I've not had bad luck lately with parrot installs. |
00:00 |
TimToady |
in fact, I always install parrot. |
00:01 |
PerlJam |
I used to do that until things broke |
00:01 |
TimToady |
this is the first time I've been burned by pugs install though... |
00:01 |
TimToady |
like I say, my parrot install hasn't broken for a couple months. |
00:02 |
TimToady |
but maybe that's because I have my PARROT_PATH set right |
00:03 |
TimToady |
actually, as I recall, the problem used to be that pugs was believing the installed parrot over the PARROT_PATH parrot. |

00:04 |
svnbot6 |
r10312 | gaal++ | next time when things change the error message can be much better. |
00:05 |

in fact the next time, the error will be intercepted and the stale file regenned on the fly. Or that's the plan. |

particle_: same thing as when ~~ matches. !~ only changes the boolean sense |
00:09 |
particle_ |
okay. |
00:09 |
TimToady |
just means the Match object shows up in the else instead of the then... |

00:18 |
audreyt |
TimToady: re f(x=>1) named and f('x'=>1) pair, I like that even more |
00:18 |
audreyt |
it follows that f(1=>2) also not named. |

TimToady: also, there is a student in SoC who wants to hack MAD->p6, are you willing to mentor him (i.e. evaluate his progress and provide feedback)? |
00:19 |
audreyt |
if yes, signup is at http://code.google.com/soc/mentor_home.html |

