Flycheck-raku module for MELPA

Hi I am an emacs user, and I just installed the raku-mode for emacs. It is also advertised there is a flycheck-raku module on MELPA. But there is no such module. Instead, there is a flycheck-perl6 module. It seems the author would like people to switch from perl6-mode to raku-mode, from flychec

Re: IO ???

I am wondering why the IO::Path class doesn't have a "close" method. After I read from a file by $filename.IO.lines -> $line; Am I supposed to close the file, or it is automatically closed for me after the reading? I tried something like $filename.IO.close; It is a runtime error. It seems to

Re: need sort help

This is very interesting. But I wonder how it works. I can understand the first line my ($month, $day, $year, $hour, $minute, $second) = .comb(/\d+/); Which extract the variables from $_. What is the second line doing, it is very concise. ($year // 0, $month // 0, $day // 0, $hour // 0, $min

Re: What is my sub?

Hi, Why does anyone want to know the name of the sub inside the sub itself? Is it more interesting to know the name of the calling sub? Thanks! Xin > On May 26, 2018, at 2:32 PM, Larry Wall wrote: > > On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 07:23:45PM -0700, ToddAndMargo wrote: > : Follow up: based on Yary
