* masak submits rakudobug
<moritz_> didn't std.pm carp about obsolete use of C++ constructor
about this one?
<masak> moritz_​: note colon at end
<tylercurtis> moritz_​: it's just indirect object syntax.
<moritz_> oh.

* moritz_ not sure that syntax is a good idea
<pmichaud> afaik, rakudo doesn't grok indirect object syntax yet
<masak> pmichaud​: it used to, though, right?
<pmichaud> masak​: I don't think we ever handled indirect object syntax, no.
<masak> ok.
<masak> marking it as TODO, then.

From @timo

this has been solved some time ago​:

class A { }; my $a = new A;
Unsupported use of C++ constructor syntax; in Perl 6 please use method
call syntax

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

@timo - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'
