Documentation Channel for #raku | This channel is logged | Roadmap: github.com/raku/doc/wiki
Set by [Coke] on 23 May 2022.
tbrowder hi, asking an opinion on rakupod 2.0: if one writes a pod renderer for a specific use, would it be okay to NOT follow the prescribed conventions for tag style. so we could, say, use all lower-case tags which are said to be reserved and not for the user's to define 11:42
(i can't imagine i would refefine any existing use by the core, which could be disastorous.) 11:45
*redefine
[Coke] rakupod== rakudoc? 11:49
tbrowder yes
[Coke] I know finanalyst & lizmat were involved in design discussions, I'd definitely get their input
tbrowder ok 11:50
[Coke] I added another comment on #4569 that consolidates some things we said previously, hope that helps 11:52
tbrowder i will look. thnx, i'm not trying to be a grinch 11:53
is there a separate channel for rakudoc?
[Coke] nope - but finanalyst is not always on IRC. 11:55
(and most of the discussion for specs took place on github/email, I think) 11:56
so this works, raku-dev probably also works.
tbrowder re #4569 i think Failure needs to be mentioned in the vicinity 12:01
ugh, now i know why i couldn't be a lawyer 12:06
[Coke] dies-ok doesn't have anything to do with a Failure. 12:14
it *only* cares about an Exception
and in one case, you don't have one
and there isn't a Failure here, even - it's a Proc] 12:15
and the docs for run() mention that you get an exception if you sink, and a Proc if you don't.
(it is similar to the operations that don't throw an exception but return a failure, and ugexe or I may have misspoke earlier in the thread and said Failure, if so, apologies 12:16
