Must specify a non-empty string as a path
Originally saw this only on Blin, this is on my day to day mac.
lizmat and yet another Rakudo Weekly News hits the Net: rakudoweekly.blog/2024/09/10/2024-...hlighting/ 15:54
ugexe [Coke]: maybe run zef --help and check whatever file it shows for CONFIGURATION 16:16
antononcube Can someone point out to a native-call package / module that uses different C libraries on different operating systems? 16:18
Alternatively, I can make just a specific package for the macOS “Accelerate” library. What would be a good name? “macOS::Accelerate”, “Math::Accelerate”, or just “Accelerate” ? 16:23
Maybe, there is convention to use “lib” in the names of those kind of Raku packages… 16:24
Hmm.... it seems "LibAccelerate" might fit a few packages in raku.land. The things is, I do no want to start developing such a package -- "Accelerate" is huge! 16:33

is there a simple way to EVAL raku code and capture its stdout into a Str variable (or should I wrap in a Proc::Async)? 17:00

librasteve yep - that'll work nicely - thanks! 17:03
beautiful 17:05
holmdunc Is using ␤ unicode characters when serialising strings a uniquely Raku flourish? Don't think I've seen it anywhere else 17:35
antononcube Mathematica / Wolfram Language does it. (It has to, in order to do symbolic mathematics.) 17:36
In Mathematica is more complicated than in Raku, though. And it is more prone to breaking when using whatever transfer protocols or mechanisms. (E.g. ZeroMQ.) 17:38
holmdunc I thought it seemed like a purely stylistic thing, instead of e.g. the character \ then n 17:48
It certainly reads better for human consumption 17:56
timo i think it's specifically a thing the ircbot does 17:57
holmdunc I've seen it throughout the examples in the docs and thought surely everyone isn't typing that by hand each time, it must be a systematic thing 🙂 18:06
[Coke] having written some of those docs, I almost always cut and paste it, yes. 18:24
Or just copy it from the bot output.
