<stellarpower> So far looks like it builds, but all I get when running is: `Could not load source '??'.`
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Do folks know if this is expected to work at the moment, or are there known issues with the debugging with VS Code?

<stellarpower> Also see there's now an interpreter built-in, can't wait to try! Will I need to build form source?

<oprypin:matrix.org> @stellarpower: yes you need to build from source

<stellarpower> Presumably I should be able to do this bootstrapping crystal from pre-built binaries for my distro, then recompiling itself(?)
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> What os are you on?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> /arch
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> Most likely probably just need to clone the repo and run `make`
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Ubuntu
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Was just abotu to see if there's a build image I can run in a container instead
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> I think there is, but don't remember the exact name
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> I see some stuff in Circle CI, presume that's doing it
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Ah, it's the dot. Literally just came across it by accident.
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> So unary plus has higher precedence when trying to resolve that?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> more so that its the same as like `array.reduce { |v| +v }` which wouldn't actually sum them
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> so you get the wrong, but technically correct, value
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Yeah
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> So I mean say
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> &./ would work because there's no unary slash?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> correct
<FromGitter>
<HertzDevil> no?
<FromGitter>
<HertzDevil> it
<FromGitter>
<HertzDevil> 'd still expand to `{ |v| v./ }`
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> yea, but would fail since it needs another value.
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Oh cause the dot is usiung it like a member?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> `1 / 2` is the same as `1./(2)`
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> `/` is just a method
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Yeah
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> So it's no different from taking any other member using that syntax. I don't know the term, but what would be &:methodName in Ruby
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> so Iguess back to the original point, then it's not possible to take a binary infix operator like that
<FromGitter>
<HertzDevil> always think it is a mistake in both ruby and crystal that you can have fewer block parameters than there are yield arguments
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> I guess it kinda worksfrom the sense that you can just choose ot ignore them in the block
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> If a function operates a bit like a map, but actually you just want to iterate over it. Hash key-value pairse for example. Or you just want to execute it enough times

<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> fwiw `Hash` does provide like `each_value` and `each_key`
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> Yee
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> I think the stdlib is pretty covered, but form experience in Ruby I can easily imagine gems that don' overload in the same way. So if they provide one function that takes a proc then I can see how it's useful to be able to ignore the arguments, without needing a million underscores
<FromGitter>
<stellarpower> IF you were doing networking stuff, maybe you only care about the body per request, and all the headers and cookies and response code info can just be discarded
