00:26	Casan	where do I find the documentation on the run method for interacting with the system console from rakudo?
00:30	sorear	there isn't any
00:31	ingy	greetings
00:31	sorear	it doesn't really need it, as it has no features to speak of
00:31	melte	is it the same as p5's system()?
00:31	sorear	no
00:32	sorear	it's the same as p5's system, minus the LIST form
00:33	melte	:/
00:33	melte	why would they get rid of that?
00:33	sorear	also minus setting $?, setting ${HILD_ERROR_NATIVE}, control of argv[0], and autoflushing
00:33	sorear	melte: because there was a concious decision to start from scratch
00:34	sorear	every single feature of p5 has been thrown out
00:34	sorear	some of them have been replaced
00:34	melte	yes
00:35	sorear	the only things Rakudo run supports is my $return-value = run("this string is passed to your shell")
00:36	melte	I suppose somewhere in the p6 docs I could find the reasoning behind a less featureful function
00:36	melte	there's no exec either, eh

00:48	* ruoso	.oO( I wonder if anyone at #perl6 would have some time and money to spend on coming to YAPC::Brasil in Fortaleza from 25 to 31 october (talks 28-30, social 31) )
00:49	Casan	sorear: ok, maybe you can give a hint to how I store the return value in the scalar, so I can parse it as I please. right now, when I do { my $return-value = run("dir"); say $return-value; } the output from run("dir") is printed directly to the screen and the say results in a 0.
00:51	melte	Casan: that's like perl5. use qx
00:56	Casan	melte: can you give an example
00:57	melte	star: my $b = qx'uname -a'; $b.say # probably won't work if this is sandboxed
00:57	p6eval	star 2010.07: OUTPUT«Operation not permitted in safe mode␤ in 'Safe::forbidden' at line 2:/tmp/bKlJm0UvJt␤ in main program body at line 22:/tmp/bKlJm0UvJt␤»
00:57	melte	yeah
00:58	sorear	melte: software does not spring forth fully formed
00:59	sorear	it's less featureful because _it's_not_finished_
00:59	melte	Casan: I don't know what the variable ($?) is in perl6 (looking now) but the return value will be somewhere too
00:59	melte	sorear: okay, that I didn't know
00:59	melte	sorear: the way you said it above about a conscious decision made me think it was a design decision
01:00	sorear	right, it was a design decision to start over
01:03	melte	ah I see exec is now runinstead (NYI)
01:04	melte	and that the S29 explanation of run gives different argument conventions
01:06	Casan	ok thanks. learned some. didn't find qx anywhere before.

06:34	masak	oh hai, #perl6!
06:34	moritz_	masak: good morning. Where are you?
06:34	sorear	good morning
06:34	masak	moritz_: I am at the leaning tower of Pisa. where are you? :)
06:35	moritz_	masak: conference venue. Come here, we have cookies!
06:35	masak	moritz_: I'll start walking now, and I'll be there in 40 minutes.
06:35	masak	are you in the lobby?
06:36	moritz_	masak: 1st floor actually, but we might move to the lobby
06:36	masak	oki.
06:36	masak	I'll try to find you.
06:37	moritz_	it's easy when you find the conference location :-)
06:37	masak	Google Maps makes that look easy, too.
06:38	masak	My One Hotel is at via Darsena 1.
06:39	moritz_	it's easy, but not a pleasant walk
06:40	masak	would that be due to the lack of a sidewalk?
06:40	moritz_	right, at least in the end
06:40	masak	I'll take the appropriate amount of care.
06:41	moritz_	stop talking, come here :-)
06:42	masak	moritz_: who's there already, by the way? moritz_, jnthn, pmichaud...?
06:42	moritz_	I've seen jnthn walkiing to the breakfast thing

06:46	masak	walk &
06:49	moritz_	http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=852570 that kinda looks like a very optimistic number :-)

