[13:02] <SmokeMachine> I've seen on mastodon someone making a perl grepip that could search for ips on files using a given ip mask. Would something like that be interesting to rak?

[13:06] <lizmat> wouldn't that be something like '{ matches-ip($_, mask) }' and some module that would provide the matches-ip mask ?

[13:14] <lizmat> *sub

[13:14] <lizmat> I guess something could be built in, but someone would need to write the logic first.  And I assume we also want IPv6, right?

[13:21] <SmokeMachine> I suppose so

[13:26] <SmokeMachine> maybe this? https://raku.land/zef:vrurg/IP::Addr

[13:37] <lizmat> could you please make an issue for that in the App::Rak repo?   so it doesn't fall through thecracks

[16:51] <SmokeMachine> sure! another thing: it seems the link for the log is not on the channels's topic... should it be there?

[16:58] <SmokeMachine> lizmat: I'm sorry for my terrible memory, but have I ever suggested to search for AST patterns on raku code files?

[16:58] <lizmat> not sure what you mean, could you give an example?

[17:02] <SmokeMachine> sure: lets say I want to find everywhere where I have called the method `bla` passing the named parameters `:$ble`. It could exist a way to pattern match the AST generated for multiple code files and search for that. I started playing with AST pattern matching some time ago (I'm not suggesting using it, just an example) https://github.com/FCO/RakuAST-Matcher Something like what treesiter does for editors...

[17:03] <lizmat> aaah.. so basically $file.IO.slurp.AST  and then search the AST for the given condition

[17:04] <SmokeMachine> yes... but some good way to match it... :)

[17:06] <lizmat> hmmmm  the needle could be code that translates into an AST, right? 

[17:07] <lizmat> yes, please, also an issue, please  :-)

[17:10] <SmokeMachine> That was my try on that repo... but, for example, on my example (call of method `bla` passing the named parameter `:ble`), it should be a way to accept `$a.bla: :ble`, or `$b.bla: "something", :42ble` or `Class.bla: :ble[], |c`

[17:11] <lizmat> yeah... and the problem is that :foo :foo(True) are codegenned differently

[17:11] <lizmat> foo => True is also different

[17:12] <SmokeMachine> the way I was trying to do that would be passing: `ANUTHING.bla: :bla(ANITHING), ANYARGUMENTS` but I'm not sure if that's possible

[17:12] <lizmat> so it won't be just a matter of matching classes

[17:12] <lizmat> but some more heuristics would be neede

[17:12] <lizmat> d

[17:12] <SmokeMachine> yes... that's why it's hard... but I think to that be useful, that's would be required...

[17:12] <lizmat> completely agree on the usefulness  :-)

[17:14] <SmokeMachine> but do you think that's something that would be good to Rak?

[17:15] <lizmat> yes, it would

[17:16] <SmokeMachine> if that's implemented, we could also implement a search for AST on every module... :)

[17:16] <SmokeMachine> I mean a site

[17:16] <lizmat> rak will never be able to beat rg on performance, but it should be able to do on unique features!  :-)

[17:20] <SmokeMachine> https://github.com/lizmat/rak/issues/4

[17:22] <SmokeMachine> and maybe if it uses treesiter it could do the same for many languages as well (that's something I'not aware it any grep-like is able to do)

[17:24] <SmokeMachine> sorry, just fixing: `ANYTHING.bla: :bla(ANYTHING), ANYARGUMENTS`
