disbot4 <comborico> What is that behavior called that returns an output in REPL, but won't return any output otherwise? Example, sub return-value {5} return-value; OUTPUT: 5. But execute from a file, no output. 16:58
lizmat the rule in the REPL is that *if* the filepointer on STDOUT has not moved (aka, no output on STDOUT), *then* the result of the expression will be shown 16:59
disbot4 <comborico> Ah, okay. Thanks! 17:06
<librasteve> til … seems that .tell on a file handle will give you the file pointer 17:07
<comborico> Is "fat comma" a deprecated term for "fat arrow", or are they two different things? Seems like I saw "fat arrow" more often. 20:59
<librasteve> first time I heard fat comma - 🤷‍♂️ 21:18
<comborico> docs.raku.org/language/perl-nutshe..._Fat_comma 21:22
<librasteve> oh - lol ... I guess that Fat Comma is the perl name for raku's Fat Arrow then ;-) 21:26
<antononcube> I have heard "programmable comma", but "fat comma". 21:30
<librasteve> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_comma 21:35
<comborico> Is the pointy-block parameter ( for @array -> $var { } ) is-copy? Seems to be. 23:04