07:37	sorear	part of me wants to beat rakudo to having a good I/O system, since I'm building on a VM that has working I/O
07:38	sorear	on the other hand - p6eval
07:38	mathw	Morning
07:39	mathw	sorear: you want to beat rakudo to having a proper safe mode :)
07:41	sorear	szabgab: freenode policy recommends that ops do their lurking incognito - /mode #perl6 -o szabgab when not needing to use your powers
07:43	sorear	moritz_: according to #mono, running a random .exe in a sandbox is nontrivial; sandboxing in the modern CLR requires a custom runtime library for your sandbox
07:43	sorear	moritz_: so that's not an option for us
07:43	sorear	moritz_: given chroot + rlimit, what are the big things that need to stay disabled?
07:45	moritz_	sorear: run(), qx// etc.
07:46	moritz_	sorear: happy? :-)
07:46	mathw	Oh do we have a proper op list now? Good.
07:48	moritz_	yes
07:51	szbalint	heheh
07:56	mathw	I seem to recall that coming up a long time ago :)
07:56	moritz_	aye
07:56	mathw	and since we're on freenode it's polite to follow their guidelines
07:56	moritz_	we're doing that now
07:57	mathw	actually I rather enjoy instances where some idiot makes a mess in a channel and suddenly the ops are popping out of the woodwork
07:57	mathw	it's almost like somebody being an idiot in the street and six passersby abruptly turn into policemen
07:57	* snarkyboojum	is reminded of the matrix
07:58	mathw	hmm
07:58	mathw	a bit less sinister
07:58	mathw	clark kent in a phone box
07:58	snarkyboojum	:)
07:58	mathw	which you couldn't do nowadays
07:58	mathw	not in the UK anyay
07:58	mathw	might get seen on CCTV
07:59	Su-Shee	there was an incident of a german in australia who was to be mugged and suddenly 6 ninjas (literally) from the near-by martial arts school saved him :)
08:00		ruoso joined #perl6
08:01	mathw	yes I read about that
08:01	mathw	It reminded me of one day at aikido when the panic alarm for reception went off
08:01	mathw	three instructors sprinted out of the room
08:01	mathw	it was just the receptionist testing it
08:02	mathw	but I'd pity anybody who did think to make trouble there
08:02	mathw	although not for very long
08:03	Su-Shee	they just had to run at the mugger. must have been an impressive sight :)
08:05	mathw	yeah
08:05	szbalint	ever had a fire alarm in a data center? Everybody dashes out damn fast when that happens, because they use gas for putting out fires.
08:05	mathw	no but I've seen the signs which tell you to get out

08:07	mathw	shame I couldn't go, but it wouldn't have been wise as it turns out
08:07	mathw	I hate to think what I'd feel like if I'd been on a plane today

08:46	rcfox	moritz_: Had to put in some effort to get the definition of "imprescriptible". Nice job. (Also, you wrote it as -able)
08:47	moritz_	rcfox: will fix that in the next version, thanks
08:47	moritz_	rcfox: it's not my invention - German law is weird
08:48	rcfox	Well, Google didn't know what it meant, so I had to go to a real dictionary website.
08:49	rcfox	Heh, it's kind of funny that your last name is Lenz and you're a scientist.

08:52	rcfox	I don't know. Not funny in the "ha ha" sense...
08:53	LaVolta	rcfox: blame me for "funny" then, i did misunderstand that :)
08:53	rcfox	All I share a name with is a media corporation that likes to cancel TV shows. :P
08:54	LaVolta	FOX? is that your true lastname?
08:54	rcfox	Yep.
08:54	LaVolta	btw, I am waiting for House M.D. Season 7
08:54	rcfox	;)
08:54	rcfox	Is your last name Volta?
08:55	snarkyboojum	my last name isn't boojum
08:55	snarkyboojum	ho ho
08:55	rcfox	snarkyboojum: But you are snarky.
08:55	LaVolta	no :) and I did not even know what lavolta means...
08:55	snarkyboojum	rcfox: touche! :P
08:55	snarkyboojum	hang on .. no I'm not!

17:21	PerlJam	I'm not sure if I have an account on feather 3 or not. If so, I haven't used it in forever.
17:22	PerlJam	also, I don't think rakudo builds on feather1 anymore and I don't know the relationship between feather1 and feather3
17:22	PerlJam	at least, I seem to recall that I couldn't build rakudo on feather1 the last time that I tried.
17:23	ash_	i might nice it and leave it in a screen in the background and just see if it ever finishes...

