timotimo ah don't you just love it when a tiny usability feature feels good to use 01:37
even though you're working in a browser
softmoth :) 01:48
timotimo the heap snapshot explorer has two panes for one object each with all its outgoing or ingoing references, and each pane has a "copy over to the other side" button 01:51
but now holding shift while clicking a reference will put the object into the other pane instead of the one it's from 01:52

raku-bridge <DataKinds> hey all, I have a work in progress expansion upon that blog post that I posted earlier 04:21

<DataKinds> don't post it anywhere but if anyone has any feedback I'd like to hear it 🙂
Xliff DataKinds: Nice job from what I've read so far. 04:26
One thing that twisted my head was the accumulate function...
raku-bridge <DataKinds> why's that?
04:26 epony left
Xliff "sub accumulate(@p, &func = * + *) { [\[&func]] @p }" 04:26
raku-bridge <DataKinds> ahhhh 04:27
Xliff I have never seen that in Raku, before. Can you explain why the nested square braces?

abraxxa andrewshitov.com/2020/06/06/some-t...s-in-raku/ is sadly a perfect example what's wrong with Rakus type system: from four types in Perl 5 to too much types which even overlap with the sigils that as available for some types but not all and even change what they do ;( 11:53
11:54 tejr joined 11:56 lichtkind joined
ShimmerFairy It seems that blog post focuses a lot on "look at these weird corner cases that can trip you up", and not enough on "it's because the system works like this, which isn't that complex" 12:00
12:01 sena_kun joined 12:03 Altai-man_ left
ShimmerFairy (though I will say that having sigils beyond $ is way less useful than I presume they are in Perl 5) 12:03
12:11 rbt left, rbt joined 12:12 brtastic joined 12:14 antoniogamiz left
jnthn I'm not really sure what point that article is trying to make. It's pretty simple really: assignment is a copying operation into the target on the left, so the thing you end up with is always the type of the thing on the left. 12:17
I think the problems are largely that folks thing assignment is *replacing* the thing on the left with the thing on the right. And until that distinction is understood, all kinds will be confusing.
s/thing/think/ 12:18
So assign into $ or & means store the thing on the right into the value of the scalar container, assignment into @ means iterate the thing on the right and store each value it produces into the array, and assignment into % means iterate the thing on the right and find pairs or take the things pair-wise 12:20
12:28 JJMerelo left
ShimmerFairy I still have quite a bit of trouble with arrays and hashes honestly, though I wonder how much of that comes from the fact that I used Raku pre-GLR. 12:29
12:34 chloekek joined 12:39 rindolf left 12:45 Kaiepi left 12:48 Kaiepi joined 12:50 chloekek left
abraxxa but it answers exactly those questions that come up in my mind every time I touch Raku code 12:56
even knowing the difference between a %hash variable holding an object of type Hash directly vs. a scalar container pointing to a Hash object doesn't help
I *think* I would have preferred to abandon the sigils at all 12:57
and you can code Raku without them, but it might have some drawbacks and the code style clashes with people that prefer them 12:58
jnthn = vs := is also hard to grasp 12:59
lizmat personally, I have been using the syntax "my \foo := bar"
where the := is currently not needed
I hope a future language version would allow you to drop the \ in that case
abraxxa I say \ in an article yesterday for the very first time
lizmat which would allow you to program sigilless if you want to 13:00
jnthn It won't because the \ is there to solve an ambiguity
lizmat which ambiguity ?
jnthn With a type name
El_Che well, if people found $@%& ugly, wait until they hear about \ 13:01
lizmat you mean, in the case "my int foo := bar" ?
El_Che ;)
jnthn lizmat: Well, just so far as `my foo` - is `foo` a type name or a symbol to be introduced?
lizmat if we would go for allowing that, it would mean a new symbol 13:02
13:02 Kaeipi joined
abraxxa why not use $foo? 13:02
lizmat agree you have some potential issue there
abraxxa because of the additional container memory usage? 13:03
and I thought the language design phase is over after 20 years...
to me this is bikeshedding
lizmat no, the language continues to evolve
but in a controlled way :-)
abraxxa the languages that have a character in front of variable names use $
jnthn < jnthn> It won't <== pretty clear, I think ;)
abraxxa end of discussion 13:04
lizmat [14:57:28] <abraxxa>I *think* I would have preferred to abandon the sigils at all
??
abraxxa what do they add but confusion and more ways to do basic things? 13:05
when everything is an object, $var holds an object, which one doesn't matter
lizmat ah, so you want to abandon @ and % ?
abraxxa if you want to know you call isa on it
lizmat I see... well, you can write your code like that, so go for it! 13:06
13:06 Kaiepi left
abraxxa that would at least stop the question which one you can use because both work on assignment but are different later one 13:06
that confuses starters completely
