
Because learning is fun :)

lookatme m: my Int %h; say %h.of; 02:46
camelia (Int)
lookatme Do you mean this constraint type ?
kshannon No.
m: my %h; %h := 1
camelia Type check failed in binding; expected Associative but got Int (1)
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
kshannon I mean the Associative type 02:47
m: my %h is Scalar; %h := 1
camelia Cannot make a Scalar object using .new
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
kshannon Hmmm. I wasn't execpting that...
lookatme What the binding for ? %h is a hash container 02:48
kshannon Yes %h is a hash container, but the restricition on binding to the variable %h is that the value must be Associative. 02:49
You can change that restriction by including 'my %h is SomeType' and then the value must be ACCEPTed by SomeType 02:50
lookatme Oh, I see 02:52
m: my %h is Int; say %h.WHAT; 02:54
camelia (Int)
lookatme Oh, that is a black magic !

kshannon m: my %h is Int; %h := 4; say %h + 2 02:57
camelia 6
lookatme %h is total a Int now. But it's so easy to misunderstand. I don't recommend use it. 02:58
kshannon But it's an int without a Scalar wrapper. You can't assign to %h, only bind to it. 02:59
and yes Int is a silly constraint.

geekosaur yeh, rakudobug that 04:34
cbd_ pastebin.com/0vzDC3zU 05:32
^^ that is my problem
has to do with types
cbd_ specifically I am trying to use function prototypes 05:34
moritz \o 05:36
cbd_ and specify the types of those functions
hobbs Numeric has a .Int method, so its subclasses (like Rat, which 2.2 is) can coerce to Int by truncating 05:37
it doesn't, however, have a .PositiveInt method :)
moritz cbd_: looks like a bug to me 05:38
cbd_ So the solution to this issue is to add one?
moritz cbd_: the error message says "expected PositiveInt", but it should expect Positional[PositiveInt]
m: subset Positive of Int where * > 0; sub f(Positive @p) {}; my Positive @x = (1, 2); f(@x) 05:40
camelia Constraint type check failed in binding to parameter '@p'; expected Positive but got Array[Positive] (Array[Positive].new(1...)
in sub f at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
moritz m: subset Positive of Int where * > 0; sub f(Positive @p) {}; my Positive @x = (1, 2); &f.signature.params[0].type
camelia ( no output )
moritz m: subset Positive of Int where * > 0; sub f(Positive @p) {}; my Positive @x = (1, 2); say &f.signature.params[0].type
camelia (Positional[Int])
cbd_ So is it a bug with perl6, or am I writing it wrong? 05:44
moritz a bug in rakudo 05:45
m: sub f(Int @p) {}; my Int @x = (1, 2); say &f.signature.params[0].type 05:46
camelia (Positional[Int])
moritz m: sub f(Int @p) {}; my Int @x = (1, 2); f(@x)
camelia ( no output )
cbd_ a bug in the error message? or should the code that I put in the pastebin execute without error?
moritz it should run without error 05:49
cbd_ nice. so I should send an email to [email@hidden.address] 05:50
moritz yes, please 05:51
cbd_ hey hey, this will mark my first bug report to an open source project 05:52
finally giving back
moritz \o/ 05:54
cbd_++
cbd_ cool. submitted it about a minute ago. The bug isn't fixed yet... what do I do? 05:59
moritz leave out the type constraint 06:07
or make the type constraint (Int @p) 06:08
lookatme or just no constraint (@p) 06:34

nadim Good morning p6, is there a way to pass a junction as an object to a function rather than having it auto thread? 08:56
lookatme yeah 09:14
nadim then how please 09:15
lookatme m: sub f(|c) { say c[0].WHAT; }(1|2|3)
camelia (Junction)
lookatme use a Capture
nadim OK
nadim is there a way to mark the junction object so P6 will not autothread? 09:17
the object, which can be a junction, is passed around and I'd prefer not change all the function calls to take captures
lookatme What are you trying to do ? 09:23
nadim I am adding support for junctions in Data::Dump::Tree. it can be passed any object or structure. 09:24
I'd change all the data passing to captures if necessary but I am curious to know if there is a class of non threading junctions. 09:25
lookatme Do you mean a multi method with Junction parameter ? 09:28
nadim sub, method, and multi method. I did not plan for junctions, I handle any object in a generic way. except that junctions don't get passed as an object but thread 09:31

