Geth rakudo: 168da39ae2 | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | src/core.c/Iterable.pm6
Simplify Iterable eqv Iterable

By removing the specific Positional handling. This every so lightly improves performance on comparing arrays, while not affecting any other performance.
This also removes the use of AT-POS in eqv handling, making it easier to later introduce proper eqv handling of sparse arrays.		 07:52

Allow Nil to represent holes in sparse arrays

This commit affects the way arrays are rendered with .raku, and it affects the way Nil is interpreted as a value when initializing an array.
This is achieved by the following conceptual changes: ... (31 more lines)		 10:23

lizmat we currently have no way to force a control exception to happen on another thread, right ? 11:56

Geth rakudo/repl-control-c: 313f0cc1f4 | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | src/core.c/REPL.pm6
Allow CTRL-c to stop entry in REPL

And a second CTRL-c to exit the REPL if nothing else was entered.
This in response to #4402.
This does *not* achieve the suggested behaviour of being able to stop a runaway piece of code, as Raku's signal handler runs on a different thread and we currently do not have a way to force an exception on anything else but the current thread. It *does* allow one to restart entry without having to remove all characters.		 12:08

rakudo/repl-control-c: c52e11dbec | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | src/core.c/REPL.pm6
Don't need to check if signal tap is installed

As the REPL loop is actually inside the repl-loop method.		 12:17

stoned75 hi 13:04
I'm looking at rakudo's Num.Str implementation and I must admit I do not understand how it works :-( 13:06
reading github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/mast...m.pm6#L120 13:07
I understand that a "numeric" is unboxed and directly feeded to p6box_s() which does... a string boxing. 13:08
but where the stringification occurs ?
in unbox_n() or in p6box_s() ?
If I believe github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/mast...wn#p6box_s it can't be p6box_s(), am I wrong ? 13:18
MasterDuke aiui, nqp sees a num being fed into a register that expects a str, and so calls coerce_ns 13:22
which ends up here github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/blob/mast...#L257-L278 13:24
stoned75 oooh
13:25 djinni` left, morayj joined 13:26 djinni` joined
stoned75 I guess MASTCompilerInstance.coerce()/coercion() does this coercion dispatch ? 13:30
MasterDuke yeah github.com/Raku/nqp/blob/master/sr...#L412-L649 13:34
stoned75 Ok I guess I more or less got it. thanks ! 13:45
MasterDuke np 13:46

RakuAST node for s/// and friends

There's rather a lot of semantics in here, although the implementation in the current compiler frontend seems to make things a little more complex or less efficient than they could be. Of note:
  * It seems we can emit code to truth-test the `.match` result, rather
