ugexe i'll note zef is able to install modules without being installed itself, allowing faster integration testing results 03:35

nine jdv79: note that I did _not_ say that having multiple versions installed is a broken idea. That people think, they need to do that is broken. You can up- and downgrade rakudo easily and just keep on using your installed modules. And you can have multiple versions of modules installed. 07:31
There's just no need for a normal user to have multiple installations in parallel.
FROGGS nine: multiple installations of rakudo? 07:37
nine FROGGS: yes 07:46
FROGGS well, testers and devs tend to do that 07:47
nine Having multiple versions of modules is obviously quite useful :)
FROGGS aye :o)
jdv79 i'm not sure i get that but ok
nine That's why I said "normal users" :)
jdv79: get what?
jdv79 your whole response i think. are you saying recompiling rakudo to diff versions on the fly is the way to go. 07:52
?
instead of having multiple discrete installs for each version like 'brew is supposed to do?
nine jdv79: yes, because, what's the advantage of having multiple discrete installs that offsets the disadvantage of having to install all your modules again and again? 07:54
jdv79 switching between them in seconds i guess 07:56
maybe:)
its 3am here though so g'nite 07:57
nine But why would a normal user want to do that? We strife for backwards compatibility, so upgrades should be safe.
Good night!
