sarna good morning all o/
jmerelo hi!
06:17 cpan-raku left
sarna when is a new version of rakudo-star dropping? the last one was released in march 06:23
jmerelo sarna: it's in the making.
sarna any rough estimates? :) rough as in "maybe this year" or "definitely next year" 06:24
jmerelo tyil is working on it github.com/rakudo/star/pull/144
well, tyil mentions it should get going before the end of the year
sarna oh I see
nice!

sarna I told the redmonk programming language rankings person about our rename thing :) 06:52
06:55 wamba joined
jmerelo In this tutorial in Spanish they recommend Raku to run Perl: eead-csic-compbio.github.io/perl_b...ode86.html 07:04
sarna: thanks!
sarna: problem is, with the rename and everything, results are going to be split
07:09 reportable6 left 07:11 reportable6 joined
sarna jmerelo: yeah, I told them not everything is ready yet 07:20
the ranking comes out in june and january
can I provide defaults for optional parameters? 07:27
07:32 jmerelo left
tobs m: sub f ($x? = 10) { $x }; say f; say f 20 07:37
camelia 10
20
sarna ha, neat :D thanks 07:38
tobs sarna: ^ I think providing a default makes the parameter optional as well, so the "?" is not necessary.
sarna tobs: will it be `defined` in the function body?
tobs if you give it a defined value, yes; if it assumes the default value and that is defined, also yes :) 07:39
sarna m: sub f ($x = 10) { say 'yes' if defined $x }; f() 07:40
camelia yes
sarna okay, thanks :)

El_Che morning 08:39
sarna hello
I have some problems with running a shell command
I want to run `awk '/MemTotal/ {print $2}' /proc/meminfo`, but raku tells me `/bin/sh: print: command not found ` 08:40
El_Che quotes? 08:41
sarna I run it like `shell qx{awk '/MemTotal/ {print $2}' /proc/meminfo}, :out`
oh, qx already runs the command? I misread the docs 08:42
08:50 wamba joined 08:52 Guest91 joined
Guest91 my $f='hi/there/yo'; how do I select only 'yo'? i tried $f ~~ m/ \/ (.*?) $$/; but this selects there/yo. WHY? 08:52
why isnt .*? being non-greedy? 08:53
El_Che $f ~~ m/ .+ \/ (.+) $$/; 08:54
Guest91 thank you;_; 08:58
i was traumatised
09:03 wamba left
tobs Guest91: it was non-greedy, but because you wanted to match end-of-line $$ after it, so the capture group got extended to satisfy that. 09:04
m: say 'hi/there/yo'.split('/')[*-1] # alternative without regexes: split by '/' and give me the last portion 09:06
camelia yo
Guest91 neat, thank you 09:09

El_Che Geth: tobs solution is orders of magnitude better if it fits your use case 09:44
oops
Already left
maybe I need to removed the /ignore for channels leavings and quits :)
SmokeMachine m: say "hi/there/yo".comb(/\w+/).tail
camelia yo
El_Che SmokeMachine: now you're showing off :) 09:45
SmokeMachine :)
sarna really likes comb
El_Che I like tobs solution better because it's familiar in other languages
sarna baby raku? :^) 09:46
El_Che acknowledging the width and complexity of raku, I'll say baby raku is pretty close to the language of a linguistic scholar :) 09:47
SmokeMachine m: my $a = "hi/there/yo"; say $a.substr: $a.rindex("/") + 1 # even more common in other languages...
camelia yo
sarna El_Che: only Damian Conway is fluent in regular raku 09:50
09:50 RobRaku left
tobs ah, .tail would've been neater indeed 09:50
El_Che sarna: if he dies, the last native speaker will be gone for ever :) 09:51
sarna is raku critically endangered then :'( 09:55
El_Che no, it will end like a language like english :) 09:56
compare the complexity of Latin and English :)
sarna thinks 09:58
maybe it's more like arabic, Damian speaks MSA and we're all speaking simpler dialects
El_Che good point
excellent point, actually 09:59

tbrowder: but I don't think we have any of those.