hmm, I'm a lousy mentor... |

TimToady |
okay, I get the feeling you like it. :) |
00:36 |
TimToady |
I do too. :) |
00:37 |
TimToady |
I take it you're still trying to get used to [,]... |
00:37 |
audreyt |
nope, that's fine |
00:37 |
audreyt |
it has to be treated specially |
00:37 |
audreyt |
just like * did |
00:37 |
audreyt |
because of arglist delaying |
00:38 |
TimToady |
the one lossage is that [,] can't really trigger a $capture |
00:38 |
audreyt |
so I'll just take it as a differently spelled * |
00:38 |
TimToady |
but I'm thinking =$capture works maybe |
00:38 |
audreyt |
you mean ([,]$capture) |
00:38 |
audreyt |
wouldn't work? |
00:39 |
TimToady |
if it's just a list, $capture doesn't interpolate. |
00:39 |
audreyt |
[,]%hash fails too, right? |
00:39 |
audreyt |
(instead of interp'ing to named, it'd take pairs) |
00:39 |
TimToady |
Well, %hash makes pairs... |
00:39 |
audreyt |
but *%hash worked because it's unary |
00:39 |
audreyt |
[,] is listop |
00:39 |
TimToady |
right. |
00:39 |
audreyt |
and so can't tell %hash apart from $pair |
00:40 |
audreyt |
whilst a unary op can. |
00:40 |
TimToady |
could just force it. |
00:40 |
audreyt |
[,]%hash1, %hash2 |
00:41 |
audreyt |
you mean, force all pairs back into named? |
00:41 |
audreyt |
or force as in using MMD? |
00:41 |
TimToady |
one level's worth, just like * did |
00:41 |
audreyt |
so you mean, if you give [,] one arg |
00:41 |
audreyt |
then it behaves like old * |
00:41 |
audreyt |
if you give it two |
00:42 |
audreyt |
does it propagate? |
00:42 |
audreyt |
[,] %h1, %h2 |
00:42 |
audreyt |
does that make both into nameds? |
00:42 |
TimToady |
it's not really a force for %hash1, %hash2 because a reduction is defined syntactically. |
00:42 |
TimToady |
yes, to do just one is [,](%h1), %h2 |
00:42 |
audreyt |
but not [,] (%h1), %h2 |
00:43 |
TimToady |
so each pair is "comma separated" at the top level. |
00:43 |
TimToady |
which makes it named |
00:43 |
TimToady |
presumably not. |
00:43 |
audreyt |
we had *$hash and *%hash do the same thing |
00:43 |
TimToady |
as I say, it's just $capture that doesn't naturally continue to work. |
00:43 |
audreyt |
persumably we'd need to write [,] %$hash now? |
00:43 |
|
FurnaceBoy joined perl6 |
00:43 |
TimToady |
presumably. |
00:44 |
TimToady |
and =$capture, perhaps |
00:44 |
TimToady |
or @$capture, to just get the @ etc. |
00:44 |
audreyt |
I'm fine w/ that |
00:44 |
TimToady |
[,] $$capture, @$capture, %$capture; |
00:45 |
audreyt |
I'm tempted to write *$capture to stand for "whatever caster"" ;) |
00:45 |
TimToady |
anyway, it really was seeming more and more like we needed to de-borrow * from Ruby. |
00:45 |
audreyt |
but nah. it's a term. |
00:45 |
audreyt |
sure |
00:46 |
audreyt |
hm. |
00:46 |
TimToady |
the deref meme was just wrong for *. now we're consistently globby with it. |
00:46 |
audreyt |
my $capture = \( [,] want() ); |
00:47 |
audreyt |
my @a := =$capture; |
00:47 |
audreyt |
my $b := =$capture; |
00:47 |
TimToady |
shades of typeglobs... |
00:47 |
audreyt |
surely want() is not evaluated twice? |
00:48 |
audreyt |
trying to avoid typeglob shades :) |
00:48 |
TimToady |
I would hope it would only evaluate once. |
00:48 |
audreyt |
but more importantly, in capture construction, does want() just get the current context even when it's not part of binding? |
00:49 |
TimToady |
it's still logically flattened, whether it's lazy or not. |
00:50 |
TimToady |
hmm. that's why my --> Dog: conjecture said it's probably better to return an object that decides. |
00:52 |
audreyt |
I agree, but that is an argument against builtins that checks want() and do different things |
00:52 |
audreyt |
currently: |
00:52 |
TimToady |
yes, want is a weird inside out delayed dispatch, or something. |
00:53 |
audreyt |
reverse('1', '2'); # '21' on scalar context, ('2', '1') on list |
00:53 |
TimToady |
a parallel gather/take like thing |
00:53 |
audreyt |
slurp('/etc/passwd'); # whole file on scalar, list of lines on list |
00:53 |
TimToady |
if we had a language without side effects, it wouldn't be a problem. |
00:53 |
audreyt |
readdir('/etc'); # one entry on scalar, all entries on list |
00:53 |
audreyt |
readline(); # ditto |
00:54 |
audreyt |
splice(@x, 0, 4); # all spliced on list, but _last_ item on scalar |
00:54 |
audreyt |
$str ~~ rx/.../; # positional captures on list, Match object on scalar |
00:54 |
audreyt |
that's all, I think |
00:54 |
TimToady |
I think want has to be an "observation" in the Copenhagen interpetion |
00:55 |
audreyt |
reverse() doesn't involve side effect |
00:55 |
TimToady |
interpretation, even |
00:55 |
audreyt |
all others does |
00:55 |
audreyt |
and hence can't be delayed |
00:55 |
audreyt |
splice's side effect is always the same regardless of context |
00:56 |
audreyt |
so is poetntially safe |
00:56 |
audreyt |
all others are unsafe. |
00:56 |
audreyt |
(well, it can be argued that slurp()'s is also the same) |
00:56 |
TimToady |
can want know whether to collapse the wavefunction or not? |
00:57 |
audreyt |
it can know if it's not-yet-bound |
00:57 |
audreyt |
by passing in a Whatever context |
00:57 |
audreyt |
but that doesn't help readline() and readdir() |
00:57 |
audreyt |
which needs to do different things |
00:57 |
audreyt |
and has to do it now |
00:57 |
TimToady |
It's like there needs to be a negotiotion. |
00:58 |
TimToady |
how lazy do you want me vs how lazy can I be |
00:58 |
audreyt |
right |
00:58 |
TimToady |
gee, sounds a lot like type inferencing... |
00:58 |
audreyt |
it is a special kind of inferencing |
00:58 |
audreyt |
return-type inferencing |
00:58 |
audreyt |
but I'm wondering if we need all that mechanism, for readdir() and readline() |
00:59 |
audreyt |
instead of just saying that List context is just casting whatever returned into a List |
00:59 |
audreyt |
and vice versa |
00:59 |
audreyt |
which precludes them doing different things |
01:00 |
audreyt |
but that only affects <reverse readdir readline splice> |
01:00 |
TimToady |
as far as I'm concerned, it could all just fall under the rule "if we don't know, it's list context". |
01:02 |
audreyt |
I wonder if |
01:02 |
audreyt |
reverse('x', 'y') |
01:02 |
audreyt |
can _always_ reverse the list |
01:02 |
audreyt |
regarddless of context |
01:02 |
audreyt |
and reverse('xy') would always just reverse the string |
01:02 |
audreyt |
as it's just "xy".reverse |
01:03 |
TimToady |
interesting fallout from the 1-arg rule... |
01:03 |
audreyt |
i.e. have it decided by arguments, not by context |
01:03 |
TimToady |
reverse(@onearg) |
01:04 |
audreyt |
@onearg is an Array |
01:04 |
audreyt |
goes to Array.reverse |
01:04 |
audreyt |
performs list reverse |
01:04 |
TimToady |
so we only get into trouble with reverse([,] @onearg) |
01:05 |
audreyt |
it's... not troublesome, I think |
01:05 |
TimToady |
I don't plan to lose much sleep over it... |
01:05 |
audreyt |
and also even that can be made to work. |
01:05 |
audreyt |
because [,] puts it to pos, not inv |
01:05 |
audreyt |
it is still a list. |
01:05 |
audreyt |
so still list-reversed. |
01:06 |

