๐บ Creating a compiler in Perl 6
At the German Perl Workshop 2019 in Munich, I gave a presentation about how to create compilers and interpreters using Perl 6 grammars. This talk differs from my previous talks on this subject, so if youโve seen them, I hope you will also enjoy this one. There was a video recording during the talk, I … Continue reading “๐บ Creating a compiler in Perl 6”
๐บ Perl 6 as a new tool for language compilers
Here’s my recent talk from FOSDEM in Brussels, given on 3 February 2019. Perl 6 grammars are a great way to describe the grammar and implement an interpreter or a compiler of DSL or a programming language. In this talk, I will demonstrate how you can do it. During the talk, we will create an … Continue reading “๐บ Perl 6 as a new tool for language compilers”

๐ 24/25. Reading files with $*ARGFILES in Perl 6
Welcome to Day 24 of the Perl 6 One-Liner Advent Calendar! In the previous days, we were reading text files, so it would be logical to talk about $*ARGFILES, a built-in dynamic variable that may be handy when working with multiple input files. How do you read two or more files passed in the command-line? … Continue reading “๐ 24/25. Reading files with $*ARGFILES in Perl 6”
๐ 23/25. Calculating totals with Perl 6
Welcome to Day 23 of the Perl 6 One-Liner Advent Calendar! End of the year is the time when people evaluate there year results, and Perl 6 can help with that, too.

๐ 20/25. Using command-line options in Perl 6 one-liners
Welcome to Day 20 of the Perl 6 One-Liner Advent Calendar! So far, we created about 25 different one-liners, but never talked about the command-line options that the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler offers to us. -e The first option to know when working with (Rakudo) Perl 6 is -e. It takes a string with your Perl 6 one-liner … Continue reading “๐ 20/25. Using command-line options in Perl 6 one-liners”
