PerlJam ping 17:33
Util Hello
PerlJam who's alive?
who's running this #phasers?
jnthn just got to stockholm
moritz alive and distracted 17:34
jnthn This week I mostly did various small fixes here and there. Was mostly distracted with $dayjob.
I think it's my turn to advent post today too 17:35
PerlJam was just checkign that.
14 Meta Programming -- jnthn
I *might* be able to do a Dec 15 post if I can get an idea I can write something about soonish 17:36
moritz my report: 17:37
managed to throw typed exceptions from Perl6::Actions
various bits and pieces 17:38
advent post managing
EOR
plan to do: some advent posting 17:39
a grant report blog post
PerlJam moritz: could you get an advent post out of your grant work? 17:40
moritz oh, forgot to say: implemented ObjAt
PerlJam: I might combine that
jnthn moritz: Your ObjAt worked looked sane enough to merge. Need some thought on exactly how it will work out with object hashes. 17:43
moritz jnthn: you can simply nqp::unbox_s($key.WHICH), and use the result as a key into the parrot hash 17:44
Util For the #phasers record: .munch vs .batch: .batch is in the Specs but not in Rakudo or Roast. .munch is not in Spec, *is* in Rakudo and used but not tested in Roast. @Larry guidance wanted. 17:45
Conversation here: irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2011-12-14#i_4833187
moritz is .batch specced to be destructively?
jnthn moritz: yeah. it's not meant to be the default though.
moritz: Anyway, please do go ahead and merge it. Then we're a roadmap item down, and another + on features :) 17:46
moritz :-)
will do after supper
jnthn Great. 17:48
I probably find some dinner, then write my advent post afterwards. Pretty hungry :)

colomon forgot to pre-report 17:49
sorear oops! 17:51
hi.
who all is here?
PerlJam 17:52
Util moritz, jnthn I think that .batch is specced to be always non-destructive (iterator), which is why we can't just have a naming conversation vs. (the always destructive) .munch.

Util must leave now. Will backscroll both here and #perl6 17:53
sorear DID: bits and pieces in niecza 17:54
mailed the ICU people for permission to use their (unlicenced!) character database compiler 17:55
compiled a list of missing S05 features - will try to get most of them done for v11
in particular, made \\n ^^ $$ match any logical newline, added new character class syntax, added & to regexes, and started on supplementary character support 17:56
EOR
colomon Report: 18:03
* Discovered 0i ** $n problem, fixed it in Niecza, added tests to Roast.
* More work on adding chords to ABC.
* Pestered jnthn++ until he fixed Nom bugs blocking a $work script.
* Appear to have discovered horrible bugs in Nom file-handling.
* Got arith.t fudged to work on Niecza.
Plan:
* Advent blog post on Gtk Mandelbrot.
* Making ABC chords work.
* Getting more test files running on Niecza.
EOR
oh, yeah, and removed .munch statements from S03-sequences/basic.t. ;) 18:04

colomon is anyone else seeing the sorts of weirdness I am with nom's filereading? 18:17
for instance, I just tried my handy LHF detector under nom instead of niecza. It looks like it worked properly for dozens of files, then I get Unable to open filehandle from path 't/spec/S03-smartmatch/any-method.t' -- even though that's a perfectly valid file. 18:22
