cdc .tell zostay I think you can replace "Supply.on-demand(-> $a { ... })" construction with a supply block. gist.github.com/jnthn/a56fd4a22e7c...onstructs. I find this latter construction more readable.
yoleaux cdc: I'll pass your message to zostay.
07:18 larion left, liztormato left 07:20 liztormato joined
moritz can somebody explain in very simple terms what an on-demand supply does? 07:23
(and what it does differently than a "live" supply?)
jdv79 where is that distinction made? 07:24
moritz in src/core/Supply.pm iirc 07:25
07:25 llfourn left 07:26 rindolf joined 07:27 liztormato left 07:28 Ven left 07:29 mattp_ left
RabidGravy on demand supply can be pre-populated with items and these will be available to a subsequent tapper, whereas a "live" one only the items that are emitted after the tap are seen 07:30
eg Supply.from-list() or e.g Supply.interval() 07:31
cdc then, a live supply can't "overflow", right ?
moritz RabidGravy: only available to the first tapper, or to all of them? 07:32
m: my $s = Supply.from-list(1, 2, 3, 4); $s.tap({}); $s.tap(&say); $s.done

cdc RabidGravy: thanks! 07:38
moritz ... and the bikeshedding on p6u continues (about oneliners now being strict again, by default) 07:39
RabidGravy good, good 07:41

ShimmerFairy moritz: there are people who _want_ no strict on one-liners? That's news to me. 07:41
masak the populace seems divided on this. 07:42

moritz ShimmerFairy: aye 07:42
masak let's provide an easy opt-in for the nonstricters and be done with it.
07:42 salva joined
ShimmerFairy masak: what's the P5 commandline option for 'no'ing modules? 07:42
moritz --nostrict :-) 07:43
masak moritz: I've also heard the words "hot" and "cold" used for "live" and "on-demand". I guess it comes down to being unable to do, or uninterested in, retroactive replay.
oha the issue seems that -M-strict or -Mnostrict isn't working
ShimmerFairy moritz: there isn't an obvious subject line, could it be "killer advantages" ?
masak moritz: like, a mouse isn't likely to save up its old cursor positions just 'cus you subscribed late.
moritz ShimmerFairy: yes, deep in that thread
masak moritz: (and there might not be a use case for that.) 07:44
ShimmerFairy For the record, I still think pragmas should have separate 'yes'/'no' keywords, and that modules being 'no'd doesn't seem to make sense to me, at least in P6-land
(and user-defined pragmas, as I understand them, are just slangs for Perl 6. No need to confuse module loading and compiler pragmas, in my opinion) 07:45
I've always thought 'use' for enabling pragmas was weird, btw, I just didn't know the P5 legacy reasons until recently :) 07:49
07:52 abraxxa joined
moritz ShimmerFairy: I don't find it weird, because there are no clear-cut limits between pragmas and "real" modules 07:53
ShimmerFairy moritz: to me, pragmas have always been compiler flags, more or less. I don't think user-defined ones have been possible until recently, whenever slangs appeared. 07:54
especially since P6 at least currently has no idea what 'no' means for modules, IIUC, so the 'no' disabling keyword is purely a pragma thing. 07:55
RabidGravy yeah, after all if one was to make a user defined "pragma" you'd almost certainly have to "use" the implementation at which point having to do something else to activate it becomes a bit redundant
nine FWIW most pragmas in Perl 5 nowadazs are really user defined modules. 07:56
The same will probably be true for Perl 6 at one point.
ShimmerFairy I'm just so used to pragmas being just a collection of flags handled by Grammar.nqp that the idea of them being module-like is crazy talk to me :P 07:57
nine In Perl 5 I use common::sense; in all my code that does use strict; use warnings; use utf8; yada yada for me 07:58
RabidGravy It's possible that the term "pragma" isn't particularly useful
"pragmatic module" may work better

ShimmerFairy At the very least, I'd appreciate a divide between compiler flags and modules of any kind :) 08:01

