guifa2 Hm. How can one work with $¢? It's a dynamic var that's preset, BUT it seems to get set to Nil when it passes from one sub/method to another 02:06
m: sub foo { say $¢ }; $¢ = "bar"; foo 02:09
camelia Nil
tobs guifa2: there's a mention of it in the docs, from which I gather that it's only intended to be used inside regexes docs.raku.org/type/Match#index-entry-$%C2%A2 02:13
guifa2 tobs: I'm writing a regex engine for binary blobs, so trying to align as closely as I can with the stringy regex 02:14
$/ propogates correctly,but there's no way for me to set the $¢ so that, e.g., methods have access to it 02:15
tobs oh, then you know more than I do 02:16
02:24 aborazmeh left, farcas1982regreg joined
timotimo guifa2: i do believe that the cursor and the match have been unified a year or so back, so you may not have to do anything to $¢ 02:25
02:26 squashable6 left, clarjon1 left
timotimo oh, am i wrong? 02:26
guifa2 timotimo: I know in terms of the class they are the same, but my understanding is that the two are still functionally distinct (and I kinda feel like they should be) 02:27
m: "aaaa" ~~ /(. { say $/.from })+/
camelia 0
1
2
3
guifa2 each $/ is the current inner Match from the ( ... ) capture
m: "aaaa" ~~ /(. { say $¢.from })+/
camelia 0
0
0
0
guifa2 the $¢ refers to the outer Match only. 02:28
(one of those design decisions that actually feels pretty genius TBH, even if $¢ drives me crazy typing haha)
timotimo hm, TIL
do you write it with a compose sequence? 02:29
tobs over here it just happens to be altgr+c
02:30 bloatable6 joined, sourceable6 joined
guifa2 tobs: Yeah, I keep wanting to do opt-c, but on my keyboard it's opt-4 (and dollar is shift-4 so... meh lol) 02:30
timotimo vim lets you do ctrl-k Ct to get that letter 02:31
or :set digraph then you can C <backspace> t i think

timotimo actually you have to do t <BS> C to get it for some reason? 02:33

guifa2 I'll stick with opt-4 ha. I don't hardly use it but trying to match Raku's engine is quite a bit of work. Not in a bad way though, the design decisions are kind of genius 02:37

samcv I have updated the atom language-perl6 package to support .raku. Not yet complete, but the name of the package now has raku in it, and at least i added some of the filetypes 10:30
lizmat samcv++ 10:36
10:41 guifa2 left 10:42 chloekek joined, guifa2 joined 10:43 girafe2 left
abraxxa samcv++ 10:50
a search for 'raku' now suggests language-perl6 10:52
can we rename the atom package completely to language-raku?
samcv abraxxa, maybe. I am not sure. Also I can't change the name of the script because other packages use that. I tried to turn "Perl 6" into "Raku/Perl 6" and github.com/rgbkrk/atom-script/ relies on that name, probably others. So there probably needs some research to find out what packages depend on "Perl 6" for script name, and source.perl6fe for scopeName. source.perl6fe is not user visible so less important to worry about (for now). But before 10:55
changing it over we need to find out which packages are depending on these
abraxxa is it easier to create a new package and deprecate the old one? 10:56
samcv well. that is a problem for poeple updating it. Then that is the same problem that the other packages are still not compatible with a new "language-raku" package 10:57
ok looks like we can do a package rename. So that's nice 10:58
I created an issue here: github.com/perl6/atom-language-perl6/issues/95 to put down all that needs to happen 11:04

abraxxa how can I run a program and continue the raku program flow without caring for exit codes, stdout, etc? 12:58
currently I call run('hamster-snap').so;
timotimo is it important that the program keeps running even when your raku program stops? 12:59
abraxxa yes 13:00
that's just a little script I call in my i3blocks config and this passes an env var to signal that it was clicked
timotimo for that you'll actually want a Thread that keeps the script alive when the program isn't finished when raku is
abraxxa I want to start hamster on click, but return the current working hours per day and week always
timotimo hamster!
abraxxa hamster 3 with Ubuntu 20.04 because it doesn't ship python 2 any more github.com/projecthamster/hamster 13:01
and this has no indicator support so far
at least the damn snap works
I just tried run('hamster-snap &').so; but that doesn't work 13:02
Proc::Async looks complicated too
ah, I guess I need shell for & 13:03

19:06 vike left
Grinnz abraxxa: it is not ideal, but the only other option is "it" which is not used to describe people, so "them/they" is becoming more accepted as a singular gender neutral 19:06

19:11 xfix left
guifa2 but if makes you feel any better, I find it impossible to interpret "you" as plural 19:11
19:11 xfix joined
guifa2 So whenever anyone gives a speech saying that "you" need to do something, I always take it personally. Because for a group, the only optoin is "y'all" 19:12
Grinnz guifa2: and then there's people that use y'all as singular :)
guifa2 Grinnz: that's an urban (emphasis on urban lol) myth though :-) we tend to use it a lot when addressing a single person when we mean that person plus, for instance, the place they work at ("do y'all have X in stock?") 19:16
Grinnz well, wikipedia at least suggests it's more than a myth, but certainly not widespread 19:17
