Why does Perl 6 have many undefined values If everything derives from `Mu` doesn't that mean everything is undefined [performative programmer anger]

When I get upset about things in reality I take it out on Perl 6 Here's the built-in method for taking the cosine of the length of an array https://docs.perl6.org/type/Array.html#(Cool)_routine_cos …

* Perl 6 has a core class called `Cool` * Yes, not a role, a class * A `Cool` is an object which can be treated as both a string and a number * "COOL" stands for "convenient object-oriented loop"

I just love how the name "Raku Perl 6" implies the existence of, say, Raku Perl 5, "to clear up any confusion"

I know we as a discipline have a famously difficult time naming things but seriously how can we be this bad at it

this made me think about some deep fucking math. since pi is irrational, would that mean that for integers, given infinite precision, cos A = cos B means A = B? in other words did they accidentally stumble on a safe reversible encoding for length?
-
cos(1) = cos(-1) but if A and B are both non-negative, maybe I guess

To be fair that's the built-in method for taking the cosine of anything that can be coerced to a number, not just arrays. But yes, that's the sloppiest type system that I've ever seen that can still be called a type system.

I like the method unpolar...but I feel it should receive two arguments, not one and use the invocant as magnitude
