guifa alright, yay I have some color in Pretty::RAST. Unfortunately, Comma's terminal gobbles up all the colored text 00:32
japhb wonders what terminal it's emulating
guifa Not sure. But it's weird that IntelliJ hasn't added basic color support — I tried searching online and I'm definitely not the only one that's missing color output 00:33

whatnext do promises/threads leak - does anyone know? :) 12:06
12:07 reportable6 left
lizmat that's a real existential question :-) 12:09
I can only say: if you can produce a gist that shows memory leakage in your opinion, people could have a look at that 12:10
afaik, there aren't many known leaks anymore
whatnext ok that's good news
however I definitely have one 12:11
I wonder if there are any basic safeguards I should be doing but am missing?
lizmat we can't say without you showing any code :-) 12:12
whatnext  ok I have put the method which the api is calling in a gist here:# gist.github.com/whatnext/a33b7bff8...3a3daa6377 12:19
not sure how much sense its going to make out of context mind you :D 12:20
I tried both with `start` and `Thread.start` - it does the same thing 12:23
tbrowder hi, rakuuns! 12:37
i'm working on a module needing textual user input to describe detailed 2d drawings and trying to decide whether to use a custom design (line oriented with tags) or json, toml, or some other well-known system. any opinions? 12:47
the module is already published but i'm adding more capability: Draw2D::Furniture 12:49
12:54 whatnext left
tbrowder the new, yet p-unpublished version already can draw basic rectangular room outlines, but the follow-on version will be able to draw any kind of 2d line segment (and maybe 3d drawings after that) 12:56
as usual, and mentioned by someone cited by lizmat recently, my modules are usually for my needsinput ideas 12:57
*needs but someone else may find a use for them 12:58
lizmat whatnext: nothing obvious shows in that code, but it definitely doesn't show the whole story 12:59
tellable6 lizmat, I'll pass your message to whatnext

whatnext [Coke] by "builtins" do you mean e.g. `start` ? 15:38
I'm not even sure it's a memory leak tbh - I just got "segmentation fault"
something is definitely not happy 15:39
15:41 vrurg left
japhb whatnext: segfaults definitely should not happen (barring forcing one via NativeCall, of course) 15:41
15:47 vrurg joined
vrurg guifa__: BTW, I quick-looked into the module. Why don't you use a Term* module to colorize the output? 15:48

guifa__ vrurg: meh, I like not depending on things. but yeah, long term I should probably go that route 16:26
but also, didn't I say don't peak at my code? hahahaha 16:27
it's such an embarassing mess right now
[Coke] ~Guest46@ec2-54-80-24-206.compute-1.amazonaws.com in case they're gone by the time someone with admin privs shows up 16:29
16:31 whatnext joined
whatnext japhb for me, impossible is nothing! ;) 16:31
at least when it comes to doing something undesirable 16:32
how about this one: "longjmp causes uninitialized stack frame" - when using Inline::Perl5 (? I'm guessing)
guifa__ but I'll just be updating the prettifier as I end up hitting more stuff, bu for my formatters I think basic if/then, method and infix calls, and string concats will be the bulk of what I use 16:35
whatnext I added a comment to my gist here: gist.github.com/whatnext/a33b7bff8...3a3daa6377
i guess it's not looking like a memory leak, but something else 16:36
`can't locate object method "DESTROY" via package "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook"` seems to be the only thing in English :D - we are using this module from Perl 5 using `Inline::Perl5`. Suggestions anyone? :) 16:39
lizmat you might want to create an Inline::Perl5 issue
whatnext: OOC what version of Rakudo / Inline::Perl5 are you using ? 17:13
whatnext $ raku --version 17:14
Welcome to 𝐑𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐝𝐨™ v2021.09.
Implementing the 𝐑𝐚𝐤𝐮™ programming language v6.d.
Built on MoarVM version 2021.09.
lizmat then you might want to upgrade to 2021.12 and the latest version of Inline::Perl5 17:15
a lot of issues with NativeCall and Inline::Perl5 were solved in that period
whatnext - Identity: Inline::Perl5:ver<0.58>:auth<github:niner>
ah really 17:16
ok thanks that could be useful

