[Coke] Prereport: fudged a lot of spectests for niecza, getting "make spectest" to 5400 tests (including skips). EOR 14:38
14:42 benabik joined
moritz my prereport: 15:00
* implemented Buf
* fixed IO::Socket.recv to be actually useful 15:01
* binary IO
* lots of small fixes here and there
* release preparations
* at the moment I'm trying to get &make and Match.ast running 15:02
Want do discuss
* state of rakudo release -- should I do it tonight, or does pmichaud++ want to get more stuff done first, and/or amek the release himself? 15:03
EOPR
sorear prereport: 15:17
* some small progress on niecza/serialize. Starting to question if I'm doing this right.
* got a much better understanding of roles with help from jnthn++ 15:18
* some more improvements to CLR-interop 15:20
* brought %/%% into niecza and got spec clarifications made 15:21

This week I managed to remember #phasers is now on Wednesday. :)
jnthn Preport 16:54
During the last week...
* Started to sketch out NCI stuff for nom
* Got binder to work with natively typed parameters/arguments
* Got multi-dispatcher to deal with natively typed arguments
* Optimized literal constraints a bit, got Parameter.constraints in place
* Improved Routine.candidates_matching
* Started teaching the optimizer to do multi-dispatches at compile time
* Optimizer can also detect some dispatches that could never possibly work 16:55
* Started preparing for getting more extensive type information in the tree
* Various bug fixes all over the place
* Submitted talks for Twin City Perl Workshop and London Perl Workshop
In the next week...
* Fix more bugs/regressions
* More optimizer hacking - it's -Ofun
* More work on serialization and/or CLR backend
EOR
sorear jnthn++ 16:56
moritz jnthn++ indeed 16:57
jnthn Oh, and tomorrow is my Perl 6 day of the week. :) 17:01
colomon Preport 17:08
* Got all the trig functions working for Niecza 17:09
* Made them conform to Kahan '87 (which I believe matches the Common Lisp standard) 17:11
* The Real forms of the inverse hyperbolic functions still need to be more efficiently implemented. 17:12
Plans:
* Get the Mandelbrot script working with Niecza's GTK support.
* Several blog posts
What I wish I could work on:
* ABC -- but neither Nom nor Niecza can support the module at this time. 17:13
EOR
moritz colomon: what's missing in nom and niecza for abc?
nom I guess proto regexes?
colomon nom: grammar actions 17:14
moritz those are back now
colomon niecza: "Action method trait_mod:does not yet implemented" ... though that seems to be Niecza being confused, now that I look at the message more closely. 17:15
sorear "does" is NYI in Niecza 17:22
I haven't implemented the general case of roles because I didn't want to implement role summation twice (class A does B does C; A.new but (B, C))
post-serialize there will be no such resistance
sorear doesn't quite grok what ABC is supposed to do. Is it a translator for musical notations? 17:24
colomon sorear: ABC (as a concept) is a simple format for storing musical notation used heavily in the traditional music community. ( abcnotation.com/wiki/abc:standard:v...troduction ) The core intent of the p6 module is to make it easy to write tools that understand and manipulate ABC. One such tool, an ABC to Lilypond convertor, is included. 17:29
er, time for phasers, right? 17:30

Lots of preports :)
17:32 masak joined
masak o/ 17:32
17:32 tadzik_kindle joined
jnthn Anybody with a report who didn't preport? 17:32
masak report: working on macros. having fun with Niecza. EOR 17:33
tadzik_kindle doesnt remeber what he did :)
and no particular plan 17:34
did we settle on anything regarding the release? 17:35
PerlJam tadzik read my mind
jnthn mostly feels unsettled by mind reading... 17:36
tadzik_kindle regxes are coming along nicely, maybe we can wait a while for them to be finished. Is pmichaud on board atm? 17:38
jnthn pmichaud++ and moritz++ have put back some of the big missing regex pieces.
tadzik_kindle aye
moritz well, what I don't want is an undefined release date
if we decide to slip a bit longer with the release, I'd like to have a fixed deadline 17:39
that's the point of a time-based release schedule, after all
tadzik_kindle +1
PerlJam moritz: I agree and vote for Fri Sep 30 as the release date. 17:40
jnthn +1
moritz +1
jnthn That means we get a September release
And I can use some of this evening (if I'm not too exhausted) and my Rakudo day tomorrow to get a few more fixes in.
PerlJam both of which were on my mind when I choose that date :) 17:41
(well, your rakudo day anyway)
The next question is ... who volunteers to do the release? 17:43
tadzik_kindle I can
masak tadzik++
PerlJam tadzik++
tadzik_kindle dunno if maybe pmichaud wanted to
PerlJam It was going to be the "Riga" release right? 17:44
jnthn Think so.
moritz tomorrow my tuits are low, but if nobody else steps up, I could do it on Friday
tadzik_kindle it appears so
moritz PerlJam: you volunteered for October 17:45
PerlJam yep
I definitely won't have the tuits for this Fri
moritz PerlJam: we've chosen Riga as an tentative releaes name for this one though
tadzik_kindle tentative?
moritz if PerlJam wishes to take Riga for October, he can chose something else for September 17:46
PerlJam No, "Riga" is fine for Sep. 17:47
tadzik_kindle istr pmichaud mentioned Warsaw to me some time ago
PerlJam I've updated and pushed the release_guide, if someone wants to change it. 17:48
moritz PerlJam++
tadzik_kindle going to catch my bus bbi30 17:52
18:11 mberends joined
tadzik I'm back 18:30

tadzik appears so, yes 18:33
mberends commuted offline during #phasers, but had nothing in particular to report or discuss 18:35
