On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 1.8.0
Zygodactyly.
Parrot, http://parrot.org/, is a virtual machine aimed at running
all dynamic languages.
Parrot 1.8.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site
ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/1.8.0/, or follow the

Did you mean a power of 10 instead? I can't see how it makes sense
right now.

Given the above, if one wants to construct a full-precision rational
value in terms of 3 Int values analogous to a mantissa and radix and
exponent, what is the best way to write it in Perl 6?
For example, say I want the following expression to result in a FatRat
