Toolbox languages - Hillel Wayne
A toolbox language is a programming language that’s good at solving problems without requiring third party packages. My default toolbox languages are Python and shell scripts, which you probably already know about. Here are some of my more obscure ones. AutoHotKey Had to show up! Autohotkey is basic...

Alexey Melezhik blogged about Sparky, their flexible and minimalist continuous integration server and distributed task runner written in Raku. The post titled “Sparky – simple and effic…
In any case, on the language choice we are in agreement: as of now Raku is not a popular language, so requiring a user of the system to know the language cannot provide much appeal to the project.
FWIW, for this application, I'd say only knowledge of "baby" Raku is needed. And if you've had any exposure to "baby" Perl in the past, then you already have that.

I'm soo glad I dropped Windows 21+ years ago now!
Well, this is your chance to make sure Comma will continue!
Yeah, it is what it is. 😒 However, there is good hope that some people will at least continue development on the plugin version.
Cro is a rather large package intended to run full blown interactive services multi-threaded. So that does not seem out of place.
However, the amount of memory "used", may actually be a lot less in reality. For instance, if a run:
$ raku -e 'say Hello World"; sleep'
on MacOS with an M1, Activity Monitor reports that as using 82.4MB. But if I let the system itself report what its max_rss was for a process, it reports as 140KB. So I'm not sure if the MB number indicate actual memory usage, or just potential usage.
Strange: seems to have disappeared, or there's a temporary failure. The Google Cache shows: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:68kMFCq59f8J:https://wibble.news/content/raku-programming-the-new-language-turning-heads-and-confusing-brains
I'm going to delete this post as I re-posted it after the meta tag was corrected.
I'm sorta disappointed it doesn't let me just post a link. Instead it's just showing the whole article in a very bad format. Am I missing something?
Looking forward to be able to point people to a Raku Programming Language community here, instead of on Reddit.
