disbot2 <simon_sibl> multi sub combine(Hash \a, \b --> Hash()) { is this like in Go where if the types is the same you dont need to repeat it or in this case \b could be something else than a Hash ? 02:02
<simon_sibl> the quicksort code is quite amazing, I wish my brain could come up with stuff like that 😆 02:10
[Coke] I think \b could be anything there. 02:54
m: 3.say 03:08
not bot, sorry - yes, the b isn't restricted there.

disbot2 <librasteve> @simon_sibl … yes exactly … I could have maybe have used %a on this sub but I chose to keep the same signature for both multis … so \a will take Any on the other sub… going sigilless helps to project that “will take any type” intent hopefully 07:11
<librasteve> btw the weekly tips n tricks is aimed at (i) putting some actual Raku in the weekly so that occasional readers can get a feel for what we are on about and (ii) as a way to share idioms with readers who are moving up the curve. What are your thoughts… is it sometimes interesting/helpful? Too easy/too hard? 07:14
<simon_sibl> I think its great, I really liked the quicksort one, showed to my colleagues 😆 07:17
