Set by moritz on 22 December 2015.
stevieb reading through some perl6 test suite to learn as I write my own, and am wondering if the line in the following link should say "can call public method from outside the class". I just am trying to confirm what I'm trying to grasp. github.com/perl6/roast/blob/master...vate.t#L17 00:21
Zoffix stevieb, the test calls public `public` that in turn calls a private method from within that class, which is what the test tests 00:23
The call is on line 13
stevieb d'oh! a case of not paying enough attention :) 00:24
so effectively, it's just ensuring that the private method can and is being called, by using a public method. Thanks Zoffix 00:25
tbrowder 'ello p6 people, just attended, at YAPC::NA::2016, a day full of damian waxing wonderfully on p6 trans paradigm programming, and he got us all excited about p6 and p6 grammars 00:42
llfourn tbrowder: can't wait for vid 00:43
Zoffix llfourn, won't be. It's a paid course.
llfourn oh =(
Zoffix He'll be in Toronto for Jun 27 and 28. Maybe you can attend :) 00:44
tbrowder so my question for the experts here is: how can I use p6 grammar to parse a code block and print out a parse tree (a simple example needed)? Damian showed an example of doing such with an example grammar, but how can we do the same thing with a chunk of p6 code? 00:45
llfourn I guess no vid there either?
I'm in australia so It's tricky
Zoffix llfourn, there will be and you can view live through google hangout. 00:46
llfourn oh sweet
llfourn marks the calendar
Zoffix llfourn, this is the first one: www.meetup.com/Toronto-Perl-Mongers...231418224/
And the other one: www.meetup.com/Toronto-Perl-Mongers...231418278/ 00:47
llfourn Zoffix: cheers!
tbrowder I think we need to use nqp, but I'm not positive about it 00:49
llfourn tbrowder: you can do perl6 --target=parse to "print it out"
but if you want to get the nqp match object for actually using in code there is a way 00:50
but it's slightly more involved
tbrowder that's what I want (read: "need to do for debugging p6 grammar") 00:51
Zoffix tbrowder, there's Grammar::Debugger
llfourn ^^ it's *very* useful 00:52
Zoffix tbrowder,
tbrowder, github.com/jnthn/grammar-debugger
tbrowder, inside of it is Grammar::Tracer that's neat
tbrowder thanks, I'll try that...
llfourn tbrowder: oh did you mean you need it for debugging *the* Perl 6 grammar or *a* grammar written in Perl 6? 00:53
tbrowder ref: damian: I (and others) asked him about p6 best practices and his basic reply was he hasn't written enough code to determine that yet, but I was interested specifically in how he call a sub in 06 compared to p5 and he now seems to favor the list approach versus parens (opposite to p5 because of the vagaries of p5); specifically he likes the call using 00:58
the list approach this way for sub foo (which I'm not sure I've seen documented), e.g., "foo: arg1, arg2;" (note the colon introducing the args)
llfourn: *the* Perl 6 grammar 00:59

For the first time, that usage clicked for me.
Doesn't look odd and weird anymore :)
method meth (obj: param) -> meth obj: param 01:08
stevieb I see how that works... took me a minute 01:09
tbrowder well, in my defense he was mainly using methods heavily, and, as usual, i assumed too much
tbrowder Util was there, and he was much smarter and more alert 01:10
llfourn tbrowder: sorry I can't remember how to get a parse tree from Perl6::Gramamr, though I know it's possible. 01:10

tbrowder so what's going on???
llfourn doesn't work for me? 01:17
tbrowder what rakudo? 01:17
geekosaur : is only used with methods, not subs
you have in your example a label "foo:" and a value in sink context (which produces a warning)
llfourn well camelia is usually the latest?
tbrowder got to go to bed, but this is interesting; would appreciate a simple example of testing p6 grammar, g'night! 01:19
llfourn tbrowder: night 01:20
Util geekosaur: ": is only used with methods, not subs" is _almost_ true. 03:36