?eval ~(reverse 1,2,3) |
01:06 |
|
evalbot_10311 is now known as evalbot_10314 |
01:06 |
TimToady |
because foo($x) really means foo([,] $(\$x)) |
01:06 |
evalbot_10314 |

01:06 |
audreyt |
yes. |

what's your opinion of the triangulation metaoperator? |
01:08 |
audreyt |
it's... cute |
01:08 |
TimToady |
er... |
01:09 |
audreyt |
[[+]] 1,2,3 |
01:09 |
audreyt |
I wonder if that looks better |
01:09 |
TimToady |
I had that first. |
01:10 |
audreyt |
ok, how about [(+)] |
01:10 |
TimToady |
but...there's something to be said for cute... |
01:10 |
audreyt |
just trying to reuse list-producer metaphor instead of backslash-metaphor |
01:10 |
TimToady |
looks too much like a reduce on the (+) operator |
01:10 |
audreyt |
but it is |
01:10 |
audreyt |
a reduce on the (+) operator |
01:10 |
audreyt |
just a "special" scan reduce ;) |
01:11 |
TimToady |
is (+) a set operator? |
01:11 |
audreyt |
oh no... |
01:11 |
audreyt |
([+]) 1, 2, 3 |
01:11 |
audreyt |
can be made to work, but too yucky |
01:11 |
audreyt |
[/+\] |
01:11 |
audreyt |
I guess I'll livewith [\+]. |
01:11 |
TimToady |
also tried [+]\ and [+\ |
01:12 |
audreyt |
if you have a infix:<\+>, well, too bad |
01:12 |
TimToady |
also played with |\ briefly. |
01:12 |
TimToady |
I like that [\ is assymetrical |
01:12 |
audreyt |
nod. |
01:12 |
TimToady |
[/+\] would have to start in the middle. :) |
01:13 |
TimToady |
yes, but at least I doctored it so that [\+] gives you the normal |
01:13 |
svnbot6 |
r10315 | audreyt++ | * Prim.List: [+] 1,2,3 is again fold, not scan. |
01:13 |
TimToady |
reduce rather than the scan |
01:14 |
audreyt |
so, in sigs |
01:14 |
audreyt |
is (*@x) still slurpy? |
01:14 |
audreyt |
the syntax only changes on the calling end? |
01:14 |
TimToady |
correct. |
01:14 |
TimToady |
slurpy is a manifestation of the globby meme |
01:15 |
TimToady |
"pattern match a bunch of things here". |
01:16 |
TimToady |
and can't be confused with GLOBAL:: because we never declare globals in sigs. |

01:43 |
audreyt |

01:43 |
audreyt |
so that's the correct way |
01:44 |
audreyt |
not sure how the second line works. |
01:44 |
audreyt |
if it works at all |
01:44 |
TimToady |
though in the particular case of 1,2,3 it doesn't matter whether they're in or out |
01:44 |
audreyt |
shouldn't it also need a |

