Raku's "core"

Then mathematical neatness became a goal and led to pruning some features from the core of the language.

— John McCarthy, History of Lisp

If you prefer programming languages with a tidy and tiny core, you're in for a treat. This article drills down to the singleton primitive at the heart of Raku's metamodel ("model of a model") of a model of computation ("how units of computations, memories, and communications are organized")1.

The reason I've written this article

It began with u/faiface's reddit post/thread "I'm impressed with Raku"2. One of their sentences in particular stood out for me:

trans DWEM

What this is

My documentation of P6's .trans routine for anyone who reads it.

It may be a step toward updating the official doc and/or cleaning up the relevant spec tests and/or functionality.

I have tried to be clear enough that a future me will be able to make sense of it, and hopefully anyone else who reads this.

It's supposedly exhaustive (definitely exhausting!).

One body shared by multiple signatures (Tentative proposal for 6.d)
This is one of several gists I've written that relate to several distinct tentative proposals for 6.d that make sense both independently and together.
This gist discusses a long conjectured feature that would work nicely with the other proposals:
Others include:
* [Implicit/explicit mutation in 6.c]().

Feedback for Moritz about irclogger changes

What about “Communal logmarks”? To logmark a line that isn’t already logmarked, click it’s time field. From now till someone or something unhighlights it, that line will be highlighted for you. And for everyone else. It’s a communal logmark. Anyone (or anything) can click again to unhighlight.

Original gist below, with couple minor edits.

Feedback for Moritz about irclogger changes

Even if you do nothing else…

I am very happy you’ve done what you’ve done. I say the prognosis just sharply improved for #perl6 summaries, my carpal tunnel pain, and your irclogger software!

irclog summarizer
Strawman design for a summarizer version of Moritz's irclogger.
Phase 1
-------
Call the web display that you (Moritz) have currently implemented at
http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/today "Full mode" or Full for short.
"Summarizer mode" is as it sounds like you (Moritz) have in a branch --
a similar display to Full but with a "Summaries checkbox" against
