kawaii method mint(UInt $value) { 10:01

Transaction.^create(batch => UUID.new, :$value, from-account => 'mint', to-account => self.account, termination-point => 'system');

}
}
ah why did that paste directly
I think I have some misconception about Exceptions in Raku, I want to both display the error message from the exception to the user, without also killing the program?
try/CATCH both seem to swallow the .message from my exception however 10:02
I seem to either only be able to have my exception print it's .message in the console and kill the program, or not kill the program but provide no output :( 10:03
moritz m: sub dangerous { die "oh noez"} ; try dangerous(); say $! if $!; say "I'm still standing" 10:07
camelia oh noez
in sub dangerous at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1

I'm still standing
moritz kawaii: ^^ something like that?
I think in your sample code the .resume is wrong
just print it there? or do nothing 10:08
kawaii moritz: so you're right in the sense that doing this works `CATCH { when X::Mint::Account::IsFrozen { say("✗ account '$!account' is frozen and thus immutable") } }` but it makes me wonder why I would bother to have any error message in the Exception itself at all `class X::Mint::Account::IsFrozen is Exception { has $.account; has $.message = "✗ account '$!account' is frozen and thus immutable"; }` 10:12
10:24 frost joined
moritz kawaii: the point is that as the author of the code that raises the exception, you cannot be sure it'll only be called in context where it is specifically caught 10:31
so you give it a good message in case it's raised and not caught, and also makes debugging easier 10:32
or maybe somebody catches many possible exception classes, logs the error
Voldenet Error message in Exception is not necessary in any language 10:35
but a lot of times you define exceptions that aren't this precise 10:36
moritz in python, anytime any value is slightly unexpected, it's a ValueError. Easy to remember, hard to distinguish between different ValueErrors 10:38
it's tradeoffs all the way down :D 10:39
kawaii I think I understand a little better now, thanks for the explanations
moritz you're welcome 10:44

sienet_ja_LSD[m] how do I coerce a scalar (that could be either Int or Rat) to uint8? there's no method like .Int 13:07

[Coke] m: my uint $a = 121; dd $a.WHAT 14:00
camelia Int
[Coke] m: my uint $a = 121; put $a.WHAT 14:01
camelia Use of uninitialized value of type Int in string context.
Methods .^name, .raku, .gist, or .say can be used to stringify it to something meaningful.

in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
[Coke] If I do $a.WHAT in the REPL, I get Cannot invoke object of type 'NQPMu' 14:02
m: my uint $a = 121; say $a.WHAT
camelia (Int)
[Coke] I can't seem to get it to explode here
uzl[m] patrickb: The "Think X" series is more CS and programming basics than language-centric per se. I think Laurent Rosenfeld did a great job at both teaching the CS concepts discussed in the book through a Raku lense 14:06

Xliff If I have a parameter that is constant. How can I pull out that value? 14:50
I am speaking in terms of the Parameter class.
14:51 peder left
Xliff So in "sub a ("b") { ... }", I can get the parameter by "$p = &a.signature.params[0]", but how do I get $p to print "b"? 14:51
moritz it's in .constraints 14:52
MasterDuke m: sub a ("b") { ... }; my $p = &a.signature.params[0]; say $p.constraints
camelia all(b)
MasterDuke m: sub a ("b") { ... }; my $p = &a.signature.params[0]; say $p.constraint_list 14:53
camelia (b)
moritz m: sub a ("b") { ... }; my $p = &a.signature.params[0]; say $p.constraint_list[0]
camelia b
Xliff Ah, thanks! 14:54

I may have a small edit on that to specifically call out Rakudo version, but otherwise seems fine.
(we have a long standing request about having a specific way to mark items that deal with specific versions but we don't have to solve that before applying this commit.) 15:51

uzl[m] [Coke]: That sounds fine to me 👍️ 17:34
Note there's a small discrepancy between my commit message and the one is documenting, namely the "return [LHS|RHS] for ties" part. Probably codesections made a typo there, and used RHS instead of LHS 17:36
<uzl[m]> "codesections: Do you mind..." <- ^ I asked codesections for clarification but he's not around apparently... However from the behavior described and the example, it seems LHS is the right terminology here 17:38