camelia rakudo-moar 1d93ad: OUTPUT«Type check failed in assignment to ; expected Int but got Rat (3.5)␤ in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1␤␤»
Util In the meantime, your .all solution looks good.
llfourn Util: there has been discussion of making [1,2,3] automatically an array of Int?
psch i don't think we can do that 06:02
types are nominal, after all
llfourn right.
psch which i understand as "you have to tell the compiler what type you want here, or it'll be Any" 06:03
well, in this instance, and practically speaking only
llfourn m: say [1,2,3] ~~ Array[Int] 06:04
camelia rakudo-moar 1d93ad: OUTPUT«False␤»
llfourn I feel like there should be a way of easily creating a runtime test against Array[Int]
like shorthand for say [1,2,3] ~~ subset RuntimeArrayIntTest of Array where { .all ~~ Int } 06:05
Array[Int].subset #maybe? 06:06
psch but [1,2,3] is no Array[Int]. it's Array[Any] 06:06
that's kind of the point, really :)
llfourn yes but I want a quick syntax to create the corresponding runtime check
psch what's wrong about a sub (or two multis) that returns True or False if that check passes? 06:07
stuff it into some List::Util module if you need it that often
llfourn maybe a module is the solution
psch and like, [1,2,3].all({ $_ ~~ Int }) is shorter and does the same
llfourn yeah but it is ugly 06:08
psch doesn't think so 06:08
llfourn doing foo( @a where { .all ~~ Int } ); all the time seems wrong
psch well, alternative you can declare @a as Int @a 06:09
llfourn well, usually the problem occurs for me in attributes
psch and create typed arrays when you need them consistenly
+t
llfourn right the problem is for attribtues not subs 06:09
psch m: class A { has Int @.a }; A.new(a => @ = Array[Int].new(1,2,3)).perl.say 06:10
camelia rakudo-moar 1d93ad: OUTPUT«A.new(a => Array[Int].new(1, 2, 3))␤»
psch alternatively put the ~~ Int check into BUILD
llfourn yeah that's what I want to avoid here :)
psch what? putting it into BUILD? 06:11
llfourn writing runtime type check code
psch then use types consistenly and force your users to use them as well vOv 06:11
llfourn my %h = (:a<1 2 3>); sub (Int :@a) { say @a }.(a => %h<a>) # this roughly approximates the problems I run into
m: my %h = (:a<1 2 3>); sub (Int :@a) { say @a }.(a => %h<a>) # this roughly approximates the problems I run into
camelia rakudo-moar e3a3d2: OUTPUT«Type check failed in binding @a; expected Positional[Int] but got List ($(IntStr.new(1, "1"),...)␤ in sub at <tmp> line 1␤ in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1␤␤»
llfourn I'd rather let my users throw whatever at it and just have runtime checks in some situations. 06:12
psch okay, so you want to have runtime checks but don't want to write them yourself..?
llfourn but I'd like to have a quick way to wip up a runtime check
exactly
psch i mean, i'm sorry but i really don't see the problem
llfourn maybe a module is the solution... 06:13
llfourn well perl 5 has Type::Tiny 06:13
psch i don't see how ~20 chars is not "a quick way to wip (sic) a runtime check"
llfourn for this purpose
because it's declaritive rather than procedural
psch i don't think i agree with that 06:14
llfourn ok well different preferences then :)
psch declarative type checks are when you declare (like, in a signature or declarator) the type
checking the content of an under-typed array during e.g. BUILD looks very procedural to me
llfourn yeah so, sub foo(@a where IntArray) { } is nicer than foo(@a where { .all ~~ Int } 06:15
psch that i think is preference. they do (depending on IntArray) the same thing
llfourn that's all I'm saying -- and since it's a common pattern I might write a module to produce corresponding runtime checks for types like Array[Int] 06:16
psch in any case, i think, specifically regarding Attributes, a trait might look nice for what you're trying
llfourn hmm that's an interesting idea.. 06:17
psch hm, although moving the trait result to the right spot might be a bit difficult 06:25
maybe you'd be better of with a different metaclass that gives you that kind of check for all aggregate Attributes
or maybe just a different metaclass for Attributes 06:26
llfourn I think what I really want is parameterized subset. like has Arrayish[Int] $.a; where Arrayish behaves like Array[Int] in Type::Tiny. 06:27