18:09	rcfox	(I say might because I'm not sure if there would actually be a gain when you factor in tranversing the trees each time. At worst, it should be a net gain of 0, I think.)

19:48	offerkaye	I saw that but I wasn't sure what "multi method" means
19:48	[particle]	ok, it means more than one method signature can be defined
19:49	[particle]	so a user can provide their own method of the same name with a different sig
19:50	[particle]	but as specced, it only takes Str now
19:51	offerkaye	Since in P5 it can also work on a list, I hope that gets improved sometime
19:52	offerkaye	Anyway thanks for the help [particle] .
19:53	[particle]	offerkaye: it can... you can patch the spec.
19:53	[particle]	if @Larry doesn't like it, it'll get reverted.
19:53	[particle]	that's how we operate here, don't be shy.

19:54		d4rt joined #perl6
19:57	offerkaye	[particle]++,maybe you could explain to me the other parts of "our Str multi method chomp ( Str $string: ) is export"? I guess the "( Str $string: ) is the argument part? But what is the "our" and "is export"? And why "Str $string" and not just "Str"?
19:58	[particle]	( Str $string: ) is the method's signature, it defines the parameters that are accepted
19:58	araujo	snarkyboojum, hehe that is a nice one
19:58		tadzik joined #perl6
19:58	[particle]	Str $string means that you automatically have the first parameter named $string in your code
19:59	tylercurtis	"Str multi method ..." means it returns a Str.
20:00	[particle]	'our' means it's package scoped, and is the default, so 'sub foo(...) {...}' mean sthe same as 'our sub foo(...) {...}'
20:01	[particle]	offerkaye: for the gory details, S06, S11 and S12 have lots of info
20:01	tylercurtis	[particle]: our is there so the return type can precede the "multi method" part?
20:01	[particle]	our is there to be explicit, if i understand correctly
20:01		Ross joined #perl6
20:02	offerkaye	"you automatically have the first parameter named $string in your code" - I don't really understand that. Could you give me an example?
20:04		jhuni joined #perl6
20:05	offerkaye	Also I'm not sure why the spec would define the scope of a function - isn't that the code's task? If I write " my $str = chomp ("foo\n"); ", $str will not be package scoped it will be lexically scoped...
20:05	tylercurtis	offerkaye: The function chomp is still package scoped to the Str class.
20:06	offerkaye	star: {my $str = chomp ("foo\n");} ; say $str;

20:08	[particle]	sorry, i'm on the phone for 10 more minutes or so
20:08	offerkaye	tylercurtis: ah, you're saying that I can have another "chomp" function which is scoped to the (sorry don't know the name) List class... and I guess that's where the multi method part comes in?
20:08	snarkyboojum	so they default to my scope not our
20:08	snarkyboojum	as I understand it
20:09		d4rt_ joined #perl6
20:09	tylercurtis	offerkaye: in a method's signature, a colon instead of a comma following the first parameter means it's the invocant of the method. The name is just for documentary purposes, which doesn't really matter in this case, but it's nice when the exported method takes multiple arguments.
20:09	tylercurtis	offerkaye: yes.
20:10	tylercurtis	snarkyboojum: Not for methods, though, no?

