ToddAndMargo anyone on newbie duty? 00:41

ToddAndMargo Qustion: when I use "UInt" and "uint", they act exactly the same for me. One is a subset of Int and the other is a native type, but they act exactly alike (well, for me). What is the difference between them? 01:11
AlexDaniel one is a native type and the other isn't 01:26
uint is uint64 I think
while UInt can be of any size
ToddAndMargo Hi Alex, I though that if you did not give a type a size (uint16, etc.) that it was assigned one on the fly based on what data you fed it. Am I to presume now that it will always assign the largest size? 01:30
What confuses me is if one is a native type and the other is a subset of Int, what do they act exactly the same? 01:31
why not what. Stinking typos 01:32
01:42 llfourn left
ToddAndMargo By any change was UInt just an academic task to show how to duplicate an uint? 01:43

[Coke] when you say they act the same - can you provide an example? 02:16
02:19 llfourn left
[Coke] native types can have more compact storage, but that's not going to impact functionality. 02:20
... the fact that they don't have an object associated with them I would expect to impact some functionality, though. 02:21
m: my UInt $a = 3; my uint $b = 4; dd $a; dd $b
camelia Int $a = 3
4
[Coke] m: my UInt $a = 3; my uint $b = 4; say $a.^name, $b.^name;
camelia IntInt
[Coke] (that explodes on the uint in my REPL, weird.) - but I think what's happening there is that the uint sees you're trying to do something object-y on it, so it upgrades. So then the method call works, but it's not technically being called on the uint. 02:23
ToddAndMargo p6 'my UInt $a = 3; my uint $b = 4; say $a.^name, " ", $b.^name;'Int Intsays they are the same thing. I am starting to think UInt is an academic exercise on how to create an unsigned integer 02:26

ToddAndMargo oh wait a minute. UInt is not constrained. p6 'my UInt $c = 0x0; $c = $c +| 0x1FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF; say $c'862718293348820473429344482784628181556388621521298319395315527974911 02:36
Up to that point they act exactly the same.
uzl[m] [Coke]: Yeah, those are outside articles so I went with the articles's original titles ;-). I wonder if lizmat will update the OpenSource articles. 02:41
02:46 mahmudov left
[Coke] ToddAndMargo: yes. when you try to invoke methods on a native type, it converts it first, then calls the method. 02:54
docs.raku.org/language/nativetypes 02:55
m: my uint $a = 3; say $a ~~ uint; say $a ~~ UInt;
camelia False
True
[Coke] in order to call .ACCEPTS with ~~, it has to put it into a box first. 02:56
so yes; if you call methods on it, it looks like the same.
[Coke] wanders off 02:57
ToddAndMargo Now I am confused. $ p6 'my uint $a = 3; say $a ~~ uint; say $a ~~ UInt; say $a.^name'FalseTrueInt 03:03
oh, I get it, it was converted before the method was called. 03:08

pedr0 yeah, but how can I iterate through the captured groups ? 09:31

fingolfin70 Hello! Where can I find out how to properly create and apply my own exception types? 09:56
Xliff fingolfin70: docs.perl6.org/language/exceptions 09:57
fingolfin70 I read docs.perl6.org/language/exceptions, but there is only about using.
Xliff Creating an exception is as simple as defining a class that inherits from exception. "class X::My::Exception is exception { }" 09:58
Then to use it, X::MyL::Exception.new.throw
X::My::Exception.new.throw # Oops
So... to sum it up PROPERLY! 09:59
m: class X::My::Exception is Exceptionl; X::My::Exception.new.throw
camelia 5===SORRY!5=== Error while compiling <tmp>
'X::My::Exception' cannot inherit from 'Exceptionl' because it is unknown.
Did you mean one of these?
'Exception'
'Exceptions'

xinming I don't mean the &func thing, 17:23
I wish something to support at statement level.
I know @array.race(...).map({ }); will do the job
ab5tract just put the block you are supplying the for loop as an argument to the race method
jnthn You can say `race for @foo.race(:batch(1)) { }`. I don't think there'll be sugar for this, since the goal really is that in most cases it picks an appropriate batch/arity for you, and so you'd need to specify them less. 17:24
ab5tract nvm, i think i forgot the race syntax, sorry xinming 17:25
xinming ab5tract: It's ok. :-)
jnthn: the algorithm to choose degree in race statement prefix is the same as one used in .race method, right?
ab5tract xinming might be a fun project to try defining your own sugar op for it :) 17:26

Fix output value

  (1, |$(2, 3), 4) is functionally equivalent with (1, slip($(2, 3)), 4)
so both should give the same answer. Whether or not containerness if the list should be taken into account, is possibly another question. But not a documentation issue.

If you go "use Carp" you'll see that even though the confess symbol wasn't imported, you still get the output of the 'say' in the same block. I'm sure that there's a reason for it, but it's unexpected