El_Che are we forced to do that kind of silliness of is it cargo cult? 17:43
$ ruby -v 17:44
ruby 2.7.4p191 (2021-07-07 revision a21a3b7d23) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
$ go version
go version go1.17.3 linux/amd64
I don't think google is giving up on trademarks and copyrights 17:45
gfldex If you don't use a R it can become void in many countries.
El_Che so google just lost their trademark after I ran the command?
gfldex No, they use their trademark in so many places, that they don't have to for go. 17:46
El_Che so, put the trademark somewhere in a dark corner on the site and problem solved
tonyo .tell tbrowder i can work on a tut for ya on sunday night 17:49
tellable6 tonyo, I'll pass your message to tbrowder
whatnext I am sure you all will be excited to learn I may have found a solution 17:57
that is for my particular case, and meaning it now seems to work but without knowing exactly why
I explicitly set the container for the `Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook` object to Nil after the extraction 17:59
gfldex Magic! \o/
whatnext and apparently I need to use `Thread.start`. If I use `start` I still get an error
pretty weird - but whatever :D
japhb El_Che: Trademarks must be actively defended in order to remain valid. Hiding that you have one seems unlikely to count. Also, both the distinctive font (Unicode block actually, but it *looks* like a different font) and the TM/R were needed when we got the EU trademark registration. 18:02
El_Che so, ruby and go lost their trademark?
gfldex did they ever have one? 18:03
japhb El_Che: They're probably just protecting them in a different place, that's all. Like on their main website.
El_Che japhb: yes, that's my point
it looks more applicable there than in the cli
japhb El_Che: And I'm saying the reason that we did that is because the international trademark lawyers told us to.
We didn't just do it because we felt like it. 18:04
El_Che yes, I get that
I wonder why other more popular languages don't do it
there is a lot more money to rip off stealing the go or ruby trademark
ugexe to me it feels like a lawyer said that because its easiest to assume that to be correct, instead of verifying something else would work
japhb Possible, sure. 18:05
Interestingly `gcc --version` decides to be explicit about copyright and warranty, rather than trademark
TIL that `python -v` is rather different than `python --version` 18:07
El_Che perl -v does have a copyright notice and no trademark 18:08
18:08 reportable6 left, guifa__ left
lizmat because perl doesn't have a trademark, and raku does 18:08
El_Che really? 18:09
18:10 reportable6 joined
El_Che beside the chuckle every time I see it, I'don't care that much. Everything time I see TM is think of people that shout in social media they are famous. :P 18:11
18:11 Curiosa joined
El_Che python seems to be trademarked as well 18:12
(and no TM in the cli)
japhb Hmmm, ruby has a --copyright option.
El_Che well, that looks like a sane approach to me 18:13
yay for ruby
japhb: good catch
damn, this didn't work: gcc --copyleft 18:14
:)
Nemokosch Honestly, for me, the whole Raku™️ rather hints that Raku is good with Unicode 18:16
El_Che Nemokosch#9980: that was cool 5 years ago, no less so :) 18:17
now
Nemokosch of course you could just drop the ™️ part but frankly it would still remain flamboyant
Well, that's because you have seen it for 5 years 😛
El_Che true :)
Nemokosch the world hasn't moved forward that much in this regard in 5 years 18:18
El_Che yeah, buts langs did catch up
-s
japhb Not very many of them. 18:19
El_Che do you encounter utf8 problems often in other languages?
Nemokosch not really tbh
japhb El_Che: Not a huge number of languages understand the difference between a codepoint and a grapheme. 18:20
El_Che I took it they did it by design 18:21
Nemokosch Emoji problems, for sure