20:11	offerkaye	But "means it's the invocant of the method" - what does "invocant" mean? It's almost like a word in English ;)
20:11	snarkyboojum	tylercurtis: I'm just referring to particles example where he states sub foo means the same as our sub foo
20:12		d4rt_ joined #perl6
20:12	offerkaye	snarkyboojum: [particle] is AFK 10 min, on phone
20:12	tylercurtis	snarkyboojum: ah, right.
20:12	offerkaye	In case you were wondering :)
20:13	snarkyboojum	tylercurtis: according to the spec methods are neither my or our scope, they have 'has' semantics
20:13	offerkaye	Well, someone is having connection problems tonight...
20:13	[Coke]	invocant is 'self'.
20:16	tylercurtis	snarkyboojum: Ah. Why does spec use our scope for exported multi methods?
20:17	offerkaye	Hmm that still doesn't explain to me why the spec couldn't just say "chomp (Str)" and mean the input argument is of type Str. Also what [particle] wrote ""you automatically have the first parameter named $string in your code" still doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps you're both talking about if someone defines a new chomp method, so inside his code he would get... what?
20:17	offerkaye	$string?
20:17	offerkaye	self?
20:17	[Coke]	offerkaye: chomp is already a method.
20:17		yxes joined #perl6
20:18	[Coke]	the spec presumably names the args for clarity. I guess it's not working. =-)
20:18	[Coke]	if you write your own method, you do not have to call the first positional argument $string.
20:18	[Coke]	(I hope)
20:18	PerlJam	offerkaye: are you familiar with named parameters?
20:19	[Coke]	PerlJam: (this isn't a named parameter, is it?)
20:19	PerlJam	no, it isn't
20:19	PerlJam	but I think that might be a source of confusion
20:19	offerkaye	PerlJam: you mean my $obj = Foobar->new({item1=>"foo"}) ?
20:19	[Coke]	offerkaye: WOOF that's fivey.
20:20	offerkaye	Ah sry thought PerlJam meant P5 named params
20:20	offerkaye	I don't know P6 named params sorry :(
20:20	PerlJam	Hmm
20:20	[Coke]	offerkaye: so, the fact that the positional argument is mentioned by name is only for explanatory reasons, SFAICT.
20:21	[Coke]	the other point was that if you define a sub/method to take a (Str $foo), you don't have to do the perl5-y "my $foo = shift"; - you already have a variable called $foo available in teh method body. but that is not tied to the reason for showing it in teh spec.
20:21	offerkaye	ah!
20:22	offerkaye	"ou already have a variable called $foo available in teh method body." - that's what I was trying to say - rather badly :)
20:22	offerkaye	ok that makes sense, thanks :)
20:22	[Coke]	whee!

20:24		ambs joined #perl6
20:26	offerkaye	So "our Str multi method chomp ( Str $string: ) is export" means chomp is a function which is globally scoped in the Str package, can be overriden with other "chomp" functions with different signatures and accepts a Str as argument where if you override chomp with your own, you'll get a variable called $string available inside the method body. So far so good?

20:31	[Coke]	offerkaye: do you know what multi-method dispatch is?
20:31	masak	PerlJam: hm, seems it's supposed to be one word in Italian: 'buonasera'. guess they use it a lot, then.
20:31	masak	cognominal: that's a shortcoming in Rakudo, not in the spec.
20:32	PerlJam	masak: oddly, I think it's because I was seeing the text rather than hearing it that I didn't recognize what language it was.
20:33	offerkaye	[particle]: yeah I see, sub "foo" can have multiple types of input arguments (and presumably output ones too)
20:33	masak	PerlJam: oh, I thought you were joking. :P
20:33	PerlJam	masak: no, just a minor neuronal misfire :)
20:35	offerkaye	I see now why you were against the word "override", it doesn't, really. But there must be a better way of saying it than "participate in multi-method dispatch.". Maybe "can have more than one signature"?
20:36	masak	good blog post: http://blogs.perl.org/users/ryan_fox/2010/08/a-matrix-worthy-of-perl-6.html

20:37	PerlJam	offerkaye: "override" is like "X replaces Y". "participates in MMD" is more like "X adds to Y"
20:37	[Coke]	the multi is a shortcut for that. you'd probably never say PIMMD unless you were explaining MMD.
20:39	snarkyboojum	overloading perhaps c.f. override
20:39	offerkaye	So "our Str multi method chomp ( Str $string: ) is export" means chomp is a function which is globally scoped in the Str package, accepts a Str as argument by default, can have multiple signatures and if you define your own signature you get a variable $string inside the method body... right?

20:43	[Coke]	tylercurtis: SSSH.
20:43	snarkyboojum	masak: the alliteration is killing me :)
20:43	[Coke]	the method in the spec?