TimToady |
I don't expect a %() would hurt there. |
01:45 |
audreyt |
but without %(), I can't see it working |
01:45 |
TimToady |
=$pair possibly. |
01:45 |
audreyt |
'when'=>'now' is not different from $pair |
01:45 |
audreyt |
doit [,] %$pair,1,2,3; # always a named arg |
01:45 |
audreyt |
doit [,] %(get_pair()),1,2,3; # always a named arg |
01:45 |
audreyt |
doit [,] %('when' => 'now'),1,2,3; # always a named arg |
01:45 |

well, eventually [,]= becomes the next * |

is that an assignment operator? |

audreyt |
$+PATH = 'x' |
01:47 |
TimToady |
there's a nice consistency to the % there. |
01:47 |
audreyt |
@+PATH = (1,2,3) ? |
01:48 |
TimToady |
It seems like a good plan, except for the fact that different listy env vars are going to use different delimiters... |
01:48 |
|
Ymmv joined perl6 |

which is why maybe it's not neccessarily a good plan... |
01:49 |
audreyt |
(also, mutable $+PATH in general is unspecced) |
01:49 |
audreyt |
but I guess it better be mutable |
01:49 |
audreyt |
also, not sure what %+PATH even means :) |
01:49 |
audreyt |
maybe the ENV hash only declares $+PATH, and @+PATH is a lookup failure. |

what is the negation of ===? |
02:20 |
audreyt |
not ($a === $b) ? |
02:20 |
TimToady |
not( $a === $b ) |
02:21 |
audreyt |
is [=]() nonsensical of undef? |
02:21 |
audreyt |
(same goes for [:=]) |
02:21 |
TimToady |
I suppose. |
02:22 |
audreyt |
[+=] $a, $b, $c; # sane, then |
02:23 |
TimToady |
Then theres [\+=] $a, $b, $c |
02:23 |
audreyt |
ok. thanks for getting this normalizationg ([,] [=] [;]) in |
02:24 |
audreyt |
before au[frank|dreyt] burned too much time on the */** form... |
02:24 |
audreyt |
it's quite a bit easier to explain, the current way. |
02:24 |
TimToady |
It just suddenly hit me that we already had * staring us in the face. |
02:24 |
audreyt |
easiest to miss when it's too close... |
02:24 |
TimToady |
I think so. Damian likes it. |
02:24 |
audreyt |
I like it as long as we use [,] %() consistently :) |
02:25 |
audreyt |
this actually means [,] cannot introduce new invocants |
02:25 |
audreyt |
can't tell between [,] $$x and [,] $x |
02:25 |
audreyt |
for some reason, this still doesn't bother me, if we keep =$x. |
02:26 |
audreyt |
=$cap, that is |
02:26 |
audreyt |
that is, we treat = as almost a sigil |
02:26 |
audreyt |
for the special purpose of the [,] zone |
02:26 |
audreyt |
it feels a bit icky |
02:27 |
TimToady |
'course it was the pain of rewriting all the *@foo to make * "almost a sigil" that drove me over the edge to whacking it... |
02:27 |
audreyt |
$$cap.call([,] @$cap, %$cap); |
02:27 |
audreyt |
what do you feel about imposing this on users? |
02:28 |
audreyt |
call([,] =$cap) # because this takes a special-case of prefix:<=> |
02:28 |
TimToady |
as long as there's a way to do it, we can look at slicker ways to do it later. |
02:28 |
audreyt |
however, we can workaround it by saying any function calls in [,] zone |
02:28 |
audreyt |
gets all its full Capture-return exploded |
02:29 |
audreyt |
sub func {return(1: 2, x=>3)}; \([,] func()); |
02:29 |
TimToady |
yes. |
02:29 |
audreyt |
and then it falls out from that |
02:29 |
audreyt |
ok, that feels much clearner :) |
02:29 |
TimToady |
do extra invocants turn into positionals or blow up? |
02:30 |
audreyt |
yes. |
02:30 |
audreyt |
(but I prefer the latter) |
02:30 |
audreyt |
but well hm |
02:30 |
TimToady |
clearner++ |
02:30 |
audreyt |
the latter can't work, can it |
02:30 |
audreyt |
has to be the former |
02:30 |
audreyt |
the former, then. |
02:30 |
audreyt |
extra invs become positionals |
02:30 |
audreyt |
and we can use your Capture layout |
02:31 |
TimToady |
kinda goes back to the idea that the invocant is the honorary head of the positionals... |
02:31 |
audreyt |
where the inv is just a bit |
02:31 |
audreyt |
RAID again... |
02:31 |
TimToady |
yeah. |
02:31 |
audreyt |
ok. can you document those two points? |
02:31 |
audreyt |
I feel together they can make [,] fly stably |
02:32 |
audreyt |
(capture-explosion and inv-turns-into-pos-under-explosion) |
02:32 |
TimToady |
I've been thinking of invocants in Captures as kind of a search strategy, where different types from the type bag |
02:32 |
TimToady |
are more specific. |
02:32 |
TimToady |
and the head of @ is just the most generic place to look for an invocant. |
02:32 |
audreyt |
surprisingly, I parsed that line with no difficulty and even agree with it :) |
02:33 |
TimToady |
it took me a while to compose it... |

