| antononcube | Why "smart-match against False always fails"? (I saw that error message today.) Where it is documented? | 20:13 | |
| nemokosch | docs.raku.org/type/Bool#method_ACCEPTS | 20:14 | |
| it's not an error; it's a perfect example of being too indecisive | 20:15 | ||
| when uses smart-matching under the hood but somebody thought it should also try to mimic the behavior of if as much as possible | |||
| so smartmatching was deliberately ruined to support this use case | 20:16 | ||
| antononcube | Thank you for your prompt reply! | 20:19 | |
| I get it -- the "strange consistency" strikes again... | 20:24 | ||
| nemokosch | exactly | 20:27 | |
| a backwards abstraction | |||
| librasteve | I guess that the design is to make it possible to isolate code sections during dev 'when False { never runs }' or 'when True {always runs}' in a way that is analogous to 'if True {...}' and 'if False {...}' | 22:22 | |
| since you just can go 'when *.so {}' instead, this seems OK (ish) to me (not ideal, but you get the best of both worlds at the cost of a warning surprise) | 22:25 | ||
| the docs are LTA | |||
