deoac I attempted `zef install Inline::Perl5`. and got the error "Cannot locate native library libp5helper.dylib".  How do I get that library? 00:26

:(**@rest, *%rest) m: say 42.WHICH; 06:19
Raku eval Int|42
:(**@rest, *%rest) i thought it gives the address (or id) of the object 06:20
m: 42.WHICH.raku.say;
Raku eval ValueObjAt.new("Int|42")
:(**@rest, *%rest) oh its called WHERE 06:21

Raku eval Exit code: 1 ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /home/glot/main.raku Package 'Mu' already has a method 'gist' (did you mean to declare a multi method?) at /home/glot/main.raku:4

Raku eval <class A> <A object at 0x5A57C710000>
:(**@rest, *%rest) somehow even monke typing can't allow me to override methods 06:32
m: for [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] -> $a, $b, $c { say "$a $b $c" } 06:48
Raku eval 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
:(**@rest, *%rest) til how many elements for gives depends on how many arguments the block has shouldn't be surprising (thats how kv works) but its just interesting that for cares about the number of args of its callback 06:52
m: for [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] -> $a, $b, $c, $d { say "$a $b $c $d" } 06:54
Raku eval 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Nahita > shouldn't be surprising (thats how kv works) .kv is yet another Sequence giving thing that happens to produce key-value pairs sequentially. it's again how you form your signature in the following block to receive those. 08:21
:(**@rest, *%rest) yeah, i want to say that for don't just blindly iterate over and give 1 element each to the callback the number of elements for takes depends on the number of args in thr block 08:27
p6steve this is my recipe to build Inline::Perl5 ... first you need to install all the lib and header files ... github.com/p6steve/raku-Dockerfile...Dockerfile and then just go zef install github.com/niner/Inline-Python.git --exclude="python3" 08:48
I think that the header files required are set out in the Inline::Perl5 docs 08:49

el gatito (** advocate) can someone explain this inconsistency 08:55
m: say (@(1, 2, 3)).WHAT; my @a = 1, 2, 3; say @a.WHAT; 08:56
Raku eval (List) (Array)
el gatito (** advocate) ^
gfldex You cast a List to a Positional and you get List. You got an Array which ... happens to be an Array. 09:01
el gatito (** advocate) in the assignment i also pass a List why does it become Array 09:02

Raku eval (List) (Array)
09:03 snonux_ joined
gfldex Because the default container type of an @-sigiled symbol is Array. If you assign a List to an Array, the values of the List become the values of the Array. 09:03

m: my @a := 1,2,3; say @a.WHAT; 09:05
Raku eval (List)
el gatito (** advocate) containers be like 😔 09:06
i was expecting @(1, 2, 3) to return an array so that i have a short way to convert to Array turns out thats not how it works 09:07
gfldex @el gatito (** advocate) these might help: gfldex.wordpress.com/?s=container 09:08

snonux uhm! the @list is an array, too! 09:23

Nemokosch I think gfldex cleared it up perfectly 10:03
@(), $(), %() is like contextualization in Perl 10:05
Pretty sure @ turns into a .list call and % turns into a .hash call. 10:07
These methods try to make the least fuss with the input they get 10:08
lizmat $() is a call to .item 10:10
Nemokosch Not surprising, I wasn't sure 10:11
Making Scalar tightly couple two thing (interface to mutation + treating data as one element in iteration) was a mistake imo, even though this one is easy to work around 10:13
