Re: Upcoming documentation meetings
Team - I'm going to cancel the call scheduled for this Saturday - we've had great success in the past month coordinating via email (last resort), and irc and github (preferred). We've made a lot of progress, got the site live, closed/transferred probably 50+ tickets, setup milestones on raku/doc & raku/doc-website with quarterly goals to prioritize the tickets. Thanks to everyone making the docs work a success - if you'd like to volunteer, please stop by on IRC to chat, or reach out to me directly via email.

Team - I missed the call! My back has been troubling me the last day after traveling for business this week and I spent the day unplugged and half asleep.

You've presumably updated your copy of Rakudo in that time, and Rakudo
has started declaring that something is deprecated.
The error message tells you what is now deprecated (status), what you
should use instead, and when it will be removed. I assume your Run
BTW, depreciated is a financial term, this is deprecated, no "i".

Deprecation warning (not error) messages are emitted only when the
program exits, though the docs could make this clearer.
This is to avoid the warnings interleaving with any other program output.
See https://docs.raku.org/routine/is%20DEPRECATED for an example of
how you can add deprecated messages to your own code.
See
https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/54f1b7a5f22c03b301809667c18cef00d6b1df39/src/core.c/Proc.pm6#L204

Re: I need a second pair of eyes
Part of framing the question in the first place is reducing the problem code to as small a subset as possible that still exhibits the problem. Often, in the course of doing this "golfing", you'll uncover the problem yourself.

Re: the state of the build and install instructions
I think it's out of date, yes. Need a "make install" to install the binaries (by default to ./install). Previous versions of the build left a copy in ./perl6 but that hasn't been the case for a while. Thanks for the ping, we'll open a ticket to get INSTALL.txt updated.

Re: Exactly what is type match?
"Match objects are the result of a successful regex match, this does
include any zero-width match. They store a reference to the original
string (.orig), positional and named captures, the positions of the
start and end of the match in the original string, and a payload
referred to as AST (abstract syntax tree), which can be used to build
data structures from complex regexes and grammars." -
https://docs.perl6.org/type/Match
When you say $0, you're using the Match. If you want the Str version,
explicitly cast it to Str with:
~$0
or
$0.Str
Regards.

Even simple web application development falls in that category. This decision can be outsourced to the community (as this thread shows).

(The bundling is much more relevant for students/personal development) I think a more helpful approach is to move on the CPAN approach and then use existing tools for recommendations/ratings, etc. Finally, as I recall, Perl 6 made a deliberate decision not to bundle as much in core as Perl 5, and to push out these decisions about what is a useful group of modules to the community anyway - which I am glad to see is happening here. > Gabor > http://perl6maven.com/ -- Will "Coke" Coleda

Re: Bug report for Crypt::Bcrypt - cannot install
Looks like you already found the dependency that is failing:
https://github.com/FROGGS/p6-if/issues/2
The original module doesn't have a bug queue, and I don't think we
have a community solution to authors that don't have bugqueues.
(except to kindly ask them to enable them)

Re: Perl 5 list assignment idiom
Works the same in Perl 6, and you can avoid the parens. Using helper
subs that return one or two item lists, here's some sample code:
$ perl6
> sub one-thing { return ("hi",) }
sub one-thing () { #`(Sub|140454852043936) ... }
> 1 == my $script = one-thing
True
> $script
(hi)
> sub two-things { return }
sub two-things () { #`(Sub|140454852044088) ... }
> 1 == my $bar = two-things
False
> $bar
(hi there)

Re: Install Drive on Windows
Rakudo isn't relocatable (yet)- you cannot move it to a different install directory and have it still work, so when doing a build for the installer, C: is the only reasonable default. Please watch https://github.com/rakudo/star/issues/10 (which specifically mentions parrot, which rakudo no longer uses, but I think the current infrastructure suffers from a similar issue) Regards.

Re: pod question
Not true, '=for' is part of POD6. See below.

Re: can Perl 6 bootstrap itself
Bennet is correct. If you're buildilng from source, you'll need perl5 and make (and git if you don't have a tarball to work from) If you're using MoarVM backend, you'll need a C compiler, and javac for the JVM backend. Note that Perl 6 is implemented mostly in Perl 6 and NQP (Not Quite Perl 6), but only NQP is bootstrapped.

