Geth MoarVM: coke self-assigned [Windows] Configure fails when path in --prefix doesn't exist github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/issues/60
coke self-unassigned closing of old issues 41, 54, 60, 66, maybe 67 ? github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/issues/681

Nicholas good *able6, #moarvm 06:52
timo interesting, thanks MasterDuke 09:06
lizmat and yet another Rakudo Weekly News hits the Net: rakudoweekly.blog/2022/01/31/2022-05-foo-is-42/ 13:06
lizmat I'm stumped with windows CI for the following code: 13:18
use ValueList; my @a is ValueList = ^10; my @b is ValueList = ^10; 13:19
it crashes while compiling, but *only* on Windows
trying to determine if it is an issue with Windows or the CI on Windows
see github.com/lizmat/ValueList/action...1772446095 for the minimal failure case 13:20
MasterDuke weekly: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30145029 and blog.openresty.com/en/ylang-intro-...ementation 15:20
notable6 MasterDuke, Noted! (weekly)
lizmat the odd thing is that there is no overview of the differences between fanlang and raku 15:28
MasterDuke well, i think it's just an implementation detail for them 15:30
agentzh has mentioned some of the differences a while ago in irc 15:31
patrickb o/ 15:38
There is: doc.openresty.com/en/plus/fanlang/ 15:39
lizmat no multi dispatch feels like can we even call this Raku? 15:40
I mean, how can operators in fanlang work without it ? 15:41
patrickb I think it's fair. They named it a Raku dialect. For me that definitely includes any language that implements a clear subset of Raku. 15:42
If they implemented a lot of functionality that is *not* found in Raku, then I'd have said that "inspired by" would be a better description. But it's a pretty clean subset. (At least that's what I understand from the description.) 15:45
MasterDuke i assume just a single candidate that has a given/when that handles the different types
lizmat well, no way to check I guess, as it isn't open source ? 15:47
MasterDuke i don't believe it is currently.iirc agentzh talked about maybe opening it up, but i don't think it was a major goal of theirs 15:48
patrickb I'd imagine that there will be some way to access fan lang as soon as it's part of openresty, i.e. a language that can be used by others. ATM it's not public at all. Only used internally.
I read something about plans to allow writing OpenResty apps in fanlang. 15:49
Geth MoarVM: nwc10++ created pull request #1660:
Bump the mimiumum support serialization format to 23.
17:51
vrurg How come nqp::istype(Str, Str:D) can be false in Raku code, but is true in dispatcher code?? 22:24
timo vrurg: i hope this isn't it, but related to containers?! 22:52
vrurg No. But I just've realized a few seconds ago that it wasn't Str typeobject but a concrete string. Asynchronous output from NQP and Raku contributed to the confusion. 22:54
