Re: Java raw string literals

I may agree that double back-tick is not nice, however the rationale of this choice is that this syntax is meant to enable *raw* string literals i.e. a string for which is not required to escape the content of *any* character. In this context it makes sense. They are created exactly how they are ty

Re: Java raw string literals

In the absensce of a dedicated string-quoting-character (which would actually _never_ appear inside a string, since it has a distinct display-brother, which is to be used if you want to use the string-quoting-character inside a text), should we go the same way as C++ or PL/SQL, and support an a

Re: Java raw string literals

It's not difficult to support Java's raw string in the Parrot parser. But it's a pity that Java use Backtick(`) character... which could have been used more expressively in Groovy... It recalls me that the exprimental feature "Custom Operator"[1] ... Cheers, Daniel.Sun [1] https://github.com/dan
