ramesh Should I learn perl 5 or Raku? I have just started. 07:24
Nemokosch It depends. Currently, I'd say there are two things Perl is fundamentally better at. 07:30
1. backwards-compatibility and accessibility overall. These were the main concerns that resulted in the split in the first place so while Raku was about trying to fix things, Perl moves very slowly and carefully, so that something from 30 years ago will still work. 07:32
smol-hors they're both cool but my fav is Raku 07:35
Nemokosch 2. performance. I'm not sure how much this is intrinsic to the design (hopefully not too much) but as it stands, Perl is way faster and can be compiled to native code. If you want to compete with other mainstream scripting languages regarding speed right here and right now, Perl is ready for that while Raku is not. 07:38
07:39 Sgeo left
What you get in return is: 1. an overall much more versatile and outsider-friendly language 2. generally much more willingness to move things forward and change things if necessary 07:40
Depending on what is your thing, you might like minor details like raku has a REPL and it can generate decent CLI from the signature of the MAIN subroutine 07:41
Or the zef/fez macroverse over oldschool CPAN 07:42
07:43 MoC joined, ramesh left
For the performance: iirc Perl is actually written in C. Now, if you know some C (perhaps any language with binary compatibility?), Raku has great FFI tools and you can do the heavy lifting with a C dynamic library. 07:44
07:51 ramesh joined
Raku also has actual object model and multiple dispatch over types/custom conditions 07:51
I think I couldn't switch to Perl even if I wanted, I'd miss too much of Raku 😄
ramesh Thank you for the detailed information. I appreciate. 07:55

[Coke] ooh, a patch 12:45
Nemokosch Very nice 🥳 12:53
Although I for one wouldn't completely remove examples of what the "open punctuation characters" are, at least a few
or maybe a link to a unicode description

[Coke] Depending on size, you might want to do that by line instead of .slurping the whole thing.
ah, sorry: in fact you do need to do it by lines to get the same effect. one sec. 17:39

lizmat gfldex: but what is the point of storing the substitution if it is discarded ? 18:34
gfldex I would never rule out the possibility to find use for a Raku idiom. Mostly, because I'm not smart enough to contain the whole of Raku in my head. 18:36
Rog Is there a way to get a manually written multi method to work alongside the an autogenerated field accessor? Naïvely this is what I tried: `class Investment { has Rat $.balance; multi method balance(Investment:U: --> Rat) { 0.0 } }` 18:56
`s/the an/an/`
xinming m: class Investment { has Rat $.balance; multi method balance(Investment:D: --> Rat) { 1.0 }; multi method balance(Investment:U: --> Rat) { 0.0 }; }; Investment.balance.say; Investment.new.balance.say; 19:21

Rog Sure, but now try returning the balance field in the defined case 19:23

gfldex <@102059593697361920> There is always a way. :-> 19:30

ugexe "...to work alongside the an autogenerated field accessor?" 19:30
19:30 linkable6 joined
gfldex The autogenerated accessor is of no help, because it isn't a multi. I believe Rog was missing `is built` to make it work. 19:31
lizmat fwiw, you can create your own methods, even if the attribute is public 19:35
the accessors are created *after* a class is parsed and only for those attributes that don't have an accessor yet 19:36
m: class A { has $.foo; method foo() { "bar" } }; my $a = A.new(foo => 42); dd $a; dd $a.foo 19:37
camelia A $a = A.new(foo => 42)
"bar"
gfldex lolibloggedalittle: gfldex.wordpress.com/2022/09/29/rabbitholeing/
Rog Ahh, I had not heard of `is built`
