You may have noticed in Learning Perl 6 (Raku) that I often used 137 as an example value. Here's where that number comes from and why it's the most important number ever youtu.be/RCSSgxV9qNw

I've uploaded Rakudo Star 2022.07 to chocolatey community.chocolatey.org/pac…

I've donated these books to Wendy & Liz's Perl bookshelf. I'm not at all offended that Wendy says she's not going to read them.

From a reader who got one of my DIY rename stickers for the butterfly book:

I'm setting up Github Actions for my Raku module PrettyDump. Doesn't seem so bad with all the work others have already done: medium.com/@skaji/setup-raku… Again, I discover this when I'm halfway to doing it myself. I should search first, code later. I've been saying that for years.

My book originally titled "Learning Perl 6" now has a simplified Chinese edition, but with "Raku" on the title instead: item.jd.com/12762273.html

I'm thinking of making a sticker for a DRY (Do Re-Title Yourself) Learning Perl 6.

Learning Perl 6 has a little more cover decoration for the reprint.

Learning Perl 6 is getting a reprint and a Simplified Chinese edition.

Huh, I set autocorrect on my local machine to turn "Perl 6" into "Raku", but I'm still typing the former.

Raku's role composition problem that I noted a long, long time ago may have now been fixed: blogs.perl.org/users/vadim_b… stackoverflow.com/q/41791602…