20:44	p6eval	rakudo efe72c: OUTPUT«abc is a Str()␤»
20:44	[Coke]	or the method that you define in your own code?
20:44	offerkaye	The method you define
20:45	offerkaye	How could you have access to the original spec "chomp" body? Presumably that's safe inside Rakudo's guts...
20:45	masak	snarkyboojum: oh, the alliteration's accidental. :) complete coincidence.
20:46	offerkaye	rakudo: multi sub chomp (Str $string) {say $string ~ " is a " ~ $string.WHAT; }; chomp('abc'); # note i never declared 'my $string'
20:46	p6eval	rakudo efe72c: OUTPUT«abc is a Str()␤»
20:46	PerlJam	offerkaye: in theory, everything is introspectable.
20:46	[Coke]	offerkaye: right. so if it's on the method you define... the variable name used in the argument in the spec's has NOTHING to do with the name of the variable you pick.
20:46	snarkyboojum	masak: :P
20:46	offerkaye	Did I just overload or override? hmmm...
20:46	masak	offerkaye: having $string in a signature is just as much a declaration as 'my $string'
20:46	[Coke]	so the fact that it says $string does NOT mean that YOU will get a $string.
20:46	[Coke]	the fact that YOU say $string does.
20:47	masak	offerkaye: override.
20:47	[Coke]	whoever said that you is conflating method signatures in general with the definitions in the spec.
20:47	offerkaye	[Coke]: so you're saying, I only got $string because I declared it?
20:47	[Coke]	yes.
20:48	[Coke]	if YOU write "method chomp (Str $strung) {}".... you name your argument $strung, and you get that variable in YOUR method body.
20:48	[Coke]	the fact that you're adding another chomp doesn't mean you get the original chomp's $string.
20:48	[Coke]	your method doesn't know anything about that.
20:49	masak	right, each multi is an island.

20:52	offerkaye	So if the spec said ""our Str multi method chomp ( Str ) is export" without the "$string:" part, that would mean... what? That an overloaded chomp with a different signature (or the same for that matter) doesn't have automatic access to it's input argument/s?

20:58	alester	oh, I just don't know.
20:58	alester	Waah.
20:58	alester	I really need to write code.
20:58	PerlJam	[particle]: I seem to remember something analogous to :ignorecase for diacritics
20:59	[particle]	aye... :ignoreaccent ?
20:59	[Coke]	... I guess it depends on what you're testing. could be a regression test for rakudo, e.g. that tested across potentialy regex impl.
20:59	[Coke]	<shrug> write it in perl6. that's easier to do anyway.
21:00	alester	and then backport it down.

21:00	bgs100	Er
21:00	bgs100	Fail
21:00	alester	my big overarching goal is to write File::Next in P6
21:00	bgs100	Was trying to join the channel; ignore please
21:00	[particle]	alester: that' was going to be my first suggestion
21:00	masak	bgs100: you succeeded! welcome!
21:00	PerlJam	alester: and then ack? :)
21:00		trexy joined #perl6
21:01	tadzik	alester: couldn't we integrate it with File::Find?
21:01	bgs100	Hi masak, yay :p
21:01	alester	tadzik: Why would I want to?
21:01	tadzik	alester: the P6 File::Find returns a lazy list
21:01	alester	hmm
21:01	tadzik	alester: I just don't think File::Next is so needed now
21:01	tadzik	File::Find does not suck anymore ;)
21:01	masak	bgs100: so, you're interested in Perl 6 and Python? :)
21:01	tadzik	well, maybe the code does, but at least the concept isn't broken :)
21:02	bgs100	masak, Yes
21:02	trexy	hi
21:02	masak	bgs100: me too.
21:02	masak	trexy: hi!
21:02	trexy	just downloaded Rakudo *
21:02	trexy	well done on the release
21:02	masak	trexy: yay!
21:02	trexy	as an avid lurker for 5+ years
21:02	trexy	it's been great to see it come to fruition
21:02	bgs100	Hi trexy
21:02	tadzik	alester: so the CPAN synopsis example would be my $list = find('/tmp'); for $list -> $file { #`[do something] }
21:02	trexy	hi
21:02	bgs100	masak, ah :)
21:03	masak	trexy: what's the difference between an ordinary lurker and an avid one? :P
21:03	trexy	indeed
21:03	trexy	well I suppose I feel part of the channel albeit
21:03	trexy	my active contributions are small
21:04	tadzik	alester: anyway, File::Next seems like non-sucky File::Find replacement, so I see your point :)
21:04	trexy	I just opened the book and was surprised to see the butterfly didn't look like Camelia
21:04	masak	trexy: that makes me genuinely happy.
21:04	trexy	I'd just like to vote for Camelia++
21:04	masak	trexy: would you rather have Camelia there?
21:04	masak	ok.
21:04	trexy	absolutely
21:04	trexy	I think she is a strong brand
21:04	soc	perl6: $str1 = "tést"; $str2 = "te\u0301st"; if ($str1 == $str2) {print "Same"};
21:05	p6eval	pugs: OUTPUT«*** ␤ Unexpected " ="␤ expecting "::"␤ Variable "$str1" requires predeclaration or explicit package name␤ at /tmp/hoK8ldT1Sv line 1, column 6␤»