stevieb getting my hands dirty by slowly writing a module and tests. upon running a test, I get ``Package Log::Simple already has a method _0...'' at t/000-load.t line 17. _0 is a valid method, but I don't understand how it already exists. My tests are scoped in subtests, and each subtest creates a new object. It's the second subtest that barfs. I've fiddled around and can't sort out what's happening. Could someone, if they have the time, 14:03
have a quick peek and point out my err? code flow is ``new().generate-log-methods().add-method()''. Code: github.com/stevieb9/perl6-log-simp...Simple.pm6 Test: github.com/stevieb9/perl6-log-simp...000-load.t
timotimo you shouldn't add methods in the constructor 14:04
timotimo they are added to the type, not to the instance 14:04
so the second time you run new, you'll be re-adding the methods, and correctly get the complaint that the methods are already there 14:05
gfldex unless you test if the method already exists
or you move the adding method stuff into a BEGIN block in the module 14:06
timotimo or if you also create a new class every time
stevieb so, even though the instantiation happens within their own separate scope, the class itself remembers that the new methods have been added? 14:07
timotimo instantiation?
stevieb sorry, object creation
gfldex classes are objects, so what object is created? 14:08
timotimo yeah, the methods you're adding are landing in the type object, which only one exists of
jnthn Objects share a class (well, strictly, a meta-object), and adding a method is an operation on the meta-object.
It's nothing to do with scope, really. It's simply that objects don't carry methods, but rather they are of a certain type and that has the methods. 14:09
mst stevieb: adding methods to an object at runtime is rarely a good idea, since you end up adding them to the class
stevieb oh, ok, now I understand. This is perl5 thinking I believe that's causing me confusion.
mst in perl5 the usual approach is to rebless yourself into an empty subclass of your 'real' class first
no, this would be completely broken in perl5 too
'adding methods in BUILD' is one of the most common Moo/Moose antipatterns
stevieb ok, so instead of the XY problem approach, I'll state what I'm trying to achieve and request feedback on that :) I want to be able to accept a list of names at runtime, and then dynamically add those as methods to a specific object only. Can someone let me know how to approach this, or point me to docs that may exist? or is my thnking all wrong here? 14:13
stevieb ...the existing default dynamic methods should be applied at the class level for all objects, but only once (which I will play with BEGIN to try this) 14:14
gfldex the docs you are asking for will go here: doc.perl6.org/language/typesystem
(at some point before or after Christmas)
nine stevieb: that still sounds like a means to achieve a goal rather than the goal itself 14:15
gfldex see: design.perl6.org/S12.html#FALLBACK_methods
nine stevieb: but if you really need that, I'd save those names in an attribute and use FALLBACK
timotimo actually, i'd go with a very different approach
nine stevieb: it's like AUTOLOAD in Perl 5
timotimo why not have it like "use Log::Simple <foo bar baz error warning>"
stevieb timotimo: yeah, that's a very sane and easy to implement approach 14:16
timotimo yeah, you should try it that way
you'd probably create a class inside EXPORT then, like in my ADT module 14:17
stevieb I will take a read of FALLBACK as well. Learning a little every day, and finding I'm liking perl6 quite a lot
timotimo: I'll take a look at ADT as well
timotimo the drawback of FALLBACK is you won't see the methods in .^methods before they have been "tried"
whereas with the EXPORT version, you'll be able to properly introspect 14:18
stevieb I like that idea. The way it is now (and how I would have continued trying) states ANON for all the auto-generated methods, so I can't really test to see if they exist with ^methods 14:19
I appreciate the patence and advice provided here on #perl6 14:20
gfldex m: class L { method log($l, $s) { say "$l, $s" }; method FALLBACK($name, |c) { my $c = $name; self.^add_method($name, method ($s) { log($c, $s) }); self.^compose(); self."$name"(|c) } }; my $log = L.new; $log.log0("foo"); 14:23

timotimo i think you have to just return the method in question from FALLBACK and it'll add the method for you automatically 14:24
has been a while since i last used fallback, though
nine timotimo: no, that's add_fallback. FALLBACK will just be called and is expected to do whatever the called method would have done. There are examples of usage for both ways in Inline::Perl5 14:41

