[Coke] rf: I am guessing it's agressively cached at the moment. 00:35
rf Yeah most likely, it's all good. I am about to make this typegraph look so good :D
[Coke]: Can you take a look at the PR and see if it looks good? I can also make it use the colors for the light theme as well. 00:56

tonyo rf: zef is stricly on the install side, fez is on the distribute side. so, maybe fez can eventually provide hints to zef via META or some configuration file. that's a long time out if ever. fez started as a means to get dists into an ecosystem with strict auth checking. that ecosystem started as a means of mirroring tags from the META listing on github (the original ecosystem that panda was built 02:36
for).
CPAN came along and then we lost the very manual process of looking at author's metas in the META list (by the end that didn't happen much) when new people submitted PRs. i think the next iteration of fez takes over more than packaging and uploading.. doing more than a cursory once over of the META file, adding dependencies (lock files?), handling distribution to different ecosystems or an interface
to do so, no more shelling out tar/pax/git commands for bundling, probably some level of automation (thinking of yarn in this regard, just `fez <some command>` being made available via META/config settings), automated static docs, and probably more things along those lines 02:37
ziprecruiter uses perl in production, i wrote all of the raley's POS log ETL to SAP HANA in perl5 too 02:39

13:44 NemokoschKiwi joined
sena_kun yes, but I had an older rakudo, like 2021 something, so will try with a fresh one 13:44
13:45 NemokoschKiwi left
Nemokosch El_Che: do you know/have something about Nix packages for Rakudo? 13:46
glot.io is apparently pulling language compilers/runtimes from Nix 13:47
rf Wondering how we feel about this for typegraphs on new doc site github.com/Raku/doc-website/pull/34 13:48
Nemokosch yeah just put it to the raku-doc channel as well 13:49
tbh the font is not my favorite but it's already better than it was, regarding the colors 13:50
sena_kun rf, I like it
Nemokosch it's not healthy if I just nag you into changing everything to my taste, lol 13:51
sena_kun yes, on 2022.12 the code is stable and also executes noticeably faster. :) 13:58
14:00 jpn joined
rf I wonder how much the postfix for notation costs in terms of performance 14:00
14:05 jpn left
sena_kun ? 14:13
it should behave exactly the same as plain for ... I hope
what 14:14
why is it like 10 times slower? 14:15
shouldn't it be a sugar?
oh no, lol 14:16
typed 1_500_00 instead of 1_500_000 in the prefix form, so it indeed was 10 times faster. XD
I believe it's a sugar, or it has to be if it's not, so the performance would be the same 14:17
Nemokosch oh didn't notice the look at first 14:22
tbh this looks like World/Actions stuff, RakuAST should probably bring a better way, my 2 cents 14:23
"better" as in more transparent
rf sena_kun: Lol yeah I was hoping it would be identical 14:24
Nemokosch is there something like .^can but for roles rather than classes? 14:30
is there something like .^can but for roles rather than classes? 14:31
sena_kun remind me if can is about calling a method or? 14:32
aha, I see 14:33
the best you can do is maybe grep on `^methods` 14:35
if you want multis, refer to the multis table 14:37
Nemokosch this is for pulling the candidate that would be invoked
maybe I should just pun the role in that case?
maybe I should just pun the role in that case? 14:38
sena_kun that's one option, yes
punning roles is heavy though, so it depends on the use-case you have 14:39
Nemokosch it's simply for inspection. I'm using CoreHackers::Sourcery and it broke down when the first argument of a method lookup was Positional itself 14:42
sena_kun then I'd pun
Nemokosch you know, I'm still a bit worried about this. Positional.isa(Cool) may be different from Positional.new.isa(Cool), in it? 14:47
Actually I'm not certain how the former works under the hood
ugexe m: role Foo { proto method bar(|) {*}; multi method bar($a) { }; multi method bar(:$a) { }; }; say Foo.new.^find_method("bar").candidates 14:52
camelia (bar bar)
Nemokosch m: role Foo { proto method bar(|) {*}; multi method bar($a) { }; multi method bar(:$a) { }; }; say Foo.bar(1) 14:56
does it run like an instance would? It did give Nil
There is some difference between roles and classes but maybe role type instances are like class type instances would? 14:57
15:02 jpn joined 15:05 sena_kun left 15:23 jgaz joined 15:31 cfa joined 15:41 sena_kun joined
cfa 👋 15:52
lizmat there is no such thing as an instantiated role 15:53
what happens is that if you try to instantiate a role, an anonymous class is created in which the role is consumed, and *that* is instantiated 15:54
this process is referred to as "role punning"
Nemokosch what happens if I don't try to instantiate it, just use it like a type object? 15:55
lizmat m: role A { }; dd A.^name
camelia "A"
lizmat m: role A { }; dd A.HOW.^name
camelia "Perl6::Metamodel::ParametricRoleGroupHOW"
lizmat you get a rold
*role :-) 15:56
Nemokosch for context: I'm trying to compare Positional ~~ Cool and Positional.isa(Cool)
lizmat roles are objects like everything in Raku
Nemokosch the former returns True but the False value of the latter seems more suitable
Voldenet `Positional ~~ Cool` is weird but 15:59
m: say (role :: {}) ~~ Cool
camelia True
Voldenet apparently all roles are pretty cool
cfa 🕶️ 16:00
lizmat this feels like some implementation detail seeping out 16:01
16:06 abraxxa joined
Nemokosch yes to all of the messages 😄 16:08
github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/00...070b30077f 16:09
probably this makes them Cool - they "pretend to be Cool"
Voldenet according to docs.raku.org/routine/ACCEPTS#(Mu)...od_ACCEPTS this should probably return False 16:10
since roles are (Mu) 16:11
m: sub use-cool($c) { $c ~~ Cool ?? $c.abs !! -1 }; for (role :: {}, role :: {}.new, "", 42) { CATCH { default { ";/".say } }; $_.&use-cool.say } 16:12