lizmat my $list = (1,2,3,4); for $list { } # how many times will this iterate ?
abraxxa i guess once 13:07
but this is where the problem starts
lizmat is that what you want ?
abraxxa either an array has a sigil and is NOT an object but something special, but not both
lizmat that's why we have the @ sigil :-)
in Raku, *everything* is an object
abraxxa yes, but Array and Hash have a sigil, the others don't
lizmat even native variables are, at some place 13:08
which others ?
abraxxa how do other languages solve this problem?
Pair?
jnthn There's no direct connection between Array and Hash and sigils, other than they are the default container type for @ and %
Any other Positional or Associative type can be bound to an @ or %
my %h is BagHash # for example 13:09
lizmat m: my @a is List = 1,2,3; @a[0] = 42
camelia Cannot modify an immutable List ((1 2 3))
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
jnthn Or that
abraxxa the missing thing for me is the guideline when to use what and why
lizmat so we have a documentation issue?
abraxxa lizmat: what is a List? Did we *really* need another Array type?
and there are so many of them, and each call returns a different one! 13:10
synthmeat wasn't it for the laziness?
ShimmerFairy The non-$ sigils are the kind of thing I'd suggest maybe removing in a hypothetical Raku 2, but it's not big enough to worry about changing now.
lizmat m: say (1,2,3).WHAT
camelia (List)
ShimmerFairy List is immutable, Array is mutable.
abraxxa sometimes you need to cast, sometimes not
lizmat ShimmerFairy: wish it were so simple
abraxxa ShimmerFairy: and the names don't tell that difference
I'd like to be able to flag each var or maybe type with a read-only bit
lizmat m: my ($a,$b) = 42, 66; # the LHS is a List, but not immutable :-) 13:11
camelia ( no output )
ShimmerFairy well, the List itself is immutable, the contents (annoyingly) aren't :)
jnthn lizmat: Wrong, the List *is* immutable, the things inside it are mutable :)
abraxxa the things outsiders critizise about Perl 5 shouldn't be amplified in Raku like List vs Array 13:12
lizmat to me, saying something is immutable, implies it's a Value Type. Lists are not
ShimmerFairy m: class A { has @.b }; my $x = A.new; $x.b.push(5); say $x.perl; # I really wish you needed 'is rw' like with scalars
camelia A.new(b => [5])
lizmat m: my @a; sub a(@b) { @b.push(42) }; dd @a 13:13
camelia Array @a = []
lizmat hmmm
13:13 Kaeipi left
El_Che I must confess that I have been bitten quite few times needing to cast stuff between array, list and seq 13:13
adding ".list" has kind of a cargo cult + trial and error vibe in my usage 13:14
ShimmerFairy I've never needed to "cast" list types as far as I can recall, they just convert as needed.
El_Che the sigils are not problematic for me though 13:15
ShimmerFairy Same, if there's anything wrong with with lists and hashes, it ain't the sigils :) 13:16
El_Che I must say that sigils feel natural to me (knowing Perl), the \ does not 13:17
13:18 soursBot joined
lizmat even worse, the syntax for creating a Capture 13:19
m: dd \(1,2,3, :foo)
camelia \(1, 2, 3, :foo)
lizmat m: dd (\(1,2,3, :foo)).WHAT
camelia Capture
El_Che in my head: escaping regex? something utf8? a reference? a pointer?
lizmat yeah, I would be in favour of disallowing that
and just use: 13:20
El_Che while I know what it does, but my mind hits the breaks when I skim code that uses it
lizmat m: dd \(1,2,3, :foo).Capture
camelia \(1, 2, 3, :foo)
lizmat perhaps I should start with fixing the .raku representation :-)
jnthn What's broken about it? \(...) is the capture literal syntax, just as :(...) is the signature literal syntax 13:24
And calling .Capture on a list ain't the same, 'cus of the pair handling being different 13:25
ShimmerFairy Maybe it's that a backslash usually means you're escaping something? 13:26
jnthn Not really. Is \w in a regex escaping the w? Nope. :) 13:28
El_Che jnthn: what I mean is that \ is already heavily overloaded
thus it makes it difficult to skim code for me
ShimmerFairy well, you're, um, ESCAPING the usual meaning of 'w' in that context.
El_Che mm, indeed 13:29
jnthn Sure, and \(...) is ESCAPING the usual meaning of parentheses being just a grouping ;)
El_Che mmm
:)
jnthn And don't forget [\+], where you're escaping the reduction operator throwing away the intermediate results
ShimmerFairy Related question: when would I, an ordinary Raku user, ever need to create a Capture or Signature? 13:30
jnthn ShimmerFairy: I think about 90% of my doing that is when using Test::Mock, 13:31
ShimmerFairy that would make sense
jnthn Where it's really quite useful 13:32
lizmat jnthn: re different Pair handling, I'm not seeing it ?
m: dd \(1,2,3,:foo)
camelia \(1, 2, 3, :foo)
lizmat dd \(1,2,3, foo => True) 13:33
evalable6 \(1, 2, 3, :foo)
lizmat m: dd (1,2,3,:foo).Capture
camelia \(1, 2, 3, :foo)
lizmat m: dd (1,2,3, foo => True).Capture
camelia \(1, 2, 3, :foo)
jnthn m: sub foo($x) { dd $x }; my $c = \((a => 42)); foo(|$c) 13:34
camelia :a(42)
jnthn m: sub foo($x) { dd $x }; my $c = ((a => 42)).Capture; foo(|$c)
camelia Too few positionals passed; expected 1 argument but got 0
in sub foo at <tmp> line 1

