but that was wayy earlier
leont m: sub foo($foo, *@bar) { }; dd $_ for &foo.signature.params.map(*.positional) 11:45
evalable6 Bool::True
Bool::False
leont That false is rather unexpected, is that intentional? 11:46
Also because *%baz is .named (and .slurpy)
lizmat because that's a slurpy ? 11:56
I think it's intentional, because it can slurp many positional arguments ? 11:57
leont I would expect it to be .slurpy and .positional 12:07
Just as a slurpy named argument is .slurpy and .named 12:08
I don't have a strong opinion either way, but this feels inconsistent
lizmat well, I think this boils down to the difference between the number of positionals in a signature, and the arity 12:09

leont lizmat: then why it *%foo .named? 12:33
I mean .named_names is empty 12:34
lizmat suspects you've found a case where jnthn has cut corner, wrt *@a not being positional
*corners
or it is just an oversight 12:35
jnthn Either way, things that process/introspect signatures may well rely on the current inconsistency, so we'd need to be rather careful if we want to change it 12:37
I agree its inconsistent.
leont is filing the issue 12:40
sena_kun El_Che, ping? 12:57
13:15 hankache joined 13:18 mowcat left
rypervenche Altreus: I was using "unit module" and didn't realize it reads the entire file as a block. So I changed it to a module block and put the sub EXPORT outside of that. Fixed the issue. :) 13:21
Altreus mildly pesky because I like the structure that 'unit' gives you 13:22
I'm sure there's a way of declaring EXPORT so that it works, even if you have unit
13:28 abraxxa left, abraxxa1 joined
lizmat Altreus: not atm, afaik 13:28
but if you can get by with just adding "is export" traits, you don't have to worry about that anyway 13:29
13:29 hankache left
Altreus ah yes, true, most of the time it's not a concern 13:31
What namespace does EXPORT have, then, when it's in a file but not a module or some other namespace? 13:32
lizmat GLOBAL::EXPORT I think ?
Altreus presumably it's got special behaviour associated with it so they don't collide
13:35 Altai-man_ joined, sftp joined
jnthn It has to be in UNIT 13:36
And it should be a lexical there
It's not in any package (or not looked for there0
13:36 sena_kun left 13:38 pecastro left
Altreus Raku seems accidentally quite aggressive at failing to report problems 13:40
eh 13:41
Let me try that again without shifting blame
I seem to find it very easy to write Raku code that doesn't report errors
I have to put CATCH { .say } more often than I'd expect
It's probably to do with concurrency, but still... things go missing
jnthn If you're catching an exception, it's getting reported?
Altreus But if I don't catch it, it goes unreported 13:42
For example, I just learned I was getting "Type check failed in assignment to $!timestamp; expected DateTime but got Str ("2020-02-27T13:39:41....)
jnthn Promises that you don't await anywhere, perhaps?
Altreus I don't know... that's part of the issue I think
13:43 aborazmeh joined, aborazmeh left, aborazmeh joined
Altreus I mean, I wouldn't expect it to work at all if I weren't awaiting them 13:43
lizmat Altreus: hoping to see a MRE :-)
jnthn If you put the `start` in sink context, it'll attach a handler that will bring the program down if you don't handle it :)
Altreus But it's entirely possible the error is contained in some other promise that I'm not awaiting
Yeah ... I think my issue is somewhere in not caring whether a promise completes or not 13:44
I'm still a bit shaky so my whole system is dubious :D
jnthn If you don't care, just don't store the Promise anywhere
Maybe we should put a DESTROY in Promise so that if it is broken and never awaited, we warn
Altreus indeed
jnthn A bit like unhandled failures
Altreus I am unclear what's happening 13:45
jnthn That'd maybe at least identify some such issues
Altreus I'm also mid-refactor, so I'm finding these problems on the fly
I'll pause my refactor and try hunting this down
See if I can figure out where the error is going, then see how much of a user error it is to do whatever I'm doing :)
Ultimately it would be nice for the language to complain irrespective of how much of a user error it was though 13:46
so let's see
lizmat jnthn: re "a DESTROY in Promise", wouldn't that be noisy with some of the timeout structures if there was a timeout ?
Altreus If I use await in sink context, what happens to a fail? 13:47
jnthn lizmat: Those don't get broken, though?
lizmat they might get broken without you noticing after the timeout, no ?
