deoac A question about the REPL 18:31
[0] > sub infix:<neq>($a, $b) {return ($a ne $b)}; say 'a' neq 'b';
True
[0] > say 'a' neq 'b';
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling:
Two terms in a row
------> say 'a'⏏ neq 'b';
    expecting any of:
        infix
        infix stopper
        postfix
        statement end
        statement modifier
        statement modifier loop
[0] > &infix:<neq>.WHAT
(Sub)
Why the error on the second command?
lizmat hmmm... I'm not seeing that, I see: 18:43
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling:
Undeclared routine:
infix:<neq> used

Welcome to Rakudo™ v2023.04.
Implementing the Raku® Programming Language v6.d.
Built on MoarVM version 2023.04.
lizmat aahh.. oops, I missed the first line 18:59
yeah, that's a known REPL issue: some definitions do not carry over from one statement to the next in the REPL 19:00
and actually, it's not the definition in this case, but the change in the grammar for the new infix op
if you do: &infix:<neq>('a','b') it will say True 19:02
sorry for the misdirection...

deoac lizmat thank you 21:38
Is `\S` the same as `\w` ?  If not, what characters fail to match either one? 21:41
lizmat <![\S \w]> perhaps? 22:12
avuserow `\S` is all non-space characters. `\w` is all "word" characters (roughly letters, numbers, underscore, plus unicode equivalents), so `\S` is a superset of what `\w` matches 23:42
