nine AlexDaniel`: reading through yesterday's discussion, there's 2 take aways for me: whenever the discussion is about "Raku is bloated crap and we need to re-do it", the discussion gets nowhere. On the other hand the two concrete issues (regex performance and ...) got lots of attention and productive discussions. 06:32

AlexDaniel` nine: so why does it go nowhere 07:13
nine Because we all went to bed :D
AlexDaniel` no, because people won't admit that it's crap and therefore there's no way of redoing things 07:14
nine Oh you meant the first part? Because its just not specific enough. The statement is too generic, invites argument, forces the reader to become defensive and doesn't even hint on any actionables.
AlexDaniel` as for productive discussions, I don't see how it's productive because rakudo didn't become 25 times faster for regex matching 07:15
nine All of us admitted freely and immediately that our regex performance sucks and that ... is a horrible mess. Several people even mentioned that they had a bunch of issues with Raku.
I just won't admit that Raku as such is crap as that's simply not true for me. As I mentioned at work we moved to it because it's simply better than Perl for us. And we got amazing things done with Perl to start with. 07:17
AlexDaniel` and I'm not saying that it should immediately, but productivity is generally measurable
nine I do hate our compilation time (thus regex performance) enough to have spent the past month or two on getting in-process precompilation running, so we at least get rid of the startup overhead. 07:18
japhb nine: Did that make it into the mainline? 07:19
nine The thing about the regex engine is really just that it's probably the oldest part of rakudo, and hasn't seen a major overhaul since. But I know that jnthn has given it some thought already and seems to have ideas for how to improve it. And I wouldn't be surprised if that's his next project after new-dispatch and RakuAST 07:20
japhb: not yet. It's hard to get the final 5 % working, but I'm on it.
japhb nine: Yeah, understood. 07:23
nine I guess that RakuAST will bring opportunities to improve regex performance, too, as it will make it easier to analyse the regex and detect that it doesn't need any magic at all, allowing for it to be compiled to something simpler. 07:27
AFAIK we don't statically optimize regexes at all. 07:28
timotimo we do 07:35
one of the biggest wins is perhaps turning a scan followed by a literal string into a proper search for needle-in-haystack
i.e. the same code we use for "index" that can skip, at best, the entirety of the string every step 07:36
and of course we optimize NFAs, which is the majority of time spent when adding new rules (like operators) to rakudo's grammar 07:38
holy crap, you do *not* want to run `yes` with Proc::Async if you're not going to soak up all the output quickly enough 08:01

timotimo perhaps the on_read should unpermit itself if the queue of work items to be handled by the raku-level eventloop thread reaches, oh i dunno, 100k 08:07
takes about 5 seconds for that to happen in my example
i'm not sure where code should go that figures this out 08:12

lizmat why are we creating a new Distribution object, and then cloning that ? 19:16

timotimo a friend is scolding me for `run` being implemented using async i/o, because a user should expect the default mechanism for subprocesses to behave just like unix does 19:41
the options you have for the pipe lock problem are: "lock the program up, like the unix gods intended", "keep reading until the system crashes because it runs out of memory, which rakudo / moarvm currently do", or "drop data on the floor, a crime against the entirity of programmers" 19:59

Make sure we don't allow files with wrong extensions

The check was on <rakumod pm6 pm> *without* the period, so allowing files like foo.barakumod		 20:42
[Coke] ^^ looks like the period was in the code, not the list, and you moved the period? 20:45
lizmat yeah, the second change was to accommodate that usage of @extensions 20:49
but there is also an ends-with test that is now correct 20:50
that didn't need any change itsel

Re-imagine CompUnit::Repository::FileSystem!distribution

  - make sure extension precedence is rakumod / pm6 / pm, fixes R#3783
  - split off the directory reading logic into a !dist-from-ls method
  - use for loops assigning to hashes rather than inline Pair creation
  - keep original comments as much as possible		 21:29
