[Coke] the change to .rakutest means anyone using prove needs to add a --ext=rakutest 17:32
cfa prove6 is preferred, right? 17:45
Nemokosch to be honest, this extension change seems kinda voluntaristic here 17:47
tonyo it needs to be backwards compatible
otherwise half of the modules in the eco will either be untestable or install without tests
Nemokosch what initiated it? the deprecation of the .t extension was nowhere written and nobody talked about it up until like 2 or 3 months ago 17:48
tonyo it was a big discussion ~2 years ago
Nemokosch this isn't like .pm6 or .p6
tonyo it's part of that discussion, too
we were trying to determine _what_ the extension should be and test extensions got pulled into that
Geth doc/main: 098dae258f | Coke++ | 56 files
Rename our own test files from .t to .rakutest

Update testing module, corresponding tests that depend on file extension also.		 17:49
Nemokosch but that discussion apparently didn't lead to the conclusion that is kinda taken at face value at the moment
17:49 euandreh left
tonyo what do you mean? 17:49
Nemokosch that .t was not decided to be deprecated and now all of a sudden, people started acting as if it was 17:50
I don't care much for the extensions, to be honest; much rather it would be good to know how these processes come to be and how to synchronize them
[Coke] From my standpoint - I've had on my list updating raku/doc to follow all the new extensions, as a canary, for some times. previous doc person was more cautious. Now that the site is live, I'm going forward with it. 17:51
tonyo [Coke]++ 17:53
nemokosch: ah, yes, it wasn't as explicit as the pm6 -> rakumod extension change
tellable6 tonyo, I'll pass your message to Nemokosch
[Coke] Next on my rename list is pod6 to rakudoc - will do one, make sure the new site can deal with it, then do them all.
(rakumod was already done because it doesn't impact anything downstream) 17:54

17:56 euandreh joined
I'm not the spokesperson of the .t extension but it would be good to know how it fell obsolete 3 years later 17:56
mind you, it's completely possible that other people just don't put too much thought into things like that but my recurring worry is that an outsider would get contradictory feedback and impressions about a lot of Raku-related things which can easily imply chaos 17:59

tonyo it is a bit that way and the docs should be updated 18:07
as fez moves into the dist management space (i'm currently writing a gzip module so now system deps are necessary from fez or from zef) then a lot of that can start to be cleaned up
there's other atypical patterns that need to change in META6 too, like `depends` specs 18:08
`name` should be the dist name and not a module name 18:09

patrickb I'm wondering about nqp::handle(). It seems the things written it its argument list aren't executed until they are used. Is there some special casing going on or is that some standard functionality I'm blissfully unaware of? 19:11
tonyo are they being thunked? 19:16
19:16 jpn joined
patrickb Hm. Docs don't have much to say about thunks. Anywhere to read up about them? 19:18
Code usually looks like this: nqp::handle(code(value), 'EMIT', $state.run-emit(), 'DONE', $state.run-done(), 'CATCH', $state.run-catch()); 19:20

Update entire page, not just the table.

  (the text referenced the table, had to adjust)
tonyo thunking in haskell means something isn't evaluated until it's used, eg x = len(inf) would return a thunk and not hang until x was used elsewhere 19:36
in terms of nqp i'd guess that the $state.run-emit isn't evaluated until that nqp::handle is evaluated 19:37
but i haven't dug around in there for a while

rf How do you compare objects? I've never actually had to do this before lol
21:53 jpn joined 22:01 jpn left 22:02 rakuuser left
moritz there's eqv for structural comparison, and === for object identity 22:09
22:09 rf left 22:11 shmup joined
Nemokosch === normally works using the .WHICH representation, while eqv works as a .raku comparison by default but since it's meant to be generic, it's to be expected that it's overloaded in all funky ways 22:12
what also uses the .WHICH representation is the hash 22:13
and all data structures backed by a hash some way (Sets, for example)
22:15 jpn joined
tbh I wish it was disallowed (or at least strongly and explicitly discouraged) to overload most built-in operators; the ones that aren't explicitly meant to be generic, at the very least 22:18
if you start overloading e.g numeric operators for values that cannot be meaningfully coerced into numeric values, you basically drill a hole into the predictability of the code 22:20

guifa_ Thus the trick though -- how do you know someone isn't overloading for an object that isn't sufficiently numeric? This is def a case wehre the philosophy is to give folks enough rope to hang themselves BUT also provide sufficient enough guidance (== and eq, along with the existance of ===, eqv, cmp, =:=, etc should clue people in that maybe they should at least give thought to how to compare a custom class) 23:02
but if someone wanted to figure out a way to hack in, say, hyperreal numbersā€¦ haha