ShimmerFairy (not that it's a big deal for me either way, esp. at this point in P6 development. It's more one of those "would be nice" sorts of things for me ☺) 08:02
RabidGravy ShimmerFairy, I'd probably agree with you
mohij_mobile .tell tadzik I'm thinking about creating a plenv lookalike for Perl 6.Do you think it's a good idea to do it in perl5 (instead of bash)? Would it make sense to integrate this into rakudobrew or would a separate package be better?
yoleaux mohij_mobile: I'll pass your message to tadzik.
mohij_mobile .tell tadzik: Pros for perl: Works on Windows/BSD/..., that's what rakudobrew is written in. Pros for bash: Small startup time, same as all the other *env things. 08:04

RabidGravy mohij_mobile, lot's of people use p5 on windows, the vast majority use a packaged build such as strawberry perl
pink_mist mohij_mobile: I'm not thinking the issue is one of userbase, but rather a technical issue ... granted I'm not clear on exactly how a plenv works, but will it actually be able to do the same things in a windows shell? doesn't it need to do some subshells to set env variables? how will that even work?
10:08 pullphinger left
mohij_mobile pink_mist: plenv uses shims to delegate to the respective executables. Rakudobrew does that already (and also on windows). 10:10
pink_mist oh I see, then carry on :P 10:11
mohij_mobile Possible caveat: I am pretty sure one has to put filename suffixes on all the shims to make windows atomatically pick the correct interpreter (no shebang support on windows)
10:13 llfourn joined
RabidGravy yes, it has to be either .BAT or .CMD on windows 10:13
(assuming you want it run under the default command shell) 10:14
mohij_mobile RabidGravy: or .pl if using Perl proves to be feasable.
RabidGravy assuming that the installed perl added the association of course 10:15
mohij_mobile One can set Ending -> Interpreter mappings, if I remember correctly Strawberrry does that by default.
pink_mist does perl6 depend on perl5 anyway? or would one need to install perl5 in order to make use of pl6env? 10:16
RabidGravy yeah see "assoc" I think it's called, or do it with powershell
moritz pink_mist: rakudo depends on perl 5 at run time
pink_mist: erm, sorry, at configure time
pink_mist: and for building; but not for running
pink_mist right, and pl6env will need to be building and configuring its perl6es anyway, so I guess that doesn't matter for this then =) 10:17
mohij_mobile I am still thinking about what a good workflow on windows could look like (assuming Inline::Perl5 will be required in the forseable future). Strawberrry -> rakudobrew -> Perl6 is the best I could come up with up to now.
Custom perl5 versions are missing in that workflow though. Could be a tough one to create a plenv in Perl though... :-( 10:19
andreoss can i have immutable array? 10:21

08:04Z <mohij_mobile> tadzik: Pros for perl: Works on Windows/BSD/..., that's what rakudobrew is written in. Pros for bash: Small startup time, same as all the other *env things.
tadzik mohij_mobile: well, apart from its name rakudobrew is much more like plenv than perlbrew :)
mohij_mobile: what do you want to create that rakudobrew isn't? 10:23
mohij_mobile that's what I'm thinking :-)
I'm mostly interested in local/.perl-version support
tadzik what's that? 10:24
mohij_mobile But if it turns out easy I'd go for full pl* command support.
put a .perl-version file with the version number you want in a folder and when you are in that folder that version of perl is automagically used

ShimmerFairy moritz: I don't think they should decont, since their entire point is to not force anything into item/list/hash/etc. context :) 12:51
andreoss why does .gist now describes lists as (a b c) without commas? 12:53
ShimmerFairy the brackets are to more clearly show nested list structure without resorting to .perl 12:54
the still-space-separation is because it'd look noisier with commas, at the least for a .gist 12:55
andreoss oh. actually it was without brackets before, sorry
moritz there'a always .perl too
dalek ast: 6104874 | hoelzro++ | S17-lowlevel/lock.t:
Fix TODO test for RT #124793

