_elcaro_ If you know you hex string is well formed (ie. $hex.chars %% 2) then you could just to $hex.comb(2) eg. my ($a, $b) = $hex.comb(2); 04:00
bobby_jim_birdrock That's the best of all. Thank you. 06:33

timemelon can somebody point to the docs that talk about referring to operators as terms? eg &infix:<+> and &[+] 09:46
lizmat strictly speaking, &infix:<+> is the subroutine name for the infix + operator 09:53
and &[+] is a grammar construct to refer to &infix:<+> in a shorthand way
dr.shuppet I'm far from an expert on this, but from what I know, operators are just subs with a non-standard name: > &infix:<+>.WHAT (Sub+{is-pure}) Also see docs.raku.org/language/optut. The way to refer them as terms is a form of extended identifier: docs.raku.org/language/syntax#Exte...dentifiers 09:54
The extended identifier works just like any other sub identifier: > infix:<+>(5, 6) 11 09:58
timemelon thank you both! 10:00
lizmat m: dd &[+] =:= &infix:<+> # they're really the same 10:21
camelia Bool::True
dr.shuppet Yeah I think &[+] is just syntactic sugar (correct me if I’m wrong) 10:28
lizmat yup, it is
dr.shuppet The actual symbol being &infix:<+>
I found it in roast also: github.com/Raku/roast/blob/master/...name.t#L71 11:39
And if you still doubt it is really syntactic sugar: [0] > \&[RandomNonsense] ===SORRY!=== Missing infix inside R ------> \&[R⏏andomNonsense] expecting any of: infix infix noun infix stopper statement list term Other potential difficulties: To pass an array, hash or sub to a function in Raku, just pass it as is. For other uses of Perl's ref operator 11:43
consider binding with ::= instead. Parenthesize as \(...) if you intended a capture of a single variable. ------> \⏏&[RandomNonsense] [0] > &[randomNonsense] ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling: Missing infix inside [] ------> &[⏏randomNonsense] expecting any of: infix infix noun infix stopper statement list term
Unlike this: [0] > &infix:<test> ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling: Undeclared routine: infix:<test> used at line 1. Did you mean 'infix:<+^>', 'infix:<⚛=>', 'infix:<÷>', 'infix:<∈>', 'infix:<⩶>'? which is just parsed as an identifier, looked up in symbol table, and failing 11:44
lizmat and yet another Rakudo Weekly News hits the Net: rakudoweekly.blog/2024/04/08/2024-14-15-1k-75/ 12:45
dr.shuppet Nice, I haven't been watching the developments about Raku for a while, glad to see things are moving forward! 12:56
antononcube Sideways, too! 13:11
Hmm... to clarify, I see the LLM endowments as "sideway" developments. I still think Raku-LLM is the best combination for most LLM related workflows, but at some point the language ecosystems start to become a factor. 13:15