21:05	trexy	and I realise she may take some time to get used to
21:05	PerlJam	trexy: a little too strong for some people :)
21:05	soc	ouch, sorr<
21:05	trexy	but a brand needs to be distinctive
21:05	snarkyboojum	trexy: I was surprised too, but I also found the replacement more gentle on the eyes :)
21:05	trexy	yes
21:05	masak	me too.
21:05	trexy	I think the replacement is very nice/aesthetic etc
21:05	bgs100	Hmm
21:05	trexy	however it needs to have personality imho

21:06		jferrero joined #perl6
21:06	* bgs100	should hurry up and download Rakudo
21:06	trexy	a mascot logo needs to have some 'spirit'
21:06	trexy	and O(fun) etc
21:06	alester	waaaah, emebedded tabs in modules
21:06	* tadzik	still thinks having a Bug as a language mascott is not the best idea
21:06	PerlJam	someone should do an animation of sri's butterfly morphing into Camelia
21:06	trexy	that would be cool
21:07	trexy	I understand what sri was driving at
21:07		ascent_ joined #perl6
21:07	alester	What is Cool?
21:07	trexy	but I think there is a requirement for a 'love' mark
21:07	trexy	something that people can have an emotional attachment too
21:07		drbean joined #perl6
21:07	tadzik	alester: it makes the class have the usual methods, I used this so the stringified filename could be used as a normal string, e.g. .IO can be used on it
21:07	trexy	like all good trade marks in the end it is a collection of 'fuzzies'
21:08	trexy	;-)
21:08	alester	tadzik: You wrote File::Find then?
21:08	tadzik	alester: yep
21:08	PerlJam	or maybe a little movie of a realish butterfly flying around where it lands on a camel's hump ... and then a few seconds later they are both crushed by Camelia :->
21:08	trexy	Camelia - can be that mark imho
21:08	frettled	trexy, masak: at Oslo.pm this afternoon, those who knew about Camelia's looks were pleasantly surprised about which the book draft had chosen, and those who didn't know anything, thought it looked good all by itself.
21:08	tadzik	alester: the P6 one of course :)
21:08	alester	And so Find.pir is a copmiled-down version of Find.pm?
21:08	tadzik	alester: probably, yes
21:09	trexy	I think it looks good to - but that does not necessarily make for a good trade mark
21:09	alester	It seems strange to me to install modules under /usr/local/lib/parrot
21:09	tadzik	oh btw, did today's pmichaud++ patch for rakudo made it able to compile the standalone scripts?
21:09	trexy	that needs to be applied to lots of different things (mugs, favicon, tshirts) etc
21:09	tadzik	I wouldn't mind a Camelia t-shirt I must say
21:10	trexy	anyway just wanted to register a camelia++ and hope that people can get behind her - as she represents a chance to get some strong branding for Perl
21:10	frettled	I think the idea of a multi-coloured butterfly works well, even if said butterfly doesn't look exactly like Camelia.
21:11	snarkyboojum	I would buy a Camelia t-shirt :)
21:11	* tylercurtis	also likes Camelia.
21:11	trexy	me too
21:12	tadzik	alester: that's what Star does?
21:12	snarkyboojum	or even a Camelia sticker to stick to my laptop :)
21:12		ambs joined #perl6
21:12	alester	That seems to be the case, yes
21:13	tadzik	strange. Well, I install them all to my ~/.perl6/lib, so I dunno
21:13	tadzik	alester: the case? It doesn't work there?
21:13		am0c joined #perl6
21:13	alester	I didnt' say it doesn't work.
21:13	alester	I just figured that the Perl modules would be installed separate from /usr/local/lib/parrot
21:13	tadzik	hmm
21:14	alester	It's at /usr/local/lib/parrot/2.6.0-devel/languages/perl6/lib/File/Find.{pm,pir}
21:14	tadzik	I think the thing is, the .pirs are not Perl-only
21:14	pmichaud	good evening, #perl6
21:14	tadzik	any Parrot language can use .pir modules, no?
21:14	alester	Sure, but then why the .pm there?
21:14	tadzik	dunno
21:14	tadzik	pmichaud: 'evening
21:14	trexy	ages ago I wrote up a something about trade marks for Perl - please disregard the commentary related to "perl.com" - but I think Camelia ticks a lot of these boxes:
21:14	aCiD2	What would a perl 6 regular expression look like for match any amount of stars, followed by text look like. I have many lines like this, and want to match the text of each line "** Foo" -> "Foo"
21:15	trexy	lovemarks for Perl: http://thegoo.org/love-marks-for-perl.pdf
21:15	aCiD2	I have: token node { ^^ ''+ \s+ $<text>=[\N] \n } but it doesn't seem to work right
21:16		briang joined #perl6
21:16	[particle]	aCiD2: any amount of stars, including 0?

