@profoundlynerdy I don’t know anything about #Rakudo’s internals, but Is there any conceivable way for a language-neutral subset of #RakuLang #regexes to be based on or share its code rather than reimplement them?

The subset might omit things like code interpolation. Or is it all-or-nothing?

It would be a nice teaser for the full power of Raku grammars, kind of like how #iTunes for Windows was #SteveJobs’ offer of “a glass of water to somebody in hell.” https://a.co/5J0CTSL

@z I used #perl 5 heavily, but in the last 5 years moved to #python. It was Perl6 / #Rakudo where everything fell apart.

That and my horrifying memories of researchers "needing" 10+ versions of perl, for some reason served off some rickety #nfs mounts.

@sotolf @benjaminhollon

That's why I appreciate the fact that #Rakudo implements "use strict;" by default.

I don't honestly know the ins & outs of the *insanely* protracted political battle of Perl "6," but I'm very sad that the community ultimately rejected Perl 6, spinning it off as a new language with a new name, making some minor changes to #Perl 5 & calling it Perl 7. :'(

Speaking of which, is Perl 7 coming out any time soon, or is IT going to take 20 years as well? %)

He missed to mention #perl lyrics. Perl is also a good way to lern programming. #rakudo is also https://stackoverflow.blog/2022/07/06/why-perl-is-still-relevant-in-2022/

Welp, I'm famous now, someone ported a Perl 5 script I wrote to #Rakudo Perl 6 and posted on the Perl 6 Advent Calendar about it:
