There might not be much to say about this, I just though I'd
mention that I keep getting re-surprised by basics with Raku,
like this one, where first I stash an array away in a hash and
later try to pull the array out again:
my %stash;
my @monsters =
<< godzilla grendel wormface blob fingfangfoom tingler >>;
%stash{'monsters'} = @monsters;
Now some time later, when I wanted to extract that array again,
my first thought was to do this:
my @m = %stash{'monsters'};
But that doesn't get the original array back, instead you end up
with the entire original array as the first element of a newly
created array:
# [[godzilla grendel wormface blob fingfangfoom tingler]]
Yary Hluchan pointed out that I could slip it out, and get what
I wanted:
my @m = | %stash{'monsters'};
say @m;
# [godzilla grendel wormface blob fingfangfoom tingler]
Though for what I'm doing now, I think it might be better to
just alias it with the binding operator:
my @m := %stash{'monsters'};
So, like I said: I don't have any particular questions about this,
I think I more or less know what's going on... it will be a while
before I stop tripping over this sort of thing, though.
