Dynamic CI pipelines with SparrowCI - Alexey Melezhik
Please pay attention if you want to dig really deep )) , then underlying SparrowCI itself is just a transpiler from YAML ( plus some more features ) into Sparrow DSL which is documented here - https://github.com/melezhik/sparrow6 but you probably donβt need that part if you are only interested in writing pipelines β¦

requesting thoughts/advice on distributing personal tools
As an addition to what's been already said, you might distribute your personal libraries as Sparrow plugins and spin up a private Sparrow repo for that - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6/blob/master/documentation/repository.md , it should not be very hard and by they way Sparrow is well integrated with zen by using Rakufile mechanism - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6/blob/master/documentation/development.md#package-managers , so one can distribute any ref modules (including taken from git , not eco system ) by just including Rakufile into one's plugin ...

Testing is such a MAJOR headache! What strategies do you use to deal with it?
I think alternatives to Ansible such as Rex and Sparrow have "fake it and show me the commands" modes β but I'm not 100% sure.

How ready is Roku for primetime?
I'm not sure if there is a full fledged web framework for Raku just yet, but one of its claims to fame is Sparrow. It's declarative configuration management akin to Puppet, Chef, or Ansible.

Bird - Raku DSL for infrastructure testing
During this stage Bird will use prepared task checks rules (check file - /root/.bird/285892/state.check]) and run them against the output. Bird will use Sparrow task check DSL to do so.

Validating k8s deployments using Sparrow
Sparrow is a wonderful tool to automate @daily devops tasks. Recently I've dropped a new plugin called k8s-deployment-check to verify k8s deployments. It lets you with a little bit of Raku code effectively test entire k8s infrastructure, including k8s deployments.

Glot.io now supports Raku
Could be added pretty easily, Sparrow has cpan-package primitive for for that.

What's a good way to represent overloaded functions at a low level?
Now, as to how that's done at the low level, and whether the way it's done is a good way to do it, well, I can't help. Suffice to say, the main place to look for how this is handled at the low-level is MoarVM. I dug around for a couple minutes and have a link to a commit from nearly a decade ago. Does that help?

Language intrinsics and custom array layout
For a class the default representation is P6Opaque. This is one of a few dozen stock representations that Raku requires compiler backends implement as standard. See, for example, the 46 .c/.h pairs of C89 source files in the relevant MoarVM directory. A quick glance at the names of the source code files should paint a broad picture. A look at their code will fill in some details.
- Directly run compiled bytecode file?
-
How do you know if an allocator is good?
I'm hoping someone who knows C89 can take a quick gander at the C89 code implementing 47 representations in here and comment on it.

Any languages doing anything interesting with allocators?
This is (yet another) very un(der)documented Raku feature (over a decade after it was introduced!), but one can browse what looks to me like reasonably clean and commented C89 code implementing 47 representations in the relevant MoarVM directory.
