Sort of a rehash on an old topic, but there's new stuff now with A6.
Mike Lazarro had been making a list of all the operators that Perl6 has.
The latest version I could find was Take 6 (at
http://archive.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg12130.html).
So, my questions:
1. Is there a more recent version of this list?
2. Perhaps this list ought to be expanded to specify how the operators
relate to context (e.g., C<+> applies numeric context to LHS and RHS).
I'm happy to give this a go, but I'd prefer the most recent operator
list first.
3. Speaking of context, what's the complete tree of contexts now?
Am I missing anything from this? Are ArrayRef and HashRef et al still
needed, or are we going away from the %{...} notation for dereferencing
a hash?
Type context
|
+--- Scalar
| |
| +--- Bool
| |
| +--- Num
| | |
| | +--- Int
| |
| +--- Str
| |
| +--- Ref
| |
| +--- HashRef
| |
| +--- ArrayRef
| |
| +--- CodeRef
| |
| +--- ScalarRef
|
+--- List
| |
| +--- (lazy and eager?)
|
+--- Void
(Is there a Pair context? PairRef? My guess is no.)
What about other, orthogonal, context-like things?
Lvalue/Rvalue (i.e., do to with C<=>)?
Binding/Nonbinding (i.e., to do with C<:=>)?
