Which brings me back to the other of my criticisms of the documentation. The examples are high level users showing off their skills making for a totally useless example for beginners. They should show a simple example and then work up to the show off stuff.On that note, OOC, what do you think about the level of the "Don't fear the grepper!" blog series: https://dev.to/lizmat/dont-fear-the-grepper-1-1k3e https://dev.to/lizmat/dont-fear-the-grepper-2-4ki5 https://dev.to/lizmat/dont-fear-the-grepper-3-hfp https://dev.to/lizmat/dont-fear-the-grepper-4-nki
I have never picked up the grep function. I use grep a lot in bash programming, but not yet in Raku. I always find something I like better and also easier to understand and maintain. `contains`, `starts-with`, `ends-with` all comes to mind. I can even get fancy and look for the boolean return from regex, but I have abandoned that approach as it is harder for me to figure out when trying to maintain something I have not seen in a while. (I find if I do a contains first, I can instantly figure out what I was up to.) Someday maybe I will pick up grep. I should probably create a note for grep with these links in it.
