mister_flash hi 04:38
What is happening to Perl ???
AlexDaniel mister_flash: seems to be going strong 04:43
mister_flash: perl5 keeps improving and perl6 (now Raku) is getting its own identity :) 04:44
mister_flash So perl6 does not exist yet ? 04:45
perl 5 is the latest perl version ?
AlexDaniel mister_flash: first release of raku (back when it was still called perl6) was in 2015 04:46
mister_flash So perl6 appellation should be ban 04:47
AlexDaniel mister_flash: sorry, what do you mean? 04:48
mister_flash The word "perl6" should be remove everywhere since it causes misunderstandings. 04:50
AlexDaniel mister_flash: yes, correct, that's what we've been doing :)
mister_flash nice. 04:51
AlexDaniel as for perl5, the latest version seems to be v5.30.1 released just a month ago
mister_flash I wonder if Perl will not be deprecated. 04:53
AlexDaniel I don't think perl5 should be deprecated. It is nice and it keeps getting better. 04:54
Raku is a separate language now, yes it is very inspired by perl5 but it doesn't attempt to deprecate perl5
mister_flash but It will shade i 04:56
it
AlexDaniel I hope it will shade other languages equally :) 04:57
mister_flash If it could shade Python it will be more than a dream 04:58
but I no longer dream 04:59
Xliff Yeah. It has a long road ahead if it is to do that.
AlexDaniel well, I personally already use Raku for writing things for which I would have used Python if Raku didn't exist
Xliff Getting the language bindings and attaining some percentage of module parity will be a big help. 05:00
AlexDaniel I understand it's subjective, but it's already the case for me
Xliff: just a single web framework can do wonders :) 05:03
Xliff: Red seems to be on its way so that's one missing piece done
05:05 stoned75 left 05:06 stoned75_ left
Kaiepi >v5.30.1 05:07
shit the book i got to learn it a while ago is way out of date then
AlexDaniel, what are some of the other missing pieces? are they all in the most wanted modules repo? 05:11
Xliff AlexDaniel: Red also has a long way to go.
But hey, Raku isn't even 5, yet.
I think we're doing quite well.
AlexDaniel Xliff: I'm not sure. I think if someone started using Red seriously it'll get ready very quickly 05:12
so IMO it's ready to be used by somebody :)
Xliff AlexDaniel: Still doesn't cover much of the use cases I'd absolutely need it to cover before I'd use it. 05:13
But it's getting there.
He's working on joins, though. That's a big step.
AlexDaniel Kaiepi: I'm not sure, actually. We have Cro, we have Red, someone just needs to actually make a web framework 05:14
Kaiepi Net::Telnet's probably the closest thing i have to a module that could sway people to use raku since my goal is to make it even better than any existing telnet library 05:15
Xliff AlexDaniel: Um. I thought we had a Web framework. I know Cro could be used to build one, but wasn't there another one? 05:16
AlexDaniel Xliff: no
Xliff Bailador? 05:17
AlexDaniel it's dead
Xliff What? When?
AlexDaniel honestly I don't remember it ever not being dead… 05:19
Xliff Hrm. Better to pick that up than re-invent the wheel?
05:20 rindolf joined
Xliff Honestly, I'd need to see a spec for a decent web framework and try my hand at it. 05:20
AlexDaniel maybe I'm wrong about Bailador 05:22
thing is, I tried it in 2017 or maybe earlier
it did the job, a little bit, but otherwise was dead :)
but now I look at the commit history and there was a lot of stuff going on in 2017-2018 05:23
as for reworking Bailador instead of starting from scratch, I don't think it makes sense 05:24
but please feel free to :)
nowadays you'd probably start with cro and red
mister_flash Mojolicious is actually good, someone could port it on Raku and add some things 05:25

Kaiepi what does readonly actually prevent you from doing?
s/readonly/is readonly/ 11:32
the docs say it only applies to the container and not the value itself, but shouldn't $!foo = $foo throw if that's the case? 11:36

Kaiepi oh, it doesn't look like this trait is fully implemented for attributes 11:53
it sets its $!ro attribute when it gets applied, but nothing uses this, not even its own readonly method