21:16	[particle]	ok

21:17	pmichaud	there.
21:17	aCiD2	hrm, is that different to what I have?
21:17	tylercurtis	aCiD2: your example didn't have a newline in the text.
21:18	offerkaye	PerlJam, [particle], [Coke] - thank you all for taking the time to help me better understand the spec. I hope it helps me write better docs :)
21:18	aCiD2	my example input is multiple lines of that. But if a newline proceeds (a blank new line) then the match seems to capture a *
21:18	tadzik	oh wow. Is that colomon who did loop optimizations recently?
21:18	soc	does someone know how to get rakudo star? ist there a debian package or a ppa somewhere?
21:18		ascent_ joined #perl6
21:18	tadzik	soc: I doubt it, only the .tar.gz on github

21:19	tadzik	oh
21:20	pmichaud	phenny: tell moritz_ I decided to work from my room (couldn't get network addr on 1st floor wifi)
21:20	phenny	pmichaud: I'll pass that on when moritz_ is around.
21:20	offerkaye	Good night all.
21:20	aCiD2	http://gist.github.com/507173 ok, this is what I'm working with
21:20	aCiD2	but no output from this...
21:20	bgs100	Wheee
21:21	tadzik	http://nopaste.snit.ch/22538 -- damn, that's something
21:21	PerlJam	rakudo: say '1' x 22201 ~~ /^ 1? $ \| (11+?) $0+ $/ ?? "composite" !! "prime"; # because I was curious
21:21	tylercurtis	aCiD2: the empty lines are probably problematic
21:21	p6eval	rakudo efe72c: ( no output )
21:22	pmichaud	tylercurtis++ # correct, it doesn't match empty lines
21:22	PerlJam	I guess it's just too slow
21:22	pmichaud	in fact, it doesn't match the first empty line
21:22	pmichaud	so it stops.
21:23	pmichaud	(The first empty line being the one before "* Hello\n")
21:23	aCiD2	so do I surround <node> with \s* ?
21:23	pmichaud	aCiD2: something like that. Could also do: token TOP { [ <node> \| ^^ \h* \n ]+ }
21:24		wamba joined #perl6
21:24	aCiD2	so for this to match, <node> has to match directly from the first character? Which in this case it doesn't do because there is no leading star
21:24		soc left #perl6
21:24	tadzik	g'night #perl6