04:38 |
stevan |
aufrank: I hope Perl 6 will consider some of the role additions I have made |
04:38 |
aufrank |
I think excludes sounds really useful |
04:38 |
aufrank |
that said, I've never programmed with roles at all, so it's just gut feeling at this point |
04:38 |
stevan |
yeah me too, stole that from Fortress :) |
04:38 |
aufrank |
I haven't really done the heavy lifting of thinking up use cases ;) |
04:39 |
stevan |
well one of the main issues with role composition is that easy things are easy |
04:39 |
stevan |
but complex things can get really hairy really fast |
04:40 |
stevan |
Moose still hasn't worked out the full details of how attributes and roles interact |
04:40 |
stevan |
when i mentioned to the guys who wrote the original Traits paper that we were experimenting with that |
04:40 |
stevan |
they said "good luck, let us know how it works out" :) |
04:41 |
stevan |
its a potentially very thorny feature |
04:41 |
aufrank |
attributes are traits? |
04:42 |
aufrank |
sub foo is fancy does dance_moves { ... } |
04:42 |
aufrank |
fancy is the attribute, dance_moves is a role? |
04:42 |
stevan |
aufrank: no, class-attributes/instance-slots |
04:42 |
aufrank |
oh oh |
04:43 |
stevan |
role Foo { has $.bar; } role Bar { has $.bar; } role FooBar { does Bar; does Foo; } |
04:43 |
stevan |
what should happen there |
04:43 |
stevan |
conflict is the most obvious |
04:43 |
aufrank |
role foo { has $.a } role bar { has $.a } sub foo does foo does bar { say $.a } |
04:44 |
stevan |
right now in Moose, any attr name conflict blows up right away |
04:44 |
stevan |
however, this is only because we closely associate instance slot names and attribute names |
04:44 |
stevan |
if we decoupled that, it would not be an issue |
04:44 |
aufrank |
can you be explicit with $::foo<a> or something> |
04:44 |
aufrank |
? |
04:44 |
stevan |
exactly |
04:45 |
aufrank |
(was I close on syntax?) |
04:45 |
stevan |
but it gets messy the more details you add to the use case |
04:45 |
stevan |
fairly close I think,.. I have been outta the loop myself :) |
04:45 |
aufrank |
S12 is one of the one's that I'm not sure I've ever been all the way through... |
04:46 |
stevan |
:) |
04:46 |
stevan |
it's a dense one thats for sure |
04:49 |
aufrank |
stevan: are instance slot names and attribute names separated in ruby? |
04:49 |
aufrank |
one of the two is @@, I think |
04:49 |
PerlJam |
stevan: I'm not sure if I got this from perl6 or from the traits paper or what, but isn't part of the compositional nature of roles that once composed, they lose their identity as separate entities? |
04:50 |
PerlJam |
(ergo, the "right" thing to do in conflict is to blow up) |
04:53 |
stevan |
aufrank: my ruby-fu is fairly weak these days :) |
04:53 |
stevan |
aufrank: IIRC, @foo is an instance variable, and @@foo is a class variable |
04:53 |
aufrank |
mine too, or I wouldn't be asking ;) |
04:53 |
aufrank |
I'm just trying to get a sense of what that decoupling would bring with it |
04:54 |
aufrank |
is it just losing some of the $.a and $!b sugar in class declarations? |
04:54 |
stevan |
PerlJam: once roles are combined, they become basically just an anon-role which is simply a composite of the roles with all mixing rules and conflict stuff applied |
04:55 |
stevan |
aufrank: decoupling attr names from how they are stored just allows the meta-level to get more funky :) |
04:55 |
stevan |
I am not sure if there is any true value though |
04:56 |
aufrank |
maybe I'll wait til you draw a picture ;) |
04:56 |
PerlJam |
Why do I get the feeling that pelr6 needs another special block for composition-time actions? I don't know what you'd call it though, BEGIN, INIT, CHECK, and ... COMP? COMPOSE? hmm |
04:57 |
PerlJam |
I guess it would be a special kind of FIRST though |
04:58 |
stevan |
aufrank: :) |
04:58 |
PerlJam |
yeah, stevan++ for drawing good pictures :) |
04:59 |
stevan |
PerlJam: one of the "experiments" in Moose is that of not trying to do everything at compile time |
04:59 |
* stevan |
knew those years at Art School didn't go to waste :) |
04:59 |
PerlJam |
so moose has lazy conflict resolution? |
05:00 |
stevan |
PerlJam: Moose is very lazy |
05:01 |
PerlJam |
one of these days I'll have to find time to play with moose. I saw your journal entry just a few minutes ago, but it only percolated up to a musing "neat" and not quite all the way to "I should play with this now" |

