    This then became the Formatter class. And since this was a completely new feature, it only became available for use by opting into the 6.e.PREVIEW language version. And then it went largely unnoticed and uncared for the next 1.5 year. As clearly the time wasn't right for it yet.
  • RakuAST for Early Adopters
    2 projects | dev.to | 24 May 2023
    Yes, it would. But until there was RakuAST, that was virtually impossible to do because there was no proper API for building ASTs. Nor was there an interface to execute those ASTs. And now that there is RakuAST, it is actually possible to do this. And there is actually already an implementation of that idea in the new Formatter class. Although this is definitely not intended as an entry point into grokking RakuAST.

    Rakudo is the most complete implementation of Raku currently. You can build from source if you are so inclined, but the easiest way is to install one of the Linux binary packages by Claudio Ramirez, or to use any of the other installation methods.

    >I don't know that I'd call Raku battle-hardened yet

    You're right here, the Rakudo[1] compiler had its first stable release back in 2015 and comparatively speaking, there's a lot of space for growth.

    This Pull Request would allow you to give some feedback with a subset if binding fails.
