Xliff Why would self.bless return a Nil? 00:07
[ multi method new (JsonNode $node, :$ref = True) { say "NewNode: { $node // '»NoNODE«' }"; $node ?? self.bless(:$node) !! Nil; } ] 00:08
How could the above method return nil if the value of $node is non-nil at the time of the say()?
guifa can you confirm it's on calling self.bless? 00:18
multi method new (JsonNode $node, :$ref = True) { say "NewNode: { $node // '»NoNODE«' }"; $node ?? (say "yup" andthen self.bless(:$node)) !! Nil; } ] 00:19
Xliff If I see a "yup" then is that confirmation? 00:49
guifa yup (sorry, I couldn't resist) 01:06

tbrowder yo, looking for some opinions about good attribute names for a new module 01:52
it is a class to hold the header and data lines for a CSV file (table) 01:53
the class can query the table as a hash of hashes or an array of arrays. 01:54
my current attr names are: @!fields-a, @!lines-a, %!fields-h, %!lines-h (lame, I know) 01:56
shorter (without the !): @aF, @aL, %hF, %hL 02:00
unless there is a raku magic way to access the arrays and hashes with the fields and lines having the same name 02:01

librasteve tbrowder: you could use raku Dan - github.com/librasteve/raku-Dan 10:17
this has fairly lightweight DataFrame structures - so a DataFrame from a CSV will have row index (default is 0..Inf) or you can specify row names and column names 10:20
my \dates = (Date.new("2022-01-01"), *+1 ... *)[^6]; my \df = DataFrame.new( [[rand xx 4] xx 6], index => dates, columns => <A B C D> ); say ~df;
use Dan :ALL; use Text::CSV; my @lines = csv( in => 'DemographicData.csv' ); my \stats = DataFrame.new( columns => @lines[0], data => @lines[1..*-1] ); ~stats[0..5]^; # head 10:23
you can also use Dan::Polars to engage the polars CSV parser which is super fast (but needs some Rust and some tolerance for work in progress status) 10:25
btw Dan is an AoA (with row & column headers) ... it also has mixable cascading accessors so you can do stuff like: 10:28
say df[0][0]; say df[0]<A>; say df{"2022-01-03"}[1];
antononcube @tbrowder ''> the class can query the table as a hash of hashes or an array of arrays. 10:35
raku.land/zef:antononcube/Data::TypeSystem 10:37
librasteve good point - fwiw I see Data::TypeSystem as DataFrames 2.0 (ie much more mutable and fluid) 10:50
(sorry about any "promotion" here ... just wanted to share what's out there) 10:51
antononcube @librasteve Thanks. The scope of "Data::TypeSystem" is limited to just getting or verifying the types of typical "data science" datasets. I.e. lists, tabular datasets, or lists/hashes of tabular datasets. I use it in several other packages for the subs of which certain conditions on the input data have to be verified. (E.g. "JavaScripdt::D3" .) 10:57
"Data::TypeSystem" does not have currently a verification function named, say, is-data-frame , but it seems a good idea to have one. Data frames, though, can be checked via deduce-type. 11:00
gfldex tbrowder: this is how I would *start* with an interface for CSV: gist.github.com/gfldex/9874a7deddf...12664650fb 11:25

antononcube @tbrowder Head cleared by Circadian rhythms or by cicadas rhythms? 13:10

antononcube 👍 👏
tbrowder btw, granddaughter is looking at FAU at Boca Raton for college next yr 13:14
we watched a virtual tour on youtube, very slick production. college at the beach is very appealing to surfer girls 13:15

my new csv module is at github.com/tbrowder/CSV-Table
antononcube Lots of retired professors, musicians, and artists from MidWest, New York, or similar, teach in Del Ray Beach or Boca Radon... 13:17
tbrowder have you thought about doing that?
yr work should be very interesting to the budding researchers 13:19
13:24 merp joined
antononcube @tbrowder Are you asking about the CSV functionalities of your package, or about teaching in South FL? 13:31
Handling CSV files reliably and fast is not trivial. And, yes, missing data or data created at different (non-EN) locales can be fairly problematic. 13:35
13:38 jpn joined 13:42 jpn left
[Coke] tbrowder: is CSV::Table intended to eventually be a full CSV parser? (e.g. handling quoted cells) 13:51
lizmat Or cells with newlines :-) 13:52
[Coke] I see it's under limitations, but wasn't sure if you were planning to eventually add those, apologies.

