moritz_ I'll probably be a bit late for #phasers 18:51
18:55 ash_ joined, patrickas joined
jnthn oh shoot, it's #phasers time 19:02
mberends \\o/
jnthn Who's here? 19:03
moritz_
sorear Who's wanted?
colomon o/
jnthn phasees
;-)
moritz_ so, anybody want to report anything? 19:05
jnthn Yes, let me type it up, @other can go first while I do that. :-)
moritz_ I'll type on-the-fly
colomon um, I fiddled around a little with the numeric comparison operators. that is all. :(
.eor
moritz_ fiddled more with regex adverbs
ran into a problem while doing m:g// correctly
which I summarized here: perlgeek.de/blog-en/perl-6/state-of...fiers.html 19:06
no idea how to proceed from there, any input welcome
maybe a flag in the match object for now, which tells us if it's a multi-value match object or not? 19:07
apart from that, I've done some minor nits here and there
try to do a bit for the book; removed a few TODOs, not much more
.eor
sorear Didn't TimToady say something about setting $/ = undef and returning a list of Match from ACCEPTS? 19:08
moritz_ sorear: he speculated
I haven't seen any decisions
returning lists is what we do now 19:09
which doesn't work for m:g//
because our current code for m/foo/ is bascially the same as $/ := $_.match(rx{foo})
and that doesn't like a return list, for some reason 19:10
jnthn has his report ready 19:14
moritz_ if nobody has a comment, let's just move on
jnthn ok 19:15
LAST WEEK
* Dug into the meta-model prototype
* Prototyping it on the .Net CLR first, for various reasons
* Building various bits around it so we can actually run code
* Goal is to run ClassHOW (which will be written in NQP)
* Once I'm far enough that the model feels comfortably sane to me, I'll port the meta-model to Parrot and start hacking its NQP implementation into shape. That's likely going to be a branch for quite a while.
* So far I pass just 2 files from the nqp-rx test suite - so nothing to get excited about yet. :-) 19:16
* On the other hand, I do have KnowHOW and some basic representation polymorphism working - or displayed as workable
* Oh, I have a crappy but working first cut at static lexpads too
* Tormentored masak a bit
THIS WEEK
* More meta-model and NQP.NET hacking
* File final evaluation on masak++
* Watch news.perlfoundation.org hopefully for news of grant approval
</report>
mberends is trying to do a java port of jnthn's 6model work. no results yet. 19:18
jnthn mberends++
I think everyone here reported. Any discussiony things? 19:20
moritz_ anything we absolutely need for the release?
jnthn I've not noticed any epic "we must fix X" grumbles 19:21
Has anyone else?
(or at least, anything we can feasibly fix for this release)
colomon jnthn++ 19:23
and nope, I've not noticed anything epic grumbles
moritz_ me neither
jnthn OK, great. :-) 19:24
moritz_ so, meeting already adjourned? :-) 19:25
19:25 takadonet joined
mberends oh hai takadonet, we were just leaving ;) 19:26
jnthn Looks like it. No need for it to be long without needing to be. ;-)
takadonet mberends: that why you guys have irclogs :) 19:27
jnthn The hottest footwear!
OK, with that bad pun, I think it's over. Back to #perl6. :-) 19:29
19:29 mberends left 19:30 takadonet left
sorear (At what point are my projects interesting enough for #phasers?) 20:03
moritz_ sorear: I'd be interested in them at any point. Feel free to speak up during the meeting, and paste your report 20:04
sorear: we kinda tend to forget non-rakudo projects, which is a pity, and should be changed 20:05
no malice or filtering intended