camelia rakudo-moar e3a3d2: OUTPUT«bar[1 2]{baz => qux}␤»
gfldex stevieb: what you actually want are hygenic macros because ^.compose will make the optimizer unhappy 14:43
nine gfldex: using add_method will again add the method to the class instead of just the object
gfldex i believe that is intentional 14:44
nine gfldex: to quote stevieb: "and then dynamically add those as methods to a specific object only" irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2016-06-20#i_12698309
gfldex given the module he linked earlier I am guessing that his initial stated intention is wrongish 14:45
stevieb gfldex: thanks for that example! I'll have to read up on docs and digest it all. 14:46
stevieb The original idea was to have all _N() methods added once, and should be available to all objects created. These are the default log methods. then, if desired, a user can send in labels eg: (debug, info etc), and on the object only, map those labels to their corresponding numbered method. I apologize for being as clear as mud 14:48
gfldex stevieb: adding methods at runtime will make it harder for the compiler to help with good error messages/optimisations at compile time 14:49
nine gfldex: ok, just go with timotimo++'s "use Log::Simple <foo bar baz error warning>" approach then :) 14:50
stevieb gfldex: I'm going to just not do that at all, as I definitely don't know enough yet anyhow. I'm just going to trudge along and get the rest of the module working properly before I start looking at doing more trickery :)
timotimo the compiler can't know anything about methods at compile time anyway; whether you've added methods to an object at run time or not doesn't make a difference to it unless you're using the object before methods are added and afterwards, maybe 14:53
gfldex stevieb: you may find the following helpful gfldex.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/a-...direction/
stevieb gfldex: thank you. I was just searching for docs/examples on export, so yes, that's handy 14:55
timotimo writing a class { has $.foo } is equivalent to writing ClassHOW.new_type + adding the attribute + composing the class via the MOP
it wouldn't make sense to offer a MOP if it wasn't exactly as powerful as what regular syntax allows you to do 14:56
timotimo seeing some livetweets from a perl conference where right now damian conway seems to be talking about perl6 15:17
lizmat yes he is :-)
timotimo one POC in the audience is also pointing out the distinct whiteness of the whole audience and speakers 15:18
stmuk_ POC?
timotimo (but at least someone put LL Cool J on one slide, so that makes 3 POC in total apparently)
person of color
nine timeless: tell that to the creators of other languages with a MOP like Python ;)
literal ah, I love when this language allows me to eliminate boilerplate. Nice to be able to do "for @a -> (:$foo, :$bar) { ... }" to reference the keys of a hash in each iteration with minimal typing 15:21
BrokenRobot timotimo: last year some sort of JS conf tweeted a photo and it's literally ALL white males :)
timotimo yeah, it's not uncommon to have white males as the biggest chunk of the audience by far ... :( 15:22
stmuk_ I guess YAPC::Asia didn't have that problem 15:23
timotimo i don't think i'm in a position to make it better, but i'm pretty sure there's some things i'd do without thinking that turns off people from minorities :\ 15:24
BrokenRobot Like "POC"? :)
timotimo hm?
mst BrokenRobot: um. PoC is, according to most of the internet at this point, the politically correct term to use, and you can expect to be yelled at if you use anything else 15:25
BrokenRobot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just a weird term to use to refer to a human :) OTOH I didn't even know there were races of humans until I was 15 so what do I know 15:26
nine mst: sometimes you just cannot win ;) dearblankpleaseblank.com/permalink....wid=216204
mst bahahahahaha 15:27
nine The whole obsession with skin color is one of the most ridiculous obsessions of the human race (pun very much intended) 15:29
mst :D 15:30
BrokenRobot :)
timotimo yeah, but we'll not make it better by saying "oh, we're completely color blind here" or ignoring that these people tend to get a lot of BS
nine of course not :) 15:31
andreoss \part
tony-o one of my favorite parts of the marine corps: i.imgur.com/GmUKeRh.jpg 15:32
nine timotimo: btw. considering that 2/3 of humanity are Asian and more than half of humanity is female, speaking of "minorities" may already be part of the problem. 15:32
tony-o relevant to skin color ^
timotimo the thing about that is that these people don't get viewed by others as part of the global mass of people they would rightfully be a part of 15:33
BrokenRobot Well, maybe the person who pointed out the "distinct whiteness" may offer some ideas on what that is so?
timotimo it's all local
BrokenRobot doesn't even pretend to know the solution to this problem
mspo what's the gender mix?
BrokenRobot s/what that/why that/;
tony-o www.unprecedentedmediocrity.com/rac...ake-notes/
timotimo you can ask the POC why there aren't more POC in tech, but if you do that, you can very easily seem like a total arsehole
tony-o mspo: of the population? 15:34
stmuk_ damian is being streamed ...odd I didn't think he liked that
mspo tony-o: of the conference population
mst the problem is you need to figure out (1) who might be interested in turning up (2) why the ones who didn't didn't, and if we can do something about that
timotimo like, even inside an asian country, an asian person can be treated like shit for "being a minority" if they are put into a circle of thirty white doods
mst and both of those are really tricky
tony-o timotimo: or even other asians. 15:35
mspo timotimo: or the wrong type of asian
timotimo that too, yes
mst right, europe mostly specialises in hating each other for being the wrong sort of white people
tony-o that seems congruent, people will find a way to discriminate, if not by skin color then by something else
timotimo even if the race/skin tone/language/... are the same, they could still be gay or trans or atheist or of the wrong religion, or wear the wrong kind of clothes
i think i'm going off on a tangent here
tony-o yes :) 15:36
mspo eat the wrong type of bread
(encountered this in real life)
timotimo what, really?
BrokenRobot drink the wrong kind of beer....
mst use the wrong sort of text editor
BrokenRobot .. oh wait.. that was in a #perl channel! :P
timotimo well, yeah, wrong kind of beer that's in cologne and düsseldorf
tony-o get out mst. 15:37
:p
timotimo text editors is pretty funny until you have to explain to an outsider interested in becoming an insider and it's basically another thing they have to learn in order to be accepted 15:38
hoelzro I remember telling one of my sisters that programmers have arguments about which language is best - it blew her mind
timotimo "oh and btw if someone mentions MongoDB, be sure to point at them and laugh, otherwise you're not with the *in* crowd"
tony-o timotimo: and vim isn't easy to explain anyway
timotimo vim isn't easy to explain away :)
"nerd culture"/"programmer culture" sometimes feels a bit like the treehouse allegory :| 15:39
profan hoelzro: ahaha, this is one of those things hardest for people outside to understand in my experience 15:40
stmuk_ is everyone watching damian? 15:41
timotimo finds it easy to complain, hard to measure what's actually pertinent
can you give a link to the place where damian can be watched?
BrokenRobot is working, so no
mst trout.me.uk/mongodb.jpg
gfldex stmuk_: i'm not because i'm missing a link
mspo www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_i...q2HkAYbG5o
timotimo that's sawyer, though? 15:42
oh, no, it is actually damian
stmuk_ no it's sawyers new look 15:43
timotimo :D 15:43
i hate that it's only on the left ear :(
hoelzro profan: I think it sheds some light on just how silly it is =) 15:44
mspo timotimo: glad it isn't just me
timotimo i bet a nice little one-liner for pulseaudio could fix it for me 15:45

