🦋 Welcome to the MAIN() IRC channel of the Raku Programming Language (raku.org). This channel is logged for the purpose of keeping a history about its development | evalbot usage: 'm: say 3;' or /msg camelia m: ... | Log inspection is still being worked out. If you're a beginner, check out the #raku-beginner channel!

moon-child mjgardner: it's only 3 lines long, there's not really anything there to critique! 00:01
mjgardner I suppose, I just didn’t know if there was any more magic Raku operators or whatever I needed to be aware of. I’m just trying to avoid making a fool of myself before I write a post saying, “Look, this is the better version.” 00:03
00:03 reportable6 joined
moon-child a couple of things that you might not know about--I don't think they would improve the script, but as a point of style you might happen to prefer them-- 00:05
@feeds[0] can be written as @feeds.first or @feeds.head
in 'put $_.title, "\t", $_.link', you can leave off the $_ 00:06
or smoosh the whole thing into one string literal: put "$_.title()\t$_.link()" for...
mjgardner Oh right, you can interpolate method calls. 00:07
I think I’ll do without the smooshing, it’s got more punctuation noise. 00:11
moon-child yeah; I would probably prefer that if there were a lot of literal text alongside the interpolated bits, but not just for one character 00:12

Revision of the definition of log2 and log10

Triggered by #3929, I didn't really find the error; however, there were some minor issues with the definition and the grammar. Anyway, this closes #3929.

codesections m: say "this.uc() works"; 15:36
camelia this.uc() works
codesections er, 15:37
6c: say "word.uc() is"; 15:39
committable6 codesections, ¦6c (57 commits): «word.uc() is␤» 15:40
Altreus I don't think that's how it works :D
codesections Odd. Memory must be playing tricks on me. nevermind. 15:41
Altreus you can run methods in interpolation, but only on external objects, which chars within the string are not 15:43
6c: say "{ 'word'.uc() } is" ## maybe this? 15:44
...
committable6 Altreus, ¦6c (57 commits): «WORD is␤»
Altreus !
codesections oh, I remember now. I was thinking of this: 15:45
Altreus m: my $word = 'word'; say "$word.uc() is" ## also this?
camelia WORD is
codesections that
Altreus yeah, the thing has to be being interpolated already :)
codesections indeed, that's what was temporarily slipping my mind 15:46
Altreus I quite like the new rules for interpolation. They make it very simple to separate the parts
m: my $word = 'word'; say "{ $word }.uc() is" ## just text
camelia word.uc() is
Altreus none of this ${ symbol name }, or maybe it was @{ symbol } or oh I've gone crosseyed
codesections indeed. And they make is easy to decide when to create new scopes 15:47
Altreus m: say "{[ <what does this do> ]}"
camelia what does this do
Altreus ehehe
codesections m: for 0..5 { say "$($++) | {$++}" } 15:48
camelia 0 | 0
1 | 0
2 | 0
3 | 0
4 | 0
5 | 0
Altreus that'll presumably be the values of $0, $1 etc? 15:49
or just the value of a variable literally called $++?
m: my $'$++' = ':('

Altreus phew
codesections it's the $ variable in scalar context 15:50
Altreus why is the second half always 0 though 15:51
codesections because {...} creates a new scope, and resets $
gfldex Quote constructs dont share scope.
codesections m: for 0..5 { say "$($++) | {++$}" } 15:52
camelia 0 | 1
1 | 1
2 | 1

any(2, -> ;; $_? is raw = OUTER::<$_> { #`(Block|64390688) ... })

Altreus it's a "block" within the string with its own $

codesections Altreus yep, exactly
Altreus okay, so how come the first one maintains state and the second one doesn't :x
apologies if this is raku 101
I feel like it's more likely to be 301 though 15:54
gfldex i agree
andinus second one is its own block {}
gfldex But then, I'm a Raku beginner since 2008.
Altreus :D
codesections because $(…) *doesn't create a new scope — which makes $(...) handy for things that want to access the outer scope
it's a context, not a block
(like @ or %) 15:55
Altreus ooohh $() *is* the $ from the for block, but {} is a new block each iteration
and that's where the state of $ is held
gfldex m: for 0..5 { say ($($++) , {++$}.()) }
camelia (0 1)
(1 1)
(2 1)
(3 1)
(4 1)
(5 1)
Altreus so $ is basically just "A container for this block to make use of"
codesections yeah, exactly 15:56
docs.raku.org/language/variables#The_$_variable
Altreus nodnod
gfldex m: for 0..5 { say ($($++); say {++$} }

camelia 0

-> ;; $_? is raw = OUTER::<$_> { #`(Block|80142848) ... }

3
-> ;; $_? is raw = OUTER::<$_> { #`(Block|80142992) ...…
gfldex It's a little more complex in this case because the block is stored as a code object. And {} is the thing that created code objects, unless they are in sink context. 15:57
Altreus oh no, I misunderstood slightly - "Each reference to $ within a lexical scope is in effect a separate variable"
So you have as many of them as times you use them because Raku is somehow magic and can identify a variable by where it's used as well as what it's called 15:58
gfldex Anonymous variables are special cased.
Altreus special octarine case 15:59
octiron?
yes, octiron

Altreus ah, put is say without gist behaviour? 16:14
gfldex yes
Altreus oh, say is documented as such
have to remember that in future 16:15
gfldex And gist on lists wont return more then 100 elements. If I where to design assignments for Raku hires (one can dream!), I would make sure to have the fine candidate to output a list with 101 elements. :-> 16:16
Geth doc/master: 5 commits pushed by (JJ Merelo)++ 16:18
Altreus I followed a twitter link from the daily and it segfaulted my browser tab 16:21
lizmat Altreus interesting... which one ? 16:22
Altreus this one, but I think it's generically Twitter sucking rather than the link in particular twitter.com/markjgardner/status/14...4619587584
lizmat yeah, looks like
Altreus It might be due to the number of criminally bad takes on climate change that Twitter thinks I want to see 16:23
Apparently a tweet involving the word "uninformed" means I want to see lots of other uninformed people with a platform
gfldex If you must change the climate, please change it back!
I had to get myself a cosy blanket, jut because we had the windows open. 16:24
Altreus lizmat: you have far more patience on Twitter than I do 16:25
lizmat perhaps.. :-)
