Types for Perl 6: request for comments

Rationalizing numeric types

Yary, There already is a Perl 6 continue fractions module. Spoiler alert: it doesn't work in the least. But I'd be happy to give you a commit bit. I don't think we should even begin to think about including something like that in the Perl 6 core before we have a complete, working

Re: Language design

I like the explanation of how Rats solve a class of rounding errors, 0.3 - (0.2 + 0.1) equals exactly 0 for example. On the other hand, it's still a compromise that's shifting closer to correctness, fixing a bunch of potential bugs, but not all in that class: Rakudo: say 2 - (sqrt 2) ** 2

A couple years ago I wrote a little Perl6 in response to a challenge, and it took me a while to figure out BUILD, BUILDALL, and new(). Learning the object model meant reading what was available on the web plus some time on the #perl6 IRC channel. I managed to get it all working properly for my

Yes, unpredictable performance is a price I'm willing to pay. I'm using a dynamic language after all. If you aren't willing to pay it, just use typed variables. Or even native types, like num or int. Choose your own number representation -- there's more than one way to do it. The design

Re: Language design

The goal is to avoid everyone using a different not fully compatible version of everything. Like in perl 5 with the bunch of different ways to do objects, signatures etc. Pilling good things on top of each others rather than aiming for an elegant design is what I consider the core idea of Perl.

Re: Language design

Yes. It looks nice that Perl 6 recognizes zero in this way, but the consequence is that each implementation of Perl 6 has to run a gcd algorithm every now and then. I'd be very surprised if the computational complexity of any useful (even approximate) gcd algorithm doesn't scale with the with

I really understand your point. If there was several competing OOP modules, things *could* get really complicated (in my opinion, it isn't the case for perl 5, but it is worth discussing), but it doesn't seem as if anyone has put any effort into defining what needs to be common and what