I guess one would disambiguate with [...]: rule { [subrule?]subrule2 } or rule { subrule[?subrule2] } |
13:28 |
pmurias |
IMHO something else should be used for non-capture instead of ? in the <> less mode |
13:28 |
garth |
rule { subrule1 subrule2 } vs. token { abc } vs. regex { abc } -- one more way to differentiate rules from tokens etc. |
13:28 |
pmichaud |
except I would think that token should be like rule and less like regex |
13:29 |
audreyt |
what pmichaud said. |
13:29 |
pmichaud |
i.e., rule { subrule1 subrule2 }, token { subrule1 subrule2 } vs regex { abc } |
13:29 |
pmichaud |
pmurias: at one point we had <<...>> as capturing subrule and <...> as non-capturing |
13:30 |
pmichaud |
another way to do a non-capturing rule is + ... <subrule> captures, <+subrule> doesn't |
13:31 |

(but that seems to give an odd interpretation to '+') |

i.e. is Code more like Array/Hash or is it more like Scalar. |

pmichaud |
I've been thinking of it like scalar |
13:33 |
pmichaud |
but hadn't thought about it deeply |

I think it has something to do whether assigning into &f should work in general |

audreyt |
&*say = ... |
13:34 |
audreyt |
then it should init to undef, sure |
13:35 |
audreyt |
but maybe &*say is bound to that name, not assigned into it in the first place |
13:36 |
audreyt |
question is, is the default "my &f" a Code, or a Scalar with Code constraint. |
13:37 |
audreyt |
Pugs currently has the latter |
13:37 |

pmurias: I don't disagree; I don't have another answer. :-) |
13:39 |
audreyt |
I guess doing it the way perl5 people would expect is probably best |
13:40 |
audreyt |
i.e. it is mutable by default, and it should die |
13:40 |
audreyt |
when called in uninitialized mode |

yaml type tags... |
15:55 |
audreyt |
as long as it's not http://localhost/ |
15:55 |
audreyt |
I've already got that one |
15:55 |
ingy |
http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PerlTagScheme |
15:55 |
gaal |
and you can use it whereever you go! |
15:55 |
ingy |
funny place for it I know... |
15:56 |
ingy |
anyway I promised you a proposal |
15:56 |
audreyt |
ok, I got it. |
15:56 |
audreyt |
I remember I said "tests" |
15:56 |
audreyt |
but a spec is fine |
15:56 |
audreyt |
it makes sense only when both YAML.pm and YAML::Syck can support it |
15:56 |
ingy |
its not a spec |
15:56 |
audreyt |
preferably in the same release |
15:56 |

