Really, how hard could it be? All this talk about types, objects, and systems, got me to thinking, "what would it take to create a 100% backwards-compatible pure Perl proof-of-concept for optionally typable subroutine signatures". I mean re…
Inextricably bound Perl isn't a strongly typed language, and its built-in types are limited and not generally accessible to the engineer, however, Perl supports various classes of data and in recent years has flirted with various ways of en…
In previous three episodes I explored regular expression APIs of Ruby, Crystal, and Python, so let's finish this by doing the same exercise in Raku. The problem is the same - there's multiple date formats, and we want to extract information…
Abstract Programming in Perl is choices all the way down. Perl is a multi-paradigm programming language which means that Perl can support the development of software using different programming paradigms, e.g. functional programming, object…
I'm learning a new language called Raku. Why? I want to automate tasks and learn how to solve complex algorithms. Also, I wanted to learn something new, interesting and different. I am already profess…
Sidef is a prototype programming language, describing itself as inspired by Ruby, Raku, and Julia. Installation on OSX It's not that easy to run Sidef. It runs on Perl 5 platform and you can install it through CPAN, but you'll run into seri…

While developing many of my projects I've found myself faced with the timeless question: to document or not to document? My goal is to provide man pages for any project used from the command-line or d…
I covered Raku and Raku regular expressions before, now it's time to complete this with an episode about Raku grammars. Processing text is one of the most common tasks in programming, so most languages since Perl come with some kind of regu…
Just started my perl journey this past week!, after coding in python for most of my time except some classes in school where i worked in C. It's alot of fun, abit different from python with the "my" b…
