nqp VS Sparrow6

hi! I was looking at REPL-like evaluation of code from here and here, and tried to make a very small version for it, yet it fails:

Second, any "inheritance" is optional. Quoting nqp's 6model overview with my added emphasis:

Considering it has a compiler (which generates an NFA), I do not think it is fair to call it an interpreter.

When I mention the Actor model, I specifically mean the Actor model, not "an actor model". That is to say, a mathematical theory, not an implementation. In contrast, ponder what you mean by "an object model". When I mention the "metamodel", I specifically mean "a framework [that] does not contain an implementation of classes, interfaces, roles, prototype objects and so forth".

NQP is a compiler like MiniPerl for Perl 5. It is a bootstrapping tool which helps to compile the Raku parts of Rakudo and compile the libraries before running have compiled the libraries. Unlike MiniPerl for Perl 5 (which is an interpreter that can interpret all Perl syntax but miss some batteries: means without modules mixing Perl code and native code), NQP can only compile a "simplified Raku". NQP refers to both the compiler and the source code contained in files with the ".nqp" extension.

I focus on the Raku stack: the compiler Rakudo which targets the compiler compiler NQP which targets multiple backends including MoarVM. (Which

NQP is a compiler compiler toolkit that targets multiple backends: JVM, JS, and MoarVM.

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 don’t need that part if you are only interested in writing pipelines …

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 ...

I think alternatives to Ansible such as Rex and Sparrow have "fake it and show me the commands" modes — but I'm not 100% sure.

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.

Sparrow an automation framework, and its modules

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.

1) Sparrow - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6 Raku Automation Framework ( alternative to ansible )

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.

Could be added pretty easily, Sparrow has cpan-package primitive for for that.