camelia (Int)
(Int)
lookatme I don't know :) 09:31

cygx nadim: no need to make them captures, but you do need a type constrain of Mu (which is the parent of both Junction and Any)
nadim that I can do easy, at least try :)
lookatme Haha, I misunderstand you, probably .. 09:33
nadim lookatme: not always easy to guess what other think ;)
lookatme maybe, sometime code is easy understand than words 09:34

azawawi Is there an easy way for a number to be a Num instead of a Rat (other that .Num or e0 suffix"? 12:44
jnthn The e0 suffix *is* the easy away :)
azawawi If a nativecall function uses num64 (which is common) then we have to cast to .Num everytime
timotimo in my sdl module i have one version where all parameters are num64, and another where all are Num 12:45
i mean, multi candidates
jnthn azawawi: Sure, but typically one writes Perl 6 wrapper functions rather than exposing the raw native calls, so in the wrappers you can just do Num() in the signature to get the coercion to happen.
azawawi I see. thanks 12:46

perlista Geth: hi 18:47
perlista: test
perlista: test2 18:48
fatoban perlista: hi 18:49
perlista fatoban: who are you?
nadim any nice way to write this more compactly? if $p.key ~~ Str | Int && $p.value ~~ Str | Int. this is not the same: if $p.key & $p.value ~~ Str | Int 22:17
mst maybe an 'all' junction? 22:18
lizmat perhaps use Cool instead of Str|Int ?
mst if all($p.key, $p.value) ~~ Str|Int ?
lizmat it is less strict, but most likely does what you meabn 22:19
nadim I did try it earlier but I had other problems I'll try again
mst: I'll try all but & is all, maybe it is necessary left hand side 22:20
mst ah, then either it's a precedence issue or my idea is wrong, I guess 22:24
nadim lizmat: Cool did not work. as I said, I tried it earlier but I didn't know why it didn't work so I replaced it with Int | Str.
mst: all did not work, I don't know if it is possible to put junctions on both side of ~~
lizmat m: say "a" ~~ Int | Str # why did this collapse ? 22:26
camelia True
AlexDaniel what a wonderful question 22:27
maybe that's how it is supposed to be, but this is contrary to all of my expectations :)
jnthn 'cus that's what Junction.ACCEPTS does 22:28
jnthn This in turn means it can short-circuit 22:29
(all can return as soon as there's a non-match, any as soon as there's a match, etc.)
AlexDaniel sure, but why ~~ does and == doesn't? What's the idea? 22:30
jnthn == is compiled into an infix:<==> call and subject to auto-threading; ~~ is macro-ish and does the magic stuff involving $_ and then calls rhs.ACCEPTS(lhs) 22:32
nadim jnthn: can junctions be on both sides of ~~? and if yes, why doesn't $x & $y ~~ Int | Str work?
lizmat jnthn++ # remembers now :-)
jnthn nadim: Yeah, but it means any(Int, Str).ACCEPTS($x & $y) which expands to any($x & $y ~~ Int, $x & $y ~~ Str) 22:34
nadim ah! 22:35
and how does ont get it expanded to $x ~~ Int | Str && $y ~~ Int | Str ? 22:36
if at all possible
mst ... would Int | Str ~~ $x & $y do so? 22:37
AlexDaniel m: my $x = 25; my $y = 2.5; say ($x, $y)».&(* ~~ Int | Str).all 22:38
camelia all(True, False)
AlexDaniel nadim: ha! look at these noodles of brainfart!
mst ... the goggles, they do nothing.
timotimo m: my $x = "hello"; my $y = 19; say all($x, $y).isa(Int|Str) 22:39
camelia True
jnthn mst: Don't think so; smartmatch is not symmetric
nadim looks like melted P6
mst jnthn: yes, using the asymmetricity was my thought
jnthn nadim: Something like timotimo++ just showed is more sensible :)
nadim timotimo++
mst m: my $x = "hello"; my $y = 19; say Int | Str ~~ $x & $y
camelia False
timotimo not actually certain it's correct
it could be the .isa on the junction of all() is checking against the junction on the rhs 22:40
mst surely that should be all($x, $y).ACCEPTS(Int | Str) ?
timotimo and saying "yup, this junction isa junction" 22:40
jnthn mst: It'd end up doing Int ~~ $x, though, rather than $x ~~ Int
mst oh right I see
timotimo m: say ("foo" & 10e1).isa(Int | Str)
camelia True
jnthn And it's the type being on the RHS that decides the semantics of the match are a type check
AlexDaniel nadim: by the way, if this code is going to be in a warm path, avoid junctions altogether and come up with something else :)
timotimo look, it's actually wrong
timotimo well, not wrong, just not what you expect 22:40
mst I keep suffering from my brain parsing & as bitwise even though it parses | fine 22:41
timotimo :)
nadim AlexDaniel: warm path?
jnthn m: subset IntOrStr where Int | Str; say "foo" & 42 ~~ IntOrStr
camelia True
jnthn m: subset IntOrStr where Int | Str; say "foo" & 4.2 ~~ IntOrStr
camelia False
nadim timotimo: no it did not work as expected/wished for 22:42
AlexDaniel nadim: well, anything that will be executed often
nadim: because junctions were noticeably slow last time I checked
timotimo nadim: that's exactly what i said, though?
AlexDaniel not sure if they got faster while I was blinking :)
nadim it's a dumper, I don't know what the user dumps, so anything can be warm i guess
jnthn nadim: Doing a subset type like I did above is probably a good bet 22:43
nadim timotimo: had not got that far, when trying after the example 22:43
AlexDaniel mst: sometimes I see concatenation in it 22:44
nadim jnthn: it's good to see it but maybe keeping it simple was a better idea to start with. junction ~~junction _looked_ simple but is obviously not 22:45
thanks all for the fun moment, and getting to understand junctions better, final code looking like "f $p.key ~~ Str | Int && $p.value ~~ Str | Int" is not so bad afterall. jnthn's subset is cool too. 22:47
timotimo ah, okay 22:49
yeah, irc can move pretty fast sometimes
nadim specially when one goes on testing ;)
timotimo that's why i tend to test stuff directly in irc, so others can immediately see where i'm at, where i'm going, and can point out problems to me 22:51
nadim good logic 22:52
timotimo i don't think i can stay awake too much longer ... 22:53
jnthn Me either :)

