tonyo it's not about saving keystrokes but about solving the problem, regex is meant to match patterns and it should put those functions before all else..the regex /foobar/ or /dead horse/ is just as easily read as /'foobar'/ or /'dead horse'/ and cleaner 01:17

librasteve ^^ just right imo 07:46
07:52 jpn left
nemokosch well what can I do about it 07:53
I heavily disagree that it's cleaner or as easily read 07:54
07:54 jpn joined 07:55 sena_kun joined
it's not cleaner because it mixes instructions and literals 07:55
and if that doesn't make it harder to read already, significant whitespace also means that you cannot format it 07:56
I think these are fairly concrete arguments, on the other hand I only see this vague notion that it somehow stands in the way of solving the problem - how? 07:58

tbrowder__ late to the dance, but if i were looking for "dead horse" i would use ~~ /dead \h* horse/ 10:35
m: say "dead horse" ~~ /dead \h* horse/ 10:37

tonyo they're concrete arguments if you think only you can be correct, for sure 11:13
and i didn't say anything stands in the way of a problem so that's quite a few miles or kms out of context 11:14

antononcube I have a design or naming question. Given that "LLM" stands for "Large Language Model", which of these package / module names you find more / most "telling" for a package with the mission statement "Raku package for functions and function objects to access, interact, and utilize LLMs" : 0) LLM 1) LLM::Functions 2) LLM::Functors 3) LLM::Framework 4) LLM::Interlocutors 13:29
13:30 raku_guest joined
nemokosch Well you didn't say anything in particular 13:33
I assumed "it's about solving the problem" and "regex (...) should put those functions before all else" meant to communicate some argument 13:34
Maybe that was presumptuous on my side but I'd say in an argument that's actually the good faith attitude 13:35
Anyway, it's tiresome that some ad-hominem red herring gets thrown in, as if there wasn't an objectively measurable difference. 13:38
13:40 xinming_ left 13:42 xinming_ joined
tonyo agreed, having to deny saying things i didn't say gets tiresome 13:52
if you have a framework the 3, otherwise 0 is what i'd look at
nemokosch then I guess we can agree that it's all about solving problems and tools that don't solve the problems are worthless 13:57
one got to know why I prefer quoted literals and not really why you prefer unquoted literals, that's all what happened 13:58
I really can't see what's the need for looking for hooks to cling something personal there 13:59
13:59 razetime left
tonyo it was asserted that it's possibly uncontended that people prefer raku regex to PCRE. i stated i prefer PCRE syntax for the most part because i don't like quoted literals in the regex. not sure we're arguing about what my preferences are. 14:00
or why it's even really a discussion, as uninteresting as it is
lizmat and uninteresting it is.... 14:04
14:10 razetime joined
nemokosch well, then you basically reassured my point. I gave a reason that might convince someone that Raku regexes are better - you said that you prefer otherwise, because. 14:12
why would that make arguments that people can just evaluate and consider, invalid
anyway, we could have spared this if you just downright said "I fancy it more and that's that" šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø 14:15
lizmat *sigh* 14:17
14:18 raku_guest left
Voldenet I prefer pcre syntax only because I've been using it for two decades and tons of languages adopted very similar syntax 14:24
14:25 jpn left 14:33 jpn joined
nemokosch at the end of the day, to be able to use whichever one syntax and transform it into as many variations as possible, is a win either way 14:33
[Coke] anything other than coding stopping us from adding a :pcre to support the syntax? (as opposed to linking to a library) 14:34
nemokosch imo the fact that the Raku syntax kind of stands out can even be a benefit for initial learning (less "which one was it" moments about the minuscule details) but once you only use one for some time, it doesn't matter as much anymore I guess 14:36
14:38 jpn left
[Coke] in the future, could we have a PCRE syntax RE compiled with rakuast and then rendered as a raku RE? (or vice versa) 14:38
14:56 merp left 14:58 deoac joined
tonyo [Coke]: it'd be easy enough to hook up a PCRE library and grammar it 15:05
s/grammar/slang
or should it be: s/'grammar'/slang 15:06
15:24 jpn joined
tonyo isn't there a :P5 in the regex? 15:29

Voldenet well, on top of :P5 there's inline perl 16:44
m: EVAL q!print ('hello world' =~ m{o w}!, :lang<Perl5> 16:45
camelia Could not find Inline::Perl5 in:
/home/camelia/.raku
/home/camelia/rakudo-m-inst-1/share/perl6/site
/home/camelia/rakudo-m-inst-1/share/perl6/vendor

16:45 jpn left
lizmat Well, I guess that could be one approach: :P5 to call into Inline::Perl5 somehow 16:46
advantage would be that the P5 regex would always be compatible with the Perl version that is being used :-)
another approach could be to drop support for :P5 altogether :-) 16:47
and make a more general "pluggable" regex approach 16:48
Voldenet I think having the syntax for :P5 is better than using perl interpreter, but considering the maintenance cost pluggable regex (with Inline::Perl5) sounds better
it makes more sense on nqp-js, where js regexes are better fit 16:50

nemokosch also, should the "P5 regex" just be a different syntax for the same behavior or different behavior altogether? 17:24
I mean capture groups for example - do they nest and turn into arrays for quantifiers?
tonyo m: say 'abcdefghijk' ~~ m:P5{(.(.))}; 17:27
camelia ļ½¢abļ½£
0 => ļ½¢abļ½£
1 => ļ½¢bļ½£
tonyo looks like they do
nemokosch hm, fair enough
actually, what I don't know is how it works in Perl šŸ˜… 17:28
17:46 sena_kun joined
tonyo you'd get ['ab', 'a', 'cd', 'd', 'ef', 'f', ...] 17:47
m: say 'abcdefghijk' ~~ m:P5:g{(.(.))}; 17:49
camelia (ļ½¢abļ½£

tonyo contextually in p5 you could use a while over the regex to the data in the same format as raku's return, so it's not entirely unfamiliar 17:50

ScotDog What is Raku? I have never heard of it. I am interested! 18:04
librasteve o/
raku is the new name for perl6
raku.org has some intro info 18:05
ScotDog Oh that is pretty cool 18:06
librasteve certainly is!
also the rakudo weekly news is worth a read - rakudoweekly.blog (have to say that or @lizmat will kill me) 18:09
ScotDog Thank you librasteve! I will check that out 18:11