Specifically not addressing the "should it be on the most wanted list or not still" question, but: panda can't really tell if a module is "good", only if it's installable. Seems like a README in the project repo is a good start here. (and maybe something similar in the MW list). Or perhaps a version convention. I'm sure we can crib some notes from the perl 5 ecosystem here about determining if a module has quality.

Re: release?
There isn't a 6.0.0 as such. Perl 6's language specification, versioned 6.c (aka Christmas) was released; at the same time, the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, version 2015.12 was released, which is the most up to date implementation of this specification. The specification is intended to have only minor changes in 6.c going forward; the next version (6.d, no specific release date planned) will likely have more involved changes. In the meantime, an implementation that supports 6.c is free to change internals or parts of the language that were not explicitly part of the 6.c specification. Future versions of the compiler may have support for multiple versions of the specification that can be handled with a lexical "use v6.c" to get old behavior once the spec changes. Finally, Rakudo * is a distribution that includes the compiler and multiple modules; Look for this bundled release of the 2015.12 Rakudo in the next few days.

Announce: Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, Development Release #94 (“коледа”)
requires a declaration of 'use MONKEY-SEE-NO-EVAL'
+ Make pack and unpack experimental
+ Dynamic variables are now visible inside start { ... } blocks
+ Autoincrements on native ints are now faster than on Int
+ The ~~ operator can now chain with other comparisons in many circumstances
+ Various numeric operations now return overflow/underflow failures instead
of wrong value
+ The :ss, :ii, and :mm options to s/// now all work together
This is only a partial list of the changes in this release. For a more
detailed list, see “docs/ChangeLog”.
The development team thanks all of our contributors and sponsors for
making Rakudo Perl possible, as well as those people who worked on
the design docs, the Perl 6 test suite, MoarVM and the specification.
Additionally, the Pugs, Parrot, and Niecza projects were all instrumental
with their contributions to the specification and the community.
The following people contributed to the development of the Christmas release;
We’ve gone back through the logs of all the various projects. Thanks to
everyone who has worked to make this release happen over the past 15 years. We
would also like to thank everyone who submitted bug reports or dropped in on
the various forums to discuss things. Finally, we’d like to extend a special
thanks to everyone who we accidentally left out of this list.

What should be the perl6 idiom for handling debug code?
I am writing a program that will be run with large values and take some
time when it is clear that it is running correctly.
In order to ensure that the program is correct, I have added code to
generate and output intermediate results. I do not want this code to be
compiled for the large values. At the same time, I don't want to eliminate
the code in case the intermediate results will be needed again. I have
previously handled this situation by commenting out the debug code, but
this leads to problems when I want it back.
My first thought was:
constant DEBUG = True;
BEGIN { if DEBUG {
# code generating intermediate results
}
}
But then this fails in this context
class A {
has $.a is rw;
BEGIN { if DEBUG {
has @.mem-metric;
}
}
has $.b;
# etc etc etc
method reset {
@.mem-metric = ()
}
}
I actually got Null PMC access in find_method('mem-metric')
without a line number to indicate at what point the compilation got
stopped, which indicates that this is a bug rather than a syntax error.
However, I was wondering whether there was another way to achieve the
same effect. Possible using POD as an extension of just commenting out the
code?

Re: Perl 6 / Rakudo unicode code point ranges
The code points giving you trouble are 0xFDD0..0xFDEF: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5188679/whats-the-purpose-of-the-noncharacters-ufdd0-to-ufdef You can split this into two ranges to avoid the problematic points (and could use this to combine the distinct ranges you have above.) $ perl6 -e 'say ?(\c[0xFDCF] ~~ /[\c[0xE000]..\c[0xFDCF]\c[0xFDF0]..\c[0xFFFD]]/)' True Note that if you have invalid UTF-8 input, though, you'll still get the invalid character error, so you'll need to deal with that before trying to use the rule. $ perl6 -e 'say ?(\c[0xFDD0] ~~ /[\c[0xE000]..\c[0xFDCF]\c[0xFDF0]..\c[0xFFFD]]/)' ===SORRY!=== Invalid character for UTF-8 encoding Hope this helps.

