Re: hope we have the distributed computing [Raku]

There is no need to know about Raku development. It'd be enough to know Raku.

Best regards,

I would like to be. But I know nothing about the development of Raku
itself, so I most probably would be the product and test engineer for this
project.

Thanks.

I expect a lot from this project.


Piper, are you offering to lead your proposed project and be the primary 
developer working on it? -- Darren Duncan

hope we have the distributed computing perl6

[Piper H]

I use perl5 everyday for data statistics.
The scripts are running on a single server for the computing tasks.
I also use R, which has the similar usage.
When we face very large data, we change to Apache Spark for distributed
computing.
Spark's interface languages (python, scala, even ruby) are not flexible,
but their computing capability is amazing, due to the whole cluster
contributing the computing powers.
Yes I know perl5 is somewhat old, but in perl6 why won't we make that a
distributed computing framework like Spark? Then it will help a lot to the
data programmer who already knows perl.
I expect a lot from this project.

Thanks.
