kshannon Is there a way to call a method of the parent class from inside a different method? 00:04
00:05 patrickb left
kshannon I'm writing a subclass of Proc that wraps both .shell() and .spawn() and I would *REALLY* like to be able to call Proc.spawn from my wrap implementation of .shell 00:06
I'm hoping there's some kind of syntax for the perl5 `$self->SUPER::method(...)` 00:09
I've read all about callwith etc, but they only work with the currently executing method. 00:10
I'm guessing it's going to involve some metamethods. 00:12
pilne me again! as someone currently stuck in win10 if i want to give comma a whirl (and an environment i'm not nearly as comfy as in linux to dick around with things more complicated than"system path" in) will i be making my life noticably more difficult using the rakudo-pkg latest and greatest compiler 00:18
vs using rakudo star 2019.03?
elcaro kshannon: I'm not an expert, so this is possibly the wrong way to go about it, but this seems to work... 00:19
kshannon: method bar { self.^parents[0].^find_method('foo').(self, $args) }
as an example of calling Parent.foo from Child.bar 00:20
kshannon Thanks elcaro. That will do for now. 00:21

vrurg kshannon: if you're still around, you're probably looking for class-qualified calls: self.Foo::method(...) 02:20
kshannon I should have tried that :) 02:21
I didn't see it anywhere in the docs :(
vrurg kshannon: it's a bit hidden, right. Look in Operators section.
method call ops

pilne so, i went all-out, i did the rakudo-pkg on an 18.04 ubuntu wsl, and rakudo star with comma in win10 (: 02:33
02:46 ZzZombo_ joined 02:47 ZzZombo left, ZzZombo_ is now known as ZzZombo
pilne is there a good rule of thumb for "temp" vs "let"? 03:05
elcaro pilne: see the docs here: docs.perl6.org/language/variables#...emp_prefix 03:29
essentially, `temp` always restores the old value at the end of a block... `let` only restores the old value if the block exits unsuccessfully
so it depends on your needs. that said, I've never used either *shrug* 03:30
but maybe that's because I try to re-assign variables as rarely as possible 03:31

chloekek Why does it not work with reverse composition?
I suspect it has to do with the use of Whatever?
p6: my &slurp-file = { .IO } R∘ { .slurp }; say slurp-file(‘/dev/null’); 09:32
camelia
chloekek Seems like it. I wonder whether this is due to ambiguity, because it’s not really clear what the scope of * should be in this case (and it seems to include the composition in the *-created function). 09:33
09:40 vividsnow left, vividsnow1 joined
chloekek Perhaps operators should have a trait that tells Whatever whether to include them or not. Then for higher-order operators such as ∘ it won’t. 09:41

Also the code block text size is way too large, any quick fix? I noticed other posts have smaller code text size 14:46

guifa2 tbrowder: what did you do fix the text size in code blocks? 15:17
tbrowder guifa2: i did nothing explicit. jmerelo has been tweaking css in the theme. i wrote my article in raw html without psssing it through a gist. 15:19
guifa2 ah okay! Sounds good. I'll leave it for him to tweak then. 15:20
[Coke] .
tbrowder for the code blocks is wrapped them in <pre><code> blah blah</code></pre> tags
with the code in lines and spacing as desired 15:21
it looks fairly good, but time for jmerelo to polish theme has been very limited. 15:22
and i am NOT going to jump in the middle of his plans. 15:23

QuantumPerl First time on an irc channel, but I am very enthusiastic to learn about Raku and the community
sena_kun QuantumPerl: welcome
tellable6 2019-12-13T00:45:34Z #raku-dev <AlexDaniel> sena_kun: interesting release situation: colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_lo...-12-13#l21
2019-12-13T00:46:11Z #raku-dev <AlexDaniel> sena_kun: this can never happen on nqp/rakudo side because the sakefile makes sure it can push everything and then it pushes
2019-12-13T00:47:32Z #raku-dev <AlexDaniel> sena_kun: so it's not a big problem, just something to keep in mind maybe
lizmat then you've come to the right place, although Friday night may not be the busiest time of the week
QuantumPerl well, I am planning to visit as often as I can 21:47
I guess this is a good time to get started with everything that has been going on 21:48
was wondering if the project which aimed at "translating" Perl 5 programs to Raku ones has had any activity/contribution 21:49
I saw the idea proposed on the perl website, found it pretty interesting, so I as curious 21:50
was*
guifa2 I don't think there's been much activity on being able to put in P5 code and spit out Raku, but there is still an inline perl5 module that you can import fairly readily
sena_kun is curious about a regex translation engine, but doesn't know enough perl to estimate 21:51
21:52 cpan-raku left
guifa2 sena_kun: you mean one that would take in a P5 regex and convert to a Raku one? Or would use regex to convert the code? 21:52
sena_kun guifa2: p5 regex into raku 21:53
guifa2 That shouldn't be toooooo hard to do. That could honestly make a pretty nice advent post (creating a Raku grammar to parse a P5 regex and then reconstruct using actions) 21:54
sena_kun yeah
I have one for JS regexes
github.com/edumentab/p6-ecma262regex
and I think that if not 100% can be covered, but 99% would be a great help for everyone, as pcre is everywhere
QuantumPerl that is pretty neat, it would make for a good start for a more general project aiming at spiting p5 into raku 21:55
sena_kun one thing that bothers me is that ecma has a nice and clean grammar defined... but I haven't seen such a thing for perl regexes. OTOH I suspect I just did not search long enough

[Coke] perl or raku ? 22:01
brass Is there any way to change directories in raku so that when the program exits the shell is still in that directory? 22:03
Juerd brass: No program can do that
brass I didn't think so, just checking though 22:04
Juerd brass: You can't change the working directory of the parent process, but you can start a new shell. However, when you exit that (and your process if it's still running), you'll be back in the old working directory.
22:05 chloekek joined
Juerd This is independent of whatever programming language you're using 22:05
lizmat also note that chdir does nothing else than changing $*CWD 22:09
so that this is all lexically constrained, and doesn't cause problems when different threads want to have different working directories 22:10
