One last final piece I want to add in while we prepare to document what is worth documenting in issues is what I was trying to get at in this comment:
https://www.reddit.com/r/perl/comments/93dabg/perl_6_small_stuff_4_why_perl_isnt_cobol_nor/e3etgvf/ Reviewing it I think I got a couple things wrong in it; I'd appreciate any comment you have about what I wrote. I have long planned to write up one or more related issues and think with your prodding I feel I'll likely be able to coherently write them up. ---- https://design.raku.org/S02.html#Numeric_Types is also worth a read. One bit pertinent to my above comment: > Num.Str and Num.gist both produce valid Num literals, so they must > include the e for the exponential. ... > say 2e2; # 200e0 or 2e2 or 200.0e0 or 2.0e2 (Raku currently displays just `200`). -- raiph