According to the UsingPerl6 draft document, *%hash slurps all the

The key here is named arguments; You've invoked the speakhash sub
with positional args.
Try this:
sub speakhash (*%hash) {

}
speakhash(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4, e = 5, f = 6);
So, it looks to me as though the arguments given to the speakhash()
subroutine should be slurped into %hash. Regardless, it strikes me as
odd that Rakudo* seems to think that the subroutine should expect *0*
arguments.
The error message is potentially confusing, yes.
So... clearly there's a problem here, but I'm not sure if it's with
Rakudo* or with my thinking. :-)
Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated.

Announce: Rakudo Perl 6 compiler development release #31 (Atlanta)
On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I'm happy to announce the
July 2010 development release of Rakudo Perl #31 Atlanta.
Rakudo is an implementation of Perl 6 on the Parrot Virtual Machine
(see http://www.parrot.org). The tarball for the July 2010 release
is available from http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/downloads.
Please note: This is not the Rakudo Star release, which is scheduled
for July 29, 2010 [1]. The Star release will include the compiler, an
installer, modules, a book (PDF), and more.
The Rakudo Perl compiler follows a monthly release cycle, with each release
named after a Perl Mongers group. The July 2010 release is code named
Atlanta in recognition of Atlanta.pm and their Perl 5 Phalanx project [2],
which they selected for its benefits to Perl 6.
Some of the specific changes and improvements occurring with this
release include:
* Rakudo now properly constructs closures in most instances.
* Undefined objects can now autovivify into arrays or hashes when
subscripted with .[ ] or .{ } .
* Arrays can now handle infinite ranges.
* Generic, multi-level Whatever-currying now works, e.g. (1, 1, *+* ... *).
* The REPL shell now remembers lexical declarations in susbsequent lines.
* The open() subroutine now returns a Failure instead of throwing
a fatal exception.
* Rakudo now provides $*ARGFILES for reading from files specified
on the command line.
* Added $*PERL, moved %*VM to $*VM.
* Simple binding operators := and ::= now work.
* Simple feed operators == and == now work.
For a more detailed list of changes see docs/ChangeLog.
The development team thanks all of our contributors and sponsors for
making Rakudo Perl possible, as well as those people who worked on parrot, the
Perl 6 test suite and the specification.
The following people contributed to this release:
Patrick R. Michaud, Jonathan Worthington, Moritz Lenz, Solomon Foster,
Carl Masak, Bruce Gray, Martin Berends, chromatic, Will Coke Coleda,
Matthew (lue), Timothy Totten, maard, Kodi Arfer, TimToady, Stephen Weeks,
Patrick Abi Salloum, snarkyboojum, Radu Stoica, Vyacheslav Matjukhin,
Andrew Whitworth, cognominal, Tyler Curtis, Alex Kapranoff, Ingy döt Net,
Lars Dɪᴇᴄᴋᴏᴡ 迪拉斯, mathw, lue, Вячеслав Матюхин
If you would like to contribute, see http://rakudo.org/how-to-help, ask on
the perl6-compi...@perl.org mailing list, or ask on IRC #perl6 on freenode.
The next release of Rakudo (#32) is scheduled for August 19, 2010.
A list of the other planned release dates and code names for 2010 is
available in the docs/release_guide.pod file. In general, Rakudo
development releases are scheduled to occur two days after each
Parrot monthly release. Parrot releases the third Tuesday of each month.
Have fun!

Re: OT: wiki engine architecture
To bring this back around to the implementation portion in an effort
to get back on topic..
There are also sample grammars (for those who like samples in
addition to docs) available in the parrot source tree, e.g.:
http://svn.perl.org/parrot/trunk/compilers/tge/TGE/Parser.pg
http://svn.perl.org/parrot/trunk/languages/APL/lib/APLGrammar.pg
(view as utf-8)
http://svn.perl.org/parrot/trunk/languages/punie/lib/punie.pg
While these are using parrot directly, the PGE (Parrot/Perl6 Grammar
Engine) is already a very large subset of valid Perl6 rules
constructs. You could probably write the parser in parrot today, and
then use the same grammar to drive a perl6 (in parrot or otherwise)
implementation.
I would also recommend using kwid as a basis for any markup, given
its current status with pugs/perl6.
