Evalable

Evalable is just Committable that defaults to HEAD.

Evalable also answers on m: commands if camelia is not around.

You can find some extra examples in tests: evalable.t

While it has never been a goal to replace camelia, over the months committable has gained several advantages. Who knows, maybe one day there will be enough reasons to switch to it?

Usage examples

Basics

<AlexDaniel> m: say 42
<evalable6> AlexDaniel, rakudo-moar 488ca6f06: OUTPUT: «42»

Magical code auto-detection

<AlexDaniel> say you forget to start your message with “m:”
<AlexDaniel> say 42
<evalable6> AlexDaniel, rakudo-moar 488ca6f06: OUTPUT: «42»

Often times people wonder how can it guess which messages are supposed to be eval-ed.

The code for it is rather confusing, but @ipatrol++ wrote a nice simple explanation:

So it only works on “say”, intentionally omits “say I”, omits anything that ends in a period, question mark, or exclamation point, automatically operates on ｢say “…”｣, and otherwise requires a word/nonword character ratio of 10 or less.

These rules were created by grepping through IRC history with Quotable.
