The speed (improvement) of Rakudo

2017-06-16 Thread Gabor Szabo
Hi, Is there some measurements regarding the speed of Rakudo? e.g. It would be nice to have a graph of some hand-picked operations measured at different points in time of the development of Rakudo and then graphed in a nice way. Is there anything like that? Gabor

I think it'd be cool to notice, and properly report, write errors, rather than silently ignoring them. Back when lwall was asking for things we wanted perl6 to do, I asked to be able to wrap builtins specifically so I could use Fatal qw(print). Yes, perl5 often ignores write errors, but no, I

Perl 6 ignores SIGPIPE

2017-06-16 Thread Sean McAfee
