Binding and the Proxy class

[Ingo Blechschmidt]

Hi,

my $x = new Proxy: FETCH => { foo() }, STORE => { bar($^new) };
$x ~~ Proxy; # true
$x = 42; # neither foo nor bar called
$x ~~ Num; # true

my $y := new Proxy: FETCH => { foo() }, STORE => { bar($^new) };
$y ~~ Proxy; # false (unless foo returns a Proxy object)
$y = 42; # bar(42) called
$y ~~ Proxy; # still false (unless foo returns a Proxy object)
say $y; # foo() called

Correct?

BTW, is it possible to implement the Proxy class in pure Perl? (I don't
think so.)

It would have to be possible, because Perl 6 will be written in Perl 6.

(I like that Perl 6 will be written in Perl 6, because as Perl 6 is very
fast, Perl 6 will probably be fast too. We don't need C for speed ;))

I don't like how Python is will be written in Python. Since Python is
very slow, Python will probably be slow too. :-)
