| ab5tract | Except that’s wrapped with statement stuffs | 15:40 | |
| Also, though it’s usually technically impolite to do so, you can always use nqp::bindattr and friends to manipulate the attributes of an object directly | 15:41 | ||
| Found SmokeMachine++’s repo github.com/FCO/ASTQuery | 15:42 | ||

| disbot2 | <antononcube> I am going to file issues on the documentation side of that repository/package. | 16:31 | |
| lizmat | antononcube I would write !extract-expression something like: if try $ast.statements andthen .elems == 1 { (try $ast.statements.head.expression) // $ast } | 16:50 | |
| but yeah, looks like a legit way of using the Raku grammer to create an AST of an expression, and then taking it apart :-) | 16:52 | ||

| woolfy | Hi folks. Just passing by. Breaking the silence here, sorry. Nice to see many familiar names. Greetz, Wendy | 17:00 | |
| disbot2 | <antononcube> @woolfy This is a place for raccoons. Wolfs might feel more at home in the Wolfram Lang forums... | 17:15 | |
| woolfy | Meh, I don't dig Wolfram. Raku pleases the eye and looks more like fun (when I look over lizmat 's shoulder, that is). | 17:19 | |
| disbot2 | <antononcube> Ok. BTW, you are saying that you do not dig Raku either, just watching it. | 17:28 | |
| <antononcube> It is one my missions to provide in Raku functionalities alternative to Wolfram's. Some, not all. | 17:29 | ||
| woolfy is just watching over lizmat 's shoulder, haven't programmed a line in over a decade... | 17:40 | ||
| disbot2 | <antononcube> LLMs know Raku -- better and better. | 17:42 | |
| woolfy | Never used AI, not planning to. Want to think for myself. | ||
| disbot2 | <antononcube> Code generation with AI is not thinking. You have to be able describe what you want reasonably well. | 17:44 | |
| woolfy | Yeah, I'd rather watch over the shoulder of an awesome programmer than to help AI get better. | 17:48 | |

| perryprog | I wonder what the least used Wolfram function is | 18:26 | |