Kaiepi wait i was missing `is rw` on the last couple tests 12:15
nvm i forgot about the BEGIN that sets what `is rw` sets 12:16
there aren't any tests for using this trait with attributes in roast either, so ig it just isn't supported rn 12:27

stoned75 I was looking for WHAT method (or whatever) definition. I found a method definition in rakudo/src/core.c/operators.pm6, which leads me to MoarVM/src/6model/bootstrap.c:bootstrap_KnowHOW(). Am I on the right track ? 15:47
15:52 patrickb joined
stoned75 then I wonder why operators.pm6 has a comment saying "XXX Wants to be macros when we have them." when rakudo/docs/ChangeLog says for 'New in 2011.09': "+ .WHAT and friends as macros" 15:52

jmerelo patrickb: I requested write permission to do it by hand, and got burned, first
patrickb: second, we can create an alias, but there's some numbers involved, I think there must be a balance between old and new name, somethign like 30% difference 19:25
patrickb: and then we need 10k karma, but after the last recomputation of karma, I can do it.
patrickb: let me see if I can do it now, but I think I will not be able 19:26
now I remember 19:27
We can't create a synonym for perl6 because it's a "version specific synonim" 19:28
I guess it's like creating a "debian7" synonyn for whatever, like "sid"
Let me try in the other direction
moritz jmerelo: do you know where I can do the twitter thing you mentioned? 19:29
jmerelo patrickb: no, I can't: "Can't create synonym; the 'perl6' tag appears more than 1.25 times the 'raku' tag"
patrickb jmerelo: Ugh... that sounds like it shouldn't apply to our case. The 6 in Perl6 is no version number. Should I try to bug some SO staff about it?
jmerelo So we need to delete many perl6 tags, and add many raku tags
patrickb: that's apparently the only way to do it. 19:30
Grinnz you should be able to get a moderator to do it
moritz ah, rakuadventcalendar.wordpress.com/w...ge=sharing 19:31
done
jmerelo moritz: great. Thanks!
patrickb I think a meta.stackoverflow.com question is the way to go. I'll create a question. 19:34
jmerelo patrickb: good luck 19:35
patrickb: and thanks.
patrickb There already is a respective question: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/3...m-for-raku 19:36
Please up vote!
El_Che favorited and upvoted 19:39
jmerelo patrickb: the thing is, "synonyms" does not quite reflect what StackOverflow does. It's not symmetrical, for instance. 19:40
If we suggest perl6 as a synonym for raku, every time someone tags something with raku, the system will tell them if they are sure about that. 19:41
What we want is raku as a synonym for perl6. Which we can't do due to their "no synonyms for versions" policy.
patrickb jmerelo: I think it's the other way round. 19:42
jmerelo patrickb: hm
El_Che If someone has time, please try the tar.gz relocable install of rakudo. It's a new feature and I think it's a killer one. So please test it: github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/releas...g/v2019.11
github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/releas...bit.tar.gz
(there is also a 32-bit version if someone is running 32-bit linux: github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/releas...jit.tar.gz 19:43
patrickb El_Che: You are doing relocatable builds? - Great! I was just about starting to do those my self. (literally now)
Grinnz jmerelo: a moderator can make it the correct direction regardless, afaik
jmerelo patrickb: here's the list of synonyms and "targets" stackoverflow.com/tags/synonyms 19:44
El_Che patrickb: yes, I started from your notes!
jmerelo patrickb: so what we want is a target raku for the synonym perl6... So right, we need to create perl6 as a synonym for raku. 19:45
In that case, what we need is 1. Delete perl6 tags, add raku tags 2. Suggest perl6 as a synonym 3. Vote. Moderator might be faster, but it's still doable.
So go back to your old questions and retag them, and if you've got the privs, do that to other questions too. 19:46
patrickb jmerelo: I thinkg the meta question I linked above is the way to go. We just need a moderator to have a look at it. It already has the 'support' tag added to it, so I guess upvoting and waiting is all we can do.
jmerelo: Just as you say. :-)
jmerelo patrickb: not all... we can still re-tag questions and then we won't need moderators.
patrickb El_Che: I am rebuilding the rakudo.org website to also offer such precompiled packages as download. Would you be willing to to the builds for that? 19:47
El_Che how many point do we need to be allowed to remove tags? 19:48
patrickb: sure, they are already automated on travis
patrickb Woot!
WRT naming of the files: What I currently have in my rakudo.org changes is rakudo-[version]-[platform]-[architecture].[zip|tar.gz] where platform is [win|macos|linux] and architecture is [x86|x86_64]. 19:50
19:51 rindolf left
patrickb I'd try not to do "32bit" or similar, as that could equally well be arm64 vs arm32 or so. Better be literal about the architecture. 19:51
El_Che: Do you think it's worth it to have the "-nojit" stuff in the name? I'm leaning to the side of "not worth it". 19:53
El_Che from a coherence point of view: no
from a pragmatic yes: it's a warning as "don't be discouraged if it's slow, we know" 19:54
patrickb: the name of the file can change if needed
(I am in the processing of moving the create-pkgs-with-docker part to a different repo (now private) and use that in rakudo-pkg) 19:55
*process
