Are sigils required?

https://docs.perl6.org/language/variables says: "Variable names can start with or without a special character called a sigil," But then in the examples all 3 have sigils. How can a variable have no sigil? Gabor

Re: Compiling Rakudo in parallel

That just confuses me :( Do I need to type make -j 4 and hope for some concurrency? or export MAKEFLAGS="-j2 --load-average=2" make as I was pointed to off-list? Would someone update the README that comes with Rakudo Star with this information, please? regards Gabor On Fri, May 26, 201

Re: Compiling Rakudo in parallel

Sadly, the majority of rakudo's and nqp's compilation is serialized (due to the dependencies between the individual pieces). If you build more than one backend at the same time, i.e. moar + jvm, you can build both in parallel. On the other hand, the biggest chunk of time is spent compiling the co

"I think a good error message would be “Cannot modify an immutable Int (42)”, or whatever else which includes the value itself." Agree. Wherever possible, error messages should show exactly what upset them. The authors of the message generator know what they're complaining about, but that doesn't

Task::Popular was Re: Task::Star and Panda

On the IRC channel, Zoffix raised a very valid point: currently some of the "popular" modules overlap. I don't want to have any curation, or human intervention in the selection. But Zoffix is right, both JSON::Tiny and JSON::Fast are "popular" but J::Fast is a drop-in replacement for J::Tiny,

Hi Steve, Thanks. I read perl6.vip - very interesting and useful. However, for someone new to the Perl6 world, there needs to be some form of recommendation about useful "first" modules. I have just suggested a Task::Popular module on the IRC channel, and feedback so far is positive. I wi

Sort of, except you really want it to be done at the end of the current request. (auto-cleanup doesn't seem to do that, setting it to 0 turns it off). When you're building a docker image you really want to make sure the end of every command only the things the NEED are in the filesystem as a snaps

The reference is indeed gone on the Rakudo site. It seems that you removed the reference after I wrote my first post (bear in mind I am in Hong Kong, so before most of the USA) because I wrote when I discovered I was getting an error from zef. In addition, I download the projects file quite regu
