how to make a context aware code evaluater like REPL
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:

What's the position/name of Raku(formerly Perl6)'s `grammar` in parsing technology?
Considering it has a compiler (which generates an NFA), I do not think it is fair to call it an interpreter.
-
What would Raku look like without any syntactic sugar?
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".

Raku: features, community and main interpreter/VM
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.

When implementing a language, what's your favourite backend?
I focus on the Raku stack: the compiler Rakudo which targets the compiler compiler NQP which targets multiple backends including MoarVM. (Which

Pakku Through Images
Pakku is a package manager for the Raku Programming Language. Latest releases of Pakku are part of Pakku Celastrina version family. Celastrina name means elegant and beutiful, So I will take the opportunity to introduce how elegant IMO Pakku handles Raku distributions.

Winding down
At the last European Perl Conference I proposed to change the name of "Perl 6". After a lot of discussion, it was decided that it was going to be called the Raku Programming Language.

UTF-8 (de)composition
Raku note: This language has no length method on strings, because in Unicode world it is super confusing. Instead there are separate methods to ask precisely about amount of characters, amount of code points and amount of bytes.

Moving printf formats forward
This became one of the first things that needed to be done, to be able to say the new implementation would be matching the old. During the development of these tests, it became clear there were some inconsistencies in the existing implementation, and worse: outright bugs.
What are some alternatives?
