That's exactly what the Raku Programming Language does. Except that the "x" is represented by "*", so it reads: grep(*.price < 10) This is referred to as "Whatever-currying": https:/&#x2

The Raku programming language has, with some tweaks: data.store.book.grep(*.price < 10).map(*.title) Although personally I would write that as: data.store.book.map: { .title if .price < 10 } which combines the filter

In Raku, if you want to go typed, you can! It's called "gradually typed". my Int $a = 42; # ok my Int $a = "foo"; # Type check failed in assignment to $a; expected Int but got Str ("foo")

Maybe a less ambitious plan would be to convert all of the examples in it to Raku. That would at least be a less daunnting task.

None that I know of. Also, I'm unsure about MJD's feelings about adapting it to a Raku version.

At one point I started writing a book about Raku for Perl programmers. For various reasons, I did not finish that: but what did got written, wound up as a 24-part blog series on dev.to: https://dev.to/lizmat/series&#x2

It's actually a = x ?? y !! z And that's because a single : is used for many other semantics in the Raku Programming Language. And ?? and !! standout better in code. https://docs.raku.org/language/op

Please note that in Raku, you can also use a role as a class without having to create a class, through a process called auto-punning. https://docs.raku.org/language/typesystem#Auto-punning

I can assure you, nobody in the Perl crowd is doing any Raku.

Almost in the Raku Programming Language, bit with a single | states.includes('VALID' | 'IN_PROGRESS') is effectively the same as: states.includes('VALID') || states.includes('IN_PROGRESS&#x2

I assume this is directed at the author of rak, so I'll answer. $x ~~ $y is basically syntactic sugar for $y.ACCEPTS($x). Using ~~ involves an additional subroutine call, so there's a short-term efficiency issue (as in programs r