patrickb El_Che: You have a point. Can we decide on a defined format? (The website relies solely on the name to determine what's in it). What about rakudo-[version]-[platform]-[architecture]-[comment].[zip|tar.gz] Where the -[comment] part is optional? 19:56
El_Che works for me
we can do even do without the comment
and point it out in the download page 19:57
I have worked somewhat on the windows variant, but it has been painful
relocatable --> split out pkg creation -> windows -> macox 19:58
1 is done, 2 is written but need finetuning
patrickb El_Che: You even fixed up the raku and raku-debug sym links. :-)
El_Che 3: the situation in windows is bad, so it needs to be done
19:58 jmerelo left
El_Che 4: homebrew has regular rakudo next to rakudo-star, so for homebrew users it's ok for now 19:59
patrickb: yeah, my travis builds keep failing :)
kept
patrickb El_Che: Did the windows instructions in release-guide-binary.md work when done manually? 20:00
El_Che well, no because I was doing them on travis 20:01
the idea was that the builds happen there 20:02
but it's a painful process
I used your notes, though
but things that are easy on linux/mac are *hard* on windows 20:03
finding the right make/nmake
from all the soft installed
patrickb I tried doing it in a windows docker container (Microsoft offers those!). But failed because the small containers miss a lot of plumbing...
El_Che running find / -name "*make.exe" on travis runs to find it :)
do those work on travis or other free-for-foss providers? 20:04
20:05 Tirifto left
El_Che patrickb: This is as far as I got: github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/blob/w...vis.yml#L7 20:05
patrickb El_Che: It requires "Docker for Windows" which requires putting Windows itself in a special mode. In that mode most other virtualization technology doesn't work. So I doubt it it will work on travis.
El_Che patrickb: there is a problem with the right perl to use
patrickb: modules mixed and so on
patrickb: so I need to get some paths right
patrickb: hyperv? 20:06
patrickb hyperv rings a bell. That might be it
El_Che that's a no-no then
travis (beta) and appveyor offer windows support 20:07
I am kind of invested on travis so that's my target nr 1, but others are possible
since I discovered the parallel builds I am happy :)
patrickb I'm all for doing what works. 20:08
El_Che rakudo-pkg does 24 builds for every commit 20:09
so serial building is not an option = after 50min you have an automatic fail
patrickb El_Che: The rakudo builds you linked work on my machine. You saved me the trouble of doing these builds myself (I need them for some work on rakudobrew I'm doing) 20:11
El_Che patrickb++ 20:12
about the format: rakudo-[version]-[platform]-[architecture].[zip|tar.gz]
there is also a revision needed
if we change something besides the release; new version of zef, e.g. 20:13
patrickb What's a revision?
hm
El_Che like packages do:
patrickb like a packaging point release?
El_Che yes
in this case, zef is included 20:14
what if we need to bump zef but rakudo stays on the same version
e.g. a bug or change in the ecosystem
patrickb So that's what the -01 in your filenames was about. 20:15
Makes sense.
El_Che rakudo-2019.11-01-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
is that ok?
patrickb I somehow mourn about small and tidy filenames, but I guess the world is just more complex than I'd like. 20:16
El_Che: Looks good to me.
El_Che it's a tar
it's unpacked to rakudo-2019.11
not the hole name :)
patrickb I've already given it a try. :-) 20:17
Do we expect to have more than 9 packaging point releases? 20:18
20:18 ufobat_ joined
patrickb If no, why the 0? 20:18
El_Che you never know
patrickb We don't do it for normal point releases either. 20:19
El_Che it looks like a revision nr
01
instead of a regular numer
patrickb I don't have a strong opinion on this one.
Let's keep -01 for now. No need for bikeshedding. 20:20
El_Che changed to the new names: github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/blob/w...vis.yml#L7 20:21
oops
github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/releas...g/v2019.11
20:22 ufobat left
El_Che bintray adapted 20:23
patrickb: adapted the build script for the new name, so we don't forget for the next release :) 20:28
patrickb Great!

guifa Is there a way to export an enum in or outside of a package based on an input flag? 21:57
I have two sets of enums that have overlapping values, but that might want to be used together occasionally 21:58
err overlapping keys
I can stick them in a dummy namespace, but then the namespace has to be used
Xliff Hrm... 22:01
Eliminate the overlapping keys from the enums and then use it as a conditional constant you define in a BEGIN block?
guifa ^^
guifa hmmm 22:02
Xliff I can't think of a more elegant way to do it, unfortunately... :/
guifa Yeah, I might just leave them fully namespaced for now and if I can find an elegant way later I will
some of the enums have several hundred values lol 22:03
(I’m rearranging LanguageTag to make the Language/Region/Variant/etc classes inner to the LanguageTag, so I can then have a lot more freedom to play around with the top level Language:: namespace for language codes 22:04

cognomin_ hi, what is the current state of raku js ? 23:46
AlexDaniel cognomin_: it sorta works perl6.github.io/6pad/ 23:50
cognomin_ The compiler is js or just the backend ? 23:55
Learning sveltejs. Wish there was a raku svelte 23:59
