Nemokosch <@563790557831495691> by the way, I'm definitely counting on you with the squashathon revival idea 02:01
stevied <@297037173541175296> heh, you mean the legacy extension updater? 02:59
rf stevied: Yeah I use syntax highlighting. 03:00
jaguart I tend to swap context a lot - I like UltraEdit - Project has as many Dists as you want, Syntax highlight, Code explorer, simple and fast - screenshot: user-images.githubusercontent.com/...0ff5f3.png 03:06
atm the only bugbear is syntax highlight for POD6 is not as good 03:09
stevied No kidding. Huh. I wonder why mine is so slow. It’s like unusable. 03:16
jaguart UE is fast and simple - even on mega files. syntax highlight, code explorer etc. are just basic token settings and then user perl5-regex tweaks. It's a nice what-works approach, but there are some edge-cases that are not quite there - e.g. the POD6 (doc) begin/end tokens contains a space `=begin pod` and atm spaces in tokens not supported. 05:17
Da-ding! I wrote a pretty basic subroutine to flatten nested hashes (`%( 1, %(2, %(3, 4)))` to `%( "1.2.3", 4)`) pastebin.com/BZ2eNVYA 09:12
I'm wondering if anyone has a cool idiomatic way of doing the same thing
Nemokosch I mean organizing an event for fixing ecosystem modules, like in the old days 09:39
github.com/Raku/ecosystem-unbitrot this was the original repo 09:40
github.com/2colours/Raku-ideas/blo...0reborn.md this is my brainstorming about how I would imagine it nowadays 09:41
stevied sorry to disappoint but I'm not organizing a bug squash-o-thon 11:25
seems like a project that big would have to be done in small chunks. Do 10 modules a week over a year. 11:28
not sure one event would do it
does raku have anything like the smoketest system perl has? 11:29
/rf when you do :set ft? in vim, do you get "raku"? 12:10
Nemokosch heh, I'm not implying that you organize one, I'm saying that if there comes to be one, I'm counting on your participation 12:12
stevied ok, i'll be there 12:15