timotimo nite jnthn 22:54
nadim night all. here is the result. with dd dump at the bottom imgur.com/reqEMiu 22:54
nadim yes it's a Pair from outter space ;) 22:54
timotimo quite readable 22:56
Geth doc: 9f2e762ed1 | (Zoffix Znet)++ (committed using GitHub Web editor) | doc/Type/IO/Handle.pod6
Fix typo
nadim where pair of Int | Str are displayed on one line and expanded if not
nadim timotimo: which one? even dd is readable in this case but with more depth in the data structures horizontal display is not redeable 22:57
timotimo yup 22:58
i meant the ddt output
nadim it is it's only goal, making things redeable, The Match handling, specially with colors, is, imho, 10 times more redeable with ddt 22:59
timotimo you've already got a version that outputs an interactive html document; how well would you expect an interactive terminal-ui based one to work? 23:00
nadim timotimo: better imo 23:01
the html output does not support color for example
timotimo well, that's doable at least ;) 23:02
nadim yes it is
timotimo i should finish up my stacked bar graph thingie
imgur.com/tnhR6Zp - it looks a bit like this 23:03
nadim feel free to add a ticket on the repo with the terminal UI idea, and how you'd like it to be. note that the advantage of dhtml is that you can have loads of pages open in a browser and compare them, also possible in a terminal but less fun
also, what would be really cool is to have a diff, which is supported, with forlding 23:04
stacked and text mode, I like! 23:05
timotimo it has to learn to output multi-lined bars, too, as sometimes there's two splits in the same character 23:06
nadim for 2D tables? 23:06
timotimo no, just to get around that limitation 23:08
timotimo this uses the eights blocks unicode has to offer 23:08
and setting foreground and background colors
nadim terminal graphics is so geeky! 23:09
timotimo have you seen sixel? :)
in particular libsixel 23:10
nadim nope ... browsing 23:10
timotimo i've pointed like ten people at libsixel already in the last week or three :) 23:11
nadim there quite a few that does graphics on a terminal but it is the first time I see gif animations, Lol! 23:12
timotimo yeah! :D
nadim moritz: imgur.com/026cpjU JSON::Tiny parse tree rendered by ddt
timotimo not only that, even Battle for Wesnoth in the terminal, and also some kind of graphical VM frontend running a windows in it %) 23:13
nadim Crazy!
maybe we can render the dhtml on the terminal afterall! 23:14
geekosaur remembers a site that was streaming world cup 2006 games over telnet via aalib
timotimo hah
there was also the april 1st thing where youtube offered TEXTp along 720p, 360p and 240p 23:15
nadim must resist. resist man! don't start playing with, be strong, resists! 23:17
timotimo i've a little bit of a start for a libsixel binding
but i figured out i needed a bunch of changes to go on and then i stopped working on it
nadim Do it! 23:18
notice how I say that I must resist but you should not ;)
timotimo hah
github.com/timo/libsixel-p6 23:20
nadim sixel is a killer, I'll have a look in the morning. but we can do quite a lot with text and colors. here is an example of a match, maybe not needed, .gist probably does a job good enough for most to read but with some efforts ... imgur.com/cHsvdzx
timotimo what kind of image support are you imagining? 23:21
nadim I don't get you question, can you please explain?
timotimo oh, note also that only a few somewhat niche terminal emulators will actually display sixel
nadim I read that DEc something 23:22
timotimo well, what would you do with sixel?
geekosaur yes, sixel graphics was a dec vt2xx+ thing
nadim sixel/curses
a curses that looks good (for nothing but still)
I was going to say, port asciio to it but it would be better to port it to curses (after I make some qooxdoo thingy) 23:23
timotimo i haven't heard of asciio yet 23:24
zostay m: my %x := ().Bag; %x<a>
camelia This type (Scalar) does not support associative operations
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
nadim hu! gtk app that let's you draw ascii flowcharts and whatnot
azawawi hi
maybe github.com/azawawi/perl6-terminal-...r/examples to ASCii Art ? :)
zostay that's causing a regression in Hash::MultiValue, but it doesn't feel like a regression in my code but possibly in rakudo? 23:25

