keutoi Is there a reason this docs.raku.org/type/Metamodel::Documenting kind of documentation is not used within rakudo impelementation? 08:40
lizmat keutoi ?? 08:41
s/rakudo/raku ?
keutoi m: say 1.WHY 08:42
camelia No documentation available for type 'Int'. Perhaps it can be found at
docs.raku.org/type/Int
»
lizmat Ah, that!
that kind of documentation is not used in the setting because of bootstrapping issues 08:43
well, historically anyway
keutoi So using it within external modules is encouraged?
lizmat yes! 08:44
keutoi lizmat: Thank you.

tbrowder hi, folks 12:33
tbrowder i found what is to me a trap while porting some old perl code. i was trying to demo it above 12:36
the docs don't say a lot about qq quotes which i use a lot for file generation. 12:37

Rename API::Perspective repo		 12:37
tbrowder the code above works great in perl but the $a needs to be inside curly braces. the docs don't mention the simple case above but show various similar situations that don't require the braces 12:38
*needs to be inside curly braces in raku 12:39
tbrowder gonna try to show a qq again... 12:40
m: say qq:to/H/;foo\nH 12:41
camelia 5===SORRY!5=== Error while compiling <tmp>
Confused
at <tmp>:1
------> 3say qq:to/H/;foo\7⏏5nH
tbrowder i think i need the tiny newline but don't know how to enter it 12:44
tbrowder anyway, the error mentions strings can't be indexed, probably due to the left angle bracket immediately following the $a in the case above. i'll file a doc issue 13:12
pyl3r Hello, I've been having problems installing zef, anyone else facing the same problems? 15:02

Rename API::Perspective repo
Xliff Is there any way to get the implementing class from a method? 16:55
Especially if the method belongs to a role?
m: role A { method this-one { 1; }; }; class B does A { }; A.^lookup('this-one').package.^name.say 16:56
camelia A
Xliff I want a way that will report "B" 16:57
Especially if I can get the type object as opposed to the string.
Above example isn't quite true to form. 16:58
m: role A { method this-one { 1; }; }; class B does A { }; my &m = ('this-one'); &m.package.^name.say
camelia Type check failed in assignment to &m; expected Callable but got Str ("this-one")
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
Xliff m: role A { method this-one { 1; }; }; class B does A { }; my &m = A.^lookup('this-one'); &m.package.^name.say
camelia A
Xliff m: role A { method this-one { 1; }; }; class B does A { }; my &m = B.^lookup('this-one'); &m.package.^name.say 16:59
camelia A
Xliff I only have access to &m in my situation.