rypervenche I'm trying to get this .map to work, but because I've added an if/else statement, I'm having trouble assigning the output to a variable, since it gives "Useless use of "=>" in expression "$num1 => set @num2" in sink context". 14:33
gist.github.com/rypervenche/5f5fc3...c92d64b95c

rypervenche In the resulting hash, yes that's what I would like. 14:35
14:36 Boc joined
rypervenche Errr, an example would be: 9831 => Set(189112 2170497 2170512) 14:36
lizmat you need to store the result of $num1 => set @num2 into a variable 14:37
either explicitely or implicitely
that's also what the warning is telling you 14:38
so something like: my \result = $num1 => set @num2; .....; result
rypervenche Ahh, I'll give that a shot then. Thanks.
lizmat I guess in the "if" case, you don't want anything added to the map, right ? 14:39

Parsing of contributors is not perfect.
It's done by "blame"ing every single file, and adding up the lines of code in every fragment. 15:31
It's not really what every one has written, but how many lines written (or otherwise touched) by someone are in the current state of the repo. 15:32
Here's the presentation, BTW. jj.github.io/doccing-raku/#/6 15:34
I'd say it's 99% ready. Might change something from here to presentation time in 90 minutes.
rypervenche lizmat: Hmmm, I altered your little one-liner to look a bit more like my hash, and I don't understand why yours works and mine has the sink issue: gist.github.com/rypervenche/5f5fc3...c92d64b95c 15:35

finanalyst JJMerelo, so why am I getting this error: name has a '::' rather than a hyphen (if this is intentional please pass :relaxed-name to meta-ok) 16:53

antoniogamiz is there a way to make compare paths in a os-independent way? Something like "a\b".IO eq "a/b".IO => True 16:55
lizmat m: "a\\b".IO eqv "a/b".IO 16:56
camelia WARNINGS for <tmp>:
Useless use of "eqv" in expression ".IO eqv \"a/b\".IO" in sink context (line 1)
lizmat m: dd "a\\b".IO eqv "a/b".IO

antoniogamiz lizmat: so it cannot be done? 16:58
lizmat not immediately 17:00
it's a good question :-) 17:01
antoniogamiz I will compare all parts then :D
or replace \\ by /
lizmat yeah, feels like a thing to do 17:02

Add a check for volatile source-urls

Volatile `source-url`s will result in an inconsistent module state the users computer as soon as the contents of that source-url change without a matching change in the version number. Setting `source-url` to a git master branch is the typical faux-pas.
  *Instead* one should change the `source-url`to link to a never changing target (a tag, revision or some zip file).

kensanata Returning after a long time I uninstalled all the Perl6 stuff I had and installed rakubrew. So far so good. Then I tried zef install --/test cro and got "Enabled fetching backends [git path curl wget] don't understand www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JN/JNTHN/....3.tar.gz" and something about configuring "one of the following backends" [pswebrequest] – that does that mean? 21:02
timotimo pswebrequest is, i think, based on powershell's built-ins? 21:07
but i think the actual problem is you don't have a tar installed?
[Coke] kensanata: what platform are you on? 21:08
kensanata [Coke]: Some Debian variant (PureOS) 21:10
timotimo: tar --version says I have 1.30
[Coke]: That is, I did a sudo apt install rakubrew and went from there. 21:11
Let me check what I did.
No, I did cpanm App::Rakubrew because apt only had rakudo stuff from 2018 21:13

leont Yeah, some of those really do need an explanation 22:36
But half of that is that non-python programmers have no idea what some of these functions are supposed to do 22:38

AlexDaniel kensanata: if you're on a debian derivative, any reason you can't use rakudo that is packaged in the repos? 22:40
tellable6 AlexDaniel, I'll pass your message to kensanata
AlexDaniel kensanata: ah, I've read your last message. Rakudo 2018.12 is not bad at all, but you can easily have 2020.05.1 from unstable 22:42

Fix %*BOT-ENV situation

By using PROCESS variables instead. Dynamic variables shouldn't be used in code where start blocks are common. See
  github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/3770.
There's probably a better way to achieve this, but for now this will do.