nadim timotimo: youtu.be/0l9W84PhOyI?t=170 23:26
timotimo that's cool 23:27
nadim bows down
timotimo oh, you built this?
nadim and very useful, just need to have manager that are not sissies and want powerpoint quality
yes a few years ago, I think I may do next version in P6, if I get time 23:28
azawawi nadim++ 23:28
MasterDuke zostay: could you file a ticket and .tell lizmat? 23:29
nadim there's a presentation mode, I don't even remember how to use it ;), I made a presentation for to management with it once; just to piss some off :))) 23:29
azawawi nadim: Please take a look at rosettacode.org/wiki/Draw_a_rotating_cube#Perl_6 # Shameless advertising :) 23:30
nadim azawawi: I guess you know this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2F-KTrT_0E 23:33
azawawi nadim: cool 23:36
nadim night all 23:38
travis-ci Doc build passed. Zoffix Znet 'Fix typo' 23:38
travis-ci.org/perl6/doc/builds/236773819 github.com/perl6/doc/compare/c297a...2e762ed1d1
azawawi timotimo: Python still beats us in simplicity rosettacode.org/wiki/Draw_a_rotating_cube#Python ... Damn you Python :) 23:40
nadim .tell timotimo github.com/stefanhaustein/TerminalImageViewer 23:42
azawawi nadim: good night
nadim arff what's the name of the teller service?
azawawi: night
MasterDuke nadim: yoleaux, but it seems to be down 23:45
nadim thanks
timotimo not bad 23:46
nadim: hq9+ also beats us handily at hello world, quine, 99 bottles of beer, and incrementing a pointer 23:47
nadim that would be azawawi
timotimo oops, yes
azawawi :) 23:56
i like vpython's approach. We need that with SDL :)
