nommef hello, does somebody know why first `say` is ok, but the second one freezes the program? 13:44
```
my %cfg1 = r => "^'D '";
my $tmp-r = %cfg1<r>;
%cfg1<r> = / <$tmp-r> /;
my %cfg2 = r => "^'D '";
%cfg2<r> = / <{%cfg2<r>}> /;
say "D d" ~~ %cfg1<r>;
say "D d" ~~ %cfg2<r>;
```
I thought they are doing the same thing, but apparently not -_-

Nemokosch could you write it in a more readable way, preferably in a gist/pastebin? 14:00

lucs @Nemokosch Yeah, it's pretty unreadable, but looking at it from IRC, it's not too bad. The problem when we look at it in Discord is that it uses a non-monospace font. And those triple backquotes that were used in IRC didn't apply in Discord. Fortunately, those problems may soon be over, as Libera (the IRC hosts) posted this this morning: "[Global Notice] Good Morning All! Following our Annual General Meeting 14:39
that took place last night (31st), we have decided that Libera will be pivoting to a Discord server ( discord.gg/4QNt6VjT )! We feel this is the best way forward for our various communities. Please let us know what you think in #libera-discord"
lucs nommef: Try replacing the 5th line with: %cfg2<r> = / <{note "Recursing?"; %cfg2<r>}> /; 14:57
nommef @lucs yes, it is recursing (endless spam) 15:30
unfortunately I have no idea how to format code on irc (I prefer to use discord as little as possible) 15:33
lucs nommef: If you use github, you can do a gist? 15:35
nommef here's the original code - privatebin.net/?3cf90d0e11e77e4b#D...eib3QJ4BfM
lucs (same idea, eh) 15:36
nommef so, the regex is using a reference to a string (field?) inside that hash, instead of using the string itself in regex construction? maybe another case of cursed sigils? -_-  (i am not a perl dev, it wouldnt be a first time me having such problem) 15:43
lucs For what it's worth, sigils in Raku are more well-behaved than in Perl. 16:00
I can't quite figure it out, but the problem seems to be more with the multiple levels of indirections and evaluations.
Here's the same code, golfed down somewhat: gist.github.com/lucs/bb2613fa3b279...f35f4f7f89 16:01
Maybe someone more expert can explain what's going on.

lucs moritz: Hi. 16:05
moritz Hi nommef, I was told that you have a problem with a hanging regex
lucs gist.github.com/lucs/bb2613fa3b279...f35f4f7f89
That's nommef's code, golfed down a bit.
moritz The regex you're building and storing in %h2<s> tries, at runtime, to look up a value from %h2<s> 16:06
so it finds itself, calls itself, and what does it do? it looks up a value from %h2<s>
this is basically the same as writing my $s = sub { $s() }; say $s();
just written with regexes
Nemokosch so it all boils down to <{%cfg2<r>}> being lazy? 16:10
lucs (aka <{%h2<s>}> in the golfed down version.) 16:13
moritz yes, a regex is really more like code, not like a string, and code always lazily looks up variables
