* 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 non-trivially-sized real-word Perl 5 project, there is

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 build the right bytecode out of the given Python source.

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::WithoutParentheses.new

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") ?

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 rid of its XS addiction. Ask yourself: how many of t

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 with the items that should be exported. For example:

The Raku Programming language allows one to specify the required version, the required authority and API level: use Foo::Bar:ver<0.1.2+>:auth<zef:name>:api<2>; would only work if the at least version 0.1.2 of the Foo::Bar

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

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 hot code gets inlined, and JITted to machine code if

> Fundamentally, Raku regexes are very much like subroutines... And if they're part of a grammar, they're essentially methods on a class. And a class that can be sub-classed. Or have roles mixed in, consisting of regexes.

Raku has the [Instant]( https://docs.raku.org/type/Instant ) class: "An Instant is a particular moment in time measured in atomic seconds, with fractions. It is not tied to or aware of any epoch."
