or raku -e 'say "etbjxntqrdke".comb.map(*.succ).join'

* No separate types of bytestrings versus sequences of unicode codepoints. Fixed in Raku. You either have a string (Str) or a bytestream (Blob). * Wherever there's strings in any n…

And the original blog post from almost a year ago: https://dev.to/lizmat/towards-a-raku-foundation-3ne2

From a blog post, to a problem solving issues, to passing a lot of hurdles: The Raku Foundation is here! https://dev.to/lizmat/a-year-later-a-trf-1lh0

The Rakudo implementation of the Raku Programming Language uses the MoarVM, which is pretty much a generic VM. All you need to do(TM) is write a grammar and associated actions to b…

It also goes from source code to AST: $ raku -e 'say Q|say "Hello World!"|.AST' RakuAST::StatementList.new( RakuAST::Statement::Expression.new( expression => RakuAST::Call::Name::W…

> In the raku example, what if the elements were to be multiplied? $ raku -e 'say (0, 1, 2, * × * ... )[^10]' # for readability (0 1 2 2 4 8 32 256 8192 2097152) $ raku -e 'say (0,…

Nothing stopping you from creating a L10N::LA module :-)

You mean like: my $a of Int = 42; say $a; # 42 or my $a of Int = "foo";' # Type check failed in assignment to $a; expected Int but got Str ("foo") ?

FWIW, cannot reproduce on Safari 18.6 on MacOS 15.6.1

Technically, no. As Rakudo is not a programming language, and Perl6 is a deadname. But there are indeed plenty of people doing projects with the Raku Programming Language.

Please, stop deadnaming the Raku Programming Language :-)

There is a Perl 5 compatibility mode: it's called Inline::Perl5. Maybe not the one that was originally planned. But that was only a real possibility if Perl 5 would be able to get …

Sadly, that's just Num.gist showing 1.0 as "1" though. say (pi/pi).^name; # Num

Actually, a module can implement any export heuristics by supplying an EXPORT subroutine, which takes positional arguments from the `use` statement, and is expected to return a Map…

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, whether they'd be Raku developers or not.

The Raku Programming language allows one to specify the required version, the required authority and API level: use Foo::Bar:ver :auth :api ; would only work if the at least versio…

Hi Perlgeek, long time no see! I really wish more people would use Raku :-) Because it is all built in there already! :-)

> those numbers show that Perl and Tcl, both "full featured" scripting languages, don't have the least issue on the matter. Anybody using modern Perl will most likely also use Moos…

Startup time is not the strong point of Rakudo. And it will be a long time before it will. Beyond startup, performance definitely has attention of the core developers: that's when …