abraxxa can I assign the output of a split to two scalars? 13:25
in Perl 5 I would write my ($protocol, $port) = split('/', 'tcp/1234', 2);
jmerelo abraxxa: try that
abraxxa but split returns a Seq and I haven't found an example how to assign that to a list of scalars 13:26
jmerelo m: my $þ = "a,b"; my ($a, $b) = $þ.split(","); say "$a,$b"
camelia a,b
Altai-man_ m: my ($a, $b) = 'he,he'.split(','); say $a;
camelia he
Altai-man_ m: my ($a, $b) = 'he,he'.split(','); say $a; say $b;
camelia he
he
jmerelo abraxxa: ^^^ just use destructuring
abraxxa destruction? 13:27
Altai-man_ structuring, destructuring
like when you do this cool trick 13:28
m: (-> (:$foo, :$bar) { say $foo + $bar })({ :42foo, :50bar })
camelia 92
Altai-man_ `my ($foo, $bar)` is very similar to a signature... and in fact it kind of is. so just as you can split some call input into parameters of a block, so you can do with a multi-variable declaration 13:29
and the "smart name" for this "split" is "destructuring"
abraxxa like in Perl 5 would have been sufficient, thanks 13:35
I'd need a trick if something is either a scalar or an array so I can loop both but for the scalar only a single time
lizmat m: my ($a,@b) = "a,b,c,d,e,f".split(','); dd $a, @b 13:37
camelia Str $a = "a"
Array @b = ["b", "c", "d", "e", "f"]
Altai-man_ abraxxa, also keep in mind that if your signature is `my (@foo, $bar)` then $bar will never be assigned.
13:40 mid_laptop joined
abraxxa why does that return true although the key doesn't exist in the hash? if %Firehol-service<dst-port> { 13:42
ah it does work 13:46
what does assigning an array to an array create an array with a single element that is an array? 13:57
my @services = %Firehol-service<dst-port> ~~ Str
?? (%Firehol-service<dst-port>,)
!! %Firehol-service<dst-port>;
one way to solve it is using .list on the array
another := instead of =
Altai-man_ because containers 13:58

hmm, thought it'd be a recent change, but it was there since the beginning of times... 23:17
stoned75 indeed. I checked ;-)
sena_kun well, technically ^& is indeed a valid regex which means conjunction of beginning of the string with another branch that does nothing 23:19
ouch, I read it backwards

sena_kun unicodable6, help 23:20
unicodable6 sena_kun, Just type any Unicode character or part of a character name. Alternatively, you can also provide a code snippet. # See wiki for more examples: github.com/perl6/whateverable/wiki/Unicodable
sena_kun u: ^&
unicodable6 sena_kun, U+005E CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT [Sk] (^)
sena_kun, U+0026 AMPERSAND [Po] (&)
sena_kun unidump: ^&
unicodable6 sena_kun, gist.github.com/5474ad8597ac71bc8c...6e8f91f3db
jnthn I think it's actually using ^& as an example of two non-alphanumeric chars 23:21
sena_kun ok, now I am confused
stoned75 :-}
jnthn And saying that since <!ww> matches between them, then <.ws> also matches between them.
sena_kun jnthn, but why does it match `<.ws>`? 23:22
jnthn "will match <.ws> in the middle"
sena_kun ...but there are no white space characters in the middle...
jnthn It's not so clearly written, but I think it means that `"^&" ~~ rule { '^' '&' }` is a match

PrecompilationRepository document
jnthn sena_kun: Becuase the default <.ws> is defined as `<!ww> \s+` or similar
And neither ^ nor & are word chars
sena_kun jnthn, isn't it wrong?
jnthn (Where `ww` means "there is a word character either side of me")
Which "it"? :) 23:24
sena_kun it is not \s*, but \s+
jnthn Oh, right :)
sena_kun I'd say this is a bug
jnthn Yeah, there's a few formulations; `<!ww> | \s+` is the one I was thinking of.
Bug...where? 23:25
sena_kun jnthn, a white space rule matches something that is not a white space as long as it is not a word-like character?
jnthn As long as there's not a word char both sides of the current position.
Think about operators like `+` and `cmp`. I can write $a+$b, but not $acmp$b 23:26
sena_kun m: say "I&can&do&things&haha& ~~ / 'I' <.ws> 'can' <.ws> /
camelia 5===SORRY!5=== Error while compiling <tmp>
Unable to parse expression in double quotes; couldn't find final '"' (corresponding starter was at line 1)

