weekly Perl 6 status meetings with phase transitions: Wed 17:30 UTC | IR clogs at irclog.perlgeek.de/phasers/today
Set by moderator on 16 December 2011.
sorear PREREPORT: started trying to finish roles. Welcomed ruoso as a contributor. Changed Niecza to invoke the binder *after* filling variable default values. Added END. Changed MMD to more reliably reject ambiguous cases. 17:29
Hash.perl is now sorting keys. A few other uninteresting/uncontrovertial changes. EOR 17:30
colomon o/
sorear o/ 17:31
colomon sorear: any reason Order would be trickier than just adding an Enum? 17:33
sorear no 17:35
TimToady wonders if there should be sign function when <=> is so near to hand...
$x <=> 0
colomon Is Order ~~ Numeric? 17:36
TimToady good question, dunno
most enums are conceptually subsets of Int 17:37
sorear colomon: yes. all numish Enums are
TimToady pity they got the sign of Order wrong back in the day 17:38
good argument for a sign function
or for fixing Order :) 17:39
colomon is against messing with tradition 17:40
TimToady P6 is ambivalent on the subject
I'm okay with leaving it if we have a sign that returns Int 17:41
colomon is it something like enum Order<<:Increase(-1) :Same(0) :Decrease(1)>> then? 17:42
17:42 pyrimidine joined
sorear enum Order (:Increase(-1), :Same(0), :Decrease(1)); 17:42
can't use << >>, no val() yet 17:43
(there's a good chance this won't work because of enum staleness)
colomon trying... 17:45
errr, perhaps should move this conversation out of #phasers. :)

moritz masak: I too was late
masak report: enjoying many people signing up for p6cc and starting in on the problems, and finding bugs and stuff. started thinking about macros again. will work more on them later in the week. EOR 18:18
masak backlogs
well, that was a short #phasers. 18:23
sorear do we need to change the time again? 18:24
moritz well, currently I'm on vacation, there's a chance I won't forget the time once I'm working again 18:25
