| [Coke] | m say Inf.Numeric; | 13:55 | |
| m: say Inf.Numeric; | |||
| camelia | Inf | ||
| nahita3882 | it's not in line with ^$val being 0..^$val though, as 0..^* interprets the star as making the end point Inf | 16:40 | |
| m: say ^12, 0..^12, ^*, 0..^* | |||
| Raku eval | ^12^12WhateverCode.new0..^Inf | ||
| nahita3882 | m: dd ^12, 0..^12, ^*, 0..^* | 16:41 | |
| Raku eval | ^12 ^12 WhateverCode.new 0..^Inf | ||
| [Coke] | Yup. I don't know if there's a reason for that inconsistency. Might be worth opening a problem solving ticket. | 16:54 | |
| Seems like an easy change to make if it doesn't break anything. | |||
| lizmat | m: dd ^* | 17:09 | |
| camelia | WhateverCode.new | ||
| lizmat | m: .say for (^*)(10) | 17:10 | |
| camelia | 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
||
| lizmat | so I think that's going to be a no-starter as it's valid syntax atm | ||
| it may be a bit of a WAT | 17:11 | ||
| [Coke] | m: .say for (^Inf)(10) | 17:35 | |
| camelia | No such method 'CALL-ME' for invocant of type 'Range' in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1 |
||
| [Coke] | m: .say for (^Inf)[10] | 17:36 | |
| camelia | 10 | ||
| [Coke] | ok. | ||
| librasteve | m: say (^*)[10]; | 17:37 | |
| Raku eval | WhateverCode.new | ||
| librasteve | m: say (0..^*)[10] | 17:38 | |
| Raku eval | 10 | ||
| librasteve | can that be what was intended? | 17:39 | |
| lizmat | ^* currently codegens to -> $_ { ^$_ } | 17:41 | |
| librasteve | and presumably, +* codegens to > $ { +$ } ie coerce to Numeric | 17:48 | |
| and ^ is the upto operator so that ^* should return the Range 0..^* except it returns WhateverCode.new | 17:50 | ||
| m: say +*; | 17:53 | ||
| Raku eval | WhateverCode.new | ||
| librasteve | m: say (+*)(<2>).WHAT; | ||
| Raku eval | (Int) | ||
| librasteve | so the general case makes sense and even works when ^* is the second arg to the range operator like 0..^*, but raku forgets to special case when ^* is used standalone since there is no value coming to prime it | 17:55 | |
| i got this general raku comment on my harc stack intro post over at /r/htmx Can I set a config so that it doesn’t let me get away with not typing things? ... I am reluctant to just say "no", but I don't know of any use super-strict; pragma that would require explicit types to be set everywhere | 18:07 | ||
| [Coke] | You can self enforce, but there's no pragma to say, e.g. all user-space routines and variables must be typed. | 18:53 | |
| librasteve | ah - I thought not but wanted to check - maybe a rakuAST linter could do this in the future... | 18:54 | |
| tx | |||
| [Coke] | ... wonder if that could live in module space. | ||
| habere-et-disper | How did @lizmat discover what (^*) codegens to as neither `dd` nor `raku` introspect fully? | 19:46 | |
| [Coke] | she's a core dev. | 19:48 | |
| probably looked at the source. | |||
| librasteve - yes, probably easier in AST. | 19:58 | ||
| I don't remember happening to see Device::Velleman::K8055 before | 20:14 | ||

| sdomi | trying to print out arbitrary bytes, raku complains `Malformed UTF-8 near bytes 00 86 at line 1 col 3` | 04:05 | |
| how do i make it shut up? | |||
| `.encode('latin1')` mangles my bytes... | 04:09 | ||
| okay mb, I confused `$*OUT.put` with `$*OUT.write`, i don't need to decode with the 2nd one | 04:20 | ||
| 24 Mar 2025 | |||
| habere-et-disper | I have multis with the same signature. How do I call them all? I can get them with .cando but I'm not sure how to call each candidate then? | 19:40 | |
| m: multi foo { 'bar' }; multi foo { 'baz' }; say .() for &foo.cando | 19:47 | ||
| camelia | bar baz |