nine Listening to TheDamian's great message, I still can't help but think, despite all it's greatness - and this will ultimately lead to a Perl 7 - Perl 6 still does not exactly do what I mean, it still does what I say. So I guess Perl 7 will have to be built on top of an epic AI core.
BrokenRobot dogbert17: I'm no expert, but it looks like in this case for just passes a singular seq inside the loop instead of iterating over each pair 16:07
BrokenRobot
.oO( lizmat sure naps a lot.... lucky )
 16:08
dogbert17 BrokenRobot: I agree but shouldn't it iterate of the pairs? 16:11
hoelzro hmm...is it that the seq's iterator will iterate until IterationEnd, and then set itself up in a state as if it were iterating from the beginning again, instead of setting itself up to just keep returning IterationEnd?

BrokenRobot hoelzro: that makes a list
Isn't that a way to make a Seq consumable more than once?
hoelzro @($p)? right, but that should drain the iterator
hoelzro if you assign the result of @($p), yes 16:15
BrokenRobot Ah
hoelzro it doesn't cache the results, afaik
hoelzro Seq is a weak spot for me in Perl 6, thought, so I could be wrong 16:16
gfldex the iterator is created of %!elems of the bag 16:17
that hash is persistent
also there is Set::cache what means that Sets can be consumed but don't have to 16:19
dogbert17 gfldex: does that mean that the contents, if that's the correct wording, decides wheather a Seq is consumed or not? 16:21
dogbert17 clearly confused
gfldex the content or you
by calling .cache you can make it's values persistent if you call that method befor iteration 16:22
dogbert17 gfldex: but that is not necessary in this particular case?
could some amendments in doc.perl6.org/type/Seq be in order? 16:24

