[17:58] <disbot4> <comborico> A little blunder in the Raku Guide (raku.guide), WHEN is used under section on GIVEN operator.

[17:58] <disbot4> <comborico> And WHEN is never discussed.

[18:16] <lizmat> good catch!   please make an issue at https://github.com/hankache/rakuguide :-)

[18:46] <disbot4> <comborico> Thank you

[18:51] <lizmat> in case you didn't realize:  when foo   is short for   if $_ ~~ foo

[18:55] <disbot4> <comborico> Nope, didnt' realize that.  The docs should have said that at the beginning.  I'm learning about DEFAULT to figure out WHEN.  I will add your statement to my notes!

[18:57] <lizmat> m: $_ = 42;  when 42 { say "foo" }

[18:58] <disbot4> <comborico> Ten years ago, I was critical of Raku's large amount of operators.  But I recently saw the benefit of it.

[19:00] <disbot4> <comborico> Since I'm feeling a bit snarky, I'll just come out and say it:  I think the ||s should have taken place of // in regex.

[19:01] <lizmat> actually, when is a bit more than that, especially wrt to default, but it's a start

[19:01] <disbot4> <comborico> But, who am I?  I can't imagine decades of using and then changing it.

[19:01] <disbot4> <comborico> Yeah, it helps

[19:11] <disbot4> <comborico> I don't think LOOP needed to be in Raku Guide.  Doesn't seem useful at all.

[19:40] <disbot4> <comborico> But I do find Raku Guide to be the most accessible of all the documents that I've found so far.

[19:40] <disbot4> <comborico> Not for a spanking new programmer, but the initiated.
