Artur Swiderski (Jan 10 2024 at 20:00): Artur Swiderski (Jan 10 2024 at 20:00):it used to be possible to do h = 'a' how to do this now ?
Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 10 2024 at 20:03):That should still work
Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 10 2024 at 20:05):That said it isn't guaranteed to fit in a u8
» x = 'a'
97 : Int *
» b = '🎅'
127877 : Int *
ok it was just '$' is '\$' now
Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 10 2024 at 20:22):ah. Yeah makes sense given the new interpolation syntax will be "$(someExpr)". Though I guess that really shouldn't be need for single characters.
Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 10 2024 at 20:22):@Richard Feldman would you consider this a bug or should we just always require \$? I thought the plan was that we almost never need \$ cause seeing $1.25 is clearly not interpolation.
Richard Feldman (Jan 10 2024 at 20:30):oh yeah that's a bug
Richard Feldman (Jan 10 2024 at 20:30):$ should still work the same as before
David Dunn (Jan 16 2024 at 14:47):Opened #6390 as I couldn't find an existing issue for this
