antononcube @librasteve "there's probably a whole essay on why raku is built on Seqs ..." -- I would be very interested to read it. I consider the Seq-centric behavior of Raku to be seen as "useless" or "too awkward" by lots of people. 02:12

rcmlz IIRC, also R is known to work best if „everything“ is treaded as a list (all the apply-magic works magically) - but beginners will usually go for „traditional“ approaches and convert and „unlist“ 06:58

antononcube I was thinking about that -- people familiar with the arcanity of R might accept the arcanity of Raku. This does not mean they will adopt Raku, though. 13:39
Also, that is more for the "older generation" of R users. Newer R users are too accustomed to using "tidyverse", etc. 13:41

rcmlz „older generation“ - LOL - let me tell you a story, my young fellow, about me discovering and learning „apply“ in R, back in the good old days, leaving the „there is nothing wrong with for loop“-boyz well behind … 14:57
Maybe the same is true for lazinesses/seq in Raku - needs effort to understand - but might pay-off quickly. 14:58
antononcube 👍 15:33
lizmat perhaps I need to revisit dev.to/lizmat/series/20496 15:40
nahita3882 as an aside, what can be done to bring syntax highlighting of Raku code in dev.to 16:17
i see that, e.g., Python snippets have it

ab5tract Ah, syntax highlighting:( 17:26
nahita3882: This is a decent overview of the current situation github.com/Raku/problem-solving/issues/422 17:32
nahita3882 thanks ab5tract 17:33
