Hi all, I’ve just made my first merge request into core, I would like to introduce a new operator <: (confold) - a prefix operator for compile-time constants. The Problem: Even literal string have runtime overhead. my $name = “string value”; # StIl executes ops at runtime The Solution: Add an operator so I can ensure folding at compile time. my $name = <: “string value”; # Folded away - zero runtime ops.
