  1. @profoundlynerdy I don’t know anything about #Rakudo’s internals, but Is there any conceivable way for a language-neutral subset of #RakuLang #regexes to be based on or share its code rather than reimplement them?

    The subset might omit things like code interpolation. Or is it all-or-nothing?

    It would be a nice teaser for the full power of Raku grammars, kind of like how #iTunes for Windows was #SteveJobs’ offer of “a glass of water to somebody in hell.” a.co/5J0CTSL

    That's why I appreciate the fact that implements "use strict;" by default.

    I don't honestly know the ins & outs of the *insanely* protracted political battle of Perl "6," but I'm very sad that the community ultimately rejected Perl 6, spinning it off as a new language with a new name, making some minor changes to 5 & calling it Perl 7. :'(

    Speaking of which, is Perl 7 coming out any time soon, or is IT going to take 20 years as well? %)
