I didn't realise until just now that #Debian is packaging #RakuLang modules. Moreover that nearly half of those modules were written by me 😱
Maybe I should have realised up when there were Debian people asking me how I tagged my releases.
Are there other programming languages other than #RakuLang and #Erlang that have multiple dispatch selection based on expression?
E.g.
multi sub paths(IO() $path where * cmp '/' === Same) { $path }
or
fib(X) when X <2 ->
1;
(randomly selected from my computer.)
So it seems grepping for "where" in a #RakuLang codebase isn't all that useful 🤣

#FOSDEM was awesome as always! Lots of action around the #perl and #rakulang table. Well done to everyone who volunteered!
um projeto que tenho vontade de fazer com ajuda de IA (tem me faltado ânimo) é escrever algoritmos básicos de IA (nada de LLMs etc) numa linguagem chamada Raku #rakulang
me baseando no livro texto do Russel & Norvig
meio que por acaso outro dia escrevi um algoritmo bem básico
chamado "A*"
fun 😀
Back in Brussels for #FOSDEM week! Full program from Tuesday to Monday 😅

If what you wanted this morning was to hear a #RakuLang program¹ playing the Amen Break forever* then I've got you sorted:

@liztormato.bsky.social worked for several days on the last of the Raku Advent Calendar blogs. She summarizes what was done in the Raku Programming Language. And that was a lot. So Liz wrote a very long blog with a lot of information.

The Raku Advent Calendar is on its 22nd day. Meaning, there are now 22 blogs about Raku with many different interesting topics, like LLM / AI, data science, PDF, mathematics, concurrency, language, caching, and many more.

Larry Wall has answered to an issue in #rakulang @gellyfish.uk opened in 2021... github.com/Raku/doc/iss...
It was sunny August when I visited Olten for a #rakulang workshop; it’s a picture-perfect town, as most in Switzerland are, and this is one of the features: the Rathskeller, a typical restaurant. I think we had a few drinks there, but I want to focus today on the art and architecture.
#rakulang
in raku.org
there's a typo in the landing page, where it tells of signatures
"optonal" should be "optional"
I don't know where to open an issue
Nice!
Someone has begun an #HPMOR comic! 😄

Who would have known that a JKR-free #rational fan fiction of #HarryPotter (love the work, don't care for the author) would be awesome enough to be made into both audiobooks, podcasts and a cartoon?
I'm really happy more […]
Raku: The match of a regex is automatically stored in $/, and this variable then also provides access to the text before ($/.prematch), to the text after ($/.postmatch), and to the match's position ($/.from and $/.to). Nice.
docs.raku.org/language/regexes […]
@glyph Do you think that languages with a large core (#rakulang?) may have a security advantage here, because they require less reliance on external libraries, whereas their core code could more plausibly be assumed to be sufficiently scrutinized?
Even in the case of perfectly trustworthy […]
Something like f-strings or template literals or the like with automatic dedent and, this is the format-like bit, a multi-line aware interpolation syntax.
Writing it this way, I’m realizing that Raku probably has all this (and more), doesn’t it?
#raku #programming
#Perl: older than some #programming careers, younger at heart than you think.
It’s evolved a lot since 1999 — modern features, cleaner syntax — yet it still runs code you wrote decades ago.
(And if you’re wondering: #Perl6 was renamed Raku in 2019 — it’s a different sister language, not a […]

@jedi começa em #RakuLang que as regex são ainda mais poderosas (e a sintaxe tem diferenças, então é um trem novo pra aprender)

Steve Roe (librasteve) published a new Rakudo Weekly Newsletter today, which starts (again) with work by @lizmat on SBOM because of the EU's Cyber Resiliance Act.
Enjoy!

My @liz started work on this for Raku, nudged and supported by Salve J. Nilsen , who I know for being a great organiser of events and an overall nice and smart guy.

The European Union has agreed, a few years ago, on the CRA: the Cyber Resilience Act.
To me, it is a bit like the software version of the CE-marking on toys, electronics, and other commercial goods that need to comply to safety, health, and environmental proctection standards of the EU.

I am alert on the new Rakudo Weekly Newsletter and immediately post about it! Steve Roe (librasteve) just published a new Rakudo Weekly Newsletter, and starts with work by @lizmat on SBOM because of the EU's Cyber Resiliance Act.
Enjoy!

Ow again! I am a nutcase, and told myself last week 'there is a new one'. Sorry for being tardy.
Last week, on the regular Monday, Steve Roe (librasteve) published a new Rakudo Weekly Newsletter, which starts with gorgeous turtle graphics made with Raku.