------> 3hings&haha& ~~ / 'I' <.ws> 'can' <.ws> /7⏏5<EOL>
expecting …
sena_kun hmm
m: say 'I&can&do&things&haha&' ~~ / 'I' <.ws> 'can' <.ws> /
camelia Nil
jnthn The default behavior of <.ws> deals with that.
sena_kun m: say 'I&can' ~~ / 'I' <.ws> 'can' <.ws> /
camelia Nil
sena_kun m: say 'I&can' ~~ / 'I' <.ws> 'can' /
camelia Nil
sena_kun hmm 23:27
jnthn <.ws> won't match the &; it's just saying that whitespace may be there in any situation, and if it's not then <!ww> better be False
Well, "not match" rather than False
Anyway, all it's trying to say in the doc is that <.ws> will match between ^ and & 23:28
Probably it'd be clearer with a table of examples
sena_kun because `regex ws { <!ww> \s* })`?
jnthn So it's more obvious what is an example and what is regex syntax :)
sena_kun oh, actually docs are saying about *, not + 23:29
jnthn I think I had it right the first time actually :)
jnthn is a bit tired
23:29 chloekek left
stoned75 sena_kun where does it say *, not + ? 23:30
sena_kun stoned75, docs.raku.org/language/grammars#ws <-
stoned75 thanks
sena_kun I'm checking the implementation right now, thought it is unlikely there is a thinko, but just maybe...
stoned75 ah I should Iave checked there! 23:31
*have
jnthn I don't think `<ww>` is documented 23:32
stoned75 m: 'ab' ~~ /<.ws>/ 23:33
camelia ( no output )
sena_kun jnthn, docs.raku.org/syntax/%3C|w%3E
not a cigar maybe
m: say 'ab' ~~ /<.ws>/
camelia ｢｣
stoned75 that's a match for me :) 23:34
when the same paragraph I mentioned says it does not match :-}
sena_kun stoned75, I think the paragraph refers to something like this: 23:36
m: say so "ab" ~~ m:s/a <.ws> a/;
camelia False
sena_kun m: say so "^&" ~~ m:s/'^' <.ws> '&'/
camelia True
stoned75 oh IC 23:37
sena_kun m: say so "ab" ~~ m:s/a <.ws> b/; 23:38
camelia False
sena_kun actually it should be `b` at the end, but it doesn't change the result
stoned75 of course
23:38 rbt left 23:39 rbt joined
stoned75 <ws> is a strange beast. I'll stick to \s :) 23:39
sena_kun oooooooh, I am starting to get it 23:40
><.ws> > makes sure that words are separated
stoned75 anyway I think I get it now. thanks for your help guys
sena_kun but ^& is not a, ahem, word
stoned75, thank you for your question! I am updating the docs right now... 23:41
stoned75 great! because I admit I'm not sure how I would try to improve it :-}
sena_kun stoned75, in terms of "what to do" or "how to write it more clearly"? 23:42
stoned75 hum... both :-} 23:43
sena_kun stoned75, as for the first one: the docs are on github, github.com/perl6/doc/, so if you have an account, you are set. if you want to report a bug or a mistake or something like this, but not sure what to do with it, you can just open an issue at github.com/Raku/doc/issues and someone will look into it 23:44
stoned75, when you see a typo or a wrong example or something like this, you can fork the repo, commit your fix, push it to your fork and do a pull request 23:45
stoned75 oh yes thanks. I meant I'm not sure if this paragraph should be left alone or not and if not I'm not sure how to improve it :)
because well AlexDaniel gave me commit access a few weeks ago 23:46
sena_kun stoned75, if you are not sure how to fix, just dropping by here or creating a ticket helps a lot
stoned75 I'm 'stoned' on github
sure. thanks for your advices ! 23:48
sena_kun stoned75++ 23:49

Clarify how ^& works with regard to <.ws> rule

  @stoned++ for reporting and @jnthn++ for discussing.		 23:50
AlexDaniel :)
sena_kun a-a-and a fix is here! 23:51
.oO ( the topic for my second blog post isn't )
stoned75 great. many thanks !
jnthn sena_kun++ 23:55
