Re: Please create a Raku community channel

I don't think it's a duplication (or, as might be the case, triplication) of resources, or a waste of resources. I learned early on that the "resources" of the community is not, as in a company, a pool with a constant value from which you, as in yourself, can draw to push forward your favorite

Re: Objects, TWEAK and return

Ralph, the last value in all functions are not sunk by default, so of course the last one in `TWEAK` is not sunk by default. This is intended behaviour. It is up to the code that calls a function to sink the result if that is the desired behaviour. sub foo { 'a b c'.words».uc.map:

Re: Objects, TWEAK and return

Here's a golf: class { submethod TWEAK { Any.map: {say 99} } }.new; # class { submethod TWEAK { Any.map: {say 99}; 42 } }.new; # 99 class { submethod TWEAK (--> 42) { Any.map: {say 99} } }.new; # 99 The last line in a `BUILD` or `TWEAK` submethod is not eagerly

Re: Objects, TWEAK and return

I think that this is caused because it is returning a ｢Sequence｣ that is not getting sunk. This is because the last value from a function is never sunk in that function. You could also use ｢eager｣ ｢sink｣ or follow it with ｢Nil｣ or some other value (instead of ｢return｣) eager

Re: Working with a regex using positional captures stored in a variable

It makes <…> more consistent precisely because <$pattern> doesn't capture. If the first character inside is anything other than an alpha it doesn't capture. Which is a very simple description of when it captures. doesn't capture because of the ｢?｣ doesn't capture because of the ｢!｣

At the first glance it looks like bug. Possibly a result of over-optimization. Worth opening an issue at https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues Best regards, Vadim Belman > On Mar 13, 2021, at 3:29 PM, mimosin...@gmail.com wrote: > > Hi, > > When working with this week challenge for the

Re: Please create a Raku community channel

I would like to make an important note here. Up to my knowledge, the new documentation site project is personal initiative of Alexander (Altai-man) of which nobody of RSC members was informed about. For this reason it is rather unlikely that any notification would be issued on any official

Thanks much for the response. Though this isn't particularly about anything mentioned in your book, of course, I was starting with one of your examples then mutating it... Moritz Lenz wrote: > When the match is in a different variable, you need to access the > capture group as $match[0] instead

Thanks much for your answer on this. I think this is the sort of trick I was looking for: Brad Gilbert wrote: > You can put it back in as a named > > $input ~~ / > ｢9 million｣ > pattern => ｢9 million｣ > 0 => ｢9｣ > 1 => ｢million｣ That's good enough, I guess, though

Objects, TWEAK and return

Hi, When working with this week challenge for the PerlWeeklyChallenge , I noticed this behaviour with TWEAK: *This does not work:* submethod TWEAK { $!filelist.lines».split(',').map( -> ($a, $b) { @!show.push: ( $a, $b ) }); } *This works:* submethod
