disbot4 <comborico> A little blunder in the Raku Guide (raku.guide), WHEN is used under section on GIVEN operator. 17:58
<comborico> And WHEN is never discussed.
lizmat good catch! please make an issue at github.com/hankache/rakuguide :-) 18:16
disbot4 <comborico> Thank you 18:46
lizmat in case you didn't realize: when foo is short for if $_ ~~ foo 18:51
disbot4 <comborico> Nope, didnt' realize that. The docs should have said that at the beginning. I'm learning about DEFAULT to figure out WHEN. I will add your statement to my notes! 18:55
lizmat m: $_ = 42; when 42 { say "foo" } 18:57

disbot4 <comborico> Ten years ago, I was critical of Raku's large amount of operators. But I recently saw the benefit of it. 18:58
<comborico> Since I'm feeling a bit snarky, I'll just come out and say it: I think the ||s should have taken place of // in regex. 19:00
lizmat actually, when is a bit more than that, especially wrt to default, but it's a start 19:01
disbot4 <comborico> But, who am I? I can't imagine decades of using and then changing it.
<comborico> Yeah, it helps
<comborico> I don't think LOOP needed to be in Raku Guide. Doesn't seem useful at all. 19:11
<comborico> But I do find Raku Guide to be the most accessible of all the documents that I've found so far. 19:40
<comborico> Not for a spanking new programmer, but the initiated.
