It seems to me that arbitrarily changing the precedence of a function
would produce a horrible maintenance nightmare.
It would mean recognising what had been done, interpreting the first
example found in a different way than any other code, then tracking
down any other place the trick had been used
You're quite correct Brad, so maybe I mis-stated my observation:
> any( eq any())
any(any(False, False))
> eq any()
any(False, False)

Would the first line of code above code (wrapping an 'eq' call inside
an any-junction, along with another any-junction) be written by a
Raku programmer? If so,
It does actually make sense to call any on any
say (1, 2, 3).any + (4, 5, 6).any
# any(any(5, 6, 7), any(6, 7, 8), any(7, 8, 9))

Q1. Does it make any sense to call "any" on "any" (i.e. nested "any"
calls)? Could this anti-pattern be used to generate a

That's a good thought. The code wouldn't read as nicely, though (the

I would suggest calling .any on the list, that gives you just the tight

My guess: tighter and looser are only consulted by the parser
in contexts where 'any' was recognized as an *operator*.
BEGIN trait_mod:(&any, :tighter(&infix:<*>));
comes to mind, but that doesn't seem to do the trick.

Thanks, makes sense.

The "any" function is just like any other function taking an arbitrary list of
arguments (including user-defined functions). As such it parses with lower
precedence than comparison operators -- so "eq" binds more tightly than "any".
Thus
say so any eq any ;
parses like
say(so(any( eq
I was just playing around with junctions a bit today, and I
noticed that if you weren't religious about using parenthesis
with them you could get quietly tripped up:
say so any() eq any(); # True (as expected)
say so any() eq any(); # False (as expected)
say so any eq any ; #
12 matches
