dogbert2 Zoffix: speaking about Rats. It looks as if your commit github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/f6...9933000cb3 might have fixed RT #116423 14:24

dogbert2 jnthn: is stuff like this allowed? 'Thread.start({ say "entering"; require LWP::Simple; say "leaving" })' i.e. require in a thread? 15:17
jnthn dogbert2: Should be OK 15:18
Though hmm, one might race on global merging, but we can protect that if it ain't already
dogbert2 cool, then it might be possible to close, if tests are available, RT #126587 15:19

Geth roast: 3222358fe8 | (Zoffix Znet)++ | S12-introspection/meta-class.t
Spec failed .^find_method/.^lookup

It returns nqp::null, which HLLized to Mu. While that differs from
  `Nil` we return in many other places to indicate "no value", IMO
it's OK to deviate from that convention in lower-level Metamodel code, as we can then rip the benefits of simpler testing of return value (e.g. nqp::isnull(nqp::callmethod(Str.HOW, :name<lookup>, Str, "bar"))) We also use nqp::null in a bunch of other Meta methods, like
  ::Versioning.ver and ::MethodContainer.cache_get		 19:20

Revert "Spec failed .^find_method/.^lookup"

This reverts commit 3222358fe87c5cd1f66aaedef16ecba36d52dbb2.
Just spotted a description in the docs that I like better:
  "If no method can be found, it returns a VM-specific sentinel
value (typically a low-level NULL value)."		 19:24

gfldex jnthn: was it a deliberate choice to have Channel.receive throw instead of returning a Failure? 22:55
timotimo someone could have sent a failure across the channel 22:56

jnthn gfldex: Yes 23:10
Note that for $channel.list { } and whenever $channel { } both handle termination "naturally" by ending the loop. 23:11
