Nemokosch > multi f(1 --> -1) {} 09:53
if this is a syntax error but with `1 --> 1` it isn't, how am I supposed to mark a negative return value?
09:54 lichtkind joined
lizmat that's an interesting one 09:57
it's purely a parsing issue
m: my constant minusone = -1; sub a(--> minusone) { }; dd a 09:58
camelia -1
lizmat if there isn't an issue for it yet, one should be made I think
Nemokosch yes, I used pretty much the same workaround 😄 10:00
I will check on it but first I want to get the overall thing working 10:02
okay, another interesting unexpected phenomenon 10:08
adding a type notation for a parameter messes up the dispatch order for multis 10:10
lizmat ? example? 10:23
10:30 neither left 10:31 Geth left, Geth joined
Nemokosch Hm, this has something to do with the type coercion as well... 10:39
Okay, I still don't really know how dispatching for constant values happens 10:45
it's not really smartmatching because f('0') doesn't actually get dispatched to f(0)
gist.github.com/2colours/999dc5b37...99430d6479 this works as intended 10:49
if I change the third multi clause to `multi möbius(Int() $n) {`, it takes priority at dispatching, hence breaks the outcome
10:50 neither joined
MasterDuke what if you put `is default` on the literal 1 multi? 10:51
Nemokosch won't help 10:55
not when the input is 5 😛
if the input is 1 then it works even without `is default` 10:56
lizmat m: sub a(0) { dd }; a 0 10:57
camelia sub a(0)
Nemokosch so yeah one could say the type notation takes priority over the value constraint
lizmat m: sub a("0") { dd }; a 0
camelia Type check failed in binding to parameter '<anon>'; expected Str but got Int (0)
in sub a at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
lizmat m: say 0 eqv '0' 10:58
camelia False
Nemokosch Seems like IntStr can be dispatched to an integer constant since that's what I'm doing 10:59
lizmat m: say 0 ~~ <0> 11:00
camelia True
lizmat m: say <0> ~~ 0
camelia True
11:20 wingfold joined
tbrowder howdy. anyone know of a raku existing or wip module to work with couchdb? there seem to be several perl modules on cpan which could be a good start. 11:41
Nemokosch I'm gonna add a Rakudo issue for negative numeric literals as function return values 11:49

Is there a way one can exit a block which is not a routine? Something like ‘return’ but for blocks? I’d like to have a condition for exiting early, and I’d like to avoid putting the block’s contents in a nested ‘if’ statement (or similar). 21:12
lizmat m: leave 21:16
camelia leave not yet implemented. Sorry.
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
lizmat Tirifto ^^ 21:17
it was thought of to have a "leave" statement
Nemokosch `when` can still help I guess?
lizmat but nobody so far has really seen the need for it, as wrapping something in a sub and using return will give you the same 21:18
21:20 discord-raku-bot left, discord-raku-bot joined
Tirifto lizmat: Ah, right, I accidentally ran into that error few days ago, but wasn’t sure what the intended purpose was. I guess prefixing with ‘sub’ might be the cleaner solution then. 21:20

lizmat indeed 21:21
guifa m: my $a = 5; NOT-LOOP: { last NOT-LOOP if $a < 10; say "nope" }; say "done"
camelia labeled last without loop construct
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
guifa meh, worth a shot
Tirifto @Nemokosch#9980: ‘when’ doesn’t exit in statement modifier form though, so you still have to nest another block, right? 21:22
21:24 euandreh left
Tirifto (Oh, actually it wouldn’t be the issue of the statement modifier but what might come before it. >_<) 21:26
21:26 lichtkind_ joined
moon-child well, you could say NOT-LOOP: for ^1 { ... }, giving effectively the same result 21:29
21:29 lichtkind left
moon-child and, following the abov,e you could say NOT-LOOP: for ^$condition { ... } 21:29
if $condition is false, the range will be empty and the loop will not be entered
Nemokosch I didn't understand it 21:38
my example was complete in the sense that I tried to give exactly equivalent one-liners
`when` causes the surrounding block to terminate if the condition is true. indeed it needs a block - but who said we have to put anything inside? 😉 21:39
actually I'm almost sure I've used this "pattern" before 21:40
21:49 monkey_ left, Xplorator left 21:51 n1to left 22:03 euandreh joined
Tirifto @Nemokosch#9980: Oh right, I could just invert the condition and use that! I guess a sub is more ‘proper’, but this would be pretty elegant, too. 22:04
