I'm the author of Learning Perl 6, although the language has changed its name to Raku. I'm arranging to update the title of the book too.

You may have noticed in Learning Perl 6 (Raku) that I often used 137 as an example value. Here's where that number comes from and why it's the most important number ever

I've donated these books to Wendy & Liz's Perl bookshelf. I'm not at all offended that Wendy says she's not going to read them.

Got my copy of Learning Raku. Now I just need to learn this other language before I start on the Raku bit.

Kinda wondering which part of that cover is my name in Chinese.

I'm setting up Github Actions for my Raku module PrettyDump. Doesn't seem so bad with all the work others have already done:

Again, I discover this when I'm halfway to doing it myself. I should search first, code later. I've been saying that for years.

My book originally titled "Learning Perl 6" now has a simplified Chinese edition, but with "Raku" on the title instead:

I'm thinking of making a sticker for a DRY (Do Re-Title Yourself) Learning Perl 6.

@b2gills @ThePerlShop @briandfoy_perl [eq] is quite nice, so I wrote a little about the reduction operator:

Learning Perl 6 has a little more cover decoration for the reprint.

Learning Perl 6 is getting a reprint and a Simplified Chinese edition.

Huh, I set autocorrect on my local machine to turn "Perl 6" into "Raku", but I'm still typing the former.

Raku's role composition problem that I noted a long, long time ago may have now been fixed: https://t.co/Lrw5kJTBn0 https://t.co/ffCWIKSDuJ

There was a problem with Cloudflare while I was rearranging things today, but I should have fixed that. It was on and off throughout testing.
