<frettled> diakopter​: actually, 1, 0, -1, -2 etc :)
<diakopter> ohhh
<frettled> rakudo​: say (1...^*).batch(10).perl
<p6eval> rakudo 4edd19​: OUTPUT«(1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8)â�¤Â»
<diakopter> why would ^* produce that
* masak submits rakudobug for '1...^*'
<diakopter> what's that supposed to do?
<PerlJam> masak​: are you sure that's a bug? :)
<diakopter> I don't know what ^* should do
<masak> PerlJam​: I think it is, yes.
<masak> PerlJam​: it shouldn't count downwards.

From @awwaiid

Actually it looks like rakudo does this correctly now​:

say (1...^*).batch(10).perl
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
