[perl #81548] [BUG] Can't do 'handles' on a type in Rakudo

2011-01-06 Thread Moritz Lenz via RT
FWIW 'has $!a handles TypeObject' is now implemented, and works fine for roles. It doesn't work for classes, because they have a .new method. So the standard .new is overridden, trying to call the .new on an attribute, but since there's no instance yet, the access to the attribute fails. That's

Also getting the same error here - website specific commands like 'chapter index' still work but nothing else seems to. Is anyone looking at fixing this? Been trying to 'sell' Perl6 to colleagues as a potential future development platform and Try was an excellent way to demonstrate it!

I would be very interested to see something that allowed Rakudo to talk to Fortran 95. I am going to use Fortran 95 for my thesis work, and maybe I could write a module to give Rakudo a basic array language. Nothing fancy like MATLAB, NumPy or PDL, but enough to try out algorithms and prototype

Is it possible to explain briefly wht the Rulle-Takens algorithm is? That web page seems to mainly explain how some fractals like the Mandelbrot set and the Julia set are generated. Is there a specific, simple algorithm that we can try to implement in PDL, Perl 5 and Perl 6? On Thu, Jan 6, 2011
