Not a chance.
- lizmat 6y agoWould you care to elaborate why?
- mjd 6y agoSo many reasons. Here are just a few. The new book would not be a “variant”, it would be a completely different book. To gain the expertise needed to to a good job with the new completely different book would require that I spend years studying Raku and thinking about what would work and how to make it work well. Even once I knew what I wanted to write about in HOP, that book took five years to write. Even if someone were to pay me full-time to do nothing but produce a Raku book, it would still take me at least four years to do it.
- zerr 6y agoThere is another popular method of writing - writing along with learning :)
- b2gills 6y agoTo be fair some of the things in HOP are just features that already exist in Raku. use v5 use Stream 'node'; sub iterator_to_stream { my $it = shift; my $v = $it->(); return unless defined $v; node($v, sub { iterator_to_stream($it) }); } vs use v6; sub iterator-to-stream ( Iterator $it ) { Seq.new($it) }
- mjd 6y agoYes, that's why it would have to be a completely different book.
