Dear All, This is not a bug, but not sure how to add a suggestion. I love the helpful Sorry! messages and I think there is some room for an improvement to one. It would have saved me about 20 mins headache last night anyway. Bitwise operators in perl6 are not the same as in c, perl5 or other languages and this can catch people out. I discovered a helpful message with >> but there is none for & instead it makes a junction for you. It took me ages to figure this out. > my $a = 4 4 > $a >> 2 ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling <unknown file> Unsupported use of >> to do right shift; in Perl 6 please use +> or ~> at <unknown file>:1 ------> $a >>⏏ 2 > $a & 2 all(4, 2) I wonder if there is benefit in adding a parenthesis to this indicating the other bitwise operators) such as Unsupported use of >> to do right shift; in Perl 6 please use +> or ~> (other bitwise operators are similar +< right shift, +& and , +| or, +! negation) Keep up the good work!
