tbrowder i'm trying to install raku on an ubuntu host but i'm not real familiar with ubuntu. what's the preferred way to install the latest raku on ubuntu? 01:50
Guest58 tbrowder there is the rakudo compiler, just install it 01:57
tbrowder i know, but it’s old, i want the latest raku 01:59
avuserow tbrowder: nxadm has some prebuilt packages at cloudsmith.io/~nxadm-pkgs/repos/ra.../packages/ 02:08
you should be able to add that repo and then apt-get install the appropriate one 02:09
I see debian ones, maybe those would work
otherwise I would look for a PPA, or use rakubrew

guifa jaugart: let me test that, Intl::CLDR shouldn't have any problem, Immutability is an old submodule that shouldn't be around anymore 10:19
oh wow, yup there's two or three uses of it, but since i had an old copy of immutability on my machine, it didn't cause an error on my end 10:20

Nemokosch github.com/Raku/problem-solving/issues/336 could someone please read the last paragraph of the long 2colours comment at the end? 12:06
That really turned into a "spitting facts" paragraph and I would like to hear others' opinion about it 12:07

Xliff Can you override say()? 13:16
Nemokosch nothing prevents you from it, I think. The question is more, why would you want to, instead of providing string representations for certain data
Xliff TUI 13:17
So how would you do it?
Nemokosch well, just define a proto say for yourself... no? 13:28
or even an only sub, as it suits you 13:29
lexical scoping 13:30
Xliff Ah. Thanks. 13:35
Nemokosch built-ins come from a scope that encloses your compilation unit 13:38
so if you define something with that name, you can just shadow them

Clarify that junction (auto)threading is recursive

It's why we're slapping Mu everywhere, yet not Junction:D, which a reader might assume gets forwarded around in its most literal sense.

Nemokosch What is eigenstate? 13:55
El_Che the state of the eigen 14:07
moritz the values in a junction are its eigenstates 14:10
so any(1, 2, 3) => the eigenstates are (1, 2, 3)
El_Che ethymologie: partial translation of German eigenstand, from eigen- + stand state, condition 14:11
how convinient, moritz, how convinien

japhb I suspect the more proximate history is a reference to eigenvalues and eigenvectors in linear algebra. 15:37

tbrowder one more question about rakudo star installation on Windows: preference on Choclatey or Scoop? 15:55
[Coke] I think I used choclately once and it was OK, but I typically build from source, sorry 15:57
16:06 mcmillhj left
Nemokosch I'm pretty sure eigenstates have only obscure relation (if at all) to eigenvectors and eigenvalues 16:10

smol-hors how can I make a hash compare keys with eqv? 17:13
nevermind it was an xy problem 17:20
and I figured out the x
Nemokosch I wonder if you can do that at all 17:21
But yeah consider value types
Like ValueList

smol-hors well here's my aoc day 9 problem 1 anyway github.com/esnk86/aoc22/blob/main/09/main.raku 🦋 18:01
18:02 reportable6 joined
lucs I like the idea of having (I'll be simplifying a bit here) a file "myscript.raku" that just has "use My::Module", where MyModule.rakumod has the MAIN() function. 18:40
But it seem that if I want a custom USAGE() function, it's not found if it's in the module file, but it is, if in the script file. 18:41

How can I have it in the module file?
gfldex <@212055773407215616> did you try to put the proto MAIN into the module? 18:50
moritz iirc MAIN is designed to *only* run in the top-level script 18:57

tbrowder .tell [Coke] i get the aspell.t error on Ubuntu, too. 19:44
tellable6 tbrowder, I'll pass your message to [Coke]
lucs moritz: Turns out MAIN can get invoked the way I described it, but... 19:46
gfldex: ... I'm trying to reproduce the problem with two simple (kind of golfed) files to demonstrate the problem (where the module has a ï½¢proto sub MAIN (|) is export {*}ï½£ line), but something weird is going on, and the script hangs. 19:48
Will fix that first, and report then.

guifa Xliff: you can override it by wrapping it 20:03
tellable6 guifa, I'll pass your message to Xliff
guifa It just depends on whether you want it to be global or local

lucs Can someone kindly go to the trouble of making those files from my gist and tell me if it works for them? 20:22
20:30 jpn left
Nahita lucs: i do "raku myscript.raku" and get "USAGE() in myscript.raku" as the output 20:30
lucs <@836605577400549436> Aha. Good. That is the expected result. 20:32
I have no idea why it hangs here, strange.
Now, given that, is it possible to have USAGE() in the module file? 20:34
<@836605577400549436> Also: thanks for trying it.
Nahita np, if you mean uncommenting the USAGE sub in MyModule.rakumod, no it did not trigger; again i did "raku myscript.raku" and get "USAGE() in myscript.raku" as the output 20:37
20:39 jpn joined
lucs And if you comment out the one in myscript, but leave the one in the module uncommented, there will be no output, correct? 20:39
Nahita no custom output yes; the default Usage message appears like "Usage: myscript.raku <foo>" 20:45
20:45 jpn left
lucs Oh, correct, yeah, I forgot, the default USAGE kicks in. 20:46
