Raku is a rich programming language; it took years to design and implement. That’s why running it in a browser seems an ambitious goal. Nevertheless, that’s mostly possible. Meet raku.online — a fully standalone Raku++ engine called Raku.js running in a browser. There are three main panels here: source code on the left, output panel … Continue reading “Raku in a Browser”

Programming languages are fascinating. Even if you think that these are the last days when you need to write code yourself, that only gives you more time to enjoy the beauty. In this article I would like to showcase some of the small but astonishing features of Raku. Even if you never had a chance … Continue reading “Raku: a Language Where 0.1 + 0.2 is 0.3”
Raku++: The Long Read
How a from-scratch Raku compiler in C++ went from an empty directory to ~82% of the official test suite — plus a native code generator, a self-hosting toolchain, and a browser playground — in under three weeks. This is the long version of the story. The short version lives in the announcement; the disciplined version lives … Continue reading “Raku++: The Long Read”

Honestly, I could, to some extent. The timeline for the last 20+ years was not linear at all, and had its … Continue reading “Raku++ — the fastest Raku compiler”
