<sorear> rakudo: say 0.1.WHAT.perl; <p6eval> rakudo 6783b5: OUTPUT«Rat» <sorear> rakudo: my $a; $a += 0.1; say $a.WHAT.perl; <p6eval> rakudo 6783b5: OUTPUT«Num» <sorear> masak bot, we need you <sorear> Any + 0.1 is a Num <sorear> bug <jnthn> sorear: Interesting. :-/ <jnthn> sorear: I know why it happens. <jnthn> Essentially we call back to Num if no candidates match. <jnthn> Rat + Rat has a candidate <jnthn> (other thing) + Rat doesn't <jnthn> I guess we could go adding Any:U + Rat candidates. <jnthn> But...hm. :-) <masak> so the bug is that after the loop, $a is a Num and not a Rat? <jnthn> masak: That's not the heart of it. <sorear> masak: the bug is that adding a Rat to an Any protoobject gives a Num <masak> rakudo: my $a; $a += 0.1; say $a.WHAT <p6eval> rakudo 6783b5: OUTPUT«Num()» <sorear> rakudo: my Rat $a; $a += 0.1; say $a.WHAT <masak> so that's the bug? <sorear> yes * masak submits rakudobug * jnthn would be interested to hear the langauge design angle on how the bug should be fixed <jnthn> I agree it's unintuitive.
