I stared at
.put for @wanted.combinations.grep: { $materials ≽ [⊎] |$^stuff-we-want };
and the preceding lines for some time, and then read the description, clicked through a few of the links on the different operators and read the explanations of those, and then I finally understood what was happening here. I worry, though, that at this point in my life I would either 1) never be able to remember all this stuff; 2) even if I could remember it, never be in a position where it would dawn on me that whatever I was trying to do was a good fit for it.

[1] Meaning I like having lots of features in my toolbox. [2] And, amazingly, Rakudo is a pretty compact executable compared to most other langs.
