Don't need a "try" there to make it work. An exception object/failure is
false, so "my $f = open(...) or die" will assign the exception to $f, which
is false, causing the "die" to execu

Convenience. It makes it easy to write commonly-used constructs much
faster.
My mostly unscientific approach to gather usage of try vs. CATCH in the
ecosystem:

For a "convert files to $format" thing, you'd want to replace the
extension. You don't need to specify the previous extension(s) if it's a
quick-and-dirty thing where you know everything passed to it will be

Hi
I have issues with GIT and https (company restrictions) and have to use
git with the git protocol.
Hopefully rakudo Configure.pl includes an option to use git as protocol
(--git-protocol=git).
It works perfectly to clone nqp and MoarVM.
Unfortunately when MoarVM Configure.pl is called, MoarVM

Hmm, this sounds like a nice idea on a first gla
Given so many handy methods for built-in classes, it would be nice to have
a couple of more for some, for instance:
IO:Path.stemname
Like basename except any suffix is removed
IO::Handle.say (or println)
Like print except with an added newline.
Cheers!

I humbly suggest that rakudobrew, or perhaps rakudo Configure.pl, edit
.gitmodules before running MoarVM Configure.pl if passed a different git
protocol than https://.
That is probably a better solution than trying to find a
lowest-common-denominator protocol which is supported everywhere, since it
