You can write a sub to return the next step:
sub bondigi { state $n=1; return (, xx $n,
xx $n++); }

Iterator. How do we write one of those?

Perhaps Perl 6 should not aspire to the expressiveness of APL. :) As
nice as it is that you can write Conway's Life in a one-liner(*), I
think that a little verbosity now and then is a good thing for
legibility.
So how is this:

The operator '[+]', which you get by applying the meta-operator
'[...]' to the infix binary operator '+', is a prefix list operator.
So that much makes sense. But I still think the two different
meanings of square brackets in operators are going to confuse people.

I note that Rakudo currently uses the time_t value directly. I think 1

close to but not the same as time_t values would create undue

above, the

*real* UTC, not POSIX's broken idea of it that claims 24 seconds out

uts and outputs of Temporal are UTC, then Perl
is using UTC, not TAI. Is it TAI internally? Well if it's
manipulating years, months, days, hours, and minutes as their TAI
values, then yes, but if it's just working with an absolute count of
atomic seconds, then there's no reason to say that it's TAI vs. UTC,
because at that level, they completely agree with each other.
--
Mark J. Reed
a count of atomic seconds,
great. That, however, is not TAI. UTC and TAI and the proposed
leap-second-free UTC-replacement "TI" all tick at the same rate and at
the same time, and you can devise any number of time scales that do
likewise, differing only in the labels.

Obviously that should be "its value". Thank you, iPhone, for thinking
you know better than I how to
efit of a Date object
over a DateTime object that simply has its time fields zeroed, which is
flexibility. The latter is still by implication tied to a specific swath of
spacetime (e.g. midnight to midnight in some time zone), whereas the former

on of these code points. (and
U+x for all valid values of x up through 0x10) are invalid so they
can be used as sentinel values within application memory, for
instance. Whereas U+FFFE is illegal precisely because it's the
inverse of the BOM.

Is it possible with the new parameter declaration syntax to declare

Ruby's String class has the methods sub (replace once) and gsub
(replace all), which leave the invocant alone and return the
result of the substitution, and sub! and gsub!, which modify the

Cool! But now I'm a little confused - what happened to Apocalypses 8
through 11? :)

Should Perl6::Slurp be added to Bundle::Perl6? Or is that not being kept
up-to-date?

Unicode per se doesn't do anything to file sizes; it's all in how you
encode it. The UTF-8 encoding is not so attractive in locales that make

Juerd: your message arrived in my inbox as an attachment due to a mail server
along the way not recognizing the "charset" value. It should be "utf-8"
with the hyphen, not "utf8". Also for that reason all the non-ASCII
