15:47 dotplus ouch. embarassing.
21:37 pdurbin sivoais: so did Perl 6 ship or not? following up from http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse/2016-01-22#i_30086
21:37 pdurbin I was looking at some stuff the other day that seem to indicate that the *spec* is frozen.
21:43 sivoais yep, that's exactly what the release was: a spec and test suite
21:43 sivoais :-D
21:44 pdurbin and that's what was expected?
21:44 sivoais The idea was once Christmas rolls around, the language APIs won't change in ways that drastically break your code
21:44 sivoais So now they are committing to back compat, iiuc
21:45 sivoais It was if you were around the #perl6 channel ;-) But I understand that is not what people expect if they are outside the Perl 6 community
21:45 pdurbin I guess I was expecting something more than "Installing from source" at http://perl6.org/downloads/
21:46 sivoais Ah, what you want is Rakudo Star. That is the name of the distribution that gets released each month.
21:46 sivoais Rakudo Star releases have been out each month for several years now
21:47 sivoais But I'm using that install from source tool: rakudobrew
21:47 pdurbin I assume someday there will be binaries. Like at https://golang.org/dl/
21:47 pdurbin not everyone is on gentoo ;)
21:48 sivoais There are for Windows, but I think the lastest haven't been built yet. And I think Debian has packages already.
21:48 pdurbin gotcha
21:49 pdurbin hey can you download swift binaries yet? for linux?
21:49 sivoais hmm, haven't checked
21:49 pdurbin it seems to be a mac-only thing still. requires xcode: https://developer.apple.com/swift/resources/
21:50 pdurbin anyway, a friend was telling me how nice swift is
21:50 sivoais <https://swift.org/download/#latest-development-snapshots>
21:51 sivoais There are Ubuntu binaries there ^
21:51 pdurbin sivoais: your search fu is strong. stronger than mine or even searchbot I suspect.
21:52 sivoais oh hahah
22:43 sivoais ah, update from today: Rakudo Star binary release has been pushed to the 1st week of February <https://www.facebook.com/groups/1595443877388632/permalink/1690576654542020/>
