weekly Rakudo status meetings with phase transitions: Tue 19:00 UTC | IR clogs at irclog.perlgeek.de/phasers/today
Set by moderator on 8 March 2011.
01:48 [particle]1 joined, [particle] left
sorear did: committed less than 51% of the week's work on Niecza for the first time. moritz++ mberends++ 04:19
also none of what I did was visible; just minor refactorings 04:20
v4 is unlikely to run yapsi or support multi dispatch; I have far fewer tuits than expected
EOR
14:13 [particle]1 is now known as [particle]
diakopter did: less than nothing... EO 16:49
moritz_ diakopter: you destroyed Perl 6 code? :-) 16:50

diakopter heh 18:03

Util Pre-report: 18:58
* Done: Resolved some Parrot Coverity issues.
* Plan to do: Improve R* .dmg and publish in R*'s Downloads section of GitHub.

mberends the UTC clock strikes 19:00 19:00
Util o/ 19:02
mberends Report:
did one small commit to Niecza, will increase that rate in the coming months
introduced a more portable timer function into Rakudo Test.pm, only to find that it sapped performance, so later reverted it to the more efficient pir::time__N version 19:04
the value in that (how I get to keep the Karma) is that Test.pm now documents something *not* to do. 19:05
have plans (but no progress) to continue working on 6model/JVM, based on the Jasmin assembler instead of generating Java source code. 19:06
on this last project, any volunteers to share that workload would be welcome. I think Somebody was in #perl6 a few days ago talking about that, but did not get in touch, 19:07
there certainly seems to be a consistent level of interest in having a 6model/JVM :) 19:08
.EOR
Would anyone like to say something? Otherwise we close this meeting in (almost?) record time. 19:10
Util Have you worked in Jasmin assembler before? What made you eschew Java source code? 19:11
mberends it was fairly simple 19:12
to emit executable instructions for certain of the 6model flow control structures, the C# implementation made use of goto statements.
tadzik nothing to report I'm afraid, apart of the bloggingz
mberends Java (the language) has no goto statement, but JVM (the VM) does, and you need assembler or bytecode to make the JVM do that. 19:14
Util I see. Thanks! EOQ 19:15
mberends and no, I have never worked with Jasmin before, so there is another learning curve to deal with.
other assembly languages are fine with me, also it is new (but nice) to write programs that write programs... 19:16
Util Last call for other reports... Bueller? Bueller? 19:30
I encourage late arrivals to post reports for async reading. 19:32
We are adjourned.
mberends ok, bye from #phasers until next week o/
19:32 mberends left
[Coke] Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. 19:42
Util Thank you, Coke. 20:14
[Coke] No problem whatsoever!
colomon post-report: Did nothing of p6 interest in the last week. Plan 20:17
Plan: hope to bisect to investigate slowdowns, but not optimistic about actually finding time to tackle that. 20:18
