Note that HN's formatting ate several of the * in the comment above, which makes it much harder to follow. > (also yes, (* * *) will take two inputs and multiply them.) That's true, but Raku also supports non-Unicode math operators, so the more idiomatic way to write that would be (* × *) which, in isolation, still isn't that clear. But it usually is in context. And, if it isn't – well, that's why there's more than one way to do it!
