Going_raku

I fell upon raku yesterday. I never looked into perl for real.. found it a bit whimsey.

But it’s often not the language that is confusing.. or ‘off’ - it’s your preparedness.. your ability to read it. I discovered Ruby through another language.. and after using Ruby for some time.. I am able to appreciate raku when I see it.

I will have to use both Ruby and Raku simultaneously. When I focus on one language only.. the other fades away and finally disappears. This happened for me when I stopped coding in Nim and instead only used Ruby.

So I decided this: every idea I have.. I will code in both Ruby and Raku.

# testing syntax support for raku in HUGO
say [+] 3,4,5; 

puts [3,4,5].inject(:+)

NOTE: First I hade rakudo installed via AUR.. but there was some conflict with perl. I uninstalled and installed rakudo star from scratch. You’re not really encouraged to install packages on Manjaro with AUR.
