#whateverstar

[rangi42]

From this Perl 6 presentation:

Whatever Code

Each WhateverStar represents the next positional argument. You can't use WhateverStar to refer to the same argument more than once:

say ( * + * + * )(2, 3, 4); # OUTPUT: # 9

(No, this is not an April Fool’s joke.)

My first question (of many, many questions): how do I multiply!? And if anybody says ( * * * * * )(2, 3, 4) will “just do what you’d expect”, I’ll... stare at them incredulously. And continue to use Python.
