RFC 223: Superpositions

Damian Conway is one of those names in the Perl and Raku world that almost doesn't need mentioning. He is one of the most prolific contributors to CPAN and was foundational in the design of Raku (then Perl 6). One of his more interesting proposals came in RFC223 on Superpositions, which suggested making his Perl Quantum::Superposition's features available in the core of the language.

What is a Superposition?¹

In the quantum world, there are measurable things that can exist in multiple states — simultaneously — until the point in time in which we measure them. For computer scientists, perhaps the most salient application of this is in qubits which, as a core element of quantum computing, threaten to destroy encryption as we know it, if quantum supremacy is borne out.

At the end of the day, though, for us it means being able to treat multiple values as if they were a single value so long as never actually need there to only be one, at which point we get a single state f

This is designed to be a working proposal. Comments/corrections/suggestions are welcome, as the first draft was written fairly hastily. I'm working on doing a rough implementation to play around with, beginning with the Binex proposal, which can be found here. It is not currently a full implementation of this proposal, but progressing rapidly.

Background

Grammars in Raku are awesome, and allow for some truly amazing text parsing.
Unfortunately, they are less than ideal for binary files, and there is no way to have them support matching objects, both of which would be very useful (image being able to pattern match on an AST!) This requires writing complex and/or error prone workaround code.

Goal

=begin pod

Raku is a gradual typed language, allowing you to completely ignore typing for quick mock ups,
or enforce very strict typing to ensure reliability in critical programs.  This is a guide for
certain issues that can come up when writing strongly typed Raku code.