tbrowder antononcube: teaching in s fl 15:19
[Coke]: maybe, but right now it's not capable. those things i don't think will be too hard, but i don't have a use case for it now. 15:21
I just need something to make it easy to use a simple csv table maybe enroute to conversion an existing raku ORM 15:23
wow, @skaji is back! cool! 15:24
ref csv, 15:26
csv::table, added capability is motivated by others interested in filing issues and submitting prs, but i'm not quite ready to release yet. may use custom operators... 15:28
15:39 xinming joined 15:54 Xliff left
tbrowder [Coke]: i think CSV::Table will already handle at least simple cases of quotes since the separator char can be user-defined. 16:09
hm, normalizing text (the default) would possible hamper that 16:10
*probably
newlines are a different beast. right now i read by line. tony-o's csv parser can handle newlines in a cell 16:13
lizmat: ^^ 16:14
[Coke]: looking closer i think quotes should be handled ok even with normalization as long as there is a definite separator char that is NOT used inside a quote. i use the pipe <|> a lot and that takes care of most problem text. 16:49
*for my uses. and (not tested yet) you can define multiple chars as separators. i just send it to split(/sepstr/) and use its results as cells (to normalize or not) 16:53

antononcube @tbrowder Some South Florida universities reach out to me for teaching. But they require too much certification and vetting of diplomas, etc. -- I always think that is too much effort, so I'm not doing it... I do go present to conferences and meetups in South FL, though. 17:32

lizmat: Is there a pure raku version (that doesn't attempt to implement p5) of your P5getpwnam? 17:58
lizmat you mean, one that doesn't use NativeCall ? 17:59
Xliff One that isn't necessarily based on any other implementation, really? NativeCall or not.
lizmat I don't know of any 18:00
antononcube @lizmat Are sources of the rumors for NativeCall 2.0 spelled out or detailed somewhere?
Xliff WTF? NativeCall 2.0?
Since when?
lizmat antononcube don't know anything of the kind
Xliff lizmat: Does raku have decent process querying capabilities (core or module-land)? 18:01
lizmat could you be more specific?
librasteve my emperience of Boca Raton was sleeping in the conference room I gave my presentation in the next day (Hilton iirc ca 1987) 18:02
[I arrived late and they had given my room away)
Xliff lizmat: Let me restate... does raku have something close to this in moduleland: developer-old.gnome.org/libgtop/st...index.html
Because now that I have a workaround for #5534, I wanna port it. 18:03
lizmat perhaps raku.land/?q=Linux has something for you? 18:06

antononcube @lizmat "could you be more specific?" -- I saw a comment here.
Here it is: > Is there any news on a "version 2" of NativeCall? I'm still hankering to be able to pass C structs by value :^) 18:29
So, I might be mis-characterzing it ...
18:31 codesections left, codesections joined 18:32 codesections left
patrickb There is a (non textualized) list of shortcomings of the current NativeCall implementation. So it's clear that at some point there has to be an API version two. One of the shortcomings I can recall off hand is passing structs by value. 18:32
Ah antoncube beat me to it.
I think there is no one actively working on it. 18:33
Takers welcome! :-P
18:33 codesections joined 18:36 codesections left, codesections joined
Xliff patrickb and antoncube: I think that particular limitation is more a limit on FFI than NativeCall. 18:37
antononcube @Xliff So, we should expect both FFI 2.0 and NativeCall 2.0 ? 18:40
18:40 codesections left, codesections joined
Xliff FFI as in libffi and you'd have to take it up with those maintainers before NativeCal 2.0 could be considered. 18:41
18:41 codesections left, codesections joined 18:43 codesections left, codesections joined
Xliff Me personally, I'd want formal C-Callbacks as parameters. I'm tired of doing sub "myCFuncWithCallback( &callback (uint32, uint32, uint32 --> Pointer) )", when I could do something like "&myFuncCallback( |&callback )" which would form a function callback parameter from the definition of "sub callback" 18:44
lizmat how would that be different from syntactic sugar ?
Xliff Reuse 18:45
I could care less if it's sugar or not.
antononcube Interesting!
lizmat feels like it could be something in a trait ?
Xliff Or even a Signature used in a NativeCall parameter def, which would be the same thing! 18:46
Which would be a great use of the Signature object, IMHO 18:47
m: my $a = :(Int, Int, Int --> Str); $a.^name.say 18:48
camelia Signature
Xliff The latter method only requires a change in NativeCall to parse Signatures in the parameter list as function pointers.
lizmat PRs welcome! 18:49

antononcube @lizmat I find appealing the cross tabulation of contrbutors -vs- content type -vs- content references using your rakudo-weekly posts. 19:19
lizmat glad they are of use :-) 19:20
sometimes I wonder why I bother :-)
antononcube Maybe is just me though. So, I a make larger tables derived for each month, I can issue PR's to articles repository? 19:21
lizmat you mean the CCR ?
antononcube Hmm... actually I do not know. You keep Markdowns of your articles somewhere in GitHub. 19:22
"sometimes I wonder why I bother " -- I am sure a fair amount of people find them useful.
lizmat yeah, I know :-) 19:24

roguerakudev @antononcube / lizmat - I was referring to this issue: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/4970 20:16
niner mentions that passing structs by value "is ver<2> material" and that "a lot of work has already been done" on other features that would be 2.0 material 20:17
But that was 1.5 years ago now and I'm not sure where to keep up with newer developments (if there are any) 20:18