guifa2 . o O ( plus I'm sure that using named parameters the way I'm trying to is a total abuse of the way the export system was designed ) 19:40
ab5tract guifa2 what happens if you wrap the &confess in a block? 19:43
i don't know if this is the output i'm supposed to get (haven't used confess in ages) but.. 19:44
$ perl6 -Ilib -e 'use Carp :confess; confess(die "obviously")'didn't call ofunobviously in block <unit> at -e line 1
19:44 wamba joined
ab5tract ah, the new lines didn't translate 19:44
so it seems that this change might do the trick? 19:45
my package EXPORT::DEFAULT { OUR::{'&carp'} := { &carp(@_) } }
guifa2 ab5tract: notice that it said "didn't call ofun" (but you didn't say use Carp :confess, :ofun)
ab5tract egads 19:46
guifa2 hmm I'll try that out later and see if it works. Worst case scenario I can just add the options in later for a future version.
ab5tract guifa2 well it stopped complaining about not having a confess in the namespace 19:47
but i'm not sure it was actually confessing :(
and indeed the didnt call ofun was triggering
i think this export logic might deserve some revisiting 19:48
every time i touch it i feel like it doesn't exactly map to how i would expect a Raku solution to order itself
which would make since if it since it would have been one of the earliest and most bedrock functionalities to get into place before further work 19:49
*which would make sense
guifa2 I think 95% of it works fairly straightforwardly 19:50
ab5tract *which would make sense since (:
guifa2 The other 5% is tricky, but it's also for people trying to do weird things, so it's not tooooo evil
ab5tract the general use case of specifying is export(:tag) does work quit well 19:51
guifa2 In other cases, where you want to enable loooots of options, it's almost easier to export subs for it 19:52
set-foo-option(crazy arguments)
ab5tract ah, that's a thought
but here's the thing 19:54
i feel like i encounter this weirdness whenever i want to enable a default behavior while providing extensibility 19:55
that sounds like the kind of corner i don't expect to encounter in a perly world
19:57 mahmudov joined
guifa2 OTOH I suppose I could make my life easy, and just export all four (the default in Perl5 was to export three of the four), and have use Carp <optionA optionB>; 19:57
ab5tract i mean, if a camel wants to carp, you think they aren't gonna confess to wanting a block until they've had all their ofun? 20:00
i don't properly remember the four exports of carp, i just riffed on the exports in your gist :) 20:01
HollisterSmiley "i mean, if a camel wants to carp, you think they aren't gonna confess to wanting a block until they've had all their ofun?" Imagine saying that to the guys at starbucks. they call the police on you for vrazy talk :-D 20:02

ab5tract i'll be carping about my camel confession rights till i die!! :') 20:04
HollisterSmiley or maybe they'd just think you work in marketing 20:05
guifa hahaha 20:06
ab5tract 2020 the return of the camel.. now with butterfly wings!
guifa Oh and crap I messed up my names in that gist anyways 20:07
basically, carp = warn (but from caller side), cluck = carp + backtrace, croak = die (but from caller side), confess = croak + backtrace 20:08

HollisterSmiley this language is amazing 20:26
ryan88 The docs say `==` is the Numeric equality operator, but it seems to work fine for Bool... should I use == or ~~ for Bool? 20:27
HollisterSmiley None of the above. It's bool 20:28

apologies.
ab5tract i believe that it isn't a typo, just wondering where that behavior is coming from
tobs ab5tract: a method call without invocant applies to the topic $_. It's in the docs for sure, but I haven't found it yet
ab5tract :so isn't a method call itself 20:41
if it causes a method call, it would be something like self.self(:so)
m: say Any:so;

ab5tract there it is

ab5tract or lizmat or other second eyes? 20:45
tobs from my standpoint you should feel confident reporting that as a bug on github 20:46
lizmat I'm surprised "if :so" even parses
tobs that warning was introduced in 2010 apparently and there's a sibling warning that mentions :!so, so it really seems like it's intended as an adverb
will bug if you don't mind 20:47

lucasb IIUC, '$foo ~~ :bar' is equivalent to ?($foo.bar), and '$foo ~~ :!bar' equivalent to !($foo.bar) 21:33
I expect it to work with ~~ and given/when as it does. I *don't* expect it to work if "if :so" (meaning to call $_.so) 21:34
21:35 libertas_ joined
lucasb 'if :foo {...}' is ok. It's just checking the truthiness of a Pair object, which is always true. 21:35

lizmat fwiw, I find that syntax *very* confusing 21:42
I know it was intended to be used on IO::Path objects
so you could say "filename".IO ~~ :r 21:43
but yuck
ab5tract lizmat if i read lucasb's examples correctly, it looks more like this is sugar around truthifying the results of a method call in list format? 21:44
AlexDaniel lizmat: I know that it exists but I never used it
just doing .r on IO is clearer
lizmat well, for a long time I've not known about it, and I never used it

AlexDaniel actually, I think we should be able to force different order there 21:50
maybe by simply adding numbers like “1. ” to template titles
ab5tract that should work 21:53

kybr is there a way to open a .gz transparently like vim does? 23:23
sjn using what?
less? cat? LibreOffice? 23:25
kybr for 'huge-csv.gz'.IO.lines -> $line { ... }
Xliff O_o
Um... no
You could write a module to do that, though...
kybr okay. thanks. 23:26
Grinnz i assume the raku equivalent of metacpan.org/pod/PerlIO::via::gzip would look very different
sjn Maybe a role you could apply to an IO object? 23:27
sjn makes a guess
Grinnz the main difficulty is that you can't tell where lines are until it's decompressed 23:28
so you need something that can gzip/gunzip a stream so as to not read the whole thing at once 23:29
sjn Or, if you accept how vim does it, just temporarily uncompress the file and iterate over that one
I see github.com/retupmoca/P6-Compress-Zlib has some functionality to extend filehandles. Maybe it can work in IO objects too? 23:31
Grinnz that layer just uses metacpan.org/pod/IO::Uncompress::Gunzip#getline which handles those details 23:32
sjn ah
Grinnz that module is also higher level than Compress::Zlib which this looks like an equivalent to 23:33
i try not to look at metacpan.org/pod/Compress::Raw::Zlib any more than i have to 😬 23:34
sjn Hm. Sure? Code says it uses Compress::Zlib::Raw, which is a NativeCall wrapper around zlib.so
Don't know the code though, so I might be missing something 23:35
Grinnz there's also a subtle difference between raw zlib compression and gzip compression
lizmat we need a module that creates a Supply out of a gzipped file, then you could run .lines on the Supply 23:41
the supply would get fed with anything the next batch of decompressed data
