winfredraj can you try again please? 08:40
should be there now 08:41
So I installed it and tested it with a cp850 file using the module I installed using zef, but have not tested any other files. I dont even have files other than cp850 08:43
When I was working on these old PLC code and ladder logic, I had to work exclusively on cp850 encoding and I expected it work directly in Raku considering Raku/Perl is considered a very text friendly language - so thought it would cool to have these encodings available as well. 08:47
librasteve any chance you can relink the code repo? 09:48
winfredraj I have done it already, havent I? 10:51
lizmat nope 10:58
github.com/winfred-raj/encoding-emacs is a 404
winfredraj github.com/winfredraj/encoding-emacs 12:12
lizmat then the META6 is incorrect, as that states github.com/winfred-raj/encoding-emacs (note the hyphen) 12:51

thowe What editor and/or environment are the cool kids using on MacOS? I usually just use Kate. New job sent me a Mac. I've never had a Mac, but I had them send that instead of a Windows machine because I figured it would be closer to the *nix machines I am used to. 17:20

thowe I guess I should figure out what a language server is 17:51
Navigator... If liz uses it I should probably too... My entire workflow with my GIS stuff at work has started flowing around Raku as my glue. 17:59
lizmat I am not a good role model using editors / IDEs
thowe wat? My entire reality here is "what would liz do?" 18:00
lizmat anything but editors / IDEs is fine :) 18:01
thowe It kind of seems like the arc of the world bends toward VS code :(
lizmat 30+ years of Vim don't leave my muscle memory easily
thowe vim has been my goto for years, but I never actually figured out how to get good with it. probably because I go long periods of time without writing code, then some project need switches and I am back at it relearning it all over again. I have probably learned Perl 5 times now. I have already forgotten how to use MAIN 3 times. I need to go back to my Learning Perl book yet again. 18:03
lizmat perhaps www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/learning-perl-...097894957/ better ? 18:05
thowe Yeah, I own that. Bedtime reading for me sometimes when brushing up. I actually think I own all the print books. Went on a buying spree one time just to support everyone. That is the one I only own in PDF. 18:07
I should check for any new ones. My versions still all say Perl 6 other than the Recipes. 18:09

librasteve thowe: I am enjoying IntelliJ and the Raku IntelliJ Plugin on mac (with some Terminal + raw vi on the side). I have not tried VSCode. 20:05
thowe librasteve: Thanks for that. I think I should try both. 20:12
librasteve I suspect the factors for IntelliJ vs. VSCode are things like (i) I am doing web development (Wordpress, PHP), (ii) I want to use Jupyter Notebooks, (iii) copilot is my preferred AI ... in the IntelliJ camp often these need some paid option - just CE + RIP is free but eg the Jupyter Plugin is not available for CE. 20:18