tonyo where can i read about rakuast? 16:20

16:22 razetime joined 16:23 abraxxa left
lizmat closest thing is the #raku-dev channel and the weekly atm 16:25
tonyo ty lizmat 16:29
Voldenet the above makes me wonder whether there exists something like "Type" type 16:31
Nemokosch maybe in the metamodel? 16:33
tonyo Voldenet: in what sense? 16:35
Voldenet so that `sub use-type($t) { $t ~~ Type }; use-type(Any) eqv True; use-type("whatever") eqv False` 16:37
and `my Any $x; use-type($x) eqv True`, because $x has Type assigned to in by default 16:38
s/to in/to it/
m: sub use-type($t) { $t ~~ Any:U }; say use-type(Any) eqv True; say use-type("whatever") eqv False 16:39
camelia True
True
Voldenet This makes sense as long as everyone uses :D on every type 16:40
16:41 Xliff left
tonyo m: "whatever".^mro.say 16:42
camelia ((Str) (Cool) (Any) (Mu))
16:48 jpn left
Voldenet Still, it would be nice to have something that would significate difference between `my $x; use-type($x)` and `use-type(Any)` 16:49
Nemokosch What is the difference?
16:50 jpn joined
Voldenet Currently none, but in the first case I've "forgotten" to assign a value, in the latter the type was passed :) 16:50
16:55 jpn left 16:57 jpn joined 17:02 jpn left
Nemokosch don't we end up with the usual "type objects as missing values" trauma, then? 17:03
I don't necessarily like that but IF we do accept that, the rest follows, no?
Voldenet not necessarily: Any ~~ Any:T, Any ~~ Any:U, (my $x) !~~ Any:T, (my $x) ~~ Any:U 17:12
tonyo i don't mind it too much considering sub sigs can spec :D or :U 17:13
17:13 Bocaneri joined
tonyo m: sub say-x(Int:D $x) { dd $x; }; say-x(50); say-x(Int); 17:13
camelia 50
Parameter '$x' of routine 'say-x' must be an object instance of type
'Int', not a type object of type 'Int'. Did you forget a '.new'?

