Moving printf formats forward
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.

Shaking the RakuAST Tree
The intended audience are those people willing to be early adopters of these exciting new features in the Raku Programming Language. The examples in this blog post will work in the next release of the Rakudo compiler (probably 2023.06), but are now already available in the bleeding edge version.
-
So why is there RakuAST in the first place?
If you really want to look at this, you can find the code in src/Perl6/Grammar.nqp, src/Perl6/Actions.nqp and src/Perl6/World.nqp.

A practical example of RakuAST
If you find this very interesting, you probably want to read the RakuAST README. And the actual source code of the RakuAST classes can be found in the same directory. And if you're really feeling adventurous and you have the Rakudo repository checked out, you can have a look at the generated NQP code in gen/moar/ast.nqp.

RakuAST for Early Adopters
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.

What explains this difference in behavior?

Why isn't sign() defined for Complex numbers?

Building Rakudo on JVM backend fails: guarantee(requested_word_size <= chunklevel::MAX_CHUNK_WORD_SIZE) failed: Requested size too large (561049) - max allowed size per allocation is 524288
There's an issue pertaining to this. This is something I'd like to resolve, but I'm unsure on how to better debug this to see if it really is the deserialization of a setting file triggering it. JDK 11 should at least be capable of building Rakudo, but being an experimental backend people don't always align with MoarVM immediately, I can't make any guarantees about tests. You may be disappointed in its performance at the moment.

Resources and advice
(NB. While the PL is just a toy (and just a tiny bit of the toy too), the tech is actually industrial strength, used to power the production Raku compiler, which is written in Raku using its grammar construct. Starting easy doesn't mean you can't go far. Quite the opposite in fact -- you can go as far as you want.)
