Double junction arguments swapping sides

Question

I'm confused about how double junctions are supposed to work.

This makes some sense:

say all('a', 'b', 'c') ~ any('d', 'e');

gives

all(any(ad, ae), any(bd, be), any(cd, ce))

This doesn't make sense:

say any('a', 'b', 'c') ~ all('d', 'e');

gives

all(any(da, db, dc), any(ea, eb, ec))

It confuses me because the letter 'a' which I would expect to be on the left of the letter 'd' is now on the right.

Answer 1

This was indeed a bug. This has been fixed with https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/4ef8433aa2 .

Thank you for your question / bug report! The next Rakudo compiler release / next Rakudo Star release will contain this fix.
