Installed rakudo and started playing with some basics and tutorials. Some pretty cool stuff.
Re the "bind" function, is there a way to "unbind" 2 variables after being bound? Bind would be a great way to simulate different hardware signals tied together with wires. But hardware can connect and disconnect, so an "unbind" would be needed. I recall way back when, perl 6 was going to have subroutines you could call, that would return mid sub, and when called again it would start up where it last left off. Coroutine? Havent seen that in the rakudo tutorials I have been working through. Is rakudo going to support this? This would be a must-have to simulate hardware in perl. Kind of thought they might come up in the parrallelism talk, but i guess its a different variation.