tony-o it may be less, i have so much old code lying around it's difficult to put a timeline on anything in p6 18:51
yanmc what's preferred in a shebang, perl with `use 6.c' or just perl6? 18:53
dogbert17 is gfldex still around? 18:54
mst perl6 with 'use 6.c'
tony-o yanmc: i use 'perl6' 18:55
[Coke] perl with use 6.c -- won't work. 18:56
mst right
perl6 in the shebang, but 'use 6.c' is still a good thing
[Coke] perl6 -- will eventually have issues when the next spec is released.
mst is correct.
yanmc got it, thanks guys
dogbert17 I have tried to write some docs for method pairs in Baggy, is it ok? gist: gist.github.com/dogbert17/efcb4849...942b42fbf3 18:59
moritz dogbert17: "the weight that element. 19:08
"
the weight *of* that element
otherwise, good
dogbert17 moritz: oops, will fix ...
moritz maybe you want to add an example with a weight != 1 19:09
dogbert17 moritz: will do
moritz m: say bag(<bacon egg bacon>).pairs.sort

masak question: how do you parse with a grammar, but allow it to match a prefix of the string you pass in? 20:52
masak that is, I'm fine with the implicit ^ anchor it puts in, but I want it to ignore the implicit $ anchor 20:53

stevieb9 is "has Bool $!disabled = False;" valid? In one of my test files, after creating a second subtest that creates a second, separate object, I get: "P6opaque: no such attribute '$!disabled' in type Log::Simple when trying to check if it's initialized 23:00

timotimo when you build your own BUILD, default values won't work any more ... or something like that?
stevieb9 it barfs always in the second subtest, as I create a new object. One object per subtest. If I move the subtests around, it always fails at the second object creation, so it doesn't appear to be test related 23:05
Zoffix stevieb9, why not show the full code?
stevieb9 test: github.com/stevieb9/perl6-log-simp...-methods.t 23:06
code: github.com/stevieb9/perl6-log-simp...Simple.pm6 23:07
stevieb9 I think I lied. It looks like it always dies in the test that call the "_N" methods, which in turn calls log() (the dies-ok() tests) 23:10
ShimmerFairy there isn't a lot of documentation on how HLL::Grammar's operator precedence parser works, is there? (Trying to figure out what specific keys do is tough.)
ShimmerFairy e.g. I spot a 'uassoc' key that appears to be unused, but which I'm guessing determines the left/right associativity for unary ops (which are otherwise marked :assoc<unary>) 23:14
raiph stevieb: you're composing an object in FALLBACK?
(Well, adding methods and recomposing, but I'm still surprised and suspicious of such a power move) 23:16
stevieb9 my goal there is to auto-generate methods so that I don't have to repeat a whole bunch of code, but I'm too new to understand if that's breaking other things 23:17
the following works fine, and does what I expect: perl6 -MLog::Simple -e 'my $l=Log::Simple.new; my $l2=Log::Simple.new; $l._7("obj1"); $l2._2("obj2");' 23:20
so I don't know what's up with the test file 23:21
hmmm, this doesn't though: perl6 -MLog::Simple -e 'my $l=Log::Simple.new; $l._3("obj1 3"); my $l2=Log::Simple.new; $l._7("obj1"); $l2._2("obj2");' 23:22
so if I call log() (through the numbered methods) prior to creating the second object, it breaks.
unfortunately I've got to take off for a while, but I'll play around again later. I may just have to take a step back and write simpler code until I can start better understanding what's actually happening :) 23:26
raiph stevieb9: If I figure anything out I'll .tell you. Maybe catch you later. o/ 23:28
AlexDaniel “The following list is stolen from the Perl 5 perlunicode documentation:” :D 23:38
not sure if “stolen” is the right word, but it is funny :)
sortiz Surprised by the change in REPL output from 2016.06+, now the eval result is printed even when undefined (i.e, a simple "enter" produces Nil). Is this change documented? 23:40
ShimmerFairy Oh, that reminds me, I had an idea to "rewrite" the synopses using the tests as a base; something like literate programming, though not necessarily put the doc part in-source. The idea being that someone wanting to learn the exact specification of P6 would likely prefer English to read :) 23:44
BrokenRobot sortiz: it's likely caused by awwaiid++'s REPL rework. It went in about a week before the release: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/738 23:54
As for documented: no idea. It wasn't mentioned in the release notes/change log as I figured it was just an internal change that weren't supposed to have any user-facing side effects 23:55
sortiz BrokenRobot, Well. I like it, only that just now notice it :-) 23:59
