Hi all, I'd like to learn Raku deep enough to build a data structure. I have experience with Perl5, Python, R, and even C/C++, then I get boring feelings to learn something new from the beginning. Also, I prefer learning a new language by applying f to something.
Since I work with data analysis and data science, I'd like to try to develop a data structure to dataframe in pure Raku. And if I do a basic but useful thing capable to load a field delimited file (as CSV or TSV) into a dataframe, I'll transform in a package and upload it to GitHub to comparatively enhance the package. What I need is suggestions for how do I start it. - How I define a data structure: an array of arrays? - Given the raku itself (and maybe some already existing packages) what the structures and functions I may use. I got these ideas to start: The dataframe should support columns name to be called as: df.column1 and it should return a list of values on this column. Also, when it read the delim file it should check each column type. All suggestions are welcome. -- Aureliano Guedes skype: aureliano.guedes contato: (11) 94292-6110 whatsapp +5511942926110