15:57 |
audreyt |
why !! not !? |
15:57 |
ingy |
it's a trac so just comment on the page |
15:58 |
ingy |
!! is more official |
15:58 |
audreyt |
got it |
15:58 |
audreyt |
ok |
15:58 |
ingy |
! can be anything |
15:58 |
ingy |
I don't really care what it is in practice, as long as we are in parity |
15:58 |
audreyt |
"http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PerlTagScheme" |
15:58 |
audreyt |
er |
15:59 |
audreyt |
"determined by" |
15:59 |
audreyt |
how does Foo::Bar signify its desired layout? |
15:59 |
ingy |
and I'm trying to get in parity with the python folks and ruby folks too |
15:59 |
audreyt |
probe ->new's layout? |
16:00 |
audreyt |
otherwise I think it's sane |
16:00 |
audreyt |
you have an idea of when you'll have cycles to put together a draft impl in YAML.pm? |
16:00 |
ingy |
using !perl/Foo.Bar implies there is a Foo::Bar class with a from_yaml method |
16:01 |
ingy |
or somesuch |
16:01 |
audreyt |
not too sure about that |
16:01 |
audreyt |
why can't we just bless it? |
16:01 |
ingy |
then use !perl/:Foo.Bar |
16:02 |
ingy |
or !perl/hash:Foo.Bar |
16:02 |
ingy |
which are synonyms |
16:02 |
audreyt |
and hash:Foo::Bar is also synonym |
16:02 |
audreyt |
I'm not too sure about :: vs . synonymship |
16:02 |
audreyt |
either we all normalize to . |
16:03 |
audreyt |
or we only normalize to . on the object-handling sigilless way |
16:03 |
audreyt |
and preserve :: otherwise |
16:03 |
ingy |
Well, for !perl/ tags I don't care... |
16:03 |
audreyt |
ok then |
16:03 |
ingy |
for !!object:Foo.Bar |
16:03 |
audreyt |
in that case, :: is probably better to !perl |
16:03 |
audreyt |
too confusing otherwise |
16:03 |
audreyt |
!!object I agree. |
16:03 |
ingy |
I was just throwing out options |
16:03 |
audreyt |
I understand |
16:04 |
audreyt |
and I was just about to fall asleep prior to that :) |
16:04 |
ingy |
do you like the sigils or long forms for Perl? |
16:04 |
ingy |
I don't really want to support both |
16:05 |
ingy |
the long forms are nice because the blessing is just an extension |
16:05 |
ingy |
of the unblessed forms |
16:05 |
ingy |
I think the sigils are too cute |
16:05 |
audreyt |
I dislike the sigils |
16:05 |
ingy |
cool. gone |
16:05 |
audreyt |
the new form should be as distinct as possible |
16:05 |
audreyt |
from the old form |
16:05 |
audreyt |
we are breaking all compat |
16:06 |
audreyt |
so we might as well do it in a more regular and clearner way |
16:06 |
ingy |
sigh... |
16:06 |
ingy |
yeah |
16:06 |
audreyt |
the tone of your "sigh" and "or somesuch" reminds me of TimToady... |
16:06 |
ingy |
yes |
16:06 |
ingy |
borrowed from him |
16:07 |
audreyt |
as we all do :) |
16:07 |
ingy |
well not sigh but somesuch and handwaving |
16:07 |
audreyt |
ok, I think the current proposal will fly |
16:07 |

will take a closer look tomorrow |

18:40 |

i'm looking for ppl who can help me figure out whether it makes sense to see about making a PL/Parrot |
18:41 |
ruoso |
davidfetter, it would be at least impressive |
18:42 |
davidfetter |
ruoso, i'm pretty much of a n00b as far as VMs and language bindings go. does it even make sense to talk about such a thing? |
18:43 |
ruoso |
sure it does... |
18:43 |
ruoso |
parrot is currently embedable in perl 5 |
18:44 |
* ruoso |
wonders if "embedable" is a valid word.... |
18:44 |
davidfetter |
so what's a 50,000-foot view of how such a thing might work? |
18:44 |
davidfetter |
i.e. would parrot have some kind of extension for calling SPI? |
18:45 |
ruoso |
link to libparrot and call parrot bytecode... |
18:45 |
davidfetter |
would it be some kind of off-to-the-side VM like PL/J ? |
18:45 |
davidfetter |
does parrot have a "safe mode" the way perl does? |
18:45 |
davidfetter |
as in "can't open files or pipes?" |
18:45 |
ruoso |
if not, it certainly should... |
18:46 |
leo |
davidfetter: not yet |
18:46 |
davidfetter |
ok, so PL/ParrotU 1st, then |
18:50 |
davidfetter |
ruoso, when you say "link to libparrot," what do you mean? |
18:51 |
ruoso |
davidfetter, the same as link to libperl |
18:51 |
davidfetter |
hrm. |
18:51 |
ruoso |
libparrot provides an interface to the vm |
18:51 |
* davidfetter |
goes off to dig into just how PL/Perl(U) is done |
18:51 |

where you can execute code... |
