brian d foy (Raku, née Perl 6)

You may have noticed in Learning Perl 6 (Raku) that I often used 137 as an example value. Here's where that number comes from and why it's the most important number ever youtu.be/RCSSgxV9qNw

I've uploaded Rakudo Star 2022.07 to chocolatey community.chocolatey.org/packages/rakud…

I've donated these books to Wendy & Liz's Perl bookshelf. I'm not at all offended that Wendy says she's not going to read them.

Got my copy of Learning Raku. Now I just need to learn this other language before I start on the Raku bit. Kinda wondering which part of that cover is my name in Chinese.

From a reader who got one of my DIY rename stickers for the butterfly book:

I'm setting up Github Actions for my Raku module PrettyDump. Doesn't seem so bad with all the work others have already done: @skaji/setup-raku-for-github-actions-2d16edf60885" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@skaji/setup-r… Again, I discover this when I'm halfway to doing it myself. I should search first, code later. I've been saying that for years.

My book originally titled "Learning Perl 6" now has a simplified Chinese edition, but with "Raku" on the title instead: item.jd.com/12762273.html

New translation of Learning Perl 6

"Observing Coronavirus Pandemic with Raku" from @andrewshitov perl.com/article/observ…

I'm thinking of making a sticker for a DRY (Do Re-Title Yourself) Learning Perl 6.

@b2gills @ThePerlShop @briandfoy_perl [eq] is quite nice, so I wrote a little about the reduction operator: learningraku.com/2020/03/17/red…

@ThePerlShop @briandfoy_perl Translated from Perl to Raku /(*script_run:(\d+))/ / \d+ <?{ [eq] $/.Str.uniprops('script') }> / or to get even closer: my regex script-run ($r) { $r <?{ [eq] $/.Str.uniprops('script') }> } / <script-run( /\d+/ )> /

brian d foy (@briandfoy_perl) demonstrates how #Perl regular expressions are better for securely handling insecure text in the modern threat environment compared to the RE implementation in most other languages. buff.ly/2U5EWKv

Learning Perl 6 has a little more cover decoration for the reprint.

Learning Perl 6 is getting a reprint and a Simplified Chinese edition.

Huh, I set autocorrect on my local machine to turn "Perl 6" into "Raku", but I'm still typing the former.

Raku's role composition problem that I noted a long, long time ago may have now been fixed: blogs.perl.org/users/vadim_be… stackoverflow.com/q/41791602/276…

There was a problem with Cloudflare while I was rearranging things today, but I should have fixed that. It was on and off throughout testing.

learningperl6.com is now also learningraku.com.
