| masak | I was hesitant over xx being thunky at first, but now I use it all the time, and it's very ergonomic | 18:39 | |
| jnthn++ suggests that if someone is using an unquote in a `for` loop, they're probably intentional enough that they don't deserve a "Single Evaluation Rule" warning | 18:40 | ||
| lucasb | don't you think thunky xx breaks the "similar things should look similar and different things should look different" principle? | 18:43 | |
| do you see the similarity between "rand xx 3" and "rand x 3"? | 18:44 | ||
| and you want one to be thunky while the other isn't? | |||
| masak | never thought about it that way | 18:46 | |
| lucasb | ah, I'm talking about P6. just making comments... I know design ships have sailed already. I'm not trying changing anything :-) | 18:47 | |
| masak | it is strange, now that you mention it | ||
| lucasb | did you see my comment about it in #perl6-dev? | 18:48 | |
| masak | ...no | ||
| url? :) | |||

| unfortunately, the :thunked adverb isn't a thing anymore | 18:50 | ||
| can't turn-off thunkiness with "rand xx 3 :!thunked" | |||
| masak | also, there's a design rule says if you want a negative adverb/named like that, you're probably on the wrong track | 19:00 | |
| lucasb: reading | 19:01 | ||
| lucasb: ...you do know that && is thunky as well, do you? :) | |||
| lucasb | oh nose. I did not haha | 19:02 | |
| masak | but I agree with you in principle that x should be thunky too | 19:09 | |
| might be a case where we grudgingly follow Perl 6's (and Python's) lead, though | 19:10 | ||
| && (and || and //) are "zero-or-one" thunky in their rhs. xx is "zero-or-more" thunky in its lhs. | 19:11 | ||
