japhb Just came across somewhat odd behavior -- I was trying to see how reliable `Supply.interval($int)` is when $int shrinks, so I ran the following: 04:07
raku -e 'my $i = 0; my $int = .002; my $limit = 20; react whenever Supply.interval($int) { done if $limit < now - INIT now; $i++ }; say $i; say $i * $int * 100 / $limit;'
Varying $int to be some whole number of milliseconds.
The final number printed in the run is % of expected interval triggers that actually arrived within the time limit. 04:08
As expected, as $int goes from 0.1 down to 0.001, that % falls quite a bit.
I expected that this would represent random (or at least chaotic) interactions, especially since I'm on a laptop and I can see the core speeds varying all over the place. 04:09
But ... the % arriving is remarkably stable for a given $int.
Like within 2 parts in 10_000 on my system. 04:10
Which indicates to me really regular, predictable things "stealing time".
But ... what? 04:11
04:17 linkable6 left, evalable6 left, evalable6 joined
japhb Actually at .001 interval, it's a little less stable -- but still within 4 parts per 1_000. 04:19

moon-child any chance someone can take a look at github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/4312 ? 07:13
nine moon-child: the change looks innocent enough, but I don't know what our policies on such aliases are or what's the semantic difference between those Unicode symbols :/ 07:22
lizmat google seems to be unaware of any semantic difference 07:26
I already approve the PR, but would like to have jnthn chime in as it would affect Comma e.g. 07:27
moon-child I'm not aware of any difference between them. Some apls use the small variant, so I got used to the way it looks, is all :P 07:29

Remaining RakuAST nodes for character classes

This adds support for `<[a..z]>` and similar, as well as filling out compilation of addition and subtraction of character classes. Likely there will be the odd detail to work out - there's a lot of semantics in here - but everything tested so far matches with the current compiler frontend.

japhb I thought whenever blocks were supposed to be single-threaded? I will feel like an idiot if I've just totally misunderstood that. 18:02
ugexe is it react or whenever? 18:03
i thought it was react
18:05 reportable6 joined
ugexe i guess it would be both in the later case 18:06
japhb The docs say "Please note that one should keep the code inside the whenever as small as possible, as only one whenever block will be executed at any time. One can use a start block inside the whenever block to run longer running code." Sounds closer to your explanation, but for something like this I'd probably only trust Word Of Jonathan to be 100% accurate, given he wrote it. :-)
Yeah, which brings me back to thinking that I shouldn't *need* to use an atomicint unless something is broken with that guarantee.
tonyo that doesn't mean whenever is single-threaded 18:07
japhb tonyo: We may be using the terminology slightly differently. I mean "Only one thread at a time is allowed to be inside the whenever block", though of course it could be different threads entering different iterations. 18:08
And I guess ugexe was saying that that should be "Only one thread at a time is allowed to be inside the react block" 18:09
ugexe closer to only one thread from outside the react block could be inside the react block initializing the handlers... threads can be started inside the react block ala whenever start ... { } of course 18:12

Use Win32 native API to get file changetime on JVM

Windows doesn't support "unix:ctime" when using Files.getAttribute, so instead try calling the Win32 native API. This required upgrading JNA from 4.0.0 to 4.5.0 and adding the JNA platform jar.

MasterDuke ha! finally figured out the project euler problem i started working on in 2012 that inspired my first perl 6 module in2016 because the builtin .combinations was too slow, and then subsequent first commits to rakudo in 2016 to mildly speedup the builtins 20:52
