moritz pre-reporting, because I'll likely won't make it to the actual #phasers meeting 16:14
What I did (last weeks, but forgot to report): * Updates to many .*perl6.org sites and rakudo.de. The latter now lives in a github repo * made my modules ready for Panda (tadzik++ for that awesome Panda badge) * identified name clashes in nqp vs. nqp-rx install * converted more PIR to nqp
Did this past week:
* more spec work in S32/Exceptions
* discussed Pod6 and gsoc stuff with tadzik++ 16:15
* some build system tweaks in rakudo/nom
Plans:
* continue yelling at^W^Wsupporting tadzik
* spec BackTrace, and implement BackTrace and X::Base
(This kinda goes against the original plan in the grant proposal, but a slight reordering won't hurt)
EOR

pmichaud Report of last several weeks: 18:15
* Migrated rakudo.org from Drupal to new home with WordPress
- aka rakudoperl.org
- See github.com/pmichaud/rakbench/tree/...er/results for
example results
* Did lots of timing comparisons among Rakudo releases
* Located a regression in Parrot's ms2 GC that was causing significant
(50%+) slowdowns since 2011.01
* Summary: I'm not seeing significant overall performance improvements since 2011.01
- we are seeing good improvements in some cases for core.pm and rx.t
* Tested various patches and tuning suggestions from #parrot
* Got a new desktop machine (kiwi); can now run Rakudo spectests in < 5 mins
* Fixed relational operator handling of NaN, added tests
* Removed NaN check from is_approx() in Test.pm; provides ~4% improvement
* Fixed RT #89972
EOR 18:16
PerlJam pmichaud: I'm confused ... you've got some results for migrating from Drupal to Wordpress? :-) 18:18
pmichaud PerlJam: your confusion confuses me. 18:19
PerlJam bullet order oddness. The rakbench URL appears subordinate to the Drupal -> Wordpess bullet rather than the timing comparisons bullet 18:21
pmichaud it looks correct on my screen
maybe irssi paste got the lines out of order
masak looks that way. 18:22
pmichaud oh, no
looks like it dropped two items altogether
(based on irclog)
PerlJam gist.github.com/965052 is how it appears on mine
pmichaud yeah, somewhere irssi dropped two lines 18:23
what I sent:
18:15 <pmichaud> * Migrated rakudo.org from Drupal to new home with WordPress
18:15 <pmichaud> - aka rakudoperl.org
18:15 <pmichaud> - We once again have working RSS feeds!
18:15 <pmichaud> example results
18:15 <pmichaud> * Did lots of timing comparisons among Rakudo releases
it dropped lines *again*! 18:24
I just pasted eight lines... irclog only shows five
PerlJam Are you sure it's irssi and not ubuntu 11.04 ? :-)
pmichaud PerlJam: I'm running on feather
PerlJam oh, okay. Just checking.
pmichaud my irc screen shows the lines being pasted (with timestamps, as partially shown above) 18:25
but somewhere between my irssi client and the rest of the channel, lines are being dropped
PerlJam Are you running irssi under screen or tmux or something?
pmichaud under screen, yes.
let's try once more, slowly this time
18:15 <pmichaud> * Migrated rakudo.org from Drupal to new home with WordPress 18:26
18:15 <pmichaud> - aka rakudoperl.org
18:15 <pmichaud> - We once again have working RSS feeds!
18:15 <pmichaud> * Built a benchmark / regression suite for Rakudo+Parrot
18:15 <pmichaud> - github.com/pmichaud/rakbench
18:15 <pmichaud> - See github.com/pmichaud/rakbench/tree/...er/results for
18:15 <pmichaud> example results
18:15 <pmichaud> * Did lots of timing comparisons among Rakudo releases
18:15 <pmichaud> * Located a regression in Parrot's ms2 GC that was causing significant
18:15 <pmichaud> (50%+) slowdowns since 2011.01
okay, the rest looks good.

* Added --setting=... option
* Implemented setting loading and basic library loading
* Meta-object importation from EXPORTHOW
* Got static lexpad bits in place
* Various fixes to the meta-objects I sketched out a while back, worked out ordering and got them merged
* Started the epic symbol handling refactor...it's going well
* Started the epic package handling refactor, including initial bits on compile time meta-objects
* Started working on buliding signatures/paramters at compile time
* Blug: 6guts.wordpress.com/2011/05/10/raku...-underway/ 19:08
Over the next week
