guifa can you use the EXPORT sub to push out a multi sub without clobbering the other versions of it? 03:02

su.shi custom operators are super slow to start up, is there anyway to precompile them or something? 12:35
seems like it's just the circumfix operator 12:36
i love this language so much 12:37
12:40 jpn joined
now if only i could make a custom operator do word quoting 12:41
antononcube @sushi I assume you want unary operator. (Instead of using the Q-lang.) 12:45
su.shi i would like to be able to define something like sub prefix:<`>(*@a) {...} and use it like `my words to pass; instead of `<my words to pass>; 12:46
nemokosch yeah that sounds beyond what operators can do 12:52
basically you want to create a slang
antononcube @sushi Hmm... you might be able to do this: ` my words to pass; , say, using RakuAST. 12:58
su.shi ah not worth it for the little script im writing 13:00
ill have to look into it sometime thoguh
thanks

Hi. I want to create a Promise that runs a piece of code that I can kick off at a later date. 22:08
tbrowder__ ok, what is the easy way with raku to copy a file. docs specify copying a path to a path. so to copy file "a/foo" to dir "b" we have to "copy a/foo, b/foo". what a pain. why can't raku "copy a/foo, b/"?
Xliff tbrowder: Why not make a sub? 22:09
sub copyFile ($a, $b) { $a.IO.copy($b) }
$a and $b are filenames

antononcube @tbrowder " @Anton Antonov a sensitive question on yr recent speech in russia, any sense of Russian scientists' opinions on invasion?" -- The conference I attended (and gave presentation at) was in St. Petersburg, Russia, but I did my participation online. (I think 95% attended in person) So, it is somewhat difficult for me to judge what people think about the invasion, without having my own biases and 22:31
preconceptions.
Xliff m: sub a { say 42 }; my @a = (); a( |@a ) 22:33
camelia 42
tbrowder__ Xliff: ah, a sub, that's a good idea, 22:40
antonantonov: thanks, i assumed you were there for some reason 22:41
Xliff: i'll try it but i don't think it will work with dirs 22:45
22:47 Voldenet left
tbrowder__ this is a kludge one-liner: copy $patha, "$somedir/{$patha.IO.basename}" 22:47
that works, but making that a sub is a good idea. but still, raku should handle it better 22:48
i think i filed an issue long ago and it got shot down 22:49
22:53 Voldenet joined 22:56 jpn joined
tbrowder__ no, i didn't. so what do ppl think about having raku's "copy" allow coping to a directory? posix does, why not raku? 22:57
*copying

tbrowder__ antononcube: ^^^ 23:14
antononcube @tbrowder Thank you for your interest! 🙂 23:17
@tbrowder I am "in the middle" of using "Text::Utils". 23:18
tbrowder__ antononcube: i bought wolfram’s giant book not long after it came out. i thought he had solved the universe with his magic. you have piqued my interest again in the wolfram products. prices have come down a lot and the relations/transforms you’ve shown between raku and wolfram are intriguing. 23:42
i know a woman who uses an excel spreadsheet in weird ways to create weekly schedules for our local senior center. i tried to help her with automating some of the process with raku but didn’t have much luck. wolframs ability to wrangle data from multiple binary sources may make a relook worthwhile. 23:47
antononcube @tbrowder Yes, WL can help. I just released today another version of the WL paclet "DataReshapers": resources.wolframcloud.com/PacletR...Reshapers/ . 23:49
@tbrowder My point is actually, that WL has a more general take on what datasets are -- they do not consider tabular data that important. (At least initially.) Hence, I have been make some paclets and presentations on how to streamline data wrangling in WL. 23:51
Well, I apply the same workflows in Raku too.
