[16:56] <disbot4> <comborico> Is Int an object or a class?

[17:01] <disbot4> <comborico> Appears to be both: https://docs.raku.org/language/faq#What_are_those_:D_and_:U_things_in_signatures%3F

[17:53] <disbot4> <librasteve> m: say Int.defined

[17:53] <disbot4> <Raku eval>  False 

[17:53] <disbot4> <librasteve> m: say 42.defined

[17:53] <disbot4> <Raku eval>  True 

[17:54] <disbot4> <librasteve> type smileys :D is defined, :U is undefined

[21:48] <disbot4> <comborico> I am liking the comparison of a "type object" to a "virtual class".  Is this on the right track?  Because the "type object" seems to have class-like behavior.

[21:48] <disbot4> <comborico> I know "virtual class" sounds kind of stupid.

[22:44] <lizmat> well, a class is really an instance of a meta-object

[22:45] <lizmat> m: class A {  }; dd A.HOW.^name

[22:45] <camelia> rakudo-moar 9c88752a6: OUTPUT: «"Perl6::Metamodel::ClassHOW"␤»

[23:04] <disbot4> <comborico> Do meta-objects exists outside of Raku?

[23:04] <lizmat> as a concept, definitely

[23:05] <lizmat> inside MoarVM: possibly, it's not called Metamodel On A Runtime VM for nothing  ;-)

[23:05] <lizmat> afk&

[23:10] <disbot4> <comborico> I was wondering what that name was about.  I was thinking it was some exotic animal from Africa.  Maybe like a nod to GNU or something.