This test suffers from a multithreading bug known as "lost wakeup". A lost wakeup situation occurs when you have one thread signaling a condition variable, and another waiting on it. What happens is that the signal happens before the wait, and the thread waiting waits for a signal that will never come. Normally, it occurs because one side forgot to lock the mutex guarding the condition variable. However, since conditional variables are typically used to guard resources whose condition changes, it can still occur when using locks. The solution was to have the waiting thread check an artificial resource for readiness, and the signaling thread to make that artificial resource ready.		 12:56
synbot6 Link: rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display...?id=124793
hoelzro where is the source for dalek? 12:57
ShimmerFairy hoelzro: is that why lock.t always failed for me when I set TEST_JOBS ?
hoelzro ShimmerFairy: that's a separate reason
FROGGS RabidGravy: are you doing 'require Foo' or 'require "Foo.pm"'?
hoelzro but I believe I know why that is too
RabidGravy require Foo
hoelzro lock.t calls $t1.join...but join() is not a method on Thread 12:58
it's a method on Any
FROGGS RabidGravy: hmmm, sad, I was hoping for the opposite
hoelzro which is just self.list.join
FROGGS RabidGravy: though, that sounds solvable
12:58 Ven joined
hoelzro so Thread.^find_method('join') doesn't actually do anything thread-related 12:58
RabidGravy it definitely is the circular inclusion thing
hoelzro should I change the test to use finish instead of join, or add Thread.join as a synonym to Thread.finish? 12:59
I'm leaning towards the latter
RabidGravy I removed the offending use out of the file that I was trying to require and it all works

dalek kudo/nom: fd8b378 | hoelzro++ | src/core/Thread.pm:
Add Thread.join as an alias for Thread.finish

A lot of people from other programming environment backgrounds will likely try Thread.join, and get very confused when it compiles and runs but does not synchronize. Also, the chances of wanting to perform a string join with a thread is low		 13:10
timotimo maybe we should have Any be one step further down a derivation chain and having something a bit less magicy derived from Mu and have that as the type restriction for most things ... 13:14
moritz we have that already, it's called Cool 13:15
we're just not consequent in putting stuff into Cool instead of Any
13:15 salva left
timotimo oh? 13:18
ShimmerFairy On the other hand, if you were to move stuff to Cool, then classes still interested in those would have to inherit _everything_ Cool does. I wonder what methods on Any could be put in Cool but shouldn't force a user to 'is' Cool.
timotimo well, join is something to use with lists and Any is for things that are elements, but can act like lists
moritz or we could just stop pretending that Any is a one-element list 13:19
13:20 muraiki joined
ShimmerFairy I don't think I'd mind that, but would it break anything major? 13:20
moritz nothing major, just many details 13:21
ShimmerFairy (I think just stuff like Any.List -> List.new(self) would be sufficient if we were to stop pretending)
moritz for example, currently list.pick returns the picked element, not a one-element list
and that currently DWIMs both when used as an element and a list 13:22
ShimmerFairy Without knowing any of the nasty details underneath such a change, I think I'd like a greater distinction between items and lists, and specifically not confusing items and singular lists :) 13:24
FROGGS ShimmerFairy: you'd have to convince TimToady then :o)
ShimmerFairy FROGGS: Like I just said, I'm nowhere near qualified to do that :P

ShimmerFairy It's never bothered me, really, I'm just saying that the idea of making lists and items distincter has possibly a nice sound to it :) 13:25

shinobi-cl Hi, i wrote a module some time ago, havent tested with latest releases and only with Rakudo... This GLR has anything to do with modules? Or more with core Perl6 functionality? 13:47

FROGGS ugexe: hmmm, I guess I'd need an example or spectest...
RabidGravy shinobi-cl, it would be prudent to test the module against the glr-ed rakudo
ugexe FROGGS: additionally the module in question is *already loaded*, i.e. was being used by the module trying to precompile it 13:48
FROGGS ugexe: ohh well, that's a problem 13:49
ugexe ill try to dig up the problem bit of code if i can find it and golf it down sometime
FROGGS ugexe: also moarvm remembers CUs by path
ugexe i see. so if one were to monkey-type CURLI so they could access %!dists (%dist{$path} = module) and change something it would likely not work? 13:52
FROGGS I don't understand the connection of monkey-patching a built-in class and precompiling some random module... 13:53

[Coke] so, in re: august release - My recommendation is that we skip the august release, concentrate on getting glr merged back to mainline and removing the deprecations for the september release. 14:27
since we've already -basically- skipped it, let's just officially skip it.
then we can focus on moving forward instead of trying to catch up. 14:28
ShimmerFairy The only reason I heard for one was to have a recent-ish nom release to have sit on the channel after glr is merged, but then again you don't need a release to set that up :)
muraiki all I've done for rakudo is to find a few bugs, so I have no experience with making a release. but as a user I think that's a reasonable course of action 14:29