jnthn Altreus: Propagtes to the uncaught handler on the scheduler, which by default reports the exception and exits the program with non-zero 13:48
Altreus right well
:P
hol up, I'mma try something
jnthn lizmat: Yeah but...if you used it in an anyof then it *did* get awaited as part of the `anyof` implementation, so it'd not trigger this :)
Altreus I'm pretty sure there's no promise here 13:49
I'll commit my code and show it
github.com/shuppet/p6-api-discord/...d.pm6#L177 13:53
This CATCH is necessary, or I never learn that Message.new failed
None of this appears to be a promise, but it /is/ in a tap 13:54
jnthn $!conn.messages.tap( -> $message 13:55
Do
start react whenever $!conn.messages -> $message
Altreus correct 13:57
but why :)
jnthn Because structured programming :P 13:58
Altreus furthermore, who wants .tap to swallow errors silently? :x
I feel like that's a trap
jnthn I don't think it does in general
They're eventaully meant to cause a sheduler thread to die, and bring the thing down
Altreus But I'm a noob doing stuff from the docs and I got to .tap instead of start react whenever 13:59
Especially this idea of putting it in a promise in sink context ... that seems archaic 14:00
arcane
jnthn The docs probably should guide people away from .tap and more towards react/supply/whenever 14:01
Altreus What would I lose if I didn't have a promise there? 14:04
jnthn Sorry, I'm confused; what promise? 14:05
Altreus the start in `start react whenever` 14:06
jnthn Ah...sorry, I get confused when pepole call start "a promise" :)
react is blocking
start runs it on the pool 14:07
I note your method name even has the word start in it...so this fits quite well :)
Altreus oh of course 14:08
yes, definitely don't want a blocking react
Chrome has not yet realised that docs.raku.org is a search engine 14:23
jnthn: is start not a promise? :x
jnthn Altreus: start will 1) schedule some work on the thread pool, 2) return a Promise that will be kept/broken based on the outcome of that work 14:24
Altreus: So really `start` is a Promise factory, and the thing that it returns is a Promise
Altreus My instinct is to say that a straight-up Promise doesn't do the work until you ask for it 14:25
14:26 aborazmeh left
jnthn That isn't really how it is; a Promise is a synchronization mechanism, and the work is arranged by whatever gave you the Promise 14:27
So Promise.in(1) is scheduling a timer and then returning the Promise, and keeping it when the time elapses.
Altreus ... right, it's almost identical to Future in that regard 14:28
The concepts are really orthogonal
jnthn Yeah, in Raku we don't really have a distinct word for "a Promise that is backed by some running code" 14:30
Altreus once you realise the separation it's obvious 14:31
Today's internet is stressing me out 14:33
Try to type and it's cut me off again
I was going to ask, on a separate tangent, the best way of accepting a Str in a constructor to populate a DateTime property
I feel like I don't want to override BUILD, but TWEAK is too late
I could monkey type DateTime 14:35
is that allowed?
jnthn Well, with the usual constraint that if two modules do it, your precomp ends here.
But...feels like overkill 14:36
Why is TWEAK too late?
Altreus cos the object is constructed already, no?
Did I misunderstand?
lizmat you can still modify the object, can't you? 14:37
to make it right?
jnthn Well, TWEAK is the last step in the construction
Altreus But it won't accept a Str in the attribute
so I figure it will already have failed 14:38
TIAS
lizmat ah, yes, if it is like that, yes
leont Is there a cute trick to invert an array of arrays?
moritz leont: invert? like, transpose?
m: my @a = ['a', 'b', 'c'], [1, 2, 3], ['x', 'y', 'z']; say [Z] @a 14:39
evalable6 ((a 1 x) (b 2 y) (c 3 z))
leont Yeah, that was the word I was looking for, and I figured it had to be easy :-)
Altreus can I override BUILD, edit %args, and then call ... samewith?
leont Is there a way to make that work with lists that aren't all equally long? Or should I just push Any's in there? 14:41
jnthn Altreus: I'd just override `new` and tweak the arg there and then call .bless 14:42
lizmat Altreus: make your own "new" method, then call self.bless
leont (actually, pushing Any is a terrible idea in my case)
lizmat wow, jnthn beat me :-)
Altreus OK - This is stuff I would like to be easier, though :) 14:43
coercion in general bth 14:44
tbh
jnthn Well, ultimately `has Date() $.foo`
Altreus I can use DateTime() in a ... oh
leont Ah, roundrobin is what I want
jnthn Though it's NYI
Altreus NYI?
jnthn Not Yet Implemented
Altreus oh!
._.
jnthn At one point it was also really hard to implement
Though my last big refactor of assignment makes it easier to do without totally hosing performance of assignment generally :) 14:45
Altreus So I suppose Str has no method DateTime 14:46
can it?
jnthn Better would be for DateTime to implement CALL-ME accepting Str 14:47
Though...really the way this is meant to work is it should call DateTime.new($str)
Altreus seems good too, although that is not documented in the bit about coercion
lizmat jnthn: what would DateTime.CALL-ME(Str:D $) give ? 14:48
DateTime($str) support ?
hmmm...
Altreus Is there a design reason why we have to specify that coercion should happen, by adding postfix ()? 14:49
as opposed to presumably technical reasons
lizmat postfix () is just short for (Any)
as in, specifying the types you will accept
Altreus I guess I'm asking if there's a language-design reason why that's not the default assumption 14:50
as in, omitting () also means (Any)
lizmat omitting will not coerce
Altreus I know - I'm asking why
lizmat because we don't want it to be like Perl where all sorts of coercions happen without you noticing it ? 14:51
and thereby losing the benefits of gradual typing ?
Altreus Ah, deeper reasons :)
is this the NYI error? :) "Coercion DateTime(Any) is insufficiently type-like to qualify a variable" 14:54
moritz yes, I think so
Altreus cool, I'll code around it 14:55
