Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

Exercises come from the problem specification repository.

Seed7 on Exercism
That's going to take some time. Exercism have a standard set with a description and unit tests. The reason I got straight into the test type was because of need to conform to the unit tests.
To the wider Seed7 community: Would it be an impossible thing for any of you to contribute code to the Seed7 track on Exercism? Have a look at the full list of exercises on Exercism's github. Either paste your contributions in here, or send to bruceax at gmail dot com. Contributors will be formally acknowledged as per the Exercism docs (see the blurb about "File: .meta/config.json"). A minimum of 20 exercises is required to launch a track. There are other requirements.

Took a stab at yet another Intro to Rust post
Compare this with Exercism's problem specification, and try to figure out where additional exercises (if any) would fit into the Javascript syllabus.

What are the best materials for learning raku?
There are a variety of predefined exercisies in Exercism that have yet to be implemented in Raku: https://github.com/exercism/problem-specifications/tree/main/exercises

Efficient probability testing
First @AnAccountForReportingBugs suggested testing the mean/std.dev. via sampling, but that didn't persuade the crowd (myself included). There were two concerns: performance, and probability of false negatives. -- "Our unit tests should be 'too fast to notice'" -- "With which frequency will this test randomly fail?" -- "[...] I'd be happy to be proved wrong by a 100% reliable test that executes in <100ms." after which they rightfully responded,

The origin and virtues of semicolons in programming languages
* list of list literals (1,2; 3,4) eqv ((1,2), (3,4));

Dada, an Experiement by the Creators of Rust
amen to this … i recommend thinking about your problem in terms of effective data structures and then apply even a very simple DSL to handle access and transformations … fwiw the built in Grammars and Slang support in raku https://docs.raku.org are fantastic tools for this job.

Raku: A Language for Gremlins
When I was looking at the language, I didn't find the documentation "really poor". In fact I was impressed at how much of a one-stop-shop the official docs site was for both conceptual docs and API docs.

Migrating Perl to Raku
The Raku Programming Language documentation already contains most (if not all) the documentation you need to deal with the issues you will confront in migrating Perl code to Raku. But, as documentation goes, the focus is on the factual differences. These blogs will try to go a little more in-depth about specific issues and provide a little more hands-on information based on my experience porting quite a lot of Perl code to Raku.

Introducing Pod Renewal Initiative
I will start working on the new version of Pod as a branch in https://github.com/raku/doc.

Will Carbon Replace C++?
Well, performance has been improved by several orders of magnitude since the first release. So maybe it's time to look at https://raku.org again (or first have a look at its new documentation site https://docs.raku.org)

What do yall use raku for?
go to https://docs.raku.org/ and type "IO" into the search field. Behold the list that appears. Check out IO::Path or IO::Handle or whatever looks interesting. Maybe it's just me but I go "Ooh, look at all the things!".

Generating a hash without a helper function
Related: The Raku documentation does an excellent job explaining hashes/dictrionaries/associative arrays. If you've any issues, please submit a Github issue.

What are the best materials for learning raku?
Raku has a lot of syntax. My first attempt at learning the language failed because I couldn't get past all the strange syntax I saw at https://docs.raku.org/. Sometimes I didn't know what the syntax was called, so I didn't know what to search for.

2021 Advent of Code solutions in the Raku programming language
In the course of figuring this out, I realized that our docs also (slightly) misstate what \d means in a Regex, which led to this PR. So thanks for bringing all this up!
What are some alternatives?
When comparing problem-specifications and doc you can also consider the following projects:
java - Exercism exercises in Java.
book - Using Raku – an unfinished book about Raku
