Re: Different return values with "say" vs "put" (Nil representation... )

You are misunderstanding what `put` does. It does not print the internal representation. What it does do is turn the value into a `Str` object, then print it with a trailing newline. It just so happens that objects will by default return something that looks like an internal representation when

Re: Different return values with "say" vs "put" (Nil representation... )

"say $x" is essentially equivalent to "put $x.gist". Since Nil is undefined (roughly equivalent to a type object), Nil.gist has a string value of "Nil" and can be printed. However, attempting to convert Nil directly into a Str throws an error because that's attempting to stringify an

Different return values with "say" vs "put" (Nil representation... )

Hello, I'm interested in knowing the differences between the return values when "say" is used compared to "put". My understanding is that "put" returns Raku's internal representation of a value held by a variable, while "say" is merely "put" with the .gist method called on it (a "human readable",