in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
17:13 Bocaneri is now known as Guest5836
Nemokosch oh this turned completely unreadable on discord... 17:14
Voldenet right, `Any ~~ Any:T, Any ~~ Any:U, (my $x) !~~ Any:T, (my $x) ~~ Any:U`
Nemokosch thank you
I'm not happy that there is both :T and :U, it's a permanent source of confusion in my opinion
Voldenet in any case, proper type parameter could be treated a bit differently than the default value 17:15
Nemokosch sometimes these two are distinguished on the level of syntax

tonyo rf: in what capacity are you interested in enhancing fez 17:49
17:54 jpn_ left 18:00 reportable6 left 18:02 reportable6 joined 18:17 jpn joined
rf tonyo: I'd like zef to validate META6.json files, and also provide better error messages when you run `zef test` 18:46
Nemokosch zef is not the same as fez, though 18:48
tonyo is the author of fez 18:49
ugexe why should zef validate META6.json files instead of an authoring tool? 18:52
in other words: why would an ecosystem allow distributions with invalid meta data?
it only needs to be validated by authoring related actions, so authoring tools would be more appropriate for that 18:53
authoring tools also have the advantage of not needing to be dependency free 18:55
18:59 jpn left
ugexe as for error messages... there isn't really anything zef can add to your test output. you can run `zef test . --debug` to get the full output, but I'm not sure what information it could add 19:00
otherwise the tests themselves need to be more helpful
there is also Test::META or some such that you can add to your own tests to validate your meta data, although again im not sure how fair it is to make all users who download your distribution to validate that file 19:02
i'd have a xt/validate-meta.rakutest that just has like `use Test::META; test-meta-or-whatever()` and invoke via `raku xt/validate-meta-rakutest` (in xt/ so regular users don't end up running it for no reason) 19:03
p6steve ugexe: thanks for you steer on Distribution::Builder:: ... I will look at these docs too ... does it make sense for me to make a simple Distribution::Builder::Rust or Distribution::Builder::Cargo (?) for cargo build 19:06
ugexe i'm not sure... thats a bit different because, unlike with the CMake one which keeps its file within the distribution (I think at least), installing with cargo will install files in other places such that uninstalling a module that used e.g. Distribution::Builder::Cargo wouldn't remove those files when uninstalled 19:12
19:14 jpn joined
ugexe so it could make sense, although i'm skeptical 19:15
rf: as far as META6 validation goes i made a prototype web service that validates via OpenAPI spec (such that other programs could consume that spec and validate with the same rules) - github.com/ugexe/Raku-App--OpenAPI...6Validator 19:16
although note it just validates a few basic things, its just a PoC
but i kind of like that idea because then the spec file can be maintained by the community, and anything with an OpenAPI library could validate it against the same rules as everyone else 19:17
on the other hand i dont know if OpenAPI is capable of expressing some of our more complex situations in an elegant way 19:18
rf Yeah sorry I got confused with zef and fez 19:19
lizmat zef is for download, fez is for upload :-) 19:23
19:27 jpn left
Nemokosch for fez, it sounds desirable to check the META6; I'd hope that would even improve the standardisation of the META6 file 19:28
p6steve well I am less knowledgeable about Rust/Cargo than about Raku/zef ;-), but I think that the story is that cargo build will download and place the dependencies/crates in my dan/src/Cargo.toml into somewhere like <user directory>/.cargo/registry. otherwise, the lib.so will go into dan/target/debug/ ... so would it be feasible, reasonable to have Distribution::Builder::Cargo warn that it will install 3rd party cargo 19:30
crates (with a y/N?) and then only rm rf dan on uninstall maybe?