21:28	moritz_	o/
21:28	phenny	moritz_: 19:41Z <[Coke]> ask moritz_ - what was the blocker to building all the bits of core.pm separately and then combining the PIR instead of the PM?
21:28	sorear	hi
21:28	phenny	moritz_: 21:20Z <pmichaud> tell moritz_ I decided to work from my room (couldn't get network addr on 1st floor wifi)
21:29	pmichaud	phenny: tell [Coke] the main blocker is that all of the bits of core.pm have to be in the same lexical scope.... and that's a challenge to do in the current rakudo + pir implementation.
21:29	phenny	pmichaud: I'll pass that on when [Coke] is around.
21:29	pmichaud	phenny: tell [Coke] but we discussed it at the hackathon today and I think I may have an interim solution to enable separate compilation of the core setting bits.
21:29	phenny	pmichaud: I'll pass that on when [Coke] is around.
21:32	sorear	pmichaud: Did I ever ask you about the stack of backtrack points vs. lazy lists question?

21:34	moritz_	that is... curious
21:34	sorear	howso?
21:34	sorear	pmichaud: TimToady talks about backtracking as being simply a lazy list of cursors
21:35	moritz_	sorear: there are two kinds of adverbs: those that make sense on regexes itself, and those that make sense on calls that involve regexes
21:35	sorear	pmichaud: additionally, that cursors have a transaction chain, and nonlocal cut operators using that chain to disable generators
21:35	moritz_	sorear: for example :g only makes sense on calls (like s:g///, m:g//), not on rx//
21:36	bgs100	std: say "hi"
21:36	p6eval	std 31897: OUTPUT«ok 00:01 115m␤»
21:36	pmichaud	sorear: sure, I've heard TimToady remark about them being lazy lists of cursors
21:36	sorear	pmichaud: (outside Cursor.pmc) I have a slightly bad feeling about this setup. Do you share it?
21:37	pmichaud	I chose not to do it that way in nqp-rx because I can get (I think) more efficient backtracking by simply keeping a resizable integer array of backtracking offsets than I can by keeping closures that produce lazy list structures
21:38	moritz_	std: rxs/a/

21:38		cognominal joined #perl6
21:38	sorear	Are you treating this as a case of Not Quite, or do you want to change the vision?
21:39	pmichaud	it's one of those places where I figure there may be competing implementations of a common set of functionality, and a standard will arise from evaluating the different implementations. (more)
21:40	pmichaud	so, I'm taking more of a "wait and see" attitude to see if there's some compelling reason to choose one over the other.
21:40	moritz_	std: s:overlap/a/b/
21:40	p6eval	std 31897: OUTPUT«ok 00:01 115m␤»
21:41	pmichaud	at the moment, I'd probably tend to stick with the nqp-rx approach, but I can see why there might be good arguments for a purer approach a-la Cursor.pmc
21:41	moritz_	one reason is probably that it's easier to do matching with non-regex code

22:15	ericsmith	I just installed rakudo-star-2010.07 and was first struck by the slow speed of execution.
22:15	ericsmith	Just ran a few command with perl6 -e " " and wondered why it was so slow?
22:15	exodist	ericsmith, thats probably everyones reaction
22:16	ericsmith	I hope it improves ...
22:17	sorear	that's not the slow speed of execution you're seeing
22:17	sorear	it's not like perl6 is "executing" the space
22:19	avuserow	ericsmith: speed is improving with every release
22:19	tylercurtis	sorear: it's the slow speed of executing the setting, though, right?
22:19	avuserow	ericsmith: http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2010/07/an-accurate-comparison-of-perl-5-and-rakudo-star.html
22:20	sorear	tylercurtis: more like the slow speed of the parrot bytecode loader
22:20	sorear	tylercurtis: in case you were wondering why #parrot spends so much time on packfiles
22:20	avuserow	that might be a good read for why it's slow and some goals
22:21	sorear	perl5 starts up so quickly because it's compiled all the way to machine code and can be demand paged by the OS
22:21		yxes left #perl6
22:21	sorear	rakudo is considerably larger (due to inefficient bytecode formatting) and mostly bytecode which has to be explicitly loaded
22:21	sorear	we're trying to fix this on multiple fronts
